Comments on: Why Don’t They Buy A Clue? https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/07/11/why-dont-they-buy-a-clue/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:57:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/07/11/why-dont-they-buy-a-clue/comment-page-1/#comment-46976 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:57:56 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=10024#comment-46976 In reply to hipparchia.

Semaphore is a little short on punctuation, and even if you use the Morse equivalents there is no exclamation point, so the “attention” signal was my solution.

when i first saw your message here i was sure it couldn’t be what it should be, since you had 5 signals and not 4, but i didn’t recognize the ‘hey!’

I rather expected that, Ellroon, having seen kids around here who like they had been rummaging in the back of their grandparents’ closets.

The wingnuts are frothing because it means that the Obamas are now openly empathetic and shit and want peace like that John Lennon guy with the circle glasses who sat on a bed and sang songs with all those other long-haired freaks who went to San Francisco and almost brought our great nation to its knees over Vietnam which we lost because nobody wanted to go over there and fight for whatever it was the government said we needed to fight for and that means the Obamas are going to stop wars and hold hands and make our economy collapse.

Or something….

I didn’t want wars or nukes and have a fairly low regard for anyone who thinks either is a good idea. Wars and nuclear weapons are symbols of political failure, not success. While winning World War II was great, having to fight it was not.

As a former babysitter I know from personal experience that attempting to reason with a ‘tween’ is a waste of your time and will normally result in hard feelings all around. They are touchier than two-year-olds as the hormones begin their “magic” and a wise parent is the one who can guide them without their catching on to what is happening. It is a good time to haul out the baby album and remember what a wonderful child they once were.

If the girls her age in Italy were wearing those tops, she would want to wear them too. It looked like retro ’60s, which may be the “new thing”. Why would anyone care who didn’t own Hannah Montana posters?

Is this supposed to attract attention away from the Ensign or Sanford soap operas?

Well said, Bryan!

WTF, they didn’t have any infants to steal lollipops from? Keepin’ it classy, GOP! (For a definition of classy that includes wife-beater t-shirts, cars on blocks in the front yard, and guest appearances on COPS, that is).
