Geez, Arraya, where did you get that photo? Hmmm, looks like Michelle got some skills….
I’m getting mental pictures of Bachmann fans with adolescent histories of using the infamous Farrah Fawcett swimsuit as an aid to self-gratification doing the same with this money shot…..
(someone pleeeasse make them go awaaaay…)[/quote] Eaves: I’m willing to be extremely understanding on a lot of topics, but “hands off” Farrah Fawcett! I HAD that poster and I, er, um, well… I had that poster. [/quote]
Now THAT’S a revelation (not). But I confess to feeling a bit let down, Allan.
It’s not that I object to your adolescent habit of self-abuse with visual aids. In fact, back then, I took perverse adolescent pleasure in knowing that a high school classmate with a totally unrequited crush on me did the same with my yearbook picture (BTW, he’s now my husband).
But I would never have expected someone with your savoir faire to resort to so mundane an inspiration. I would have thought that you performed your five-fingered exercises to the vision of Isabelle Adjani or Julie Christie or Catherine Deneuve. You disappoint me, Allan.
Alors, à chacun ses goûts.

Say what you will, but the 2012 election is going to be a barnburner! (Little nod to Iowa, there). As wacky as the GOP field is (Huntsman excepted), Obama is going to have his hands full and it’ll be difficult for the Dems to pull out a win (at this point, anyway).[/quote]
I liked Huntsman. Very much, in fact, until they asked him to explain why he had shipped tens of thousands of jobs overseas. He gave this long, rambling answer that, in fact, did not answer the question. He almost immediately segued into the standard, “We need to make the atmosphere in America more corporation-friendly” speech that all Republican candidates spit out. What?! The hundreds of billions that Americans SPEND on the products made and services offered by corporations isn’t enough for the motherfuckers?
Right now, I’m lovin’ Gary Johnson. Any guy that can stand up in a Republican lineup and openly and enthusiastically endorse the legalization of pot and prostitution, defend a woman’s right to choose, and proclaim his belief in the existence of global warming in this political environment gets me wet and happy. I’d lick envelopes for this guy.
[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Perry is far more formidable than anyone realizes and for one reason: JOBS. Rightly or wrongly (based on the actual facts behind the story), Texas is perceived as a jobs-creation engine. [/quote]
I fear that you are right, Allan. Most Americans have an attention span that will last only through “I created more jobs”. They’ll totally miss the part that reveals that the jobs are almost entirely in the minimum wage and lower category.
Forget how much education and job experience we all have. We need to start looking in the mirror, while practicing the phrase, “Will you have the hot apple pie with that”.
*BTW, forgive the late response on the post. Got a bit backed up as of late.
