That is hilarious! Bravo! Obama is definitely all the above: boot-licker, ignoramus, etc. He’s quite the embarrassment to those of us that remember much better times.

“I’m a better political director than my political director”

And so does his wiseness blame Arizona’s 15th congressional district on the fools he hired, or the fool who hired them?

My mother best friend wore mink to the circus once (she was flirting with Jack “Murf the Surf” Murphy, but that’s another story). Sat in the front row and got severely retrominged-upon by a tiger.

And some sort of lynx did me the same at the Washington Zoo once. Was no accident. He stared intently at me for some minutes before turning around and pissing a Zorro sign on my chest. We wandered by the same cage forty five minutes later and he did it again.

I console myself that he was probably asking me to marry him in cat-speak.

Where was Kathleen Parker during the 8 years of Bush bashing? I didn’t see any whining about incivility then.

Portuguese drives me nuts. It sounds like a retarded Frenchman speaking Spanish. My Dutch-speaking brother has the same problem with Afrikaans.

It’s ‘Mundo dos Licores’, which is no doubt where you came unglued. This does indeed mean ‘World of Booze’.

The puddle would definitely pool behind. I can’t see Obama as being anything other than retromingent.

“I used to feel kind of bad, poking fun at The One.”

For God’s sake, why? Probably the biggest contributing factor to the buffoon’s narcissistic personality disorder is that he hasn’t been made fun of nearly enough in life.

And Войска ПВО, I am SO stealing that “cephalus maximus” bit.

Submissive urination, Stoaty?
I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on him if he were on fire. I doubt I am alone.

It may have been Spanish, which sounds similar to the ignorant (e.g., me), but I lived in a largely Portuguese neighborhood a the time, so I assumed.

The one line I remember hearing over and over was an ad for “Mundo dos Liqores” — which, Babelfish informs me disappointingly, is neither Spanish nor Portuguese for Liquor World. I don’t know what the hell it is, now that I’ve looked it up.

We also had, for whatever reason, a high proportion of Cape Verdeans in our neighborhood. Interesting people, them.

Glad to hear the B&B arrived. A Brit friend was in Chi this weekend; I asked him if there were systemic problems for this sort of thing. He told me that US Customs will seize anything with meat in it, even if hyper-processed and hermetically sealed. But I guess they missed this.

Portuguese radio in New England? I know a little about the Portuguese community there (mainly, that it exists, which most Americans don’t know).

There’s a 1950 movie called Mystery Street, with Ricardo Montalban as a small-Massachusetts-town police detective… Which seems odd till the character is explained as Portuguese-American, i.e. out of that community.

What I didn’t know and am surprised by is that as late as the 1980s (I’m guessing that’s when you started modeming) there were still enough actual Lusophones around to support a radio station.
