today. Joe was offered either Secretary of State or VP by Obama, his choice. Everyone was shocked and laughing and she so, "well its true", and Joe said, it's OK, you're right it is true. I predict that skit will be portrayed on SNL this weekend.

I heard that this morning and almost spilled my coffee. sm
I believe that McCain has just shot himself in the foot, or like Joe Biden, has a bad case of "foot in mouth disease."
Yes, both should go and help out with the crisis in Washington, but then keep to the debate schedule. After all, a president has to be to able multi-task just like us.
The Obamarama campain is already making hay with McCain, his interview, and wanting to cancel the first debate, saying he is afraid to debate Obamarama, and other comments to that effect.
IMO I think McCain has committed political suicide. Hope springs eternal, but we shal see what we shall see.
Well at least sm and you had dogs and beans
We lived on soup given to us by a neighbor for 6 months. In return, hubby worked around the place for him (they were in their 70s). We would get a gallon of soup every other day. I must say, I did lose weight then.  Kids came first, then hubby, then me for the soup. I never want to be in that position again, but it looks like it may come to that. Thank heavens, I've been stocking up a bit. I'm no where near where I'd like to be food-wise, but better off than I was in the 80s when there was NOTHING.
Fava beans
Not so easy to find. May have to go to one of those boutique groceries, a Fresh Market, Whole Foods, etc. Grow in giant pods. I had a neighbor who grew them because her husband loved them. If you find a way to make them palatable, lemme know. As I said, big lima bean shaped beans, kind of squishy texture and a bitter taste. Nasty is the only impression I carry over the years. Oh, and for some reason, African blacks and people with Mediterranian ancestry can lack a digestive enzyme and that makes them very allergic to favas (it's called 'favism'). Go figure.
Yep, that's me. TMI (too much information). Yeah, I know, this belongs on the gab board. I promise we'll quit about the beans now, all you who are outraged by trivia here.
Actually, neither one means a hill of beans to me...thanks for trying...nm
There you go...hit on another favorite. Pinto beans...
fried potatoes and cornbread. Yum. Growing up that was a staple for us. And boy did I (and still do) love it!!
Yeah. bread and beans maybe? LOL (nm)

Oprah
My understanding is that Oprah is also a member of Trinity and a friend of Wright?
If so, why isn't she also in the headlights, along with Obama?
If so, why is she staying so quiet about this whole issue?
OR...
Did I misunderstand this about her?
Let me just interrupt my dinner of fava beans
and chianti to reply. What's happening in the market is called a hiccup. It will jump a little, drop a little, and bounce around. It does that when a president has a colonoscopy or gets a mole removed.
I would not start singing Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead quite yet (am I mixing movie metaphors?) because I think the overall trend will be gradually down over the long term. Let's see what a 6-month average has been in, say, September? (Now might be a really good time to divest....just sayin')
Never have had fava beans, but I have had a nice chianti
Although all wine is "nice". Fava beans have just always sounded nasty. I remember watching Anthony Hopkins interviewed on Inside the Actors Studio. I can't remember exactly what he said now but I remember him commenting on that specific line, and they were laughing about it.
Help, call Oprah. sm
There really is such a thing as a talking sphincter.
Oprah and Obama - sm
Just wondering how you feel about Oprah and her wild enthusiam and support for Obama. She confuses me. Sometimes I can watch her, sometimes I just cannot.
I used to have such respect for Oprah.

