Sister Helen Mary was a witch as you put it. A person like her had no business being the head nun. If Jesus was like her we'd all be in Hell.

Don't you have it backwards? I mean with the kissing and the faith?

I'll bet Tommy got a whipping from his mother when she got him home.

John I guess you didn't go to Catholic schoool.The make a biz out of being punitive and debasing the youth of America or at least did..That's what it's all about and in my family well older bro and I that is a big topic of debate He actually LIKED it..... Not me.
He saw the Brothers beat some boys as
after a certain grade can't rememeber the boys and girls are separated.GAWD forbid you be in the same class as a.....BOY!!
I might kiss one on the cheek.
The stories of that school could fill 100 posts and the things they did and my parents were willing participants ALWAYS on their side.
If they said it...I must be the devil.
Not really but almost!!!

Come up to meet you, Tell you I'm sorry, You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, Tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions, Aww let's go back to the start

Runnin' in circles, [sounds like] Comin' our tails, Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start

I was just guessin', At numbers and figures, Pullin' the puzzles apart

Questions of science, Science and progress, Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, Come back to haunt me, Oh when I rush to the start

Runnin' in circles, [sounds like] Chasin' our tails, Comin' back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Aww It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm goin' back to the start

Ahhooooooooooooooooo
Ahhooooooooooooooooo
Ahhooooooooooooooooo

No, I never attended a Catholic School as my parents were protestant. I did hear stories from classmates while I was in middle school about the nuns and how they meted out corporal punishment to kids who broke the rules.

As for the brothers, in our town we have a all boys school run by the brothers. The wife and I met some of the brothers when our two kids participated in an annual math contest put on by the brothers for 6th, 7th and 8th graders belonging to schools from three adjoining counties. My daughter was the winner that year for the eighth grade girls.


As I said I am not a Catholic and attended public schools. Back in the 50's teachers were allowed to lay their hands on kids who misbehaved. When I was eleven I began being bussed in to an inner city school. The kids from the City were a lot rougher than the school I had been previously attending. There was this one kid who really got under the skin of teachers. I recall my science teacher in 8th grade grabbed this kid by the throat and picked him up and pinned him against the wall. Another incident with the same kid in the locker room where my phys ed teacher picked this kid up and threw him into the lockers. Of course today teachers aren't allowed to touch kids and kids are shooting kids and making babies.

((KK)) Do you not watch Project Runway? Havn't seen you over at the PR board.

Aw TT I miss ya' too but no I haven't watched one episode... Too busy and just not into it this time..I haven't watched TV in months..I do this every now and then...I'll catch it on the reruns I guess.

Oh yeah

Gooooooooo Obamnos

Tater,

If you get the chance, watch "White Chicks" if it is ever televised in your area. The movie concerns two black FBI agents played by the Wayan brothers who disquise themselves as fashion models who are white. Project Runway could use the Wayan brothers. I watched "White Chicks" tonight for the third time.

Obewan Cainobi for president.

lol
Good night Darth

Oh I hope he wins

OK My brother just had a great idea.
Makes more sense...Why not leave on
Saturday????
Yeah why not???I can take my time then and not be on the road on Friday which is a b*tch.
I can stop whenever I want to and not worry about the Friday mess.
I LOVE hotels and room service..Aunt Carol has points for me so that is free.Holiday Inn or Marriott..I think she wants me to take the HI...lol

Justin is real sick and can't help me right now so can't get this place perfect to take the pix for rental.And I can't leave till I do that...I am so relieved...I was kinda' getting worried as no WAY we can be done by Tuesday morn if he doesn't feel better..The patio need to be really scrubbed and stuff too.
PLUS my brother can finish the room...Justin
can take Duke to Orlando Friday night so we
are legal.
I'm loading him up with Zinc and Golden
Seal a natural anti biotic.. and Vitamin C.
He refuses to go to the doc..grrrrrrrrrrrr
OK why am I talking to myself... I dunno.
I'm a narrcissit????

Nah just talking to my boardie buds.
Too bad!

My battery Walmart said is GOOD..I am so mad.
I can't get my money back.. I had the BIG manager there and everything and even had Justin fax me the Firestone paper there to prove it...No money back on batteries if good.
They checked it 3 times ...Firestone will be hearing from me if open today ..If not tomox they owe me a hundred and 6 bucks!!!

