Well, that’s better than the usual Christian response: “KILL THEM (and some Jews too if they happen to be nearby)”

So far as Bush’s post-presidency:
“This is going to be Bush vision.” Brinkley said of the [freedom] institute. “Bush has never liked the academics, and this is a nonacademic institute aimed at cutting to the core of things: only pro-democracy foot soldiers who are green-lit by George and Laura Bush are in the mix.”

Curse those academics and their ‘brains’! They might have a PhD but look who was president.

Ahk, the same thing happened to an Audi I had in the Navy Yard in Charlestown, a week after I bought the car. I feel their pain.

Damn Irish mob & code of silence coercing with with tow truck drivers

To the Audi driver:

it’s Karma. You are driving an Audi. I had a friend who high-centered his A-4 on a climbing trip with me. He was driving an Audi. It was his fault. It is Karma.

For all the fit Austinites, there are just as many fat/obese rubes that live in the neighboring counties. I guarantee you they don’t know what ‘stairs’ are. If you can’t drive there, ride a beast bigger than them, take an escalator or elevator, they ain’t going. So a lot of bitterz will not be at the inauguration. A win for Barry.

They should have just eaten a Mentos and persuaded four beefy European guys to pick up the car and move it to a safe place.

What is there about David Gregory that I’ve never gotten?

Metro escalators will be closed for the Inauguration Day? oh, so that explains why the Ballston escalators have been out for so long- Metro is practicing on us. But the day after Inauguration when my NEW PRESIDENT is in- all escalators will work – for the first time ever.

“Today is the day when local Christmas trees are finally legal, thus making them undesirable to members of Congress.”

This intern of yours is a hoot, Mr. Layne. If she considers tumbleweed to be a respectable form of currency, you should, you know, actually hire her.

Several thoughts. Sunday Source always sucked. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hans, D Gregory is kinda hot, kinda sassy, kinda like the older brother we all wish we had . Seriously, he’s the younger Brokaw. Listening to his delivery when he did Nightly the other night, he sounded like he was doing an impression. As to the escalators, this might explain why they are off on one day every four years, but it doesn’t explain why they are f-ed every other day of the year. I will be traveling to the people’s inaugural events either by limo or a sedan chair carried by HOT Marines to avoid any problems.
