Rick: Feeling better today? Joanie: Much. Check out the flowers. Rick: Nice. Who sent them? Joanie: Jeff. Rick: Jeff? Our Jeff? Are you sure? Joanie: Yup. Came with a card. Rick: Wonder what he's up to. Joanie: Got me. I mean, I did have surgery, but that can't be it.

Don’t worry gang, the bouquet is just Jeff’s selfless way of letting Mom know he can’t wait to assist her with her in-home physical therapy, thus freeing up Dad to do his blog for HuffPo.

So they automatically have to suspect his motives for sending flowers? Aww. Hey— where is everybody? The election is over but stuff is just beginning.

They (Elizebeth Warren) won, now everyone will forget all about her and what she did. The election is over.

Ironic, isn’t it, that even Joanie questions Jeff’s motives ? Even she knows the flowers weren’t an altruistic gift.

Waiting for Warren’s bouquet, also!

Go ahead and satirize Gov Christie. It would be a shame, the man did NOT want to run for POTUS and is doing the work of his life right now.

If I were GT, I’d do a “Red Rascal Dawn” sequence and send Jeff to North Korea.

Hillary’s second term won’t be over until 2024, though.
DylanThomas3.14159 almost 12 years ago
Hillary is 65, Warren 63. A Dem primary battle between those two would be interesting. A compromise — say Hillary nominated for President and choosing Warren as her VP to challenge the GOP ticket — would also be interesting.

Go to
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/9667153/Pen-in-hand-Obama-warns-people-like-me-must-face-tax-hikes.html
to see Obama with that kick-butt look on his face. He’s won re-election, and he’s gonna get tough on Tea Partiers in Congress.
For instance, he’s going to go to the American people to threaten the Partiers into accepting the end of the Bush tax cuts for the super-wealthy.
GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell and GOP House Speaker John Boehner have both made defiant statements holding the line on keeping this $$ in the hands of the “job creators”.
This is a joke, though, since the mega-corporations don’t create jobs, they export them to China, India and elsewhere. It is the LITTLE businesses that give jobs to people.
Obama has a mandate fro the American-people, and he’s gonna kiiiiick buuuuutt.

I was just listening to Counterspin on Fair.org (very interesting program I highly recommend) and they pointed out how the Corporate Media, which claimed Bush’s razor-thin ‘victory’ gave him a clear mandate, now claim Obama has none. Possibly because he didn’t get the angry white male vote.

… the angry over-40 white male vote.

“…she would pull the Native American vote…”
Would she? Have they embraced her despite the lack of documentation of her having some Cherokee ancestry?

So, Joannie had a hip replacement? My brother had both of his done and wasn’t in the hospital longer than two days. He’d been in a lot of pain, and after the operation, said he never felt better in his life. Does heavy duty mountain biking, and he’s 69 years old.
