Thanks for sharing those pics, Adam! I liked how the Washington Monument is in line with the sun….

My how handsome you look– love the kerchief in your pocket! Nice tie– from the trunk show?

Mr O sure is tall– as you are tall and he is taller than you!!! What was his word for the evening? Were there any Pinheads there? Or all Patriots?

Looks like you had a nice evening– where is Tamera?

great pictures! thanks for sharing~

Adam - Nice Pics! Thanks for sharing them with us Fox Fans! Very good picture of the Romney’s too.
Any news on the t-shirts?

Good morning all…….

This is from Janice Dean’s blog……personally I think it’s an assinine cover. What will they use this historical photo for next, a Viagra ad?

http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080417171532.aspx

John - that Time cover is as you say “assinine”. What’s next? Jesus on a plastic recycled cross?

Adam…great pics as always. When I saw the one of Bill O…i thought you had to take that one just for john! ha ha

john…i agree, that cover is terrible. People should go to jail for crap like that during war time, or anyother time for that matter.

Everyone says you broke that wine alright. You broke the seal and drank it all then gave Greta a bottle of Boone’s Farm strawberry wine! lol

“Do You Believe Adam’s Note?”

Okay - saw this morning and thought I’d share. Hope no one is offended.
New Entry for 2008 Dictionary

Electile Dysfunction: the inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

Awesome photos….I loved the one of Mr O.

John-that cover is disgusting! I know it shouldn’t amaze me how far people will go to push their agenda, but it always does.

Little Piggy - yes, I will have to believe Adam’s story. He obviously can get his hands on as much wine as he wants whenever he wants.

Little Piggy–

“Washington is broken”
….so yes, I believe Adam. Besides, it’s par for the course for his traveling adventures! LOL

Next time you talk to Romney tell him if he had been that funny during the campaign he would have gotten my vote! He was hilarious and the shining star at that event. Maybe he and Cheney should do a road show together. Kind of like Hope and Crosby from days gone by…..

Adam ~ Great pictures! I do like the one of the Washington Momument with the sun directly behind it as well.

FL Sunshine ~ Not offended…that was funny!

John ~ I agree with you…that is assinine and why in the world would anyone want to compare WWII to Global Warming is beyond me!

Adam

great pics!

John,

As a former Marine, I am saddened and angry that a left wing rag like TIME would use the memory of one of the most savage battles in Marine history to make an at best dubious political/environmental statement.

There is away to strike back though. DO NOT purchase a TIME rag, not now, not ever. They will apologize, but it will be meaningless because they will do something like it again and be “surprised” by the outcry from veterens and veterens families. They do these things to offend vets (not just Marines) all in the name journelistic expression and for the shock value thinking that it will increase their sales…thats why I have not bought or read a TIME rag since around 1982…not even after 911.

@John, Retread and All

re: TIME magazine cover

They do it to intentionally demean something of value to the very constituency they beleive opposes the ‘progress’ they support.

“If your foe is quick to anger…” and all that.

The best answer other than the obvious of not buying the rag, if I may, is to distain it once and then ignore it.

Retread………I totally agree with you and I haven’t bought,picked up or even glanced at a Time rag in many years. I even contemplated not posting the link, for fear it would give them more undeserved free exposure, but I thought some of us here would be interested in seeing the trash that this “rag” is capable of producing.

Addenda:

Oh, and if you’ve never looked at the numbers, compare 5+ years in Iraq, a country roughly bigger than California, with the losses on little ol’ Iwo Jima over a few weeks. (correct name Ioujima or Ioutou, BTW)

Here’s the wikipedia entry. usual caveats re: Wiki-p.

And something different (way different):

Anyone else noticing FOXNews mainpage loading (refreshing) particularly slowly into IE7 these last couple days?

Something is screwing with the bandwidth allowed for the access, especially regarding the advertising client. It is something new, as I’ve never had problems before and nothing has changed on my end’s configuration … and I can watch my best anti-spam/anti-spy monitor get busy during the refresh, too. Not confidence-building, that.

@Adam Housley

My thanks for your consideration.

