Following Kat's lead of looking at responses to Pastor Rick Warren's questions........This is my favoriteWarren: What's the most gut-wrenching decision you've ever had to make and how did you process that, come to that decision?Obama: Well, you know, I think the opposition to the war in Iraq was as tough a decision that I’ve had to make not only because there were political consequences but also because Saddam Hussein was a bad person and there was no doubt that he meant America ill, but I was firmly convinced at the time that we did not have strong evidence of weapons...

He wouldn't let me go get my camera or you would have had the lord and lady of Arrggh wrangling roosters, too.

I imagine it must've been a pretty tough job trying to keep a straight face during the rooster wrangling...

Hold up. This ain't no union shop and I actually had to trade WORK for posting privileges. I'm still trying to figure out how that works.

Peanuts? Hardly!

I regret that I am not at liberty to discuss the matter further. The whole non-disclosure agreement the Armorer has Denizennes sign and all. You understand, I'm sure.

Your credential is in the mail - and I'll double your requested pay!

And I'll ignore all that snarkage...

Mags... I've seen pics of the Armorer. I can't imagine the method of payment is in any way erotic or stimulating... but in *your* case, I can dream...
Yowzah!

Chopped Liver, I Guess - Don't you want to know *how* we pay our dues before you ask for half?

sheesh- I'll be there all day Tuesday the 26th, taking pics and experiencing the people show. I'd be glad to forward the pics etc if we can agree on contract terms- I want half of the daily dues paid by the Denizens and that is *not* negotiable!

It's sad when you're better off heading out to the People's Republic of Boulder rather than staying in Denver. I hope the mental health professionals at the conference stick around to help the citizens of Denver once the Dems leave. They'll need it.

Maggie ~ Obie's never made a decision in which he actually had to *face* consequences.

Just walking down the 16th Street Mall is kinda like a zoo. LOL

Comment from BillT on 2008-08-19

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:06:18 -0600

...but they've already reached capacity on the tours and no one else will be able to get in.

Kinda like visiting the zoo before the animals get there, isn;t it?

Maggie, oh so subtle ... not! LOL

John, fortunately, I'll be leaving this Friday before the activities really get cranking here, and I'll be tied up in meetings most of the days, but I'll see if I can venture out to get some photos of the Pepsi Center's exterior.

They're having a public open house where people can tour the inside, but they've already reached capacity on the tours and no one else will be able to get in.

I am surrounded here! Governor Patrick, Senator Kerry, Senator Kennedy and a sea of Obama stickers ....

And here I am in Denver, the week before the Democratic National Convention, at a conference for mental and behavioral health care providers who are overwhelmingly Dem supporters .... LOL

Obama stickers and buttons EVERYWHERE!

It took forever to get *down* here -- Fuzzy kept commenting faster than I could scroll and I kept getting bounced back to Day-By-Day.

BTW, Jean-Fraude Kerry is running out his "I was in Vietnam" plank for the re-election campaign -- I *know* you'll have fun with that...

BTW, I appreciate you taking a moment from your Fuzzy-spooling in the H&I Fires to come down here and pay attention to me.

ROLFMAO! This is all just too much fun. :D

Hence the link. Here in the good ole USofA we can click on the link and a nifty YouTube video from "The Passion of the Christ" pops up. So anyone in doubt as to my reference can watch it for a few moments and see AGONY and think "Oh, that's what she means."

You on the other hand have to - read - Shake keyboard upside down to get rid of some of the sand blocking the keys - scroll - read - click on comments - shake - type.............

You see where this is going, don't you baby? You are deprived and not just because I am not there.

The reference would be lost on Obie -- he'd think you meant "The Olive Garden" and call a lunch break...
