Gosh, I'm talented.

Well, you are a child prodigy.

It did occur to me, with my husband out of town until September, that I'll be able to watch the entire season of "Dancing With the Stars" in peace. I can feel the brain cells dying as I type, but I don't care. Heather Mills! Billy Ray Cyrus! Mohammed Ali's daughter! And that guy from "Beverly Hills, 90210!"

Oh Lord.

I'll leave the Dancing with the Stars talk to someone else.

Jordan (my partner) watches that show religiously, and I can't stand it one bit. I end up sitting at the computer that whole hour because it bores the life out of me.

Off topic here, but since you're the only one around it appears ( ), I was just wondering what my life was like before I finally came over to Derby Trail. With the sheer amount of time I spend on this site sitting at work and then at home, HOW did I pass the time before this? I literally cannot grasp what it would be like to not spend hours here every day. Weird.

Likewise. What did I do with my time? I will hope nothing productive so I have nothing to miss.

Actually, I think I spent it on Bloodhorse.com, but now I do that AND get my racing education/fix here. And political discussions to boot. Truly, I am a lucky, lucky woman.

I know, I know. I feel slightly dirty about the "Dancing With the Stars" thing, and in all honestly, I've only seen five episodes in their entirely and they were all first season. But I looooooved them! So I'll see if I can commit to an entire season.

(And regardless of what my husband says, I remember him casting votes in the first season rematch between J Peterman and that girl from the soap!)

Which was a sham anyway. He lost. He lost. He lost. Then he won the second round and felt vindicated?

That's like us playing poker and you winning one hand, me winning the next and saying "SEE I AM BETTER THAN YOU!"

He was annoying. Things like that make me not like reality shows, almost like Taylor Hicks winning American Idol dampened my spirits last year.

At least if all else fails on these competition shows, there is always some filthy family eating raw meat, drinking curdled milk, and brushing their teeth with homemade butter and clay toothpaste like it's just the most normal thing on Earth on "Wife Swap" for me to watch.

Bless reality TV. It's all so wrong. But so yummy too

I'd like to see Darth Cheney on "Dancing With the Stars".
I think his heart can take it. If it doesn't....oh well.
Why is he ducking the show?
Dance Dickey!!! Dance!!!

RUSH LIMBAUGH??? REALLY??? I'm moving up in the world! The basic trouble with the liberal mind is that it thinks it speaks for everyone,therefore any dissidence must come from an inferior intellect. Patently false! But continue with the parade...I still love you guys!

Timm,
I like you...but love? Nah!
Now, if they play a cha-cha at the Blue Oyster and you let me lead....

Timm, for the love of God, stop digging. You've proved my point for me already. Any other cheap "liberal" shots you care to take?

Please find for me where I ever said Rush was stupid? Or are you just making up stuff that you'll then claim I said? Rush likes to do that, too, you know.

[GenuineRisk]

Well, Rush doesn't claim I in particular said anything, of course, as he has no idea I even exist. I was just generalizing, since Timm likes generalizations.

GR: my...you sound exasperated! I'm not digging...I make a simple little statement, and your claws are out? What part made you particularly vexed?? The part where I talk about the liberal mind? Folks on both sides of the aisle continue to pigeon-hole each other into the preset thinking...or is the MSM culpable for making the soundbite the weapon of choice? Same thing happens here. Rush is the showman....not I. I speak pretty clearly about what I think...I'm just not as verbose as some. GR: are you starting to feel bad about being a democrat? If so, thru careful indoctrination, I can pull you out of that "funk" you've been in. The offer's always there...Hurry now...you'll lose your place in the parade!

Timm, I find you endearing, not exasperating. Don't worry. I just find it funny that I said you automatically disregard something said by a Democrat purely based on their party affiliation and in your attempt to deny that, you threw out assorted cheap shots that just affirmed what I said. Which is why I told you to stop digging.

I'm always amused when people who will grossly generalize an entire group of people accuse the group they like to insult of doing the same thing. On some level, I think they know it's wrong to do, and so try to convince themselves that the other side is doing the same thing. I invite you to go through my posts and find any instance where I have ever made a gross generalization about all Republicans (other than them being much better at sticking together than the Dems, which isn't exactly an insult). I tend to attack individuals and their positions, not the whole GOP, which is more than I can say for most of your arguments. Likely, I assume, because you don't read the news that much, so you don't really have a clear idea of who is saying what in the Dem party.

So, Timm, what exactly do you think is the liberal mind? Rather than throwing insults, why don't you post what you believe a liberal thinks? Go ahead. We're all friends here (really, too- this is just political debating and I don't take it personally). What do you think liberals think?

