I feel as vulnerable as ever! Like the calm before the storm... "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Just in case you missed it. Pakistan agrees to withdraw 18 billion from Swiss banks that it took as aid (mostly economic). Wonder what they could have done to help their own people during the flood in that country last year Do you feel any safer? I don't.. Neither does our government. ~ Dear doctor please help me I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart. ~

This is truly remarkable. I hope someone will tell them about this. Maybe they can do something for her. http://tinyurl.com/3kn4m4e

I'm not sure that there IS a "north" of Caribou...but look on the map for Eagle Lake. It's where my mom's family is from, and everyone there is related to everyone else there (apologies to my northern Maine cousins).

this current events forum is as good a place as any to discuss politics....even if the subject IS evil....there are other forums here for the discussion of other topics......just sayin'....(~};=

Is it time to talk about politics? Do we really need to discuss this? Well, I was just adding my two cents. Do what you want with it.I don't know how Rod Blagojevich is either. Dwoop.

Maybe you could be POTUS, but could your wife be FLOTUS? Ask GTed if you could be elected dog-catcher in Kansas wearing a tie-dye. Speaking of Kansas, I have night-mares about that place. It was a terribly muggy summer night and I was driving 10 Tibetan Buddhist monks through a thick cloud of grasshoppers at 65 mph. It was sort of like Men In Black. The monks, who won't step on an ant, were freaking out. Have to say the people in Kansas were nice, specially in Topeka and Lawrence. but that state is so Red it's a permanent sunrise/sunset. A for the other Vt. Senator, let there be said that Pat Leahy (other Sen (D VT) is a noble public servant , especially on Constitutional rights, a war he regularly loses, but puts up a valid defense. Dick Cheney told him to go fuck himself around '03 and he just took it. Curled my toes man. No Vermonter would have bent over for that but, you know, it's their game of power and prestige (goddamn recording devices) Back to Maine, my biggest fear would be for a snowmobile to zip across the border in Febrary with a suitcase of Ebola virus carried by some drunkard for $100. Thom Clany did something close to that. Well, I think this proves I have ADHD and I'll be picking up my script of 30mg Adderall after seeing the Dr. in the morning.

The Donald, master of apprentices, is after POTUS' grades now.... I imagine many of our European and UK friends are getting prepped for the big wedding tomorrow morning (3 am TV coverage in the central USA). Any Furthur folks on the guest list? Sir Elton, Sir Mick and Sir Paul perhaps?

Just wondering how you knew that the correct pronunciation of "birther," at least where I think that I was born, is "berthah" ;-)

I had been wondering why all of a sudden everyone was going on about Bertha 'Test me, test me why don't you arrest me..' mutters Pres. Obama under his breath to noone in particular '...at least I've got my own friggin' hair'