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes today.
I forgot how much I love them.

*I Miss You *
Yeah I miss many of youse .
Youtube that.....swooon

I'm going to get me some steak with ketchup.
I'm playing credit card roulette and the highest
amount wins


John If Obama doesn't win I won't be moving
to Canada....I'll be moving to Afghanistan.
Burqa's(sp ) hide all the flaws!!

John, I have noticed that movie listing on the guide while I was flipping through the channels. I never did watch it because I figured it would have a lot of rap music...I just cannot abide rap music. Maybe I will check it out now that you have mentioned it.

Steak with ketchup - me too! A couple of years ago my daughter cooked me a steak dinner and got all bent out of shape when I put ketchup on it. I asked her why is it ok for people to put A-1 steak sauce on their steak? It just so happens that I hate steak sauce and prefer ketchup. If steak sauce is so great then McDonald's would offer it for their beef burgers.

Right now Obama seems to be the frontrunner so maybe you won't have to move to Afghanistan and wear a burka. But if burkas are your thing, you might write Rachael Ray and ask if you can have hers. If she gives it to you then you can sign all your posts with 'Yummo'.

I'm sorry to hear about your son being sick. At least when he is well he helps his mom.

Good luck with your battery. Who's telling the truth? Wal-mart or Firestone?

The brothers have the runway walk down to a tee.

Another steak and ketchuper.Wooohoo mmm
We are avant garde it seems or really low class.lol

I love it...I had the T-Bone at IHOP and mmm.
Rare and with ketchup.

Yes my son is a good kid but he is a brat too and I have to be on his arse A LOT to get him motivated....Spoiled only child from HELL sometimes..BUT he was working and doon' school up until last week..so he was too busy to do most of this before now...He's in Kaiser online now so that's why we can move.

OK I called Wal-Mart and Firestone I was gonna' bring the battery to this Firestone for another check...BUT then I thought ...Wal-Mart has to have a cell check..Why didn't they do that last night??? grrrrrrrr

They only did the basic. Why didn't I think of that??? Stooonad blonde.My hair has turned blonde from swimmng and the sun sort of
And I like it..Now I can act really stupid and
get my way even more

SO I called them and they said to bring it in now and they will do it...Without the receipt which my son threw away..grrr.I might just get a store credit .. BUT I have the credit card statement or can get it ..I told her... sooo I want the money back. I'm thinking it is a bad cell. BUT we'll see. Firestone could have told me I needed an alternator if they wanted to really rip me off.
I had to come home to take ANOTHER shower it is so **%^%&^& hot out there.Sometimes in the summer I take 4 a day.lol
OK going to fight the good battery fight.

YUMMO!

My son has gotten fat (he's a member of Yelp) and refuses to do physical labor anymore. Only yesterday I asked him if he would mow the lawn when he comes home from NH for a visit(and do his laundry - quilts). My legs(knees) are really bad and it takes me two days to mow the lawn. He told me to go hire the neighbor boy. I reminded him that for years I mowed my mother's lawn(I still mow around her flower beds and shrubbery - a one hour job when I was healthy) for no pay and I am there for her whenever she needs me which is often now that she is 86 and nearly blind.

Yes, I think you will find your old stomping grounds much cooler than South Florida and if you are still too hot there is always Canada. Sorry, I mean Afghanistan - it must be cool there being up in the mountains.

Wal-mart might be lying to you to get out of replacing what they sold you - a bad battery.

lol

Oh John I think you need to tell your son to call
me...I'll get him to mow that grass and reet quick ..Or if not let him pay to have it done.
Does he live with you????

It was Firestone the bastids..They tested
at Wal-Mart and it was fine...So they switched them out at Firestone and now I have the credit on my credit for the other new battery..Shweeeew.

The mechanic said they might have done it just to be on the safe side.So I'm not gonna' scare the ex Marine. ...Semper Fi my arse!!

So now you are the owner of two new batteries?

We just got back from my son's birthday dinner at the Melting Pot which is trying to revive the 70's craze - Fondue. It took us almost 3 hours to finish our meal. The Melting Pot, the one here, used to be Hooter's which went out of business.

As I said in my post, my son is just home for a visit (and to do some laundry). He lives and works in New Hampshire.

lol to the Melting Pot we had one in Winter Park and I'm like.... No I want to EAT not dip for 30 bucks a person!

