My sincerest condolences and my deepest sympathy to you and yours.

Good.  He was getting bitchy.  hehehe.

14 Joncelli,

I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing.  Thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.  I lost my own mother a year and a half ago.  Black Orchid is right...it takes forever to come to terms with it.  I'm still profoundly affected.  Moronette {hugs} to you.

It's been a little slow for the last 16 hours or so.  Pretty sure it's cyclical rather than structural.  The actual smart and entertaining cobloggers will be back soon.

32 Wow....too much mom death in this thread already.

Still, thoughts and prayers.  Hope peace is found in the upward travels of the lost parent.

33

Can I just say this about Bachmann and Wallace?  Wallace should never have asked her such a question.

Let me lend some perspective:

"Mr. Wallace, many of your detractors from the unhinged anti-Fox wing of the loony bin have stated repeatedly that you are a pedophile.  Well, Chris?  Are you indeed a pedophile?"

Would this at any time be an appropriate question to ask?  Yet, it has the same tone, the same meaning, and the same resonance as the one he asked her.  Taking the smears of someone's opponents and couching them in the context of a serious news interview-- that's something you would expect the Nutroots to do to Breitbart.

I think Bachmann's non-acceptance of the apology sets the tone for her as nobody's media punching bag.  There is nothing wrong with demanding respect the first time rather than allowing the venomous leftist MFM to get in a free shot before kissing and making up.

Yes.  Our boy had been at boot camp one week.  He was allowed to speak with my husband for a few minutes, and couldn't attend the funeral.

My mom had been sick with heart problems her whole life, but her death was due to a choking accident and totally unexpected. 

I had kind of a delayed grief months later.  Still can't deal with it. 

47 joncelli and Berserker, my condolences to you both.  May your mothers rest in peace.

48 ""Berserker, my condolences. The whole idea still hasn't sunk in yet for me so I know where you are.""

All I can say is this. They are indeed in a better place. The night she died I asked her for a sign that she was ok. She gave me one. She somehow took away a nagging pinched nerve ailment thats been screwing with me for 5 months. I have been pain free for 3 days in a way I haven't felt in months. Not sure what she did or how, but she sent the signal....no pain.

49 Condolences to joncelli and beserker.

The same from me.

50 Okay.  Off to Wal-Mart.  Gag.  Will report any interesting "sightings."

It's part of the entertainment package that Wally World provides.  It's for your shopping ambience. 

52 Jane, I can relate.  I still can't deal with it either, even though you are forced to.  Not one single day goes by without my mind on her.  I haven't been the same since.

As for your mom's passing...the exact same thing happened to my beloved grandmother.  She had health problems at age 86, but was still pulling her own.  Then one morning at the breakfast table, she choked on her breakfast.  Oxygen loss put her into a coma, then onto life support and then gone. 

53 ah jeez,  I have a feeling that Bachmann's "flake" interview is about to be replaced by her John Wayne Gacy gaffe.

54 Condolences, joncelli and berserker.  It has been almost a year since my father passed away - nothing ever fills the hole in your heart, but time has a way of healing the hurt, and bringing back fond memories from the deep recesses of your mind.

55 51 Okay.  Off to Wal-Mart.  Gag.  Will report any interesting "sightings."
You know, I defend Wal-Mart in principle from liberal buys-bodies, but I do like the ambience much better at Target. Mencken quote is great, by the way.

