Alvin Lee Message & Discussion Board
Thanks for joining in the conversation!
Was just watching a bit of news, and laughed to see a featured British tabloid headline proclaiming "Mitt the Twit". He certainly hasn't endeared himself to his ancestral country with his recent remarks, has he? :-)
Ha ha... Good for Cameron! Romney is SUCH an idiot. He just CAN'T win the election...can he?? It doesn't even bear thinking of! Scary alert!!
You know what, Laurie - not only can he win, but the GOP could also take control of the Senate and keep control of the House. And of course, they have the Supremes. Obviously, I think this would be detrimental economically to everyone who is poor or working class (but really super for the ultra rich), but what frightens me even more is what it would do to social policies in America. Women's rights, gay rights, voter's rights all would be set back 50 years. It's terrifying to me. I have beautiful, bright young nieces and nephews (including one that is part, um, Asian (her dad is from India), and I don't want them to be faced with a repeal of the 20th & 21st Centuries!
No, no, a thousand times NO ROMNEY, Toni! "To bane, to bane, begane, begane, thrice take ye back from whence ye came!!!" ZAP!! Mitt WHO?? Cackle. :-)
Re: Thanks Mitt, I'm now officially interested in the Olympics
Well, at least he loves dogs..........OOPS!!
WILLARD??? How did I miss that?? The name has never been the same in some peoples' minds since that unfortunate '70s rodent horror movie about an evil, possessed (or whatever the 'h' was wrong with it) rat. And here I've been wondering what "Mitt" is short for! But not wondering too hard. I really can't bear to think of the guy at all. I can only hope my little banishing spell works in time! Heh heh heh.
The military junta running the country were not very nice people (forced labor camps, etc.)
The olympic committee denied it was made in Myramar until it was pointed out to them it was the same place as Burma (and that was on the clothing label)...just a different name. They then said, well everyone else is doing it...except some clothing manufacturers listed by them as "everyone else"...wasn't doing it.
2002 our US uniforms were made by the Canadian Roots clothing company.
If I were a reporter I like to ask our to see the labels on our indignant politicians, suits, shirts, underwear, socks, etc...or anyone else so righteously upset.
Bad PR for Ralph Lauren...tho US citizens pay nothing for our olympic atheletes...but beggars can be choosers too. Some genius with RL should have forseen something short of "thanks Ralph" for the free Chinese made uniforms.
In fairness, Willard was only repeating what he'd read in the UK papers....not popular for a foreigner to say tho. He'll not repeat that rare instance of what he really thinks.
Where your nightmares end, Willard begins....
Willard Mitten Romney...that kinda has a ring to it... not. Especially not at an inauguration ceremony in January 2013, cringe, if we all survive December 21, 2012! ;-) And yeah, B, I know that "mitt" means "my" or "mine" for a neuter noun in Swedish, instead of "min" for the rest. I have a Swedish ex, don't forget. Even if I didn't, I could understand a lot of Swedish from knowing Danish. And don't say a word about the funny "r"s paa dansk, OK? I've heard it all before, believe me! ;-)
James Pond?? Nevah hoid of 'im! ;-)
Willard Mitt Romney....I actually looked it up, seems they came up with Mitt as a shortened version of Milton, who was one of his uncles.
Now how did Mittens and Annie of "you people" fame come up with Tagg for one of their sons?
Or, in other pressing concerns, how did Death Panel Sarah and her first dude come up with Track and Trig?