Oh sorry I misundertood about your son..But STILL!!
What part of NH???...My brother got married in New London...or right near and Lake
Sunape(sp) is probably one of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen.

They had a restaurant with a big tree growing right in the middle of it and it was gawjus and you can't stand whilst drinking at a bar
in NH. We all kept breaking the law on purpose.lol Stand or sit ..Can't rememebr but stand would make more sense.

BUT I still think NY is prettier in general.We fight about that all the time too.lol..My older brother is in LOVE with NH and really wants
to live there for YEARS but the family won't go.
Once my brother rented a house for a month there and took my mother.. Well she would call us whispering *Get me out of here*.lol
It wasn't hermetically sealed and perfect.
My brother sleeps in tents in Africa....Mum likes the Raddison..THAT caused a family feud for years!!!
We believed her how bad it was as we know what he considers nice... and he swears it was nice....And it probably was..BUT not nice enough for mum.
Poor guy was trying so hard..But she sounded like she was being kept in a torture camp..AND of course the hottest heat wave ever to strike happened that week.So my poor brother had to drive her around for hours every day as no a/c there. . Oh what a nightmare that was.
WHAT a family vacation.

Oh and

No
Firestone kept the shyster battery!!!
How dare they????

Ok nobody home but

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PSH!!!!!
Finally .......I was running out of free fake gifts.

Well yeah..ummmmm
I could say many things here.but I think
I'll just let the picture speak for itself.
You my pixie man who flits like there is no tomox and cooks like there is one and sings like a star!!!

Shiny happy all day darlin and NOT too much beer.

I have a pin for ya to pop it.lol

My son lives in Londonderry and works in nearby Manchester.

I agree with you on the Melting Pot - ok if you are on a date. Now my son wants his mom to drag out the fondue when Christmas rolls around. Haven't had fondue at home since the 1970's when the wife had a circle of friends - they have since moved away.

Not everyone is ok with no AC in hot weather and simple accommodations. Once you have AC you can't live without it.

I have a bias for NY too as I have lived here for most of my life. NY has the ocean in the south and the mts in the north and lakes, lots of lakes.

Getting back to your move to Pearl River you're going to be in great shape. Close to NY City yet out where there is green and fresh air.

John No one more than I or me
(ouch don't know AI I'm gonna' keeel you )

understands how confusing this all is
because it is to me.lol
BUT I'm not moving to PR...My brother is I HOPE!!..And soon...How dare he stay in his own house????

Actually he said he was excited we were coming and it will be good for my son.. he needs a man to keep him in line and I can help with his daughters and he can COOK.....Like..REALLY!
I'll be about 15 minutes above PR.

Sumpthin' like that depending on how fast
I drive which after the last tix.....I got a
reprieve 3 times before the 102 mph one
I better slow down...Like WAY!!
Which brings us to


Groovin' on a Monday mornin'


For River!!
She put the Funk in the Gar for me again.
I like Garfunkel better than Simon actually.
A voice of spun silk he has.

Hajar wrote this on the FO board
Man I just love being talked around as if I don't post. I was asked to spill and didn't quite like what you got perhaps? It wasn't a ''whoopsie'' or a glitch but someone's life on the line. So sorry to have bothered you all. I will keep reading to see how some of you are doing but think posting is perhaps not the best idea. Granted, I know in some situations that people don't always know what to say while others do or at least try to.

Big blessings and sincere thanks for those who cared for my plight.

Be Well All
Hajar, I went over to FO board and saw the above. Since I don't post on that board, I brought it over here where people do respond. My response is this. I don't know the story. My understanding from what I read is this. You're here in the U.S. because of something family related. Your Morracan husband couldn't come with you for some reason. You were going back to Morroco in late June/early July to join him, but something happened and you couldn't. He's trying to get out of Spain now to go somewhere (can't figure out from the posts) but for some reason he's having problems(leaving Spain?) Does this sum it up? I don't know, but since he's married to you an american citizen, he shouldn't have any problems(or am I just being naive) I would just contact the state department I think they have departments in all major cities. and get their help. would be a lot less scarier. and it always helps to have those in the know handle that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure that as a wife, you can also be his "sponser". Anyway, I may(as my brother works in immigration) or others may be able to give you some advise if we know the whole story, but either I missed it or it was never posted, so we can't. And if he's on some boat already it may be a moot point. So if I can be of assistance, let me know.

