no post yesterday. i spent time trying to learn about hyperlinks. thanks to sherry and c.i. of common ills for all their supportive e-mails yesterday. both said they were glad to help but i know sherry's got kids and probably could have used her sunday night any number of ways other than repeatedly trying to talk me through this. then i thought i understood it and was feeling good so i start surfing my favorite sites. and i see the groovy list of common ills community members favorite songs. i spent at least a half hour going over that list.
and then it hits me that c.i. was probably trying to get that list done while i was e-mailing. so sherry and c.i. thank you both for sharing your time with me and i know you probably had better things to do.
i also want to say that jodi's had a piece of constructive criticism. in honor of the great bell hooks and e.e. cummings i've stuck with lower case for all my entries and will continue to stick with it. however, i will be italicizing titles. jodi pointed out that with something like the nation it really does make a difference when you're reading.
then i check out my other buddy's blog, folding star at a winding road and see no entry so i don't feel so bad for decided no blogging while i try to absorb everything that i hoped i had learned about hyperlinks. but folding star does have the saturday book chat so grab your cup of coffee, visit the site and sit back and enjoy.
if you didn't hear howard dean is now last man standing. sadly there were only men in the race for dnc chair this go round. howard dean deserves it and i supported him like the rest of the common ills community members. but i have to confess, donnie fowler ... oh be still my heart.
he's got that sexy dork thing going on.
if you've read as many cosmos as i have, you know all about make overs and there's just something about a sexy dork that can make me start thinking make over. i'd let him keep the burns, side burns, and the glasses, but i would do something with the hair. i think it needs to be longer or shorter. it's in that stage where you aren't really sure what it is. i think he'd look so fucking hot with it about 2 inches longer. and the hair itself looks wonderful in terms of texture, so wonderful it's hard not to imagine running my fingers through it.
genetics already gave him two of the most kissable lips, his eyes are great, cute little dimple in his chin.
he could pull of a brush cut as well. but when i see him in jeans with gray socks or argyle socks he's the ultimate dork needing some 1 to come along and style him up. that's not a complaint, i love a project. when he goes casual, he dresses like a college freshman who hasn't heard grunge died. i find that to be a very sexy challenge. and from what i've seen, he's not some 1 who goes in for man scaping. so he's a dream stud waiting to be emerge. it's like she's all that only in reverse.
my friend monica loves the sexy dork look. only she doesn't encourage the hotties she dates to update their style. she thinks it keeps the other ladies away. and it's true, a lot of straight women turn up their noses at guys who think dressing up means dockers and a polo. so i do see her point.
but my point is that donnie fowler is a sexy stud (with or without a make over) and the future should be bright for him. which may be why he could be big about it and make nice comments about howard dean. (or maybe he's just a nice guy all around. guys with the sexy dork vibe tend to have big hearts.) (among other things!)
donnie fowler's graceful exit showed grace, style and good will. oh needle nose just came off petty and desperate?
yes i'm speaking of tim roemer. at 48, he'll be 49 in october, that silly little boy scout cut makes him look as if he grew up in ollie north's household. which isn't all that hard to picture considering the positions he's often taken. but let's be really clear, do something about the bags under your eyes. and with that chin, the little boy smile ('look i just got my front tooth!') ain't working. (and it doesn't help that they do look like baby teeth.)
but his looks are the least of his problems. roemer you made it into the house of representatives. you made it into a right wing think tank. i don't think either qualifies you as leader of the party.
but like a butt ugly moses come down from the mountain, roemer wanted to lecture the flock about the importance of being 'inclusive' on abortion.
news flash for roemer, the party is inclusive. when i vote in a primary, i am not required to 1st have an abortion! the point is that it should be legal. no 1's forcing any 1 to have 1. you don't show up at a fund raiser and tell some 1 you've maxed out on your donations and then have them reply, 'okay but can you step over to the abortion tent because we don't have a high enough number of those.'
but roemer was going to save us even if we didn't want his idea of salvation.
here's roemer as he exits the race with his tail tucked between his wobbly knees:
"I got into this race five weeks ago to talk about the devastating loss we experienced in November," Roemer said in an interview. "It was not about 60,000 votes in Ohio. It was about losing 97 of the 100 fastest growing counties in the country. If that’s a trend in business or politics, you’re in trouble."
we roemer? who's we? your buddies at the mercatus center? phil gramm's wife wendy help you out with that speech? or maybe j.c. watts? yeah, you got some interesting buds serving with you over at mercatus. which is why you make such lame ass comments as this:
Roemer said he hoped to make the party more inclusive, especially on the issue of abortion. He opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother.
hey tim, talk to wendy, she's not still unloading enron stock so she should have plenty of time to advise you, she'll tell you that there already is a party like you're describing - the republican party.
so take your snippy, sad face on over there. you're a slash and burner bound and determined to make it seem as though you were the obvious choice but those wild and crazy lefties just wouldn't give you a chance. you're like zell miller without the charisma. call up j.c. and tell him you need career rehab counseling from midge decter. she'll sit you down and assist you in releasing your inner republican.
but quit pretending you can steer the party. if you could, you wouldn't be dropping out of the race. men with an inflated sense of self usually are overcompensating for some physical short coming.
needle nose came off like the smallest man in the locker room today. i'd urge everyone to gift him with a towel snap but i think he'd enjoy it too much. so let's just be glad that even if he can't comprehend it, he can read the writing on the wall and dropped out of the race today.
you're a joke now. you were a joke before you got in. (being so lame on the 9-11 commission didn't help you.
