that’s pretty interesting Adam! Thanks for sharing! I guess that set was on a roof (last part of the video) why 2 umbrellas? and did you have any in your drink?

What building were you ontop of at the end?

“So I stopped into the DC Bureau and people are obviously busy with Pop coverage.”

Who’s “Pop”?

John, I saw that too but didn’t figure Adam would TRY to be disrespectful to the Pope aka pop. ha ha

Let’s see now…….a guy named Adam calls the Pope, “Pop”………….does that mean that he thinks the Pope is G…………nah, that can’t be right…….not from a Foxnews correspondent.

*L* John!

Adam…i dont think they were thrilled with being front and center on the blog! *L*
See what happens when there is a typo…everyone notices!

why the roof top?

Hello to the guys on the Edge…Great job–love Fox!!
Lots of work, equipment and umbrellas involved there.

It’s a big day there in DC….. it’s the Pope’s birthday today too! Happy Birthday!
(I can’t think of any Pop jokes…) *G*

Maybe he meant Pop princess Brittney Spears?

I used to call soda……pop…well I guess I still do

Derek: so you’re suggesting they were busy spraying soda at eachother?

In celebration of the Pope’s B-Day………I hope he’ll understand……

Moses, Jesus and God went out to play a round of golf. At the first hole, a 425 yard par 4, Moses sliced the ball right into the lake.
“No problem”, he said, “I’ll just part the water and I should have a clear shot to the flag”
Next, God’s first drive goes just as straight as can be and two bounces later on the green brings the ball just two inches from the cup.
“What, no hole in one today” asked Moses, “Nope”, said the Lord, “just want to keep it interesting”.
Jesus’ first shot failed misserably…….it barely went twenty yards. Then just before it came to a stop, out comes a rabbit. The rabbit picks up the ball and starts running down the fairway towards the green when, out of the blue, an eagle swoops down and grabs the rabbit by the neck and takes off into the high heavens. As the eagles claws pinch the final breaths out of the rabbit, the rabbit releases the ball from it’s mouth……….it bounces once on the green and into the cup……….a hole in one.
Both the disgusted Moses and Father give Jesus a condemning look. Finally God asked, “Son, are you going to play golf or are you going to f##k around all day?”

I always called pop, pop. Soda was for the rich kids. lol

Did they fly the Popemobile here, or was it made special for this visit?

(I use to think calling it that was a joke, but it’s actually what they call it. I guess he’s the only one allowed to ride in it; like the batmobile.)

Jen S: the last Pope didn’t like the name Popemobile, and ask the media not to call it that, but this Pope doesn’t seem to mind.

John-coming from you We all understand.
Max– I wondered about that. That is the term used all over the media.
I think it sounds silly.

Jen S: I thought it sounded cool.

Look, up in the sky over Vatican City! It’s the Pope Signal!
Quickly Cardinal! To the Popemobile!

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Pope-Man! Pope-Man! Pope-man!

Oh dear—time for 10 Hail Marys. lol

10 hail mary’s

That brings up some fond memories of my youth and some of the girls at the catholic high school in the same town.

To wherever those girls went-

I still love you all, and thanks for the school girl fetish y’all gave me.

Marnie was my favorite.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I’m thinking acts of contrition!!

max i gotta admit, that was hilarious!

hail mary’s, acts of contrition, its all the same to me.

I just know those girls liked to party, and we always had fun.

and yes max, that was funny

I wonder what types of things he would keep on his utility belt?

holy water? wafer dispenser?

Cool vid

The roof is always the best place for the background… unless it’s raining.

Jen S………..10 Hail Marys?…………Better make that 100. I just got an e-mail reservation confirmation from hell. Here’s part of it. ” Dear John ” (not again)……..”this is to confirm your reservation with us………….date of arrival: anytime you’re ready……..date of departure: doubtfull. We look forward to your stay with us blah, blah blah………….Confirmation #666.
Well, at least it’s a low number……….can’t be too crowded now could it?

hehe, thanks. Blessed waffers would make effective shurikens against demons and the possessed, but harmless to others.

