I read that hearing it in the Madonna version, not the Patti Lupone version. It seemed to make it more real.

That does seem to characterize his relationships with women…

It takes less effort not to read than to post. I only say that because apparently you aren’t aware.

I’ll be more than happy to move on once Palin and the RNC live up to the campaign promise they made.

Normally, I wouldn’t care about a politician failing to live up to their promises, but political promises aren’t usually this easy to live up to. It’s a charity auction, political staffs organize events like this every day, and there’s absolutely no downside to anyone (other than Palin) for making it happen.

Are the clothes still on the Palins’ backs and asses?

you get two options:

1. either we stick with this, and bump this thread every so often

2. or we drop it for six or eight months, in which case you get to go “What? Are we beating this dead horse AGAIN???” all outraged and eye-rolly.

Of course, you right-wing nutjobs prefer option

1. when Pubbies screw the pooch in Macy’s window at high noon, we people avert our eyes and take a vow of silence.

Sorry we can’t oblige with your nutjobbery.

OK, I’ll bite. Or bump.

Hell, I’m Director of a non-profit. Give \*\*\*me \*\*\*the damn clothes and let me auction them off.

(And maybe throw in a moose or two. I’ve always wanted a moose. We’ve got room…)

Were any of the clothes designed by Siggi Churchill?

What’s the only thing worse than being killed by being anally raped by a moose?

Zombie Palin thread.

_McCaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains_!

So, anybody heard anything new about the missing duds, or should we just assume they were donated to the Palins’ family holiday celebration?

Or do we wait a few more months, because the holidays are an awfully busy time and you can’t expect people to go around giving out clothes or making donations and the like at a time like this. There’s egg nog to be drunk and halls to be decked, damnit!

A couple of my friends were chased by an amorous swimming moose as they paddled several kilometers down Pickle Lake in Quetico. One of them made the mistake of making a moose call at the wrong time of year. The call attracted the moose. Boy, did it attract the moose.
