This whole clip is fabulous, full of great jabs at Obama, Harry Reid, and the Senate as Newt weighs in on the Payroll fight. But the part that I thought best encapsulated the arrogance of what is going on right now in Washington was when Newt characterized what Harry Reid and the Senate has done by passing the Payroll Tax bill and then leaving Washington:

Harry Reid is a totally partisan Democrat who arrogantly leaves – they pass a bill and leave the city! By what right does the Senate decide that they are the definers of America’s future and they leave?

"[Obama]'s had no government experience." Awesome.

When Newt is on, he's on. It's this potential in Newt that makes him head and shoulders above Romney. Again, Newt is certainly not my first choice, nor my current choice, but he is certainly not my last choice either! I will take Newt Gingrich, baggage and all, before I vote for Mitt Romney and Barack Obama!

Oh man! I forgot...we just picked up some Glen Livet the other day!!! I will be RIGHT back!

Ey! Dona want to forget me Scottish laddie! :-D LOL I don't know about the shine though NY, the closest thing we had to that here was a couple of years ago he made a nasty stuff from fermented corn, to trap varmints. It was far from the good stuff lol! If we hear of any from his "back home place" I'll be sure to give you a yell and the both of you can sit on our porch and get silly! :-)

I wonder if High Fructose Corn Syrup can be fermented to make Moonshine, or do you have to go through all the effort with the real corn? Seems much easier using Corn Syrup! But I can't even drink Bacardi 151 (not a drop), so I don't see Moonshine ever being in my future!!! LOL!

I'm not sure Brian, but I have chickens here, and we keep the feed in a metal garbage can to keep varmints from getting at it. Well the year we got a couple of tropical storms and Hurricane Wilma, it was flooded here big time. Water got into the can (even though we have it up on blocks just for that purpose of keeping the feed dry) and WHOOOO BOY! NY might have been able to smell it out his way if the wind had have been right. It smelled about 200 proof! Lord, it stunk! So I do believe you need real corn.

I went through my young and stupid phase, and thank the Lord He put up with my stupidity and still kept me from killing myself being a stupid drunk. I can't stand the smell or taste of anything much anymore... makes me sick. But once in a blue moon I'll have a drop or 2 of Jack Daniels with a Dr. Pepper. I'm sure I just about made a bunch of the guys here gag with that combo, but it's not half bad. I can't take the stuff much at all though. So you're good with me staying away from it.

Growing up in the country back in Canada- drinking is one of the few activities left during the cold winter lol- speaking of Bacardi, there was a Bacardi plant not too far away from us, so we got it fresh ;-)

I know that all too well.. Good for us! You'd better not get drunk anymore either or I'll come out there and kick your hiney! ;-)

My turning point was a HORRIBLE night after drinking. You know those nights where you're really sick, the room's spinning, and you're puking. And between heaves you cry out "Oh Lord, please help me! Please help me! I promise...I'll never drink again...*heave*...Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh *heave*..." LOL! Well, I meant what I said! I haven't been drunk since! LOL!

AmericanborninCanada

LOL!!! The memories... or lack there of... exactly! I think the time I truly knew I had to stop drinking was when I drank myself sober one night. Oh man...

That bottle collection looked a little like mine! :-)

Brian Jones
Brian Jones

I was a bottle collector! In that picture of my dorm room on my facebook page (those are only half of the bottles for that month or so), there was 3 bottles of Crown Royal (2 BIG bottles)! And I also loved the bags! I never figured out why though! Hahaha, I just noticed I had a bottle of Mad-Dog up there too (I have NO idea how that got up there :-D)! Oh man...memories (or lack thereof)... :-D

AmericanborninCanada

LOL- The thing I loved about Crown Royal was the little purple baggie it came in! Those made GREAT bags for holding toys in! It's funny that you mention that. I used to work at a dirt pit and one of the truck drivers was originally from Canada. We got to talkin' about "back home" and he mentioned Crown Royal, and he always brought back a couple of bottles when he went up. The next time he did, he gave me the bags!! It was so sweet and funny! They were the first one's I'd seen since I was a kid and pestered my dad to give me them.

I really never was a scotch drinker- mine was the rum and wine coolers (OH YUCK!!) and when I went to university, I used to drink kamakazes. Those were good!! When I moved to the states, I drank the odd Bud (US beer is less alcaholic than Canadian beer) and Jack Daniels. But, like I said, I can't barely tolerate any alcahol anymore, which is a good thing..

Brian Jones
Brian Jones

Yep! We had a Budweiser plant in Grand Forks! And boy was there a LOT of drinking! My favorite was Crown Royal and Coke, and my buddy always drank Jack Daniels and Coke! I can barely tolerate the smell of alcohol anymore, but for some reason, this Scotch seems like a splendid idea...with a Coke chaser, of course! I'm such a wuss! LOL!

That's amazing....they went home early and the bill they want so badly hasn't even passed. How is this not all over the media....the Democrat Senate has gone home for the year and there is still no extension of the payroll tax cut. The House should revise the bill and send it over to the Senate as quickly as possible. They should demand that they come back and do their job so that the POTUS can sign the bill. It's in their hands and they still have the power- they had better not fold.

LOL NY! Thank you! I was telling my husband that I needed to buy some peas just for this kind of thing- broccoli is good (better than nothin) but still kind of bulky. Seems to be helping, lol on the stutter- I'm freezing over here! God Bless you my Italian brother! You and your family Have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Couldn't agree more! Honestly, his biggest selling point for me IS his position on family values and pro-life. And I LOVED how he addressed the terrorists coming through Mexico. But at the same time, he is a bit whiny sometimes, and he needs to start coming off as being more...involved (that's probably not the word I'm looking for). Most people don't want a one-trick pony (I personally just want a president that gets rid of abortion and restores family values), so I really hope he begins to elaborate on ALL the things he wants to do, not just one or two.

Ooo, ooo, I just thought of another one! When Obama is speaking, use RIGHT-ON...apply directly to the forehead, RIGHT-ON...apply directly to the forehead, RIGHT-ON...apply directly to the forehead! LOL!

Hahaha! Thanks man, I'm really trying! I've been a real Sourpuss the last few days. I've been in HORRIBLE pain for a few weeks, and it's just getting to be too much lately, so thanks for letting me know that it's working! I'm sure the painkillers are helping my humor as well! LOL!

I REALLY like your list! For me, Santorum's on top of the list, but I also feel as if he sets his sights too low.
