Damn, that is one scary picture. Not that I am condemning, I leave that to the cons.

Haha sweet. How did you guys dig up my flickr account? The last thing I wanted was the other commenters to know about my Wednesday night “support group”.

So Rhayader, you the one with the balloons covering your head or the one in the blonde wig?

I would post more frequently if I knew I was not contributing to the RNC. Haven’t they done enough damage to last a life time?

I dont have paypal, I dont even use credit cards. I’m a cash and carry kinda guy.
Give my 100.00 to the troops
October 1st, 2009 at 10:15 am
micky, I dont know if you’re interested, but there’s a number of specific charities that help disbled vets (our favorite is dis vet charities). I can’t attest to what % of funds actually go to disabled vets, but I know it’s a 501c3, which I hope (if someone from irs reads this and knows it isnt true, please let me know before auditing) means that donations are tax deductible.
as always, kudos to all the winners. Well, done, mccain, getting a pic of lisab.

Arriba.
Sounds good, maybe the staff will take you up on that.
My preferance would be that it go those recovering from combat injuries.
I’ll leave it up to McCain and you to work out the details.
The way I type we’ll just have to assume that one of the armless maniquins is me ?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:54 am
Wait a minute, is that black guy shoving a cigar in her butt ?
It sure looks like it.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:06 am
very observant micky. I didnt realize there were any guys in the pic. I went to their web site and it says:
The mission of the Disabled Veterans Charities is to assist the disabled and needy veterans, their widows, and their dependents. We do this by operating thrift stores which make it possible to provide physical and mental rehabilitation, counseling, work and work therapy and training, and funds to sponsor such other charitable, veteran-related projects, programs, and endeavors as may be approved by the Charities’ volunteer Board of Directors.
The reason I told you is that I assume you’d get a tax deduction in mccain gives a donation in your name.
Also, I don’t know if anyone’s interested, but there’s a neat charity that donates books to servicemen and women serving overseas. They pretty much like sci-fi books so my wife ships a box to them every few months. I can get the name of it from her if this appeals to anyone.

I appreciate the thought Aribba. I’m pretty comfy and dont really need the write off.
Lets just give the 100.00 to the Disabled Veterans Charities, ask McCain if he can make it happen and call it a day.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:20 am
Congrats guys! Good on ya Mickey, Rhayd, everyone!
October 1st, 2009 at 11:35 am
Hey Micky, if it is, it’s a waste of a perfectly good cigar!
Funny lisab hasn’t commented yet, maybe she thought that picture of her would never surface.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:59 am
Micky, the angle of that cigar is completely wrong for your inference. It’s been too long for you, old man. We’ll do some work on our charities but Right Pundits is not a foundation! Maybe we’ll switch from the RNC to Micky’s idea. All of these take a little paperwork for the accountant.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
“maybe she thought that picture of her would never surface.”
actually the picture is pretty much like every picture of me in the peace corps — volunteers drink a LOT …
not as much as the british volunteers in the VSO, but … a lot. i remember when one volunteer said to me, “take my bra, take my bra!!!”
October 1st, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Micky:
Well I honestly fought I would of won this month, but you used the money better than I would of. Lisa and Rhayader should be ashamed of themselves. Honestly if I had to pick a charity it would of been St. Judes.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:09 pm
i am surprised you are giving money away to people/charities again?!!!
are you sure you are conservatives?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Yeah, us mean conservatives never give anything, only the soft, kind hearted Democrats. I mean, just look at Biden’s and Obama’s charitable contributions before they ran for president, they are soooo impressive.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Lisa and Rhayader should be ashamed of themselves.
Uhhh, OK then.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
“Yeah, us mean conservatives never give anything, only the soft, kind hearted Democrats.”
it is rather surprising …
good for you guys!
i was kinda impressed actually.
October 1st, 2009 at 1:35 pm
“Lisa and Rhayader should be ashamed of themselves.”
probably so … what did i do this time?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:37 pm
best quote of the day
“Michelle Obama: It’s a ’sacrifice’ to travel to Europe to pitch for Olympics. But I’m doing it for the kids…”
awwwwwwwww … i hate to travel to europe
the shopping alone is exhausting
October 1st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Wonder if Denmark can keep her?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
“Mrs. Obama said bringing the Olympics to Chicago is especially important right now because “athletics is becoming more of a fleeting opportunity.” “Funds dry up so it becomes harder for kids to engage in sports, to learn how to swim, to even ride a bike,” she said. ”
yeah … because the children in rio are doing just peachy
October 1st, 2009 at 1:49 pm
does michelle know there are countries outside of the usa and western europe?
October 1st, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Personally I’m rooting for Rio, Brazil is deserving of the games.
