Let's hope Carly Fiorina does for McCain what she did for Hewlett-Packard.

I remember her now.

I'm compelled to mention Bush's hilarious pledge to cut the deficit in half at the end of his first term.  The deficit didn't even exist until he got in office.

If you elect a republican, you get big deficits no matter what.  (Note:  "no matter what" refers to reality, not to conservative fantasies.)

I wonder if John McCain's budget is going to incluse the war(s?). After all, Bush doesn't include war spending in his budget. Why do I get the feeling McCain would do the same?

He can't put war in the budget, my friends. If elected, he'd have to take untold numbers of walks through Baghdad marketplaces so extra soldier guards and apache helicopters don't count in the budget either. And future wars can't count towards the deficit. If you don't count any real government spending, McCain might be able to record a balanced budget by the time he leaves office, my friends.

Issuing a tax cut is not spending by the govt. Letting Americans keep more of the money they earn is not spending by the govt. Although misguided he is on the right track...spending by the federal govt. is sure as hell the problem.

Clinton's first budget produced expenditures of $1.5 trillion to operate the federal govt...Pres.Bush's last budget estimates $3.1 trillion to operate the federal govt.

Republicans and democrats alike have spent insanely...and that is the problem. The US economy produces ample revenue to satisfy liberal social engineering programs and conservative tax cuts...if done responsibly.

What an oxymoron...responsible spending by the current crop of republican and democrat congressman. Forget the smoke screen of the bogus arguments about who should receive tax cuts...it's the spending, stupid.

Spoken by someone who thinks trickle-down is Gospel. Haven't you let them trickle on you enough yet? 

it seems mmfa has a list of 100 questions that are supposed to be asked, and if they miss one, they jump on it.  this is most unprofessional

iraq is going so well, the dems are like those japanese soldiers in the pacific islands that fought the war for 40 years after the war had ended.

Iraq going well? When do you plan on spending your vacation there? I hear it's real nice there in August.

Humm, no captitals, a hard grasp on absurdity, someone has a new posting name.

I think this is hisybuff's newest incarnation.

oh my, i haven't been on in three weeks.  you really are like the japanese in the jungle.  very sick people.

oh my, bet you were in the jungle with the Japanese, right? Did you know Toyo Rose?

Iva Toguri?  No, did not know her.  UCLA grad, Jefferson H.S., did not make her acquaintence.  I believe she eventually joined her family in Chicago.  Died there.  what is your point.

Yeah, I think this is our name dropping friend.

I think you're right.  Wait, we'll hear about how he knows the person who invented fire next.

No I've just got this twinge in my left clavicle whenever there's a rain of toads occuring somewhere in the world.

I was at a Quinceañera in Baldwin Park recently, for the daughter of a lower-level official of the Mexican embassy.

 As I reached to refill my horchata, I bumped into Cruz Bustamante.Cruz told me a couple of crude Irish jokes, then, perhaps a bit loosened up with drink, mentioned he had recently gone kayaking in Belize with Sands90210.

I'll leave out some of the more picaresque details, but suffice to say, Sands seems to cry under pressure.  

hey, dummy, if you are gonna use a 25 cent word like picaresque, find out what it means.  it certainly does not mean what you think it does.

as for cruz bustamante, he could not fit into a kayak.

You're too funny. Ignorant but funny.

Here's a link that may help you understand that picaresque means precisely what I know it does. Between me and Bill O'Reilly, imbeciles are going to be learning all sorts of new words.

precisely, you used the word incorrectly.  you were thinking of picturesque, perhaps.

i don't use capitals, not because i'm like archie, but because if i inadvertently hit a key near the shift, it sends me back to the beginning.

in 2000, at the celebracion de california, at the natural history museum of los angeles county, i was tasked with presenting an award to bustamante.  it was attached to a ribbon.  he warned me that he had a 26 inch neck.  no way he could get into a kayak.

We're all aware of your many exploits and various missions in life, but with the last few posts, I've got to ask, were you ever a nun in a Catholic school?

I haven't seen such petty, derisive criticism since the eighth grade when Sister Mary HSTYBUF6553 graded my English exam.

I left out some of the more "picturesque" details...

Nah, that doesn't really work for me. Doesn't convey at all the idea I had in mind, actually doesn't make sense. Sandsybuff, I think you may  be confusing the two words.

he warned me that he had a 26 inch neck.  no way he could get into a kayak.

And you may be thinking of a cravat (pictured below).If your neck size has ever affected your ability to get into a kayak, you were getting into it in as ass-backwards a manner as you get into discussions here.

 

let's just say he was rotund.  i think he may have had bariatric stapling since then.

Your use of "rotund" was perfect. Good work. From this point forward, you'll be able to use "picaresque" and "kayak" with the same ease and effectiveness.

Colonel, are you trying to say "that which we call a HSTYBUF6553

By any other name would still sounds batschit crazy"?

Same batsh*t in a new and unimproved package.

"...Is that an accurate number?"
"No. I don't know where he gets those numbers."

Which is it: "no"; or "I don't know"?

If she doesn't know "where he gets those numbers", she doesn't know whether it's an accurate number or not, does she?