This is a debate not the Oprah program
let's not get our feelings hurt and ruin a good debate. No one is siding with sexual offenders, not in the least... :)
Oprah and Ellen, and Dr. Phil
are not in a position to force the rest of us to share our wealth, punish us if we do not, while keeping their wealth for themselves. Not a good comparison at all.
Oprah is on record saying that (even with her multi-millions) she does not just hand money to individuals who tell her they need it. Why should she think that would help someone who obviously failed to take care of their own money? They want money? They can go make it the hard way, as she has. (Then she supports Obama. Go figure!)
Obama is more like the minister who preaches fidelity, while having affairs with his parishioners. He's someone who says that to help public schools, all children should have to attend them (except his own.) Lectures on the evils of tobacco, raises taxes on it, while sneaking cigarettes. Gets his own sweet deal on a mortgage, supports the bailout of deadbeats, yet penalizes those who have been responsible with their money. Criticizes company executives for use of corporate jets, then flies on his own jet to Arizona just to sign a bill.
Get the picture? ''Do as I say, not as I do.''
you're mixing apples and beans, drug addiction
alcoholism and drug addition is nothing like religious fanaticism and/or religious extremism.....and/or genocide in Darfur and/or Kenya
he went to see Odinga not a month ago to try and broker peace there......and after he left Kenya, the genocide continued and continues thru now....
sand....head....ostrich.......
Oprah on child molestation laws...sm
I found this article on Oprah's website and thought this excerpt was powerful on the anti-child abuse/molestation movement. The underlined areas are links, please help out with this as you can.
*This is a full circle moment for me. For me to have been raped at 9 years old … this is so big and so gratifying that I now get to put people behind bars who did to me what they've been doing to other children. This is it. And so I am going to spend my own resources, and I am going to work with law enforcement, and I'm going to change, with your help, the laws in this country state by state by state by state.
We are not going to be a country that talks the talk about how we care about children, and then we let these people back out on the street. It's Joseph Duncan all over again. We have got to let Shasta Groene and all the others be the last children. Let their lives not have been in vain. Let's stand up, and change the laws.
Take a look at these accused child molester profiles, and see if you can be the next person to put a fugitive behind bars.*
Oprah calls O "The One". The man is a politician,
nm
I am very, very concerned too. Watch Oprah today?
Obama mainly voted for because ......
you're kidding about oprah and ellen, right?
You think Oprah and Ellen don't share their wealth? did you ever watch their shows and see how much they give to others? Do you have any idea how much they donate to various charities??
I bet no one is reporting the Oprah book clubs that gather
every week.
This is an attack against a Christian group, plain and simple. Once the Christians are sufficiently quieted, they will move on to the next group that threatens the reign of the government.
Should I report the Mormons down the street who gather every week?
Or what about the girl scout leader who has sleep overs all the time and meetings at her house once a week? And they sell cookies! That should definitely be considered a business!
Anyone trying to twist this around to building codes really needs to pull the wool off of their eyes. It's infringement on our rights, plain and simple.
Big brother is starting to look over EVERYONE'S shoulder. All of you who make excuses for it now, please remember this when they start infringing on your rights.
I wonder how long it will take before they stop letting returning soldiers gather together? Since they are also on the list of suspected domestic terrorists...
Oh and I remember how much the Jewish community down the street from where I grew up loved to get together on a weekly basis to socialize, eat, etc., wonder when they will be stopped?
I wonder how long it will take before we all have to sit at home with our thumbs up our butts before enough citizens get their heads out of the sand and tell government that enough is enough!
Joe Biden-Hunter Biden..so much for change
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/08/hunter-biden-joe-biden-anthony-lotito.php
Go Obama/Biden! I don't like it and will VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!
Obama has shown great judgment in the people who surround him. He picked a great VP choice, and his wife is impeccable as a helpmate and is a fantastic role model for the American children.
Oh MM, oops, I mean gt. SM
I think you have enough hate for the whole world. I'll leave that to you.
Oops!
I see they also accused you of being me (and/or others) in your more current posts using the ?? moniker. In reading your posts there, it was obvious you were sincerely looking for debate, and all you did was ask intelligent questions that should have led to an intelligent debate. Instead it lead to more personal attacks and name calling, without EVER once addressing the ISSUE you were attempting to address. I'm sorry you were treated so badly there. You did nothing to deserve their wrath, other than act like a normal respectful human being with valid questions, and they have little tolerance for people like that.
If you search further down on this board, you'll see where I attempted to debate one of them here well over a month ago. The person, who I was fooled into believing was sincere about being here to debate, clearly didn't have any responses, though she promised to respond later and never did. She had the golden opportunity to add something of value and continue the debate process I had begun, but she chose to ignore that and I suppose found more pleasure in insulting others, adding nothing of substance or value to this board, as they constantly do to their own board.
They constantly accuse liberals on this board of being heinous people, their most favorite accusation seeming to be how hateful we all are, yet I think they honestly don't realize how hateful they come across constantly. Or maybe they do. Who knows? 
Oops, try this one.sm

oops
that would be though they are all bad
Little Dem oops...
Y'know how the Democrats were so opposed to McCain's proposed holiday from the gas tax while gas was so high? Welllll....seems the Dem Nat'l Committee has not only been enjoying tax-free gas in Denver (site of convention), they have been getting it totally free on the front end because there is no signed contract in place to pay for the gas used (even it is tax free), they basically told the Denver mayor they were "good for it." Well, guess they can borrow from Barack if they get in a pinch...lol. The Mayor is the one who offered gas tax free...and seems the state of Colorado has taken exception to that, and the state revenue dept launched an investigation because that is a no-no...the state did not agree to wave the gas tax, and why did the Dems Natl Committee even agree to that when they had been totally against it for the rest of us out here struggling, even for a little gas tax holiday. LOL. Sooo typical. Do as we SAY America, NOT as we DO. Unnnbelievable. LOL. When asked about it, the mayor replied, obviously before having checked with the St. Paul people..."The Republicans are doing the same thing in St. Paul!" Well, number one, they aren't; but even if they were, that somehow makes it right? LOL. The Republicans were FOR a gas tax holiday. The Dems were against it. Well...except the Dem Natl Committee it seems. Heard a local Denver radio show talking about it. Seems not all Denverites, Dem and Repub alike, are impressed with this decision...go figure.
Oops. sm
I did research it...
His wife outed him.
Obama used the roundtable audience, as she did yesterday, to describe her husband's understanding of women's issues through the prism of the strong -- but sometimes struggling -- women in his life.
His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was "very young and very single when she had him." And, Obama added, he has observed his wife's attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.
"He sees me, his wife, who struggles every day with that guilt that we all hold deep in our hearts as women," she said. "That guilt that you don't have the choice to stay home, and even if you do, you feel guilty."
"He has seen me struggle with this my entire life," she added. "Trust me, Barack understands the struggles of women."
Exactly diametrically opposite from things that have been posted here today.
I don't think Sarah Palin, OR Barack Obama's mother, deserve this kind of criticism.
