Gee David, I guess it takes one to know one.

1. I dunno if it takes one to know one, coz cons ARE MFing sleazeballs

and I'm not a rightwingnut MFing sleazeball conservative.

But Brooks is.

3. OT, but how was your trip, and are you 'home'? nt

[LynnTheDem]

5. The trip was great!

Good weather all the way, sneaked thru the Oregon mountain passes the day after & the day before major storms :D Had a blast at my California pal Pat's place, did my first anti-invasion vigil. And yep I am now HOME! :) :) :)

And is it ever FANTABULOUS to be in a country where the vast majority of people know the facts & think bush is exactly the stupid ignorant evil nasty belligerant little MFing son of a bitch that he is. :)

7. Glad the trip went well, glad you're home, and I'm

still in Texas and green with envy! :hi:

[LynnTheDem]

8. I do miss one thing...

Slim Fast Optima almond-toffee-praline meal bars. They don't make them here. :cry:

But other than that, I'm damn glad to be outta there! :)

I've got my eye on an apartment here (the one I'm in is temporary); ocean & mountain views (even has maid service, lol!). How's that for a future DU SafeHouse! :D

[babylonsister]

9. Sounds great! I'll bring the

Slim Fast Optima almond-toffee-praline meal bars! :thumbsup:

Seriously, if you start seriously jonesing for those bars, I'd
be happy to mail you some!

[LynnTheDem]

10. Hey PERFECT! That'll be the safehouse rent.

:D

Thanks, babylonsister! I have a pal in California who's airmailed a few boxes to me, so I'll be set for a few weeks.

What would you like in return for when I run out & start climbing walls for a fix? Cream honey is the exchange price for my California pal, lol!

:hug:

Hey! We should set up a DU Food & Choccie Exchange Program! :D :D :D

[babylonsister]

11. If you moved where I think you did,

I'll think about it and get back to you! :smoke:

2. Cmom Dave tell me something I don't know

Fascist fundie assholes pretending to be conservatives have always been sleazeballs and cocksucking scumbags IMO.

[Mr_Spock]

4. Brooks is another conservative columnist who's had enough

This is good to see - about time some folks decide to tall the truth for a change...

[hatrack]

6. Brooks - "I saw the light - and it only took FIVE YEARS"

Fucking asshat.

[Supersedeas]

13. Exactly - now, he decides to remove the purple bandaid in disgust

[catmandu57]

12. I bet he'll be toting their water Friday night

on the news hour. He's a big reason I turned the newshour off.
