West5 is good, I went to shadowland over the weekend and their menu for happy hour looks good. It’s not in West Seattle, but the melting pot up on Queen Anne has an awesome happy hour.

JoB — I have more dishes and a litter box if you need more relief.

I’m kind of horrified at the posting of that list at this point and the notion that it’s funny — first time I believed in the political generation gap.

I have two things to say:

since many of those people were victims of the relentless republican vendetta against everyone associated with Clinton, I, personally, would prefer to hold Ken Starr and his henchpeople responsible for their deaths. These people were killed by Ken Starr and the Republican Slime Machine.

Why did they leave off the allegation that the Clintons are intimately involved with the Columbian Drug cartel. First time I’ve seen that missing on this very same document.

NR, I’m sure no one on the Republican side will mind your reposting it — I’m a bit surprised that you want to, without at least some research.

Meantime, I’ll be looking into the history of the Bush family, starting with Prescott. I hope we all find it equally amusing.

Trying to get some ideas regarding “savory” treats for an event at work. We’re already doing mini cupcakes from Trophy, but for the people who don’t have a sweet tooth I wanted to see if I could come up with something just as special and I wondered if anyone had any West Seattle business suggestions.

Coming out on video on March 9th, I think. Can’t wait!

[charlabob]

NR, bingo — that’s exactly why I mentioned it — I watched it and then I read the day’s thread and I said something like “omigod”.

Is “Into the Wild” the Sean Penn produced outdoor movie? I hadn’t heard of it until the recent spate of ads, but I’ll look for it on your recommendation.

JoB — I figured the talking fish would be a hook for some people (I’m baaaad) and some others would watch in spite of them. They do kind of grow on you, and when you watch the director’s notes, you see their importance — for one thing, the movie would be much longer without them.

The point is, the video used in Clinton’s ad is from video that already existed (as shown in the post). That’s why you can easily compare and constrast between how the video originally looked and how it looked after it was doctored to appear in the Clinton ad. JoB, you are definitely very well informed and well spoken. You of all people should know that nothing depicted in a campaign commercial is unintentional.

The reason that so many people want to find fault with Hillary lately is that she has spent the last month desperately trying to smear Obama to save her campaign. She learned well from the Republicans that a large percentage of Americans respond to fearmongering and she used that tactic as a last ditch effort to save her campaign. And it worked!

Now it’s time for Obama to return the favor. She brought it on herself, so I don’t see why you seem so confused about the response.

Bonnie – This may be the perfect reason to get away for an afternoon for a little mom-re-fueling!

[Kayleigh]

villagegreen, that is despicable indeed.

And yet her supporters keep defending her. As if she’s more important than the party itself. She isn’t.

The idea that Obama will be picking his nose and twiddling his thumbs during important foreign policy meetings is a weak argument, and the Hillary campaign knows it. They’re playing a very dirty game, and it will come back to bite them in the end.

[JoB]

ok.. i followed this one too… and it appears to me what the daily KOS did was more substantial than any distortion i saw in that ad.

and correct me if i am wrong.. but i have seen video of me which does not correctly reflect my skin color or size.. in fact, i can tell you for certain that the video i gave the link to on another thread didn’t accurately reflect either my skin color or that of the correspondent that day.. there was too much natural light in the mall for the lighting they used… and the camera angle distorted my size..

and somehow though i am quite sure editing was used to make me look as frail as possible.. i don’t believe they bothered trying to make me appear fat or washed out.

You will obviously see what you are looking for…

but please tell me why you are spending so much time looking for some reason to vilify Hillary?

I have only to read the news to find the latest scandal which will eventually attach itself to Obama.. and should since his assessment of the people he surrounds himself with are a direct reflection on how he might perform in his job.

I haven’t seen that in a Clinton commercial…

but don’t think that it will escape McCain.

Saint Hillary? give me a break.

[andrea]

Yea, Happy Day of Birth Jan :) I hope your day is fabulous. The sun is even shining for you!

[Bonnie]

I love planning get togethers but unfortunately I can never seem to get away from my kids. (love em, just need to get away form them!) i’m sure you’re not looking for someone who drags their kids along. LOL!

[JoB]

beachdrivegirl…

i am sorry i was so testy… but that list upset me so much i had to go wash dishes to calm down.

you are too young to know what that list means.. but for those of us who are old enough this is the vilest sort of political chicanery.

if nothing else, it should serve to warn you about what will actually be coming should Obama get his chance to face off against McCain.

This list is a litany of human suffering, but the most of the suicides on that list are particularly tragic.

What this list does not point out is that most of those suicides on that list were the direct result of political witch hunts against the Clintons.

These are people who did nothing more than have the misfortune to somehow be associated with the Clintons and who were pressured unmercifully to reveal even the tiniest scraps of scandal against them. They were literally blackmailed (i know, sometimes they called it plea bargaining) into testimony that was edited by the prosecutors to be damaging.

Many of these people took their own lives because it was the only way they could avoid being party to what will eventually be revealed to be one of America’s uglier political scandals…

and i am not talking about the Clintons but about those who hounded them and hundreds of innocent people.