KK, I tried to go to your flikr link.,but couldn't get it, says it's not available. what's up?

I don't know what the hell I did wrong.
Oooops I did it again!!


Here

I swear to GAWD I am the WORST at pix.lol
I have them everywhere still and never know where to find them on my computer.
I was a stoooonad when I first tried it and didn't know about files and such. Now I know..but my son won't take the time to help me as he is a bad teacher.
He gets ferklempt!!!
Ow he makes me so mad.
AND I am a bad scanner it seems..I made mistakes from hell and doubles..Oh well.
Can't cook...MUCH stuff... sew or do pix or
can anything(like who does in 2008??? )
Nobody will ever want to marry me.lol

Somehow I got the idea that you were going to live with your brother. It does seem like a good idea even if you say it isn't so.

I have never been to any of the Simon and Garfunkel concerts despite having collected their songs since the 1960's. Of the two I always thought that Simon was the lead singer but Garfunkel surprised me with his rendition of 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters'.

102 mph - were you sober or do you just like to drive fast? I've gotten some memorable tickets but the highest speed I was written up for was 76mph in a 65 mph freeway. I did get out of one ticket in my long driving career - This was on the Massachusetts Turnpike when I was driving my family to a youth hockey tournament in Rhode Island. I had a cold and was sneezing constantly. We were just topping a small rise when I sneezed with my body going forward and my foot hitting the gas pedal harder. Wouldn't you know it but right on the other side of the rise was a Massachusetts state trooper. This was a memorable incident because the trooper was a woman and a very attractive one too. I told her that I had sped up involuntarily because I sneezed. She said "I've heard that one before" but I bet she hadn't. In any case, she let me off with a warning, whether she believed my story or the fact that I had my family in the car I don't really know.

When it comes to computers I seem to have a mental block. The same with digital cameras. Both the computers and the digital cameras were given to the wife and me by my son who is a whiz at both. He's spends much of his money on both computers and digital cameras. One of these days he is going to have to educate the wife and me on both - we are both computer illiterates. When that happens the first thing I am going to do is put up an avatar - not of me, of course. I'm too old and ugly but of my children, Mandy, Bug, Sheila, Buddy, and Moe. Mandy is my Siamese; Bug is my calico 'mutt'; Sheila is my tortie siamese mix, Buddy is my Ragdoll who thinks he is a dog, and Moe is my Silvertip Chincilla Persian who looks funny with a haircut in summer and is really cute.

But hey, you put up pictures when it counted. I am talking polish sausage.

Did you say Polish sawasage?????

Yes John I'm going to live with the brother but he is supposed to get married and move out leaving me the whole house and right now he's in *negotiations* with the fiancé' and that may take awhile so for now I get the downstairs.
They've been in negotiations for 4 years.lol
I godda give him credit... he is staying the course and refuses to give up on her as he loves her very much.We are a tenacious group we are.
Must be the Sicilian
I can tell you how to get an avatar if you like but it won't be your pic of course.If you want anything else let me know and I'll get the link and tell you how to do it.Avatars are a hobby of mine!!!
I'm eating Indian food...mmmmm I dunno' know what the hell it is but it good.

BTW ....Bison is really good.
Have you tried it????
I LOVED it and want more.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

That is so funny.

You might have been in my comedy traffic school class..OHMG the excuses they gave!
Mine was..ummmmmm.. I didn't know..My car can do a hundred and you feel like it's 50 it's so smooth.....It really is a hot car.
White sunroof and all performance.
Like a BMW really.
My dad was in heaven before he died and went to heaven...Good for him. He was the envy of all the Tylenol pill shaped car drivers!!

Ow the old peeps drive bad here.
The place is crawling with them

No time to weed through it but some good stuff.
Sorry to be ON topic!!

If you are referring to your Nissan Maxima, you ain't fibbing. There was time I had to get to a conference in Saratoga and my car was in the shop. I was on good terms with my neighbor across the street who let me borrow his Maxima. Geez, I couldn't believe all the bells and whistles that car had. We were like Michael Knight and his talking car. Anyway, I am traveling north up the Northway when I suddenly realize how fast I am doing - like 85 and it feels like 65. So Yeah, I believe you when you say you drive a hot car.