56 For all who are separated from loved ones who have fallen asleep:

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

57 This is my favorite Mom Poem This is for all the mothers who froze their buns off on metal bleachers at soccer games instead of watching from cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see my goal?" They could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it. This is for all the mothers who have sat up all night with sick children in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Meyer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here." This is for all the mothers of Kosovo who fled in the night and can't find their children. This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see and for the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes. For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes and for all the mothers who don't. What makes a good mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time? Or is it heart? Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time? The jolt that takes you from sleeping to dread, from bed to crib at 2 a.m. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby? Is it the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a school shooting, a fire, a car accident, a baby dying? I think so. So this is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and explained all about making babies. And for all the mothers who wanted to but just couldn't. This is for reading "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year. And then reading it again, "Just one more time". This is for all the mothers who mess up. Who yell at their kids in grocery store and swat them in despair and stomp their feet like a tired two year old who wants ice cream before dinner. This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started to school and for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead. For all the mothers who bite their lips (sometimes until they bleed) when their 14 year olds dyed their hair green. This is for all the mothers who lock themselves in the bathroom when babies keep crying and won't stop. This is for all mothers who show at work with spit-up in their hair and milkstains on their blouses and diapers in their purse. This is for mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot. This is for all mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home or are grown. This is for mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves. This is for all the mothers whose children have gone astray and who can't find words to reach them. This is for all the mothers who sent their child to school with a stomach ache, assuring that they would be just FINE once they got there, only to get a call from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up right away. This is for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation. And mature mothers learning to let go. For working moms and stay-at-home moms. Single mothers and married mothers. Mothers with money and mothers without. This is for you, so hang in there. The world would be a terrible place without the love of mothers everywhere. You make it a more civil, caring and safe place for the precious children in our world.

58 My condolences to both Berserker and Joncelli.  Losing a parent is hard. 

59 I've spent the last 12 hours waiting for a flight.  Three flights that I was manifested for have all been cancelled.  If I don't get on the next one in six hours, then I get to show up tomorrow at 1900 and take my chances on space-a.  FML.

Wal-Mart used to be where you'd go to pick up cheap t-shirts, socks, and all that kinda stuff (NEVER buy the food there:  EVER).

Now, it's a source of endless humor.  The best analogy is flies to poop.  Or poop to poop, not sure which.  Every trip I make to wallyworld (about 2 times a year) the patrons appear to get fatter, dumber, and uglier.

78 the best part about wallyworld is taking a tour of the food area.  It's like a trip to the zoo:

"On the right we have the Great White Killer Whale with 8 of it's spawn and 4 shopping cards filled with Doritos and Mountain Dew. 

On the left we have the Spandex Covered African Elephant with 4 spawn and 40 packages of hot dogs. 

Please keep your hands and feet behind the protective cage."

79 I find the women at Walmart to be generally attractive but I tend not to notice anything I'm not specifically hunting for. 

So I notice the hot women and the items on my brain list of things I need and ignore everything else.

I hate shopping at all stores that don't have good tools or guns so Walmart is not as painful as many other stores are.

98 LIBYA

The first person to issue an arrest warrant for Osama Bin Laden was Muammar Qaddafi. The International Criminal Court never indicted or ordered the arrest of Bin Laden, because he had been on the payroll of the CIA and MI-6 into at least the mid-1990s. If Qaddafi ever goes on trial, one document: this Libyan INTERPOL RED NOTICE for the arrest of Bin Laden, will be an embarrassment for NATO, the ICC, and the United States.

NATO "Intern'l Judges Order Arrest Of Moammar Gadhafi" who consistently has denied having sponsored or having complicity in international terrorism.

Also, Webster Tarpley conversed with Libyans in exodus, relaying their unanimous report that the al-Qaeda/US "revolutionaries" are targeting their homes in bombing residential neighborhoods regularly between 2-4 a.m. The emigrants are not running from Gaddafi, but are escaping the US/al-Qaeda fundamentalist war against Libya.

chris wallace is a liberal.  always has been.  He just represses it better than most.  Knowing that; it made his Bill Clinton interview REALLY bizzare.  But clinton is an idiot rapist, and not too bright, so it sorta figures.

He worked for NBC, ABC, did Nightline... he's the lefty version of a RINO:  occasionally disposed to clear thought.

US Using "Mystery Shoppers" to Investigate Shortage of Primary Care Physicians

WASHINGTON — Alarmed by a shortage of primary care doctors, Obama administration officials are recruiting a team of “mystery shoppers” to pose as patients, call doctors’ offices and request appointments to see how difficult it is for people to get care when they need it. ...

