And Then There Were 17

GOP Debate

 

At least eight of the positions are confirmed, but the last two to move up from the kid’s table to the main arena is still to be decided.  So far it looks like Christie and Kasich are movin’ on up while happy hour will feature Perry.  Lindsey Graham has recommended that we assume it’s 5:00 somewhere and start drinking early so we don’t care what the main event does.

    Now, this is news. From our local party in South Carolina:

    “You don’t want to miss the Richland County Democratic Party’s August Breakfast on Saturday, August 22! I just received confirmation that James Carville will be our special guest. That’s right—the one and only James Carville. It just so happens that he will be in the Palmetto state on behalf of the Hillary for America campaign and we are fortunate enough to have him as our breakfast speaker.”

    For those who have a fondness for The Economist, there’s a really interesting feature about it on page one of the Business Section of today’s NYT. On the same page you can also learn more than you ever wanted to know about ‘Happy Birthday’

    Jamie, sorry for the bandwidth violation above, but sometimes it takes a little extra to get a point across.

      Pogo, Bandwidth be damned. Your thoughts about anything are more than worth the space even if it involves LP’s scores and guitars .. 🙂

    ” Stock up on beverages and …” Jamie, I need your permission. As an exception to policy, while adult beverages are hardly appropriate for an event of tonight’s magnitude, they are essential for my well-being. Please, oh, please…

      Flatus, Given the probable content of the show, I will do my best to remain conscious for the main event but it isn’t all that likely as I’m sure to be waylaid by one or more phrases to chug a lug.

About Me

Retired great grandmother living in the Northwest US. Former radio Public Service Director and National Accounts Manager.

I’m a hair-dishevelled heilan’ coo,
Hamish McKay be ma name;
Welcome tae this dreichet glen
I’m cursed tae ca’ ma hame.
Depending on the mood I’m in
I’ll raise ma horns on high,
An’ if I like the look o’ ye
I’ll likely let ye by.
But should I dinnae like the look
O’ ye, then tak great care,
I’ll raise ma horns on high again,
Go on, get oot o’there!
So whether welcome yae or nae,
I’ll raise these horns sae mean,
Then ye shall ken ma meaning
By the twinkle o’ ma een.