I would like to think that I don't drive like one of those old peeps yet although I am an old peep (fart). Probably a lot of those retirees you refer to are from NY state. (Probably vote in both states too)

lol

I can't remember but I know I was going faster and he made it go down a bit...The tix was 300 bucks...I was racing to take a friend to the dox..They called and said the appt. had changed..So like an idiot..........
They did pay the tix though.
I'm taking a break and reading one of my all time fave books...Cyrano De Bergeac
Oww how I love this book..play and movie and the story of the real Cyrano's life is fascinating.

On my grave stone...if I have one....as I 'm gonna' live forever remember..I would have
either :

*Don't let it bring you down it's only castles burning*

Neil Young


OR

The last few lines line of this play/book.
Swooooon.if they can fit it..lol
And some quotes to take the breath away..reet quick..Read this to your wife tonight John and you may get apple pie with ice cream.
Wimmin love the romance we do...lol
Nothing nicer than guy who reads to you.



You take everything, the laurel and the rose, too! Go on, take them! But, in spite of you, one thing goes with me now And tonight, when I, at last, God behold
My salute will sweep his blue threshold with something spotless -- A diamond in the ash which I take in spite of you -- And that's My panache.




Sometimes, bemused by the night,
I see far off in the silver light
A lady on the arm of her knight.
I dream of walking out in the silver glow
With a lady so.
I get carried away,
I pray.
I forget all,
Then see my shadow on the wall. Sing, dream, laugh, move on, be alone, have a choice,
Have a watchful eye and a powerful voice.
Wear my hat awry, fight for a poem if I like and perhaps even die.
Never care about fame or fortune and even travel to the moon.
Triumph by chance on my own merit.
Refuse to be the clinging ivy nor even the oak or the lime.
Perhaps I'll not get far, but I'll get there alone.

In your presence confusion grips my heart.
My tongue is in a fetter.
If kisses could be sent by letter
You could read my words with your lips. I'm leaving now. Sorry, I can wait no longer.
See? The moon beam is here at my door.
No one must help me. Only the trees. He's coming.
I feel myself shod in marble. Gloved in lead.
As he's on his way, I shall go to meet him sword in hand!
What? It's useless? I know. A man doesn't fight to win.
It's better when the fight is in vain.

Who are they all? There's a hoard of them. Ah, I know you.
All my old enemies! Falsehood. Cowardice. Compromise.
I know you'll get the upper hand.
Never mind. I'll fight on, and on, and on!

Roxanne, Roxanne. Cyrano DeBergerac was a tear jerker. I read the book (I think it was one of the Classics Illustrated comics) and saw the 1950 film version starring Jose Ferrer on tv.

I'm not one for romantic literature. I read a lot of historical novels - fiction based on historical events.

I just finished a book by Richard S Wheeler relating the life of William Barclay Masterson or Bat Masterson as he was popularly called. Masterson was a lawman in the old West and when his days as a sheriff and US marshall were over he became a writer for the NY Times.

My favorite series of books were written by Bernard Cornwall ( a Massachusetts resident) who wrote historical novels occurring in England from the time of King Arthur to the Napoleonic Wars. I have the complete set of books that feature Richard Sharpe, a soldier in his majesty's army, who rose through the ranks while fighting in India and in Europe. The adventures of Richard Sharpe have been televised in a mini-series starring Sean Bean and our very own Padma Lakshmi in one of the episodes. The series has aired on PBS. I missed seeing it in my area.

In getting your ticket reduced did you break down in tears? That's what one of my wife's co-workers did after the police stopped her for doing 50 mph in a 30 mph zone. He let her go. She must have been really pitiful.

Oh I was crying...Nah but almost for real.
I was a bit upset...and I begged..I have no dignity.
I couldn't believe it as I really didn't even know I was going that fast and at the comedy class they actually made me wear a crown!!!

BUT I had actually gotten three warnings
before lol...I knew I was gonna get it
eventually.

The books sound great really..But I'd rather watch my history than read it at times.
Or go to it......But I think I've been through a *period* with all books.