What assorted cheap shots?? Methinks the Lady doth protest too much! The line about Dems' eyes glazing over as they talk of a Utopia??...ever seen Edwards speeches? how about "sandwich-board" Jesse Jackson? Don't tell me Pelosi's eyes arent a spectacle! How 'bout DNC chair Deans' ROAR??? Somebody stop me,please! I do read the papers,despite your slight, and even comprehend them. Of course, I dont choose to ferret out every negative thing as some do...hey..I got a life! I did tell you part of the liberal mind....remember who said this "We're going to take things from you, but its' for the best!" Hillary Clinton Liberals feel they're smarter than regular folk and they will help us all if only we would cede our thoughts and power to them. Of course all this progress is gonna cost us something...but the Dems have our best interest at heart! I have more thought on this analysis, but it'll have to wait! Cheers!

Timm,
Did I see the word "ferret"?
I never had one, but I'm sure the KFC/Taco bell in the west village could use a couple of dozen.
So, speaking of ferrets, have your been following how the vice-ferret has been received in Austrailia? Or the ultimatum the vice ferret gave to Karzai?
Now I have to do a search to find a recipe to put in the DT cookbook. I never ate one, but I'm guessing that they taste about the same as weasel.
Is there a tv show in the works...."Dancing with the Ferrets"?

[timmgirvan]

DTS: playing "word association" with you would be a trip! As for Mr Cheney, he did rather well if you take it all in context. Dont know about the Karzai thing, but I'm sure Karzai deserved it! Happy cooking....

Timm,
Just trying to keep it light.
Actally, ferrets are a lot like cats. They can be trained to a litter box, but boy o' boy! they really stink!
I'm making no association with the VP other than that.
Now...about cooking...tonight might be rice with a side of shrub smoked camel testicles. No ferret on the menu.

I apologize for assuming you weren't up on the news, Timm; it was you who said you spent your time on DerbyTrail and that was about it. My mistake for misinterpreting.

How do Pelosi's eyes have anything to do with what she's saying? Laura Bush looks like a Valium wife in most pictures, but I don't hold that against what she says (though I wouldn't blame her if she was).

Can you find me a speech in the last two years in which a leading Democratic candidate talked about creating a "utopia?" I've heard most of their speeches and that's not ringing a bell. And you've mentioned that word specifically twice now, so you must have heard it somewhere? So, who said it and when?

"Liberals feel they're smarter than regular folks." Oh my God. Could that be any more of a partisan hack line? Can you cite me any examples of any of the liberals here saying they're smarter than anyone else? Or is that just your own insecurties coming out? Come on, Timm; I don't think you're dumb, your comments about thinking wearing you out notwithstanding.

I Googled that quote you say is from Hillary Clinton, but it's not coming up. Can you tell me where she said it, since I'm not having any luck googling it myself? You wouldn't be misquoting, would you? Or making it up?

Timm, you can do better than these assorted sarcastic one-liners. Give me some specifics to justify what you hate about liberals.

Now whos's bating who?? Liberals' foggy minds have nothing to do with my insecurities, and I don't hate libs...they just irritate the hell out of me,that's all! They believe in entitlement, something for nothing, put the blame on someone else/duck responsibility! I never misquote and never do I make things up. What would be the purpose? The think tanks and Bloggers are great sources of info and quotes...you might try it there. I mentioned DT because you said I spent my time hiding in right wing chattrooms. Later

Timm,
I don't hate neo-cons either.
Heck, if there's irritation, it just might be about time to change the underwear. Gold-bond might help too.
Entitlement? Something for nothing? Gosh, it costs a lot to get your ferret elected. THERE SHOULD BE PAYBACK!!
My guess is that Halliburton, Rockwell, Boeing, Blackwater....on and on, those that put up the big bucks desreve a return for their investment, don't you?
This is a democratic republic afterall.
The "special interests" are by far much more important than the citizens, don't you agree?
If you're irritated, change the undies. March is coming.

So much drivel...I'll handle my clothing options,thank you! Always a secret consortium out to rule the world,eh? Yeah....nothing like that on the left,huh? Experts get paid to do the best job. You can squabble from the sidelines all you want...sour grapes! March? You gonna be in another March? I hesitate to venture a guess on which one. The Gold Bond will help then.

Timm,
How many more years do you think it will take for the neocons to get it right?
They've only had six plus.
Will it take yet another war, this time with Iran, to convince you that the "mission" has been accomplished?
Keep believing, my friend.
As regards marching, not for me. I saw what "free speech" was about when peaceful protest was confined to "free speech zones"...chain link confinement.
Oh yes, our liberties are protected.
Keep believing my friend.
Drivel is quite obvious. It's not mine. I'm a patriot, not a patriot actor.
So...has the invasion of Iraq been a success? Are you and your loved ones safer? Did you take off your shoes too before boarding a plane?
Keep believing my friend.
