Open Thread Wednesday

Just caught the raw video of 0bama next to the Great Wall…

He looks good in a Supermax!

not my favorite photo of Ms. Loren. It does show off her legs quite well, however.

I think the one of her checking out Jayne Mansfield's boobs is hilarious

Fact Check This, Associated Press!
"I think Obama's in a league with TR," observes historian and presidential biographer Douglas Brinkley. "He created his political reputation through the written word."
To be sure, no one has ever accused Sarah Palin, a defeated vice presidential candidate, of creating her reputation thusly. One has to wonder, then, why her book, Going Rogue, would merit a fact check by no fewer than eleven Associated Press reporters when neither the AP nor any other mainstream outlet has spent a moment vetting the books of the "author in chief," as President Barack Obama was anointed in a November GQ article, "Barack Obama's Work in Progress," by Tom Draper.

Sophia Loren is a godess! An incredible convergence of talent, beauty, intellience, and humaity. Her accomplishments are toonumerous to catalogue. And she still looks amazing. Thank you, Miss Loren!

Hahahaha
Can you blame her ?

And I thought it was fun that blonds have more of.

Former Vice President Cheney endorses Hutchison
Firing another shot in an endorsement war that is pitting prominent national and state Republicans against each other, gubernatorial candidate Kay Bailey Hutchison landed her most prominent backer to date Tuesday when former Vice President Dick Cheney formally placed his name in her column.
“We Westerners know the difference between a real talker and the real deal,” Cheney told a small but noisy gathering in the Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport. “When it comes to being conservative, Kay Bailey Hutchison is the real deal.”

Obama approval below 50 per cent for first time: Quinnipiac poll
President Barack Obama's job approval rating is 48 – 42 percent, the first time he has slipped below the 50 percent threshold nationally, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Support for the war in Afghanistan and approval of President Obama's handling of the war also is down in the last month, and Republican support for the war is more than twice as strong as Democratic support.

Survey finds only 43 percent would re-elect Obama now
Only 43 percent of voters surveyed by the Zogby/O'Leary Poll would vote for President Obama less than a year after he was elected, or about the same level of support President Clinton won in 1992 in a three-way race with the first President Bush and former EDS executive and national political gadfly Ross Perot.
Perhaps even more worrisome for the president is that only 37 percent of independents queried in the survey said they would support Obama. That figure appears to be consistent with exit polling following the Virginia and New Jersey governorship races which indicated a seismic shift among independents away from Obama and to Republican candidates Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie.

Did anyone watch the Prisoner finale last night?

SPOILER ALERT!

I thought I had its underlying message figured out, but now I'm not so sure. Initially, I thought the point the show was making was that there are people out there who can't take care of themselves, so socialism and communism is the only answer to what ills them. But then after that point is seemingly made by Jim Caviezel accepting the role of the new number 2, Curtis and his wife are shown in the real world, free and happy, while 6 and 313 are shown in the Village miserable. Then Caviezel comments that he thinks he could be the one to make the socialist utopia (aka the Village) work and make it right, perhaps meaning that many men think they have the answer to creating a utopia for everyone in the world and they have all failed. Perhaps that is the real moral of the story, individual freedom is a gift beyond reproach but the folly of man is thinking that he can fix everyone other person's problems (with a socialist utopia).

What say you?

I just read that a little while ago, great column.

Women don't get older
They age
Some more gracefully than others
She did get sexier tho

Looks like Sarah decided to come-out on the book tour with the big guns blazing- I love it.

Dear Leader must be freaking out…

LOL

man! how long did it take to come with all those titles? some of which were pretty good, btw. i think my favorite was "Le Mal Epoque"

Ta-ta envy.

obama also has a half sister.

I know
Sucks don't it

Hate might be too strong of a word, But I'm not too fond of the boobs currently running the country.

I wonder if Sophia's observation was the same as my own. That Ms. Mansfield appears to be giving that dress all it can handle.

You Obamaphobe
That is real cutting edge news
Alba is gonna be a new CZAR

And the teleprompter is part of the family now
They don't call it TOTUS for nothing

I was hoping for a Palin/Bachmann 2012 ticket…

Betcha the Moms would straighten out all the unruly kids…

"Nancy, yah, you betta sit right down here before I rap you one with a ruler…and tell Charlie and Henry I wanna see them right now, don't you know…"

And I'll bet they make it stick…

Hundreds line up in Mich. for chance to meet Palin
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – Hundreds of people are lining up at a Michigan bookstore for a chance to meet Sarah Palin as she kicks off her national book tour.
Some camped out overnight to be among the first to get wristbands Wednesday morning from the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Grand Rapids.

