16. You still have time to pick out the embroidery...
since, if you want to sneak up on the Republicans, you have to remember they like their white sheets unadorned.

2. LOL, great way of
putting it! It's really been fun watching some in the MSM spin, get put in their place, and squirm.

4. You will gather laurel leaves and vote for Obama...

"You will gather laurel leaves and vote for Obama..."

I'm gonna guess the Greek Temple set is there for one of the several awesome bands that will be opening for Obama.

A Greek Temple.

It's the back yard of the White House.

6. In a way.. the media distortions and obsession with GOP talking points
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 08:01 AM by C_U_L8R
have helped us make our own point.. and have certainly,
by contrast, helped boost the drama of the moment.

It's funny, Liars always think they are invincible.. that no one sees their distortions..
when the truth is.. everyone sees it and their lies only remind us how corrupt they truly are.

14. Either that, or.....
They get nasty and demand "link?" or yell "rumor!" or get in your
face about your sources being confidential.

But they seem to be a small minority. Most of the anger and bitterness
seem to have drifted over to the domain of the right wing blogs.

21. That was unexpected. Thanks!
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 08:37 AM by DFW
:-) :-)

Don't forget--my dad was a DC print reporter who was lauded in the Congressional Record
by members of BOTH parties for being fair and thorough. I grew up with not going to
print (20th century version of posting LOL) if your sources aren't solid.

Besides, Helen would never forgive me if I messed up :hi:

on edit--by the way, I plan to visit Helen at home this weekend as she is still
on round-the clock care. I'll bring her some DU best wishes!

24. Yes, please do what a wonderful lady..
I used to run into her (almost literally) when I worked down at 20 & K. She was always carrying around a big stack of notebooks.

12. OH NOEZ!! DEMS NOT BEING NASTY ENOUGH!...
yeah I got the picture. What a bunch of maroons they are. They'll spend all day tut-tutting over the "Greek" backdrop. Waste of air.

20. There's been plenty of drama..
just not the kind they wanted to see. They wanted a implosion of the Democratic Party, and they got just the opposite.

23. I know I've been bawling like a baby all week..
tonight will be no different. I get the sense that the strain of the last 8 years is coming to a head for all of us.

25. I know, my head feels stuffy from all the crying....
my body feels like it's been run over by a truck. After tonight, I'm going to need 3 days in bed.
(I'm not complaining though, it's truly amazing).

26. Gee, I hope you're right! I'm exhausted.
I think that the opening scene should be dancers in white, flowing outfits sprawled casually upon the steps to the temple, eagerly awaiting their ruler to appear...at which time they break into a graceful ballet, running and leaping joyfully in and around the colonades.

The repugs would scream ORGY...ORGY....ORRRRRRRRGYYYYYYYY!

27. I'm hoping for the hand of Zeus to come down..
and smite George Bush in effigy..


Flying high in a chariot of fire
The hand of zeus guides my way
Looking down upon the lakes upon the earth
The fires bright, scorching flames

Long before we fought
The battle of armageddon
People died for their beliefs
Mounds of ruins for lakes of fire
Upon the ground
Armed to fight the mighty beast

Follow me into oblivion
I will guide you, you will see
The mighty hand that guides you
Through the sky
Now you know the beast must die

Hand of zeus
Hand of zeus will guide you
Hand of zeus
Waits to strike down with his hand

Fire burning bright, see the flames soaring high
You run but now must fight
There's no chance to turn back now
Your destiny has come
To grasp the hand of zeus to guide your way

His chariot awaits
You're the chosen one for the gods to climb
Climb towards the sky
Rise, rise upward take the flight
Armed to fight, a dagger in your spine
Bleed, bleed for the gods

Seek and you shall find your way
Chariot in flight
Look behind yourself to find
There's no turning back
Agony awaits the beast
And then you strip him from his pride
Victory is destiny
Unleash the almighty one tonight

Never fear, the agony awaits him
See the fire burning in his eyes
Never turn your back from the shame now
The hand of zues will rise

28. ROTFL - They would just reply..."Just look at the shameful drama"
If Obama would walk out in a toga, they'd shrivel up and die like salt on a slug. A business suit just won't cut it!

These scenes are going to keep me laughing the rest of the day.
