Hey everybody, took a little break from news and politics. I fooled around and fell in love. I’m too old to have this happen to me.
Does anyone here enjoy a good train wreck. I will keep you posted. This story is going to end badly.
Matt, you need MANY lessons. You are disgusting.
Please save all of your ugly adjectives that you’ve labeled for me for MSNBC and CNN and the mainstream media journalists that aren’t trying to find out the humiliation Ambassador Stevens suffered when he was calling those in the Obama Administration and they ignored him except some very brave Navy Seals who disobeyed orders from this Administration and went and tried to help the Ambassador/a fellow American and they lost their lives because of it.
The only organization trying to get at the whole truth of what happened to Ambassador Stevens and the three other Americans is Fox News and they are being mocked for it.
So please save your indignation, or whatever it is you’re spewing towards me, for the so-called journalists who don’t give one hoot for the horror that our four Americans went through because of the Obama Administration and them trying to “politicize” this whole ordeal.
The only thing MSNBC and CNN and the main street media journalists are interested in doing is fawning all over this President. And you’re being okay with that is what I consider DISGUSTING.
Papa:
Enjoy it!!! I LOVE falling in love. I haven’t done it in some time because of — I don’t know. Hmm. Interesting. Anyway, your post made me remember how wonderful it is.
I love that one saying:
Dance like no one’s watching,
Work like you don’t need the money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
I think that’s how it goes.
I’d say have fun with it and do your best to avoid the “train wreck.”

I was waiting for that 66, thanks
Congrats S.Papa! Love to read some positive news! Let me know where I can send a bottle of champagne to your next romantic dinner.
Thanks Jeff if things end badly I can always blame Bush!
1966:
I love that song and video!! What a way to start the day.
@BevAG
I could not stand that song when it was popular in 1976 it was played so much but it’s the type of song that grows on you.
It does grow on you!! lol And it’s so perfect for Papa right now. I’m so excited for him….and giggly. Dang, I haven’t been giggly in about a decade. lol
Papa, congrats on your new relationship. There is nothing like that feeling, the first rush of love after such a long time.

s. papa if it doesn’t work out you can blame this.
It’s like being 14 again, only with out all the bad skin, voice cracks and tripping over your own feet.
Hey Papa, didnt you read that I just made the divorce official with another huge check leaving my hands? There is a moral to the story you know!
good luck and be happy!
Transparent my A$$!
The open-and-shut administration
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-open-and-shut-administration/2012/12/03/0fe12754-3d9f-11e2-ae43-cf491b837f7b_story.html?hpid=z7
The Washington Post Published: December 3
“My administration,” President Obama wrote on his first day in office, “is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.”
Those were strong and hopeful words. Four years later, it is becoming more and more clear that they were just words.
On Monday afternoon, open-government advocates assembled in a congressional hearing room to ponder what had become of the Obama administration’s lofty vows of transparency.
“It’s been a really tough slog,” said Anne Weismann of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “The lack of effective leadership in the White House, in the executive branch, has really made it difficult to have more significant progress.”
This is so sad!!!! This is what Fox News has turned into? A little bit of racism with no research?
Ablow then gave his take on the popularity of “Gangnam Style” — “The meaning is it has no meaning” was his exasperated view — apparently missing the fact that the song is actually a bit of social commentary, poking fun at uptight residents of South Korean’s wealthy Gangnam district. But O’Reilly seemed to think it had something to do with the nefarious powers of the Internet.
Why talk about something with NO research whatsoever? “it has no meaning”? What idiots. Oreilly and his “doctor” friend went on to say the song was “without intelligible words”. Keith Ablow on Oreilly went on and tried to compare Psy’s starting to the movement to Elvis, Bill O’Reilly cut in, saying, “His songs had words“, and added, “This is a little fat guy from Pyongyang or someplace“.
“has no words” and “without intelligible words?”……uhhhh ,it’s a different language? This sums up the whole FN station, spouting out nonsense with no research at all. Funny stuff.
RedBarSoup:
I saw that segment on O’Reilly. I agree with you. He should have done more research. He and Ablow were way off the mark.
The next day O’Reilly did another segment on Psy and Gangnam style. In that 24-hour period I’m sure he got more information and them again much more reasonably. So I’m figuring he got “educated.”
I think Psy is totally awesome and I love his video. I’ve even learned the dance because it’s great exercise and fun.
I’ve seen O’Reilly once in awhile talk about things and he’s wrong. I sit there amazed that someone on his production team isn’t in his ear telling him he’s wrong. Then within the week I’ve seen him correct his position.
At least I know O’Reilly will listen and allow himself to be corrected if he feels he was wrong — maybe not on that day’s segment but usually within the week you’ll see him correct himself. For that I respect him and watch his show religiously.
