had to rain on everyone's parade. If someone had just bought a home of their own that they were so proud of, she'd point out that it was in a questionable neighborhood. If you brought in pics of your new grandchild, she'd tell you his ears were asymmetrical. Finally got 'MT-of-the-Month' because you typed the most lines? She'd say it was because you all all the easy dictators that month. Finally buy a new car? She'd insist that it rated lowest on the crash-tests. Just got a facelift, and finally back at work looking 20 years younger? She'd insist she could see the scars.
Pretty sad, huh? Those kinds of people have so little going for them in their lives, that they have to torpedo the happiness of all those around them. And unfortunately, this profession seems to draw that type like flies to road-kill.
Well, no killjoy rightwing biddy is going to spoil this day, and our exciting, YOUNG! new administration for me.
Am I going to wake up tomorrow morning with a better job? No. More money? Nope. But what I AM going to wake up to tomorrow is a President that I can finally be PROUD of again. And it's been far too long in coming.

lady, get OVER the
obsession with EVIL and read some policy papers or something.
not all all - first lady is not an
elected position. They basically serve as glorified housewife. Clinton's experience comes from actual work experience with Nixon impeachment, Children's Defense Fund, and on and on and on.
Are you serious, lady?
It's okay because THE TASER WAS TURNED DOWN TO THE TETING SETTING? Shame on you! I hope you don't have any children. If you do, I hope somebody gets them into protective custody and soon!
OT but this lady is hysterical. sm
I found like 9 clips of her and my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

I saw her. The lady has guts too!

thought it was first lady's
job to swap baby photos and serve tea to foreign dignitaries - not VP's.
Maybe they should investigate this lady

Not concerned about lady-like
concerned about being able to eat through the winter :)
If I was Prez or first lady...sm
The way I look at it, the Obamas will have more help taking care of the dog (they can be a lot of work!) and also, IMHO, the girls are old enough now to have one and learn responsibility.
Off topic, but if I were in White House, I would follow in Calvin Coolidge's footsteps: He had 6 dogs, a bobcat, a goose, a donkey, a cat, 2 lion cubs, an antelope, a wallaby and a pygmy hippopotamus. 
Dream on, lady.

Fat lady starts her song!
You know it has to be pretty darned bad when virtually all you see on the left-wing blogs is searing criticism of Democratic congresscritters. And I have to say, I absolutely agree with them. I'm still partial to progressive values but let's face it, elected Democrats are worthless, and have been since 2000, if not long before.
I have to wonder if that's been part of the plan all along, and if there are not much larger forces than the RNC focused on literally destroying America, her political system, her people and her former glory. With Alito's confirmation it's a done deal. The right can yuk it up all it wants and assume a smugness off the scale - but they don't appear to be aware that it's their nation too that is being dismantled. What is their powerful, pushy, money-grubbing and quasi-criminal majority party without a strong minority to watchdog it?
There's only one answer, and it is bad news 99% of the American people.
So let the fat lady sing over America's flag-draped coffin. Enjoy the song, enjoy the carnage, pop the champagne corks - it's all one big party now.
The Dragon Lady, so I hear sm.
The GOP claims McCain is getting 70% of the Republican vote. That is beyond scary (a nation of sheep). I will wait and see who Dr. Paul endorses, and go with the 30% remaining true conservatives to form our own party. Maybe with a joint effort between independents, greens, constitution and libertarian parties we can get rid of this 2 party monopoly and these neocon cretins.
As the SNL church-lady would say, "Well now...
Not.
dont believe the gray lady -
NYT. CULT alert. Only accept information from Faux news as true.
What a gorgeous folksy lady
I believe this lady is a cutthroat politician. I bet she is aiming for the presidency at some point in her political career.
Please people, vote with your wallet in mind. People with no money have a small voice.
Just saw a lady on tv admitting to be with ACORN

