Sometimes leaves fall and sometimes buds are up, the economy is just like that.

I'm more of a fan of the 'pitchfork theory'.

The South tends to be chronically poor states and/or highly dependent on Federal aid. So the recession won't be such an economic shock to them.

WI elected a Democratic governor who will veto any gerrymandering or legislative bullshit the statehouse Republicans will try to push through so they no longer can count on it helping them for the next decade after 2020. The hilarious irony of last year's election is that Scott Walker was blocked from pushing for a recount by his own sore loser law that he signed into law, which required a vote count difference of 1 percent or more. PA has a Democratic governor as well, I think.

But she already was and rose from the dead. She feasts on George when he's asleep.

1. Like Trump has the faintest fucking idea what a "basis point" is. 2. It's way past time to dump Kellyanne Conway in a vat of acid.

'Happy up to the end' is the best way to remember him, knowing he had a good life with you. Can any of us, or the little ones we bring into our lives, hope for better?

So wonderfully fluffy, and you're right, he was one happy pup.

Trump wants it all ways. Everyone is doing everything wrong, but the economy is great, booming in fact, and it's all him. Must be, since everyone else is doing everything wrong.

Okay, let's say a taco enters a cheap time warp and is sent back in an inexpensive wormhole to a more expensive period of time and is therefore worth more. Except the taco sauce, which was cheaper then. When evaluating the steady state of an unsauced taco, it must be considered than the worm hole length divided by the Filbert Gate Constant times .00723 Lamda squared, written on the chalk board as if you knew what it meant, times the sum of the radicals of Pi, and bob's yer uncle. See?

Kellyanne Conjob socializes with Sally Quinn, Andrea Mitchell and Maureen Dowd. Cokie Roberts must feel so left out. Maybe Bill Mahr could join them for Girls' Night Out

I have been trying to post this photo for two years as "those cakes we like" I got a new PC with WIndows 10 and now it works. Yay. These are Linzer Torts I made some time ago.
