  1. Reprinted, somewhat collapsed.

    p>”I want the Presidential election to be over.
    And I want someone — anyone — to beat Mike Huckabee. Even Mitt Romney.” – Will Yes

    <

    p>”A Democratic Nominee people can truly rally around and feel good about.” — Political Inaction  Almost overwhelmingly Yes.  As a president-elect, not quite as much.

    <

    p>”Impeachment / 911 truth” — Lasthorseman  No. (definition of
    “truth” may vary)

    <

    p>”(1)   A Democratic President that will fix what’s ailing the Bay State and the United States at large. Hopefully on the way.
    (2)   An end to our illegal, messy, stupid, immoral, unnecessary and wrongheaded war on and occupation of Iraq.  let the Iraqis deal with their own affairs. No
    (3)   Here’s  hoping that the necessary 2-state solution, which is the only safe, sane and sensible solution to the decades-old, festering Israeli/Palestinian conflict emerges and comes into fruition. Feels further than before
    (4)   Here’s hoping our presently-tanking economy gets back on track. Hah
    (5)   Here’s hoping that we get better weather soon, and that spring comes early.  Yes
    (6)   Here’s hoping that some of the golden-oldie-but-goody  movie classics get back to some revival theatres.  I begrudge sitting home and watching movies on TV, except for occasionally, which is why I don’t own a DVD player, let alone one of those ultra-fancy home-theatre systems.
    (7)  That more screenings of my alltime favorite film, West Side Story come to my general area, and even to neighborning states.  God, I love that film.  I recently saw the movie Romance and Cigarettes, which I enjoyed.  While it’s certainly not West Side Story,  it’s definitely worth seeing, imo.  Same can be said, imo, for Gone Baby Gone and No Country for Old Men  Next on my seeing list is Atonement.” — mplo

    p>”I’d love a BMG gathering I can actually attend – I keep on missing them whenever they happen for some reason.”
    by: afertig  Did you come to the concert?

    p>”In order to prevent the risk of spontaneous human combustion that is imminent on the diary known as Rules of the Road Revisited, it is my fervent wish that all parties concerned–who, I might add, have carried the load bravely–yield to the accumulated weight of all that is decent and let the whole thing, well, expire.  

    <

    p>And the years is only 15 hours and 5 min. old.  I’m sure there will be more wishes concerning people who reject my reality in order to substitute their own, but, heh, that’s all I got right now.  

    <

    p>I can see the end of your Vice Presidential aspirations from my house.” — lightiris  ??

    p>”Well, I HAVE one = a new laptop! That doesn’t weigh 10 gazillion pounds! As for the rest, besides the continuing and/or improving health of my kith and kin…well…Daivd, you know what I wnat – but I’m not going to spoil your day off!  :~)”

    p>”I admit to one thing:  Despite some differences that I’ve had with afew posters, I’m somewhat curious to meet some BMG posters.  How do the gatherings get advertised?  I’m new here, so I don’t know.”

    <

    p>The guys put on a hell of a show for Obama…

  2. And I had the only GOP candidate in MA to beat a Democrat (a former Rep. to boot!) in my ‘land’.

    <

    p>I worked hard for Mitt, and he didn’t get the nod.  If he HAD, esp. in view of the economy, we’d be planning a diferent inaugural.

    <

    p>Sooo…my own efforts, tiny though they be, went well.  And maybe NEXT time, they’ll listen to me…
