Yeah. That's why they called themselves the PNAC.

"Project for a New American Century."

They believed this would cement America's supremacy well into the new millennium. MAN did they call this one wrong.

I could watch this again and again and again!

But not without a box of Kleenex. I literally start crying with laughter after about 1:07!

I forgot the last word from the videographer here til I went back and dug up the clip.

"God don't like ugly. God do not like ugly."

Hilarious!!! Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

In honor of that "other" flag, please enjoy this. The payoff is absolutely exquisite!!!

Funniest Confederate flag "parade" I've ever seen!

Watch the video, all the way through.

Post from June 29th, 2015. Almost exactly two years ago. But still as sweet and delicious as ever!

Yeah, I thought about that, too.

Because if he were terminally ill and knew he just had a few weeks left, and his conscience started to bother him, maybe he would reach out like this.

Consider, too, that this fellow spent a lifetime involved in sneaking around, oppositional research, dirty tricks, initiating (or trying to initiate) some underhanded strategies and tactics. A lifetime! At the highest levels, evidently. Maybe his conscience was starting to bother him? While perhaps starting to feel the cold breath of the Grim Reaper getting closer?

Atwater did it, definitely. Knew his cancer was taking him down for the last time, and called Michael Dukakis to his deathbed to offer an apology, in an attempt to clean up a little before headin' on out.

I suppose anything's possible. But then again, I still feel Ken Lay's untimely death was a little fishy in its own timeliness. He was about to face real-life prison time. And BOOM! Out he goes. Gee... that's a pretty convenient "saved by the bell." But he's never turned up in all this time since - at least that we know of.

Welcome to DU, Gymbo!

His activities before getting into politics were evidently - um - shall we say - a little "colorful"?

You really get a clear idea of how he did business as a real estate wheeler-dealer, 'eh?

Sure sounds like it! BRAVO to him for a superb letter!

My governor (Jerry Brown) is another awesome example. I've loved, admired, and respected Jerry Brown since the first time he was a two-termer, here in California, back in the mid-70's. I'd vote for him for a THIRD set of two terms if that was at all possible. He will rock, in my view, til he drops.

I grow more proud of you by the day!

And more impressed with your accomplishments by the hour!

June 30, 2017

So am I.

Impeachment, REMOVAL, and then let the prosecutions begin!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
