….I would hope…

…insiders have become entirely TOO insiders…

We had this little German guy named Dieter–we called him Wee Dieter–who used to take care of our lawn. Had to fire him for attitude problems. I tried to get him to fill in some bare spots, and he screamed, “Bin ich Jesus? Wächst mir etwa Gras aus der Tasche?” I found this new guy named Lon Moore that I can really push around.

Philip’s motto is sense and simplicity, so that name might not work for you..

“I have read every blog on all the topics that have been posted on redstate since I first began receiving it.”….that’s impressive

“I was entangled in the debate over my choice of usernames”…I’d like to have more ‘repartee’ on this subject. Usernames are tossed around in far to cavalier a fashion…it creates confusion and anymosity. I’ve threatened to quit Redstate a few times for their lack of action on this issue. I would love to see a diary with your thoughts on this subject.

As a matter of fact I have. I have read every blog on all the topics that have been posted on redstate since I first began receiving it. There were a few comments that I didn’t agree with, but for the most part, I totally agreed with what folks had to say.
As for “writing about himself”, I suppose I should have given a bio on my profile but after my first few comments I was entangled in the debate over my choice of usernames and I completely forgot to do that. I will do it posthaste.
And I apologize for my use of the phrase “don’t ya know” but you hear it a lot in the NW though it was not Mrs. Palin who coined it but Tina Fey on SNL. Mrs. Palin did use it in jest a few times but her conversations are not filled with homey little colloquial expressions. She is well educated. Achance, you certainly can attest to that I am sure.
And $pecialist, I am happy to learn that you have Jesus on your lawn.
If you ever need a lawyer, I’d be happy to introduce you to mine, his name is Jesus.
BTW, my daughter approves of you calling me Philip. But she said it should be preacherphilip…..
My time at the keyboard is limited today as I promised my two beautiful women that I would take them to breakfast and then shopping for a new dress for the younger one. She has a piano recital tomorrow and needs a bit of female confidence booster. And nothing does that better than a new dress!

and why are you sending him a link about the dude that mows my lawn?

I’ve seen folks get off to worse starts here than you, and then end up being valued contributors. You can do it too, if you want to.

Hazing…hmm, do you do that to everyone? Hazing was not a custom when I went to university.
Please tell me what part of what I said do you consider “wackiness”??
My daughter wants to tell you about the mission trip that I took her on to Kenya. Perhaps I will let her put that into the diary.
BTW, my given names are Francisco delAmonte Philipe’ __
How very strange that you chose Philip!!

you’re almost through the hazing but your wackiness is making us skeptical

Express yourself through diaries so we don’t ruin other peoples blogs…I promise to come visit them, Philip

I am sorry that the discussion went from Kennedy to user names. It was quite interesting to read the comments as they pertained to Fat Teddy’s legacy. Even though the number of comments was limited to just a few people, I was amazed at the differences of opinion.
In October 1979 I had the opportunity to attend mass at The Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle in D.C. To our surprise the mass was celebrated by Pope John Paul II. As I was part of a group who were attending a Christian conference, we were introduced to the Pope. He was a gentle, soft spoken man, full of grace and humility. Senator Kennedy was there as he often was when in D.C. He was still married to Joan at the time. She was there as well. And they were of course at the head of the receiving line and as the Pope entered the room where we were waiting, TK was never silent, his constant talking and ego slathering was annoying to everyone including his wife. When the Pope entered and was escorted down the line and introduced to each person, though many of us were not catholic, we all were in awe of this great man. But TK, with the same audacity and self imposed greatness as Michelle Obama displayed when she touched the Queen of England, reached out and touched the person of the Pope. Only because of who he was, was he not thrown to the floor by the Pope’s bodyguards. As they had stepped quickly between Pope John Paul and TK. The Pope never stopped moving along the line nor did he look at TK.
Kennedy was attempting in his clumsy and self-serving way to establish some sort of connection that he could use to his advantage. There were 9 of us there together who were not catholic and he somehow knew who we were, where we were from and he took a moment to touch each of us on the hand and pray for us. Later, I read somewhere that TK had indeed had a private interview with the Pope and I always wondered what was said.

BLOOCH, you win though I never expect a contest or a confrontation.
May God bless you all.

By the ’80s I was living in Alaska, all dressed up, and voting Republican.

And I declare you the winner…

I guess he thought that just being stupid and obnoxious gave him some special cred here and he was testing us to see if we could be open, tolerant, and understanding towards a speckled bird. Wonder if he picked up the analogy from Roy Acuff, The Bible, or from reading about multi-culturalism. I’m willing to bet he thought none of us would know the analogy because we’re not as cool as he is.

political repartee’. He bet you guys wouldn’t stay

on topic & would attack the speckeled bird within 24

hrs. You guys did both. I lost!
