It is very perplexing to me that, in the 21st Century, people still seem to worship PhDs and feel the need to subserviently call them “doctors”. I’m not saying that it is wrong, only that it’s so not up with the times. When I finished graduate school, a lot of the friends who went on for a PhD did so because continuing with whatever scholarship they had was less intimidating than venturing out in the real world for a job.
Yep…DB was full of shyte.
@Ratboy
beam me up Scotty!!!!!!!
Its the same everywhere Rats…Trust me when I was on those meds the other day, I visted every planet in the cosmo’s. It all the smae. Weird huh? whoaaa

Okay maybe Rachel is a political genius. Talented beyond all our comprehension.
The way she talks about the unborn is chilling. All the adjectives I used in my earlier post.
@Ratboy
I love using Olive oil, but it always gives me the runs
But I have to use it making my bread
@
Ratboy
I’m having Chinese.
I had chicken in italian dressing sauce GOOOOOOOOOOOD
So Rachel is a PHD but she is hosting a show on MSNBC………………….cant she get a job in her field EITHER????????
We don’t have enough water pressure, so the two will have to burn. lol(ralph talking about MSNBC stars)papa u compared Sen Reid to the psycho from goodfellows a murderer and terrible person Rat and Hillbilly constantly use cutesy names like dumbocrats mr Maddow mock phds which are hard earned and cite these unfactusal hate smears from right wing blogsites that have no real credentials and dont have to print facts.the News media are not a propoganda machine of vile vermin incompetent? sometimes factually correct? usually eventually Liberal? hell no not if u refering to the networks Diane Sawyer was a Republican Speechwriter, Greggory lets the Republicans on his show spout off and cuts off the rebuttals they are center right at best
Welcome back Coffee–we were getting worried about you. Haven’t seen Boss posting lately. Hope all is OK with him.
Hmmmm layoff from sequestration not going out for Lockheed Martin. Gov assured them that taxpayers will foot the bill for them breaking the law. How very generous of the government.
You spiked the water again didn’t you Rats?
layoff^layoff notices

No, Senator Reid really was the character played by one of the Smothers brothers. The corrupt politician. The writer wrote the character based on him.
@letmethink
Thank you, good to be back, I just got to doing things and we went car hunting, but decided just to keep what we have.