Looking at Sophia made me realize again that men aren't actually attracted to the anorexic standard featured in fashion mags. At her sexiest she probably weighed 130-140 pounds, with all that weight in the right places.

It just got too strange and bizarre to me; I managed to get through the first night, but I ended up bailing out part-way through the second, and turned on the game…

Maybe I'll try again to focus myself through it once again…

Caption: Damn!! Those things are real and spectacular!! Carlo can't get a look at these!!

How come the MSM is not telling us this ?

Sophia Loren…

looks like the set of 'Boy on a Dolphin'. Where she towered over the poor Alan Ladd. Anyway, we say:

Hubba times three…

I would have preferred she did not pull her face so tight that it looks plasticine. Woman age and get wrinkles. Her bone structure is perfect. She would have made a handsome natural older woman.

real men prefer real women

Sophia is what God had in mind when he invented Woman.

Holy. It even had me entranced – at least until the crowing. I may have to reconsider hosiery.

Ahem.

Obama has another half brother? He is visiting him while there? Is he a Uyghur??

I hope the Wall isn't peeved at having to play second fiddle.

Up until she got her own extreme plastic surgery. In my mind non natural beauties or handsoms should have an asterisk by their name.

Europeans have suave head's of state?

Sarkozy maybe, and that's because of his wife.

George Brown? Angela Merkel? Vaclav Klaus is probably the smartest person on that continent (possible exception of Pope Benedict – I've read some of his work, he's brilliant) but suave?

About damn time the rest of the country started doing what I told them!

Ass czar.

She is superbly qualified.

I look at the Columbia Pictures bolimic statute girl who must be Hollywood's ideal and I want to call 911; then I look at Sophia. No wonder action movies are making it big. Thanks for a picture of a real woman.

Alan probably had a nice view, though.

ho!

just good enough,one suspects…

Years ago, in the Best of Life, there was a 2-page photo spread. On one page was Sophia Loren and on the other was Marilyn Monroe–each was shown at her beautiful best. It sparked many a conversation over which guys preferred which girl. Both stars had obvious, ahem, assets, but the contrasts between them were pretty strong too–Blond vs. Brunette; Natural vs. Made-up; Foreign vs Domestic.

Yeah, you know what? I like that the Euro fools think we Americans are cowboys and I especially like it when our Presidents tell the world that this is who we are, like it or lump it. Like Ronnie Reagan did. Obama is a fool, an embarrassment and a disgrace and screw him for diminishing our great country in front of the whole world.

I first saw the trailer to that film was I was about 11 y/o, closing in on 12 y/o. My Dad and I were at some James Bond film and the trailer for Y,TandT came on with Sophia and I instantly knew that there was stuff in the world that I had not been fully aware of until that moment.

A Sling of Pells?

Wonder if Obama even recognized In The Mood?

I have no interest in another remake. I'll stick with Patrick MacGoohan. I was watching WWII in HD.

I have no idea. Apparently this is the brother who just wrote a book about how abusive Obama's father was and now this guy lives in China. Doesn't Obama have ANY relatives who actually live in the United States???? What the…?

Oh Momma! Sophia is hot! I just love that picture! And I have been in love with Sophia since I was a teenager and first saw her in "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow". Sophia Loren is still a godess and is probably one of the most natrually beautiful women of all time.

I thought it was a mimeograph machine–those things used to be messy–but you're right about the stencil. I enjoyed the episode too, and I thought it was very realistic at the end that they were all acknowledging that the pace with no technology was much more pleasant, but the second everything came back on line, they were right back on, clicking away like they just can't do it fast enough. It's too true in the world we live in.

I still have mimeographed items from the 60s from school.

The Mimeograph fluid had a distinctive aroma and us kids were not allowed to fill the machine or tank or whatever.

The stencil could take hand writing and type writing, but I don't recall it being able to simply copy an image.

Is there a difference between a "ditto machine" and a Mimeograph machine?

off topic – when my Dad's office was modernizing stuff decades ago, he brought home a Dictograph machine that you could voice record on. It recorded with a stylus on a loop of thin plastic that you inserted over 2 tension rollers that kept it taught. The stylus cut grooves in the plastic loop as you held this not small microphone and dictated notes to self or for your secretary.

Someone should open a museum of ancient office equipment. Maybe the success of MAD MEN will lead to that. Rotory phones, switchboards that you manually plugged in lines to make a connection, those hideous WPA steel desks and vintage metal desk chairs on wheels.

Too much.

Ya – your last line summed it up,