MGPalmer: the background was good, but don’t you have to take all the equipment out every time?

So thats how you get all those sky backgrounds in the heart of the city…duh patty!

Guess i never thought of it, cause out here, thats all we see is sky

Dick Cheney was much funnier than Mo Rocca tonight at that dinner tonight. I saw it on CSPAN.

cool video!!! and with some fun comments!

Adam– did you get to see the Pope? He waited forever for you in Italy when you were on vacation! Send him my regards!!!

Fox News Edge– how apropos especially when on the roof!!

Dear John-
I use The *MasterCard for my reservations - no fees, no penalties..you get a return every time you use it…it offers great rates on room accommodations; rooms with a view, and you can adjust your own thermostat. You gain points every time you use it and even for just carrying it. (You still have time to cancel your other reservation.) Oh and the best part…it’s Priceless.

Jen S………LOL………..Applying now.

What’s in your wallet?…………

Just one more blonde joke………I’d do some brunnete jokes, but ya’ll just arent that funny.

A blonde walks into an automotive parts store and asks for a “710″ cover for her engine. She explained that her car had always had one but now it was gone after her last service.

After spending about an hour checking all the different parts catalogues and consulting with several other staff members, no 710 cover was to be found. One of the parts counter people asked if she could draw a 710 cover, so that they could get a better understanding of what it could possibly be.

She held her hands up and made a circle about 2.5 inches in diameter. The parts person still didn’t understand and asked again if she could draw it.

She finally drew a picture of the 710 cover……..and when she was finished with her drawing everyone at the counter burst out into laughter.
Here’s why………

http://www.joe-ks.com/archives_feb2003/710.jpg

Adam………we need for you to get going on another one of your in-depth reports. I’m running out of “clean” jokes.
Maybe a report on how we can rid ourselves of our foreign dependence of 710.

“I’m running out of “clean” jokes.”

egad. a dire situation!

hm…

well, until we are graced with a new thread topic

@John

Forgive what might be considered a really odd trivia question, but I’m genuinely curious. In joke post, you used “…but ya’ll just arent that funny.” Is not the usage ‘ya’ll’ singular?

John ~ that joke was hilarious! I’m a blonde and I sometimes resemble the jokes that are made!

LDG………my mistake, and you are correct. It should have been “Y’all”…….not “Ya’ll”. Y’all is a pronoun meaning ‘you all’.
No, I’m not that smart……I looked it up.

ok…john here is a blonde joke for you…

A blonde is driving her car when a massive hail storm hits, putting small dents all over it.

She takes it to an auto body shop and asks for an estimate, the mechanic wanting to have a little fun, tell her that it will be too easy to fix, she just needs to wrap her mouth around the tailpipe and blow…the dents will pop out.

The blonde takes the car home and parks it in the garage, she gets out, wraps her mouth around the tailpipe and begins blowing with all her might, but nothing happens

Her room mate (a brunette) is watching and laughing at the blonde blowing on the tailpipe, when the blonde finally gives up.

The brunette says hey honey what are you doing?

The blonde explains what the mechanic had said and the room mate laughs again saying

“I got news for you sweetie, that isn’t going to work because you windows are rolled down”

@John

not a mistake, unless typos count (and this place is typo-central!)

..and clearly you *are* that smart. You looked it up, I just asked a semi-ignorant question ((grin)).

That’s a good one, Derek. Even the boys here in the office hadn’t heard that one before.
Our receptionist (a blonde) brought up the point that maybe the hail storm broke out all the car’s windows…………oh well, at least she’s a great receptionist.

Here’s a side topic, based on John’s inquiry about “710 independence”

Seems the military (the largest spot-buyer of petroleum in the U.S.) is running into a legislative Catch-22 on securing fuel, mostly for aviation. Here’s one look at the problem:

http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/04/ban-on-alternat.html

“I’d do some brunnete jokes, but ya’ll (y’all) just arent that funny.”