James McDougal died of heart failure which certainly wasn’t helped by the stress he was put under.

I could go down the list name by name but that would only fill me with too much sorrow for even my puppies to give me joy.

These are for the most part innocent people who got caught in the crossfire of the ugliest politics i have ever witnessed… and to be a party to this list in any way is shameful to any American… democrat or republican.

I’ll give you a pass for being too young to really know… but there is nothing even remotely funny about this list.. and passing it along in any forum is tasteless.

Kayleigh, if you thought the ‘3am’ ad was guilty of the Republicans’ favorite pastime (fearmongering), then check out this Clinton ad which has been summarized in a post titled “Clinton campaign making Obama ‘blacker'” here: http://www.dailykos.com/ (about half-way down the page).

The original video of Obama face has obviously been darkened and stretched (horizontally) in Hillary’s commercial to make him appear blacker – darker skin, wider nose. Her campaign denied having anything to do with the commercial, but in fact, it can be found right here http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/145.aspx on her own website.

Unfortunately, smear tactics are a part of every campaign (or at least the vast majority), but when she starts playing the race card, e.g. circulation pictures of Obamam in native African dress (insinuating that he is Muslim) and manipulating his image in her new ad to make him appear “blacker”, she shows herself to be exactly what she purports to be against – win at any cost, fearmongering, Washington as usual.

No doubt McCain will use similar tactics if Obama receives the nomination (that’s expected from Republicans), but Saint Hillary who always speaks of sticking to the issues and taking the high ground using these tactics is despicable.

san…you know Pam? I was there, too…small world, huh…

[JoB]

i wouldn’t normally choose a pic with talking fish .. but i will try it if you say so…

[JoB]

beachdrivegirl.. you were offended by the clinton 3 AM ad and felt it damaged the democratic party… yet you pass along that drivel as though it meant something. who is ruthless now?

do you really believe any of that crap?

if this is the high road.. give me politics as usual any day.

[JoB]

beachdrivegirl… a net gain of 4 still keeps her in the race…

If America’s democrats were so overwhelmingly behind Obama she would be finished.

Kayleigh.. where do i start? It couldn’t be that her add highlighted that a person of experience might be who you want when the s… hits the fan?

This race isn’t all about Obama and what makes him look good or bad… although i get that it is for you.

It is not her job to make him look good… she is not in the race to be an end game set up for Obama. This is a campaign.. not a personality contest. She is not his running mate… they are fighting it out for the chance to become president.

This is politics.. pure and simple. Obama and his campaign have been indulging in the same tactics. His letter with a truly biased viewpoint on her stand on NAFTA is just one example. They are both ruthless. they are politicians.

And if that ad plants suspicion in anyone’s mind that they might not want him on the other end of the line when trouble hits… then maybe his candidacy isn’t such a great idea after all.

Hasn’t it occurred to you yet that this subject is going to come up again if and when Obama meets McCain.. and it is not likely to be so tastefully done.

If you are offended now.. you are going to be righteously livid when McCain’s campaign gets through with him… they won’t be pulling any punches and his lack of experience won’t be the only thing they use. they will find a way to use his color and his parental background against him.

I don’t know what you think the democratic party is Kayleigh, but that add didn’t betray the one i have belonged to for the last 35 years…

it is clear that it offended you.. and it may have offended others as well… but it didn’t betray any principle i hold. And i am quite clear about my principles.

We live in very frightening times Kayleigh. The presidency isn’t just about presenting a “uniting” figure to the world.. or “signaling change”… (though i am not sure at all how a black man is more change for this country than a woman)… it is also about that middle of the night call.

America needs to be thinking about who is going to take it and what they will do next.

And as a candidate, it is actually Hillary’s job to point that out.

You keep thinking that there is some high road in politics… and that America would be better off if candidates would just follow it…but i have seen good candidates fall right off the end of that road more than once…

Toughen up if you want your candidate in the white house.

[beachdrivegirl]

I am leaving it up to you all to tell me when and where to show up…cant wait!

[beachdrivegirl]

Oh no, the funny thing is I did get it from my dad who is a Republican supporting Obama. I am a Democrat. I was not trying to use right-wing BS but I found it to funny and had to share it… I dont mind if you repost it and i am sorry if i offended poeple out there… .

[Anonymous]

Uuummm, what’s wrong with that?!!? I second that idea.

Actually, I think the last get-together was at a bar.

[Anonymous]

It sure is scary, though, to see that. Nearing November, if it’s McCain/Clinton, do you mind, beachdrivegirl, if I re-post that? Lol! From your friendly Republican.

[westwood]

beachdrivegirl–if you are complaining about superdelegates, I assume you are an Obama-supporting Democrat.

So why are you reprinting a bunch of Republican crackpot conspiracy theories about the Clinton’s killing their opposition.

Oppose Clinton if you wish, but don’t use right-wing BS to do it.

[Jerald]

I don’t know this stuff either, so have a probably dumb question or two. We have several networked computers, plus kids (our own and visitors) who use wifi in our house. Does the IP address vary depending on which computer I’m on? Is it attached to me personally or does everyone in our house have the same?

[san]

Congrats Pam!

Your wedding was beautiful. :)
