I wonder, HL, could Obama have worn a tie

[Mosiah]

other than a red or blue tie? How about a mauve, a green (not shower green) or a yellow tie?

Anyway, let's watch this off-Hollywood act.

[Mosiah]

"God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!"

You have to say those words at the end of your speech or you are immediately disqualified.

sigh

[HL]

Yes you have to say those words.

Notice no gun shat nevah fiyah, no bady got stab-up stab-up, everyone went home with their billfold in them back pocket.

That the America i love--with all it's short comings.

As to the tie, it was burgundy (sp) not red. Iz time you start to watch TV in HD

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

Oh BTW: How are things there? Hope it's not as bad as predicted. Make sure you hold on to your hat

yeah, the last time they had a PNP and JLP conference some 30 people were shot dead right in the arena!

the storm is turning out to be a complete nuisance. some serious waters are coming down and the storm is pretty stationary. so i expect some serious flood reports by morning. the light just flickered off for a brief moment while i was typing this. hopefully we won't have any power...there it goes again. looks like this might be a while before i can actually send this message. it is 10:43 right now. let's see when i'll be able to send this. okay, it wasn't too bad, lasted only about a minute.

[HL]

I hope you have enough 'ishen' to last you through the storm.....hehehehehee

(always wanted to use 'that' word. hope i said it right)

[Mosiah]

ishen? sounds like a 70's word.

if it means water, then yes, i think i saved enuff of that!