I take offense to that remark John!
What do you call a brunette in a room full of blondes?
Invisible.

ha ha ha ha haa! Everyone is in rare form today!!

jen S

what does the group of blondes call the brunette?

Boss!

OK,

what does everyone think this means?

I watched the dems fight last night and they are pathetic, but I grew curious as to what Obama believed, I mean, he distanced himself from the pastor and for as lame as his excuse is, it is an excuse. Plain and simple I did not know the rev said that, fine. But he belongs to this church and has for 20 years, so you would think that he at least believes in what the mission statement of the church.

But what does statement 4 mean?

I am curious, follow the link and read the “10-point vision”

I am concerned about the meaning of #4

http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

Derek………that #4 does seem out of place……. the word(s) “non-negotiable” really sent up my little red warning flags. Those words are usually not associated with anything good, or what’s fair for all……just for the select few that are setting the rules.

That really wasn’t a debate last night, was it? (Hillary/Obama)…….it sounded more like an “I love you/no, I love you more” contest than a debate. I turned the channel after the first 15 minutes…………a complete waste of air time, IMO.

John,

the debate was so pathetic, I shut it off too.

That is the thing that concerned me about #4 as well non-negotiable, sounds pretty scary for any American President, how would people feel if John McCain came out and said he had a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO IRELAND

@Derek

an offer of friendly help — the analogy would be COMMITMENT TO EUROPE, or to something like what used to be called “Anglo-Saxon Europe”, to match up with the modern usage “Africa” as it pertains to the African-Americans-are-African cultural movement.

Other than that little assist on the rhetoric, I better stay out of this one.

eww we read that church statement way back when all this started, it scares the bejeberz out of me! Like a cat when the hair stands up on their back….a natural defense system kicks in.

There is something about hiding behind “religion” that just makes my skin crawl. As personified by the news the last 2 weeks, and longer with wright’s beliefs. We were involved with a seemingly “good church” when we were much younger, and not so smart, and, long story short, we ran like h*ll when we realized what was going on.
Our kids are not big church goers, and I’m OK with that. I feel safer for them, knowing they aren’t involved with one of these cults, and there are many, many, many. I know what we instilled, a believe of a higher power, as long as they still believe that, and no one is taking advantage of them, its a good thing.
And by cult…i mean any religion, it doesn’t matter. There are some priests/ministers/pastors etc that are way out there in thinking, and have nothing to do with the original beliefs of their religion. Our town just passed the torch on a priest that had many buffaloed in the name of the catholic religion. Its just sad, that people usually seek out some sort of pastoral help when the are at their lowest, and end up reaching out to the one that is going to hurt them in some way, they never see it coming.
grrrrrrrrrr….just makes me spitting angry!

and yes, that debate was nothing but a 2 way bl*w j*b! I’m done with politics. Its ridiculous! I just wish more people (dems) would stand up and make a statement that this will not be tolerated! But…i guess its back to hiding behind a party name. (like religion) People that are really looking to turn things around, will not see “the change” coming

LDG,

thanks for the correction, you are right.

This is a subject many are not going to touch, but I am unashamedly AMERICAN, with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO THE UNITED STATES (not north america..lol)

I am just so tired of all of the deception in this election, and it seems that Obama is not honest with all of his feelings.

For those thinking I am picking on Obama, don’t, as soon as I find something similar on Hil, I will be talking about it, same thing for McCain. I am not sold on any of the candidates INTEGRITY, and that is vital to me.

I don’t think any succesfull leader can be bound by the words ‘non-negotiable’ unless he/she is the one making such an ultimatum. For example, The President of the US cannot stand in front of the American people and proclaim, ” I cannot increase the defense budget because I have a non-negotiable commitment to Africa (or Europe,Mars or Disneyworld) to adhere to first, before we spend anywhere else.”

Patty…….LOL, your analogy of last night’s debate is interesting, to say the least. What does that say for Hillary’s gender?……I dare ask.