So we go Police then??
I have a problem with wealthy rock stars who spend exorbitant amounts of money and try to save the world and feed the peeps.I just don't get it....I mean

How many houses do you need Sting?????

BUT he /they are surely spilling over with much talent.

No, I have never eaten Bison but would try it if offered it. I understand that it is better for you than meat from cattle. I saw some Bison when we toured Yellowstone national park.

We'll hold off on the avatar for now but it may come down to you doing it for me if my son doesn't come through.

Four years is a long time. But then my Uncle, the one who lives in Gladwyne, went with my aunt for 7 years before they got married. I'll never forget that reception held in the Waldolf-Astoria in NY City. They had these little potato balls... and then when my uncle's oldest daughter got married the reception was on one of the excursion boats(the Minnie Ha-Ha) that tour Lake George. There was a band, dancing and lots of liquor. My uncle's family knew how to throw a reception.

Sicilians are interesting people. The wife of my best friend (have known him since we were in 8th grade) is half-German, half Sicilian...looks like Linda Ferrantino. They just got back from Sicily last spring visiting her relatives. Then I got to meet these same Sicilians when they came to visit at my friend's house this past summer.

Just as well that you are getting the downstairs. Who likes to climb stairs?

Three out of four - that's a pretty good batting average. Here in NY the cops may be a little tougher than in Florida. I think they have a quota system for handing out tickets. My son who drives too fast, has all these police benevolent association stickers on his car - NY and New Hampshire. I don't know how much that helps if stopped for speeding.
As for the Police, I am way beyond following the MTV circuit. Didn't the Police do a remake of Elvis' "Don't Be Cruel"?

I read a lot of books and have done so as soon as I was old enough to read. Now that it is summer and it is mostly reruns on tv, I read more than I watch tv. Reading a book is how I fall asleep at night.

Hey, Cheney is a useful guy. He's kept Bush alive as no one wants to assasinate Bush because they know who would take over the Oval Office.

He's a good CEO too. He got all those no bid contracts for Halliburton when Bill Clinton was president, even the ones in Iraq in the year 2000 - Better Halliburton than Red China.

Manny will be Manny and Obama will be Obama plus Obama sucks at bowling (my sport). Obama shot a 32 on national tv, a record low even among junior bowlers(I shot 103 in my very first attempt at bowling). Next time Obama picks up a bowling ball, the desk should set up the alleys for bumper bowling. If Obama can't keep a bowling ball out of the gutter, how is he going to do the opening pitch in the world series - if there were a batter(there isn't) he'd probably bean the guy.

We be on the same page with regards to the Yankees. It was my left wing uncle who first alerted me to Obama. I cautiously told my uncle that the guy was charismatic, but that was before Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko, Louis Farakan and William Ayrers.

Have you ever read the Frontiersman? It's a great historical novel about Simon Kenton, aka Simon Butler aka Simon Miller. It mostly takes place here in Ohio, but other states also. Time frame 1800's. Great book! Sorry to interrupt this private thing you two go going on

Probably not. Who is the author? The Ohio River was one of the gateways to the west.

I know about Donner's Pass and the Donner party who got caught there during the winter and turned to cannibalism by surviving members to stay alive.

Top Henhouse:
I don't know what's going on among the female community on the other board but I try and stay out of it. It seems that every year when Top Chef is not being aired, past transgressions, imagined or otherwise, bubble to the surface and the board becomes a war zone. If it were me involved in one of the squabbles I'd just sign off until the next installment of Top Chef aired.

I totally agree with this...and it deserves repeating.

Politics will probably dominate these boards after Labor Day.

What's hurricane money? Is that money doled out by the Federal Govt to victims of hurricanes?

Tater.... if you haven't done this check this out"gone Campigning"...it will make you laugh...

Tater if the link I tried to insert does not work the site is JIBJAB .com.....the guys there do really funny political stuff.

Will check it out, Ford.

KK..He doesn't look white at all to me. He does have a strong resemblance to Curious George...IMO. I'm not saying that to piss you or anyone off...but I have listened to much worse about Bush for a very long time. So, in case he gets elected, you might as well get used to hearing all the BS that is bound to ensue. However, I do not care what color he is....I do not approve of the company he keeps (birds of a feather, ya know) and I do not believe in fraternizing with hostile insane leaders...such as Ahmadinajad (sp). *****ducking my head and running for cover******
