Things I Don't Get
1. How a person can just lie and lie and lie to Congress, even as everyone else who testifies in the matter contradict what that person says. How arrogant do you have to be? Seriously. Isn't there a point where you just say, "Whoa, ya caught me. My bad"?
2. How The Dog can spring up from a dead sleep, jump off the bed and run into the living room to bark with amazing ferocity at some beastie or ghoulie or vibration, making me sure that someone is either trying to break in or an earthquake is coming, and how after he's barked like a crazy thing he'll suddenly stop, come back to the bed and curl up to sleep like nothing happened.
3. How The Spouse and Child can both sleep through #2.
4. Calculus.

On number 1.... when you are the butt boi for the President of the United States, you have basically gone to the top because of your ability to clean a colon from the inside out, so a few more lies really means nothing!
Oh! That's a very efficienet use of tax dollars, by the way...have staff who can perform a colonoscopy. Who knew?
ya, i know the feeling
Ask the neighbor if I can stay with her, too. Me and The Dog are SO not going to be getting along.
I've never seen anyone duck and dodge the way Gonzalez does. The entertainment value is enormous.
I never got calculus either.
#1 - It is getting a bit ridiculous, isn't it? (Mark this on your calendar - me, agreeing politically with you [grin!])
#2 - I haven't had an indoor dog for eons, until now, and #2 totally cracked me up. Riley can be dead to the world - call his name? No response. Then, all of a sudden, he is racing to the door, barking his brains out at - what? Then drops back instantly into that dead to the world sleep.
#3 - When we were camping and he did that - only it was deer, not nothing - The Spouse slept right through it. The entire rest of the campground woke up, but not The Spouse.
#4 - I actually do get calculus. Sorry. :)
Did anyone notice that I spelled efficient is a funny way?
BTW, Mouse, how are real estate sales going these days?
Actually, JP, I think that Mr. Dog will be staying with his sister that weekend. With everything that's going on it will likely be best for everyone.
Jon, It really is something, isn't it? I just watch in total fascination. I know people have lied to Congress before but he's just raised it to an art form!
Gina: See, that's the point...things like telling the truth, or wanting the truth to be told...that's not a political value. I don't want Gonzales to tell the truth because I'm a Democrat...I want him to tell the truth because he's the frakking #1 Law Man in the country and if he isn't honest then he can hardly be investigating the integrity of others.
And I knew you got calculus. Pft.
A very afishnet list m'dear.
"Afishnet"...see? I knew I was spelling it wrong.
I think the answer is "Let sleeping barking lying dogs do calculus."
Or "42".
It's definitely one of those two.
You know we've come a long way when the President of the United States and Colonoscopies are becoming synonymous..:-P
Alberto is a bad, bad boy. Ditto dogs...but mine bark at a breeze...really. Now that Steve is a CPAP user, he sleeps through anything, well almost anything. I barely got through Algebra 1...I thought calculus was a kidney stone.
LOL, Alan. I like #1...covers everything.
No kidding, Grish. A long way toward disaster.
Rosie, would you please go to DC and smack Al? Maybe he'd listen to you.
Life is full of mysteries.
The fact that our Atty. General just lies and lies and lies and is SO OBVIOUS about it and Bush still has 28% approval ratings tells me that at least 3 out of every 10 Americans are hopelessly stupid.
STOOPID.
Just sayin'.
And I bet they don't get calculus, either, Red. Wait...
"Personally,I blame the Communists for burning the Reichstag..But that's just me"..Joseph Goebels..
I say we elect Gonzales the new Minister of lying liars who lie.
You are wise, Mom.
And you, Sling, are so on to something.
I'm just waiting for the breaking point, where it gets so bad in the Red camp that they quit covering for each other and its every man for himself. I will be pulling up a seat with some popcorn for that.
Yeah, what is it with dogs? My dogs POP UP in the morning, they prance over to me, they shake themselves, sneeze, wag their tails until they're practically spinning, collars jingling like crazy, run outside, run back in, wag fest again, more prancing and clicky nails, GIVEMEAFRIGGINMINUTEHERE! Holy cow, it's just too much! I mean, I love the boys, but I need some time to adjust from being asleep to being awake. It's a process, dogs. Sensory overload.
Calculus? More overload.
1. He has to be arrogant, to claim he's not lying and misleading. The worst that'll happen with this approach would be (a) contempt of Congress or (b) impeachment. Even if Congress can get pissed enough to pursue one of these options, the Bush Administration's term will end before anything of consequence will happen.
But if Gonzales 'fesses up, he'll be forced to resign. There's no way even this President could keep an admitted perjurer and liar in the job of AG. And there's no way this AG, who knows where all the bodies are buried, can be allowed to leave the Justice Department right now.
2. Dogs are aliens. I have proof.
3. Um, Lorraine? They were both pretending, so they wouldn't have to get up to do anything about the racket.
4. But Calculus is so neat, at least from what I can remember. 'Sbeen a few years. But there's something about being able to figure out the volume of a donut by rotating a circle around a fixed axis that made me very, very happy.
Cowbell, kinda like the Titanic, only drier? Save me some popcorn.
Lex: Seriously, the can't admit he lied/where the bodies are buried connection? Never occured to me. Of course. And that's why Bush is so "solidly" behind him. And if Bush did cave to outside pressure and ask for his resignation there'd be nothing stopping Al from drawing a map or two, just to get his own back. Oh, it all makes sense now.
The calculus thing still not so much. Although, as you've so charmingly pointed out, it does have it's uses.
1. The truth matters not to some right now, but it will matter in the end.
2. The dog is f***ing with you.
3. They are in cahoots with the dog.
4. Is calculus used to put extra pepperoni on my pizza? No? Then let us pay it no mind.
2. dogs are crazy but i like yours
3. i can't even sleep through rain!
4. no purpose to it. it's just another device made to make us NORMAL people feel really stupid.
#2...the ghost. believe me, i know from experience.
Yes, of course - lying is lying, period. Not a political value. I'm appalled and disgusted and sad.
Riley just started growling, out of nowhere, at a sprinkler.
