AdamSmith Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 So, AS, are you among the legions that greet Spring with a big sneeze? Not really, thank heaven, the house being surrounded by pine trees. Right now every outside surface is yellow with pollen. But I live in dread of the day when Father Time says, This is the year you get allergies. Quote

Sitting with patrons at Jones Street Java House, in Le Claire, the former Secretary of State listened intently, sipped from a cup of coffee, and nodded her head at appropriate junctures, flawlessly reënacting a brief scene from her first campaign video. After about twenty minutes of virtually nonstop displays of empathy, a Clinton aide said, “we decided to shut it down.” “Hillary is staring down nineteen months of sipping coffee and nodding her head,” the aide continued. “We want to make sure she paces herself.” After her Iowa visit, Clinton is scheduled to bring her looks of concern to New Hampshire, South Carolina, and other early primary states. It's day two and already she has sucked me in. Sucked as in figuratively, not literally. AdamSmith and lookin 2 Quote

If you shitheads can just get in line, we can breeze through this whole campaign in 19 months and be done with it. Or, if you really want, we can do this the hard way. Because make no mistake, I’m not fucking around. Got it?” Clinton then ended her announcement by vowing to fight for a better future for all working-class families like the one she grew up in. http://www.theonion.com/articles/hillary-clinton-to-nation-do-not-fuck-this-up-for,38416/ MsAnn 1 Quote

It’s time for Cuba to embrace the same dishonest, nominally democratic form of government that all of its neighbors have.” Sherman went on to express the administration’s hopes for a future in which Cuba will regularly conduct transparent elections bought and paid for by powerful corporate interests. http://www.theonion.com/articles/us-encouraging-cuba-to-shift-toward-democratic-sys,38422/ lookin, RA1 and MsAnn 3 Quote
