I saw the vid of this, it was hilarious. They hustled her to her limo, she lost a shoe in the process and finally they stuffed her in, butt first.
More of that please.

THIS I had not seen. What a scream, and so perfect.

Maybe Florida itself implodes…? More? Again? This feels like a DVD with an alternative ending included: See what happens when the R playlist fails to gel with the public. Or, not gel predictably…

NOW there is a report surfacing, I think from the blonde the captain was seen with, he ordered dinner after the crash.

I peek out a window sometimes and contemplate the world… and I think I probably get a look on my face like the dog above. I have a soft spot for this one too, I only figured the face out by finding the nose.
What is next. No matter who goes in in 2012, it’s going to b a free for all out of DC. Engines firing, guns ablaze, bombs at the ready. A slasher war movie. No medics.
The USA!!! USA!!! is a battlespace too. And all of us are potential enemy combatants.

BTW, in case you are in need of a laugh (and who would turn one down these days?) this morning on the NBC debate David Gregory asked Santorum why, if we live with a nuclear NKorea, a nuclear Pakistan and so on, why can we not live with a nuclear Iran.
His answer – and remember this is Santorum, loonatick xtian:
Iran is a THEOCRACY and believes in an afterlife better than life on earth.
Rapture anyone?

Be interesting to watch and see, if 2012 isn’t just a year of the protest and protester, but a full frontal face-off.
