I was trying to figure it out by focusing on the wannabe senator rather than Hiawatha being a male. <br /><br />But we have to be careful when we say bad things about her. She might send her taxi cab driver over to beat us up.

But I'm used to that because, well, I can't help myself. I love puns. So any other form of humor is a step up from there. <br /><br />c andrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-79546185835770170762012-09-08T18:07:58.738-06:002012-09-08T18:07:58.738-06:00Sorry, c andrew - but unfortunately, that kinda w...Sorry, c andrew - but unfortunately, that kinda went over my head.<br /><br />Liawatha and Fauxcahontas (nicknames which I think are cool but, unfortunately, cannot take credit for originating) refer to the assertions she has made for decades that she is 1/32 American Indian - a claim that has since been completely demolished. <br /><br />As to her sexuality - not sure I get it. Does she come across in a Janet Reno sort of way? I am afraid I never watch television so the only impression I have of her demeanor and how she comes across is through brief YouTube clips posted on various blogs. Based on those, the impression I have of her is that she reminds me of a girl I knew in elementary school who was a somewhat annoying Miss Goodie Two Shoes type.Dismukehttp://dismuke.org/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-16959977161322434122012-09-08T10:01:44.676-06:002012-09-08T10:01:44.676-06:00Dismuke wrote;

We're registered in Massachusetts and according to <a href="http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781452.html" rel="nofollow">InfoPlease</a>, we'd have to be registered in MO to vote there by the fourth Wednesday before the election. <br /><br />Where we'll physically be by then is in some doubt as Mrs. Van Horn doesn't start her job in Missouri until December and I may or may not have a job there to start as early as September. Depending on Missouri's registration requirements, we could end up having to vote in MA regardless. Assuming we could meet their requirements (e.g., we just need proof that we have a place there, or something easy like that), we could well have a choice.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-3396817899408642432012-09-08T05:46:52.294-06:002012-09-08T05:46:52.294-06:00So, with your upcoming move, have you decided yet ...So, with your upcoming move, have you decided yet whether you will be voting against Liawatha's (a.k.a. Fauxcahontas) bid for Scott Brown's seat - or whether you will hold your nose like you have never held your nose before and vote for the gaping primate running for Claire McCaskill's seat because it might just be the one needed to take the Senate majority away from the Dems and make it more possible to repeal Obamacare? Or, because of the timing, will you even have a choice between the two states?Dismukehttp://dismuke.org/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-84847031424054738662012-09-08T05:02:50.694-06:002012-09-08T05:02:50.694-06:00Houston, being subtropical, had all manner of spor...Houston, being subtropical, had all manner of spores and pollen that many people would become allergic to over time.

Eventually you will become allergic to Missouri like the rest of us (no kidding; I had a doctor tell me that, once). <br />Several years ago when my son was about 18 months, I had gone over five years with nary a cold or flu or anything except a poor night’s sleep. I was getting pretty smug, in fact – feeling invincible you might say – I felt like a teenager, all over again. Then my wife found a job and my son went into day care. I spent the next 18 months as sick as a dog. <br />My preliminary conclusion: Day care makes you sick.<br />But it passed. I’m feeling much better now. And getting older just means you get sick less often (due to accumulated immunities to life’s little parasites.<br />Steve Dnoreply@blogger.com
