Saturday Night Open Thread and cuteness break
Posted: January 26, 2013 Filed under: open thread | Tags: open thread, relax before the Sunday Villagers 11 CommentsTime for a break before the Sunday Talk Show Madness. You’re going to need to relax tonight because Paul Ryan will be on Dancin Dave’s tomorrow. Of course, Paul Ryan can’t do math or economics but he’ll discuss the budget anyway. It will undoubtedly raise your blood pressure so best to treat it now with a nice hot bath, a glass of malbec, or a good meditation session on a nice comfy mat. Guess who is facing the nation? ICKster Newt Gingrich and Marsha Blackburn will follow Diane Feinstein in a debate on gun control. Whatever made Newt relevant again? His moon base suggestion?? Thankfully, Marsha Raditz is filling in for George Stephanopoulos tomorrow which might make ABC with a view if it wasn’t an interview with omigawd … NOT AGAIN!!! … hold, hold, guess … yup … McBitternutz himself John “GRUMPY” McCain. Hopefully, Bob Menendez can hold off the yawns.
Okay … so, deep breath, relax, and here’s some music you may or may not know.
and now here’s your reward … the cute … these guys know how to relax!!!

That worries the hell out of me for my granddaughters. They have great parents but it seems like we are immersed in crud 24/7 these days.
I’m not sure if I eventually get grandsons or granddaughters but either way, I’m gonna hang in there with them and fight the powers that cause that sort’ve thing … any one with grandsons and sons need to off set a lot of society crap so they don’t treat girls and women so badly and so they grow up emotionally healthy
You have no idea how upsetting it is to see your son grow up to be just like his father….anti-women.
My son seems to be doing a really good job with his boys. They are thoroughly corralled.
My son is alot like you Ralph, so very supportive of human rights, and abortion, and every chance he gets, he debates the issues with such a passion. He has a daughter, and two sons. I myself try to stay on top of issues, but Friday I purchased stickers and card stock and valentine candies, so that their projects would be to make their valentine cards for classmates……………….the stickers came with balls for boys, and cupcakes and flowers in pink for girls. I looked over at his stack of cards and he put all balls on and no girls (flowers) on his cards………after a discussion he put both types of stickers on the cards. I don’t understand why do this with Valentines for 7 years old – they want to strike a difference because of gender. I had to remind grandson that his older sister was a champ at soccer, and the state university female team selected her this winter to practice with them indoors…………and she deserves the soccer ball too.
I have worked myself into a bad headache over the school vouchers from the last thread. I think I will avoid the Sunday “news” shows tomorrow and do some sacred laundry instead.
Heh. Personally I can’t watch that junk. I get my Sunday show fix from the gobshite post every week at Charles Pierce’s place.
Slate: How Democrats Will Win the Budget Debate
I agree with Matt Y’s take on the prospects of the Dems with Patty Murray in charge.
Funniest blog comment I’ve seen in a while.
“Sarah Palin is out at Fox News Channel”
Her and Jodie Foster in the same month. What will we tell the children?
Ha, that is a good one!
