Um, wasn't she a little old to be sitting on her dad's lap...?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...in-copenhagen/

Shades of Hillary ("I was named after Sir Edmund") Clinton...now, if she had
said she remembered sitting on her dad's lap watching George Poage win _his_
medals, it might have been different...well, even funnier, anyway...next stop,
Liverpool, where she announces that she was especially close to the Beatles -
she was even named after the song "Michelle My Belle"....

Sheesh,
R
....and apparently, she didn't steal it all that much...and her husband didn't do
much better - what, 15 minutes after he lands, the IOC thumbs their nose at
Chigago...

come on, let's view this rationally. You get to spend 10 days watching
a fine sporting event in one
of two locales:
Choice One--Rio, with occaisional breaks, lying on the beach and
enjoying the, um, scenery.

Choice Two--Chicago.

I don't care if Barack, Michelle, Oprah, and all the Beatles, living
and deceased, made the pitch.
You would have to be insane to choose Chicago.

Yeah, like Bill Bennett said on one of the cable talking head shows:

"I'm actually for Rio. In Rio, it's beautiful women at the beach,
and in Chicago, it's fat people eating."

What he said.

The truth. Ya ever been to Rio? We have. Beautiful city with
beautiful beaches and people.

Chicago? Come on! What the hell does Chicago have except corrupt
politicians. IF Chicago got it, I'm willing to bet that the ChiTown
Grubbies would have their fingers in the till, and the games would go
down with billions of dollars lost.

cool. Google will work as a cheap substitute, now that Verizon is
kaput for Usenet groups. I created that goofy nom de plume from
some foolishness in the past, no doubt involving Connor. BTW, it is
such a hoot to watch Mike Shaw parade through a
Mennonite food store wearing Wayno's "who the Hell are you calling
Dumbo" shirtg Just an aside, gleaned from our recent foray
to Penn's. BTW, Leadwing Coachman wets worked around Coburn. Looking
forward to the end of this month....big streamers for
migrating spawners!!

If all I had to access Usenet was Google Groups I'd quit accessing
Usenet. When Ameritech pulled the plug on Usenet I signed on to the
free nntp server news.eternal-september.org. Works fine for me, I
have my Thunderbird newsreader and my killfiles and it's free.

Bad form, Mr. Remailer. Please do not taunt the loony to crawl out
from under its rock.

I'll second the nod to eternal-september.org.

ok, with luminaries such as you, and Forty on board, it was worth a try.
Very nice, very easy. I don't use many killfiles, but being back on my usual
mail reader is nice.
Thanks......now, what were we discussing here?

Hm.....

Well, it ain't exactly rocket science......but it'll do, I guess.

who sometimes wonders why people who can't be bothered (or don't have
the requisite skill set) to move their own hands while masturbating
don't simply find a less demanding hobby.

Oh, hell, if it were a choice between Chicago and Apalachicola, FL., Chicago
would be SOL, overall atmosphere-wise...but that still leaves a 20-something
Y.O. Michelle sitting on her dad's lap watching Carl Lewis and a slap to Obama.
Blair went to the IOC meeting and got 'em for London '12, and Putin went and got
'em for Borschtingrad or wherever the hell they'll be in Russia '14, and Obama
couldn't even get at least a reach-around for his efforts (and please, the "oh,
his - and Michelle's - trip to Copenhagen had NOTHING to do with the
Olympics..." shtick is as silly as it sounds...).