WARNING!  Link is to the NY Times.

Hey, Washington!  You want to put the kaibosh on this doctor shortage?  How about you pass some tort reform, abolish Obamacare, and actually make it worthwhile to become a doctor in this day and age.

Idiots.

I agree with the majority here. This is one of the rare instances where I disagree with Thomas.

He makes a valiant attempt to walk the first amendment back to "as originally written" without all of the creep we have had over the years. I feel for him there and somewhat agree with it, but that is now litterally impossible to do because it would kill just about ALL of the current first amendment protections on speech to get this video game thing.

So what's the story about the Walmart in Woodland Park?  I drove by it last week, and it was the most rustic Walmart ever (had a log cabin facade, to look like it belonged there). 

116 95 I find the women at Walmart to be generally attractive but I tend not to notice anything I'm not specifically hunting for.

!!!!

You haven't seen me have you??

I worded that poorly  the first time here's another try.

Good recovery, Buzz.  If I was single, though, wallyworld wouldn't be my hunting grounds.  It'd depend on what I was after:

easy chicks:  whole foods.  hands down. hottie tramp-o-rama.

hot chicks you might wanna bring home to mom:  golf course bars or high end restaurant waitresses.  Most of those girls are working their ass off but are focused on a career.  They have the sense to know that everything won't be handed to them, hence the job.

117 And just to top the week off, my wife just called to say that she's been laid off. I'll be curled up under my desk now.

118 117 Yeah,and no amount of apologies can fix the damage he did.He gave the Dems a talking point they will use.They must be thrilled.

120 123 Tatoo is Chris Wallace??

121

I'm sorry for your loss, joncelli. God be with you.

122 Could be worse jon, you could wake up next to this.

123 117, Next sunday Chris Wallace is going to slobber an epic apology. He will say things like It was unprofessional, unneccesarry, not up to my standards BLAH BLAH BLAH. What he won't say is that she is not a flake. If he goes on Red Eye and faces Greg I'll forgive him.

Woodland is little Boulder.  It's where all the hippie psychics/pottery class/bead weavers that can't afford to live in boulder live.  It's not a bad wallyworld though... I've been in there a few times.  It's mostly empty because the hippies hate walmart lol.

Yep. Chris Wallace is a flake.

Don't expect his "I'm not a witch flake" PR moment, though posting him with that line appropriately illustrates this PC carnival barker.

I'm getting it from both sides too. My 32 year old cousin was rushed to the hospital for what they thought is a heart attack, so he missed visiting my mom before she died, and another cousin's 2 year old was just diagnosed with lime disease. I swear there seems to be an increasing exodus from this shit ball of a planet.

146 The International Criminal Court never indicted or ordered the arrest of Bin Laden, because he had been on the payroll of the CIA and MI-6 into at least the mid-1990s.

Maverick, do you never tire of this nonsense?  That is such utter horseshit that I don't even know where to begin.  Yes, I do--exactly what do the CIA, MI-6, and the ICC have in common?  That's right, nothing.  I would also be extremely interested to know where one goes about obtaining the CIA and MI-6 payrolls.

Sheesh.

I think they gave some money to some other Enemies of the People, like Scott Walker.

But they're the typical Emmanuel Goldsteins that the Left invents and desires to hate.

This one's cheaper than most because it's just an attempt to cover for Soros and his massive influence.

What always amazes me is how they can whip up all this hatred and their minions eagerly fall for it.

152 No ....I've got rules about how I will appear in public.  I may slob out at home from time to time but I'm not walking out that door lookin like shit.

153 On the score of Fox bias take this headline/link to story and think about it.

Obama Tries to Revive Debt Talks as Dems, GOP Bicker

So the GOP will not agree to a tax hike, it is now "bickering". They try to make it look like Obama is going to settle a fight between two squabbling children.

This is why I don't watch very much Fox any more.

It's the lefties "look over there" schtick to deflect from George Soros, Teresa Heinz-Kerry, and Google

They tried that schtick with Richard Mellon-Scaife, only to be met by shrugs of "who?"