Adam—

You are a star over at Greta’s– she posted a video of you—

check it out!!!! How was dinner?

morning all!

John,

You are absolutely right, what if an african country such as Somalia, or Sudan, says, we demand the United States support our cause, and we have a president with a non-negotiable commitment to Africa, does that weigh in on his foreign policy? I do not care where he says he has the commitment, but it would seem that a non-negotiable commitment would be similar to an allegiance, or maybe I am reading too much into it.

John–

”…….not “Ya’ll”. Y’all -

don’t worry about that– Remember when Adam hosted Fox & Friends, the same mistake was made too and a few people had a good time with that–

Jen– where is that picture you posted at the time?
And for diversion– did you know Cindy McCain’s website for recipes from the McCain family had to do down because many of the recipes came from the Food Network? Rachel Ray was flattered since one of her recipes was used–

@Susan-AZ

good morning, sleepyhead. ((grin))

Derek-

Maybe it’s a typo…. that happens, you know. Africa; America ….

Signed-having a blonde moment

Hey Susan—
good to see you! I’m headed out–bye!

perhaps, but Borat isn’t a blonde.

That does bring up something else, I wonder how long until Hildabeast starts claiming “blonde moments” for her mess ups?

derek…you mean like the day she said “i do”?

patty-

ROFLMAO…..bwahahahahahaha

My theory is that the clintons are a political couple, they viewed marriage as a joining of forces. I think that if somebody really dug into their past, they would find that both of them have had numerous affairs.

I do not think there is or has been a lot of love in that relationship, and that its more pragmatic than romantic.

fyi greta got a vid of adam at her D.C. office …

Hamas for Obama

http://cameron.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/04/16/a-hamas-problem-for-obama/

Fess up, i’m gonna have to stimulate the economy with our gov’t check, it might as well be china’s! *L*

pATTY,

LDG,

All the Wrong ones lol

Patty- here’s my Breckenridge slideshow. check it out (and anyone else interested)

Avi: good luck with the tests.

FL Sunshine ~ the pictures were great! I miss snowboarding! I have only been a couple of times but I loved it.

FL…awesome pics!! Thanks for sharing them. We have a niece with a cabin at Breck. Never did take her up on the offer to let us use it.

Patty - WHY???? I’d go every year if I had a connection like that!

FL..how about i go to your place in the sun…while you go to the snow? *L*

Greta says you were supposed to bring her some wine but you drank it all and left her an empty bottle!

Adam-

Last time I was in Dallas I was headed home on mid-tour leave, I ended up getting stuck there for 12 hours, rather than let a soldier sit there alone, several flight attendants took me to a local watering hole, where we got tore up, from the floor up, I do not condone this behavior, I was still in uniform, and I am an army non-commissioned officer. But that local water-hole insisted I have many rounds on the house, and every patron in there wanted to shake my hand. I sat there and got totally wasted, then it was time to leave and I was going to miss my flight, the flight attendants said no worries and helped me through security, I was too drunk to even untie my own boots, and all of the native texans in line, laughed, wished me the best and asked me to visit again. I was upgraded to 1st class, given 7 or 8 full on kisses by he flight attendants and other ladies in the terminal, once on the plane I was served more alcohol on my way home.

Texas is wild, and the people there LOVE soldier, LOVE to party, and do not care about rules. I still get emails from people I met that day asking me to come back and party.

Last time i was in Dallas was for my cuzins Bat- Mitzvah lol

first time i flew was to atlanta via DFW.
was also the first time i’d ever seen moving sidewalks!
Told ya I was “small town”! *LOL*

Adam

Did you write that note to Greta on toilet paper or a paper towel!!!!

Now I know why your bags are always ripped up when you travel - you have them full of your bottles of wine.

Now really, how did one bottle get broken before you gave them to Greta??

Derek-

wowie! How was the hangover? The flight attendants were not flying, I am assuming– as like this would make a difference– It’s the pilots I would freak out about!
