Doctor: So she seems fine today. I'd like to send her home in the morning and have her begin physical therapy right away. Rick: Hey, that's great. Doctor: She'll need help. Are you indisposed during the day? Rick: Well, I write a blog... Doctor: No, I meant, do you work?

He could blog about the irregularities that the Democrats uncovered with the voting machines that kept them from winning the Presidency … oh, wait … cancel that.

Still need to find a way to reform problems with voting even though the Democrats won.

Try asking a stay-at-home mom if she works.
But give me time to leave the room before you do.

But, wait, has Rick fully digested and then regurgitated the impact of Mr. O’s re-election?

It is only important, to have fair, honest, open, transparent, elections, if you want to live in a democracy.

I never mentioned the United States.

Note that GT hasn’t incorporated the o-win yet… crafty storyline having her incapacitated to buy time to create his response… allows for a ‘real time’ storyline written in advance…

I have a friend, who is a professional musician. When someone asked him why he became a musician, he replied: " I’m too lazy to work, too proud to beg, and too chicken to steal ! "

“The United States of America was not created as a democracy. … [T]he USA will never become a democracy.”
Ever heard of the Democratic-Republican Party organized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1791?

Hey, do my comments on GoComics make me a blogger? I could add it to my resume. If I wasn’t retired, that is.

That was exactly my point: no-one should have to stand in lines that long, especially after what they’ve gone through to get the right to vote at all.

I can’t believe that after the partisanship by the Secretaries of State running elections in 2000 in FL, and 2004 in OH, that we haven’t fixed this problem. Unfortunately, as long as the people who could fix it got their positions through it, the abuse is not going away. Similar to the way that people in Congress won’t mess with the system that got them to Congress.

In St. Louis, they ask where did you go to high school?

Just tell people you’re retired. My dad’s been having to do that since he was 55 or so. (Fortunately, he got a good buyout).

gmartin997: According to Joanie’s surgeon “work” is labor for which one receives payment. For him, Rick’s labor, called “writing” — no matter how hard, no matter how good (say, Shakespeare or Dostoevsky) — isn’t “work” if Rick doesn’t receive wages or royalties or any other form of monetary remuneration.This is, of course, a stupid definition, but one that many people assume.
LWP: Well put.

“Are you indisposed during the day?” is about the oddest way of asking someone if they go out to work that I have ever heard.

You don’t suppose Guard Sarge is Ted Nugent’s user-name do you? I’m beginning to think leftwingpatriot is the user-name for some WH political operative whose job was to steer the story line and drum up support for his candidate in GoComics (that’s where it was won) and now he’s heading back to the WH for his Victory Bonus. You watch, if Barack ever runs for anything again, you know who will show up like it was yesterday with that big toothy grin, the first of a 1000 comments.
I never use to be this cynical but GoComics will do it to ya.

SkepticCal to pbarnrob: “Your support of Stalin is refreshing.”
You don’t even realize you’re misinterpreting, do you?
BE THIS GUY about 12 years ago
Since this is my last day posting on this site I feel free to say this: you’re an ignorant moron. To equate a quote with supporting the person who is quoted is the height of stupidity.If you had 2 working brain cells you would realize that by quoting Stalin pharnob was pointing out the danger computer voting represents to fair elections.