156 I'm sorry to hear it, joncelli. May your grieving be short and your happy memories long.

The Koch Brothers are double evil. Not only do they give money to right leaning causes, they made thier fortune in a business called Koch Petroleum.

Killing America, and the world.

158 "Okay. Off to Wal-Mart. Gag. Will report any interesting "sightings." Posted by: Jane D'oh" Use your cell phone camera. You could make a "Women of Walmart" calendar. Hey, after seeing that photo of The Wicked Witch of the Left, oops, I mean the Joo hater Helen Thomas, I can stomach anything.

What's with the feet up on the furniture all the time? Reagan would have canned anyone who did that, and Bush had enough respect for the office.

Okay, hit your hand with a hammer or something to get the third thing out of the way. 

164 Jon, Beserker, my deepest condolance. Indeed it takes foever to heal from the hole in your heart when a parent dies, I comfort myself that they were called home to the place beyond the reach of pain or sadness. They watch over us untill the promised day when we join them. I feel my foster father with me still. They will be with you. I pray God brings you comfort.

165 The irony about the left's hatred of the Koch Brothers is that they are pro-choice, for decriminalizing drugs, pro gay-marriage, anti patriot act and for cutting defense spending.  Yes, insane right wingers those Kochs.

Twenty years ago I lived in Satellite Beach, FL about a 10 minute drive from the KSC.  At that time you could take a bus out to look at the old Titan pads where the Gemini missions launched.  They had been mostly torn down except for the main structural bases that stood like wide fat barstools sticking up in the scrub oaks.  On the inside of each base, in letters about five feet high, were painted  the words "ABANDON IN PLACE".

I think that's a fitting epitaph for NASA.

What do you think it means, English?

173 That statement would never have been said about any democrat.  male politician with the exception of Dennis Kucinich.

You see, never vote based upon gender or upon race; but vote on the Constitution.

After a discussion with Ace about how the Republican Party establishment apologists disproportionately attribute "flake" to females, while ignoring the flakiness of male gaffs, I recall not-traditional-conservative women being supported by Republican leadership.

Remember the liberal appointee whom Reagan gifted to his political opponents, Sandra Day O'Connor; and the neoconservative single Ivy League academic Condi Rice who wasn't even Bush's first choice. GWB tried to get a flake into the SCOTUS, and appointed a flake to be Attorney General.

When McCain put Palin on his '08 campaign, the leadership along with most wannabe big shots in the GOP never approved. And when Michele Bachmann established the first congressional Tea Party Caucus (House), again, the Republican male leadership poo-pooed the entire concept of linking their uber elitist dignity with the crass conservative grass roots American voters who really ought to STFU and do as their told by their "betters" who eschew the Tea Party movement.

Remember Ruth McClung. It isn't that intelligent professional conservative Republican women do not run for office, or serve in Congress. But it isn't as if highly skilled, successful conservative women are promoted into the party leadership unless they've sold out like Kay Bailey Hutchison.

There's nothing new to the glass ceiling fact of life. But when claiming that the Republican Party established leaders actually support conservative women politically, where's the proof?  It seems another case of "give us your vote" because who are you going to trust, us "big guns" or your lying eyes?

174

Joncelli, I'm sorry for your loss, and for your wife's layoff on top of it.  Seems like adding insult to injury.  Prayers and best wishes to you in a very difficult time. 

175 Who's gonna play Michele Bachmann in SNL skits?

Sheesh.

You fail to acknowledge the source who served in those administrations, and established the CIA anti-terrorism program.

Intelligence comes from its own community network, and attending members witnessed our own meetings; and those who coordinated with former Joint Chiefs have their own testimony regarding where funding is allocated. 

You remind me of the Cowboy who egged on a fight, shouting at his cheating friend to kill the Swede, and when the death happens, asks, "What did I do wrong?" -- Stephen Crane's "The Blue Hotel."

Sheesh