LDG……..I just did a quick comparison to some other news sites and Foxnews.com is indeed loading much slower than them.
Could it be a CNN plot? Or something larger and more devine……..Wolf Blitzer did get to meet the Pope last night……..While Bill O’ was stuck in NY left to analyze the Pontiff’s body language……….

Ah Adam, I believe you didn’t really chug-a-lug all that wine before you gave Greta what was left, but it is Friday and I am bored. A little East Coast/West Coast feud between you two might help the day pass more quickly and I am more than happy to stir the pot. lol lol

Speaking of Bill O’……….I have an idea what this is:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351732,00.html

since it gets at it’s loudest during the airing of The Factor, I believe it’s 6.6 billion earthlings wondering what they have just heard………..Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

@John

In the spirit of your “Could it be a CNN plot? Or something larger and more devine(sic)…”

don’t discount the possiblity of:
EVIL, PURE AND SIMPLE, FROM THE 8TH DIMENSION!

((grin))

Make that 5.9999999 billion earthlings…….I don’t think Keith Olberman is watching.

John - maybe it’s the groaning of countless dissatisfied voters across America

Fl Sunshine…….I think you just hit the nail on the head……and got Bill O’ off the hook. The humming/groaning does indeed get loudest during Bill’s show, but only when he mentions Clinton, Obama and McCain during the same segment……….And, when the body language “specialist” comes on.

Wheeeee!!!!!!!!!! We have pictures!!!

Adam!! Where ya been?

I love your tie, compliments you nicely-perfect color!

my favorite picture is you with Bill!! That’s a cool photo!

I have a lot to cath up on here… where is everyone?

I’m talking to myself again

ok.. I, unfortunately, have to get back to this event we’re doing… so I’ll check back later tonight. Hope everyone is doing well!!

LDG

should I break out the little aluminum hats? I’ve heard their brain manipulating rays can cause a person to vote for Obama…really scary that 8th dimension.

@Karen T

Not talking to yourself, I for one am just slow to reply…

“…to get back to this event we’re doing…”

Luck with that, and thanks again for your link to “Know About Congress” in your name-link.

@Retread

heh, tinfoil hats, as I recall, were not the answer…

(Showing my age here, again)

…but if you happen to have the number for Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers, you might want to give them a call about this.

Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers?…………..What the…?

Morning to all— real quick note here to Adam–

Who cleaned up the wine mess after the bottle broke? I bet that was a sight!

and that is a funny story!!! Glad Washington D.C. was also able to share some of the wine!

Greta did a great job teasing you!
Have a good day everyone!!!

@John

I would be messing with you. Pop Culture reference from the 80’s:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Buckaroo_Banzai_Across_the_8th_Dimension

LDG: so you’re suggesting Time Mag is from the 8th Dimension?
Maybe that’s why it makes so little sense….

LDG…….After countless matenees of The Rocky Horror Picture Show I put my cult movie addictions aside………well, all except the Debbie Does…. series.

Hey Adam Great Pix! I have been off line with a computer crash! Sounds like you had a great table!

@Max

heh, perhaps I did imply something like that… Or at least their editorial policies.

@John

Ah, a reasonable choice there. ((grin)) Glad to see you have a place for the classics in your collection, however.

In honor of the weeks events……The Pope, the wine….and bad jokes..
Y’all have a good weekend! LOL

A policeman stops a car which is driving erratically. When he approaches the driver, he sees that he’s a priest. ‘Excuse me Father’, says the policeman, ‘but have you been drinking?’. ‘No’, says the priest, ‘I only drink water’. The policeman spots an empty wine bottle on the passenger seat and says to the priest ‘So why do you have that?’. ‘Well I never’, replies the priest, ‘he’s done it again!’

@Jen S

((grin)) A good one, that!

and with my fill of amusement for the day, I need be going now.

Be Well and Safe, All. See you on the ‘morrow.
((departs))

Dropping out of formation myself……….time to re-fuel. Have a great weekend all.

Aftermath of Adam’s visit to Greta’s office perhaps?

http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/0,4644,3797,00.html#3_0

JOHN - Perhaps the earth’s groanings (caused by voter’s as mentioned above) brought it on. ???

LDG,

Adam,

Funny letter for Greta ….. chug chug chug
