Clearly, I didn't realize how strongly it would affect you. So, I don't owe you for a concussion and an ER visit, do I? Thank God you recovered enough to provide some mighty fine "word" definitions. Re the Heath care, no, I don't think it's too soon. Public domain, you know.:)<BR/><BR/>Is that true about PETA, Roxan? Eee-yew! I hope none of us end up seeing Leavenworth from the inside for failure to pay our fair share to bail out the big boys who are down to mere trillions in assets.:)<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Puggy, for reminding me that I need to watch <I>Nell</I> again. Now that you refresh my memory, it occurs to me that there is much to be learned from young Nell vis-a-vis understanding these weird goings-on. Oh, my, yes, you DO have Doublespeak down pat. I'm impressed! You could rent yourself out as an interpreter for political events. Good luck getting a bail-out on your gambling debts. I just hope we don't end up as cell mates at Leavenworth.:-)<BR/><BR/>Funny you should say that, VE. I saw 2 men wearing suspenders yesterday. They both looked like dorks. Babelfish is a great solution to Doublespeak -- but not as great as rum. When it comes to #5, the government uses Doublespeak to define average. But don't worry, Puggy and I will watch your back at Leavenworth. And I think I know how to make a shank. We'll be okay.<BR/><BR/>/t., I worry about you. Although not as much as if you'd said you want to be JANET Jackson when you grow up. Thinking does indeed hurt, especially today, but Happy Thursday anyway.:)<BR/><BR/>I know, Mona. One must be ever vigilant for the head scratching. And we must do so covertly -- to stay out of Leavenworth.:-)Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798532682456165053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-64546188527678185482008-09-25T14:12:00.000-04:002008-09-25T14:12:00.000-04:00Not to post for a third time today, but I actually...Not to post for a third time today, but I actually know these words...<BR/><BR/>faily- an unsuccessful fairy<BR/><BR/>procedes- to follow a profit<BR/><BR/>cutsomers- people who visit a barber<BR/><BR/>helth care- caring for the corpse of Heath Leger (too soon?)<BR/><BR/>vendictive- getting even with a Venn diagram<BR/><BR/>mysogonistic- a hatrid for Miso soup<BR/><BR/>sighned up- reluctantly volunteering<BR/><BR/>trator- a traitorous trackerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897700063744746464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-85632547047294901472008-09-25T12:58:00.001-04:002008-09-25T12:58:00.001-04:00wow! & I cannot even spell correctly..rather t...wow! & I cannot even spell correctly..rather type correctly...Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-61598569036638358352008-09-25T12:58:00.000-04:002008-09-25T12:58:00.000-04:00Kanrei!

But, you see, I have the advantage of having watched Jody Foster's performance in "Nell" over and over (it REALLY helps).</I><BR/><BR/>3. How good are your Doublespeak interpretation skills?<BR/><BR/><I>Good, I'd say. Here, let me give it a whirl: "Due to the current financial crisis, it would be foolish of me to work on paying my own bills when I need to be tending to the crisis. There are bad people out there who would like to see me do just that, but I will not falter nor will I fail."</I><BR/><BR/>4. Do you approve or disapprove of the government's "correction" plan for the failed financial institutions?<BR/><BR/><I>Strongly disapprove. Where's our check when they profit? They can't have it both ways (Private profit / socialized debt). Will they take care of any gambling debts that I might accrue?</I><BR/><BR/>5.

Is John McCain really suspending his campaign, ...1. Is John McCain really suspending his campaign, or what?<BR/><BR/>I believe he is. McCain has done work unlike Obama who has barely done a thing except run around the country.<BR/><BR/>2. How much of what Dubya said in his speech last night did you understand?<BR/><BR/>Didn't listen to the speech. I heard he did good though but I couldn't never get past his dopey looking face.<BR/><BR/>3. How good are your Doublespeak interpretation skills?<BR/><BR/>Fairly good. When Ross Perot was running I quickly discovered for all the talking he did, he never actually said anything.<BR/><BR/>4. Do you approve or disapprove of the government's "correction" plan for the failed financial institutions?<BR/><BR/>It would make more sense to give tax payers the money. <BR/><BR/>5. Are you, the average taxpayer, up for paying (I think the tab is calculated at $7,000 for each of us) for some rich guy's pool, limo, driver, mansion, maid, retirement fund, and severance package?<BR/><BR/>I once heard the Ben and Jerry guys won't take over $90,000 a year because they didn't think it was right to take more. Kudos to them. Oh did you hear that PETA wants them to stop using cow milk and start using human breast milk in their products? <BR/><BR/>6. If you can't pay your taxes, do you believe the government will bail you out or stick you in a correctional institution?<BR/><BR/>I've seen Leavenworth prison. It looks quite ominous from the outside. I don't want to see the inside.rkfinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375756276776255824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-32910965795379819832008-09-25T10:34:00.000-04:002008-09-25T10:34:00.000-04:00I want to comment, I really do, but I have no idea...I want to comment, I really do, but I have no idea what you wrote after that really horrible picture.