Give the lady her prize, She got the-----
Congratulations! One box of brand new light bulbs will be coming your way.
Do looks really mean this much to you, I remember a grand lady, not much to look at but OMG
The woman was Eleanor Roosevelt. To say she was nothing to look at was an understatement. Very homely looking but what she accomplished which made me think of her when others are talking about looks. Do looks matter- what about a person's soul and heart- does that not count for anything now?
My stepmom worked in Washington during WWII. She saw Eleanor Roosevelt several times. She told me about how Mrs. Roosevelt would board a pubic bus and say hello to the people sitting there, not pretentious at all. I remember her later when she was working at the United Nations as a delegate. She became one of the greatest women of the 20th Century. She was an humanitarian and civic leader (among other roles). She worked for the welfare of youth, black Americans, the poor, and women, at home and abroad. She persuaded her husband to create NYA which gave financial aid to students and young people. She worked closely with the NAACP. She visited the troops overseas during WWII. She was a leader in human right efforts. What she may have lacked in looks she certainly made up for it in her good deeds.
didn't like either first lady's outfit
However, I think the outfits looked nice on them, I just didn't like them. But it's rare that I like such formal "older" outfits.
but they briefly showed Cindy McCain and I liked hers.. she seems to fit her clothes pretty well.
Very beautiful, very classy lady. (nm)
The lady from Africa should go back there......
It doesn't say if the lady from Africa is a "legal" citizen or just here on a Visa but either way, the hospital administrators should be ashamed of themselves for letting this one person dictate NO patriotism toward ones own country!!!
That lady have every right showing a flag in her office; the American flag is a symbol of this country, its freedoms, all it stands for. The lady from Africa obviously needs to go back to Africa and stay there. She has no patriotism to this country, just here to work like so many others, without an ounce of care for this country at all, except to make a buck.
We have a serious problem in this country when anyone asks anyone else to take down an American flag!!!
small message, church lady...
The most significant thing to me in the entire video is "Vote your conscience." That speaks volumes.
He also had time to meet with Lady de Rothschild...sm
Oh yes. He urgently had to get to Washington to work on the financial crisis! Riiiiightt! -
>> You remember her, the lady who called blue collar voters "rednecks." McCain thought meeting a beautiful filthy rich member of royalty was more important than focusing on the economy today. Yet he now suddenly wants to cancel everything to focus on the economy. >>
You mean supporters like that lady with the B self inflicted on her head? LOL!!!!!
pathetic!
We have a president, a first lady, a first family and a first puppy.
Evidently one he would have us all uphold. If I were one of his daughters, I would never forgive him if he didn't allow me to share that one moment in time. More to the point, I believe he will be doing his best in the next 4 years to diffuse the fear you are now expressing.
She is a nice eloquent lady....until she starts...
with the "rabid Republicans" type comments. Not necessary to take potshots to impart information. Fact is, I like GP. We are from the same part of the country and have a lot in common, believe it or not.
As to Obama...look. I had concerns about him during the campaign. Those did not just disappear *poof* when he won the election. I still have concerns. I don't trust him. His first choice for his administration did not make any strides toward trust, in fact, made me even more concerned. I asked if the real Barack Obama would step up, and he has. Maybe the next choices will be better. Time will tell.
the black lady didnt call anyone a name!
what are u talking about? and what does Harlem dumbells mean? Is this person referring to a dumb black person? That is how it is sounding to me. If that is not what the comment means, why doesnt the poster clarify this?
Well, she is a pretty bitter lady.........she ain't happy
--
Is that coming from personal experience? Perhaps you should actually LISTEN to the lady.....
Don't personally know JTBB, but after reading her posts and references fully the past couple of months, she has much balanced wisdom and irony, along with that intelligence. Personal digs are okay for the Pubs?
The attack on this lady is an obvious political issue....

Religion doesn't belong in politics, Church-lady.

German Lady Sees Obama and Recalls Hitler...

That could work, PK.
but hey where do you work now
exMQMT? if you do not mind that is. Thanks!
Sam, please let me know where you work.
I am an excellent MT who would love to have enough free time to post messages on this board all day long, but the companies I work for require me to spend most of my day transcribing. I would love to find a company who would allow me the freedom that you have to spend hour-after-hour posting to my little heart's desire. Please point me in the right direction, as I would love to be as free as you are to repeatedly force my opinions on everyone who reads the MTStars board. You can e-mail me if you would like to keep this confidential. I want to be just like you!!!!!
no thanks, does not work for me.
I will never agree with you no matter what you say or do on this board -
As far as taxing rich democrats, I remember President Clinton objecting to not being taxed and coming forward that he was against that from the beginning.
{You really think it is fair for those who have been successful to redistribute their money to other people? Be punished for success? I do not get that mindset}
- hey you are trying to convince someone who is older than 50 that I do not deserve anything for my hard work for some 30+ years, not going to happen.
I am from the days when employers had to pay you what you were worth, health insurance, full benefits, etc etc. You will never ever convince me I am better off just by repeating it over and over.
Sorry, not interested in any how, any way or, any time for rich corps to have the right to make me work twice as hard for less, so they can send the majority of work overseas to avoid paying people decent wages or by contributing anything except by their own will to anything in this country at their own discretion. If I am forced to pay taxes, they should be also.
trickle down theory, what has trickled down to the middle class but hardship, suffering, back to slave labor and poor working conditions...
Sending work overseas and all the side-effects from that directly affects me and my family and our quality of life.
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice - not.
I have done all the work.....all you have to do

Not quite sure how that will work
but I think he meant that they would look at the value of a house and renegotiate the mortgage based on the new value of the house since values have gone down. That way people aren't upside down with owing more than their home is worth. He isn't just going to buy up and pay for these mortgages.
I know who most will have to work for
The government.....sadly enough. That is socialism for ya!!!!!
And those that do not work get all of BOTH of
@@
Won't ever work
It's not the law-abiding hunter gun owners that you have to worry about. The bad guys will always find a way to get a gun, just like drugs. It doesn't matter what kind of law there is in place. Those laws just punish the rest of us.
I don't know how this should work......nm
Then the whole responsibility would be with the people.
okay .. i have to get to work
you want to research it
the one I am talking about was posted the day after the election
and it was changed on saturday or sunday ...
the site I saw the images posted has archived that and I am not sure how to retreive it.
believe me or not, it is your choice.
and this "change" is just another reason I remain skeptical about the future administration.
peace out ..
work on your
excessive focus on what "they" think and do. Spend more time on what you think and do. Works everytime.
What I work on...
Working 2 full-time jobs 90+ hours a week, excessive focus on paying my own bills and staying afloat. Not much time for much else but sleep. Truth is truth, the reality is what it is, you know.
do you work in the
overused cliches department proliferation section?
If they don't work....(sm)
then they obviously need help making them work. Hence....funding.
You are probably right. SOME MT work may
