Apparently, 60 is the new 50.
What an inspiration for Boomers everywhere (as Bush 41 is for seniors)

i'm going to be fifty this month...send gummy bears - lot's and lot's of soft green gummy bears...
50 is the new 40. :)
40 is good :)
that reminds me of a story...
p.s. my sweet husband is going to be 42 tomorrow! he's a fox also.
Happy B-Day for hubby.
thank you, john >^,,^<
What does POTUS mean?
(of course, OTHER than president of the United States)
prisoners of the universe suck?
people of trial use sodium?
picked over teeth use skoal?
somebody stop me!
pitiful old tykes using syringes!
poor offended theologians unite separately...
"poor offended theologians unite separately..."
United Separatists???
You don't need a leader...
We don't need a leader...
You're all different...
We're all different...
NOT me...I'm the same.
nanc,
Scintillating wit
Kelly,
You speak of the politics of Christian denominationalism, I assume.
I must admit my ignorance in the field, although I am sure your observation is devilishly clever.
I must say that GW is looking sharp for 60.
He looks pretty good to me. I am firmly convinced that being POTUS would probably kill me within a matter of hours.
people of the universe subside.
probable optimists terrorize union separatists.
i'm the same too, kelly! praise G-d i wouldn't be anybody else!
thank you douglass. and my mind is still sharp as a bowling ball...
I was quoting Monty Python from the Life of Bryan. So, I can't take credit.
Though the movie is quite sacreligious, the lines are rather funny.
My Dad has recited those lines at many a family gathering.
is john off on another fishing trip?
people offering the usual sweets!
He is likely on vacation. But he has a knack for starting a topic and then letting it run its course.
Nothing like starting a conversation and then leaving the room to let your guests talk it out.
At least this time it wasn't a fire that he started.
I still think he's amazingly handsome for being 60. =) I adore my Bushy.
Republicus needs somebody to keep up this place.
He should invite kelly and nanc to housesit.
welllllllllll, for a small fee...i come with some baggage...
okay, john - the president is now 60 and 15 days...
John did say he was going to be taking it easy this summer. He could be on vacation.
THIS IS a vacation! i take one every day!
i hope he doesn't miss my 50th birthday this week! which is big news...
Doesn't look a day over 59! ; )
Hey homies (Kelly, Irina, Nanc, Dana, Phelonius, douglass, Warbucks).
anon v said...
"Republicus needs somebody to keep up this place.

Yeah! Make yourselves at home and keep things alive while I'm away!
Hope you are all well.
J.
yeah, well - my husband got caught in the vice presidential motorcade! while you were vacationing!
Nanc, is that like getting something caught in your teeth. ;)
John, next time you leave us to house sit, leave us the key. ;)
On a sad note [off topic]:
The search for a local 5 year old girl has ended in tradegy. Victim discovered in home of neighbor
I need to go cry.
"John, next time you leave us to house sit, leave us the key. ;)"
you got it mate.
kelly - sick people everywhere you turn these days. people who prey on the most innocent are extremely ill and like a rabid dog, need to be put to sleep posthaste. they are defective, not by nature - but by choice. of course it had to have started somewhere and perhaps his parents should be held accountable also. there is no punishment harsh enough for this animal.
Nanc, this animal hasn't even had contact with his family for several years.
i hope john is off preparing my 50th birthday article! hehehe! the way my memory is going - i'll awaken tomorrow and forget it's my birthday...
oh ya, Nanc, that is what he was up to all this time. ;) 50th birthday parties are a lot of work.
Happy half century girl!!
rub it in, kelly, rub it in...now where's that ben gay?
ha!
50 is the new 40. ;)
bbs...
Oh, I already said that up there...
Well, it's true. :)
Hey John,
Does this mean you are back?!
Pretty soon 100 will be the new 80.
No, not back yet.
kelly - bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
thanks for the birthday wishes, john - of course, i'm much older than i was last week WHEN IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY~!
I thought Republicus was about production.
I thought wrong.
Ok really. Where the heck are you? There are major political upheavals going on up here in CT and you're not around!!!
hey all, he's on vacation. He's been working hard all year. We wouldn't want him to get burned out now would we?
He needs his R and R before getting back in the ring.
So, why are we waiting around for John to discuss political/world events?
Let's start with the conflict in Israel. I know Nanc shares my views on the subject. How do the rest of you feel about it and why?
i think somebody needs to photoshop some silver sideburns onto the potus as he's aged quite a bit since this was posted...think i'll go contact reuter's for that guy's phone number!
anybody catch the headlines at drudge today?
At Nanc's request:
the updated picture
I think with more time I could do it more justice...but we get the picture.
thank you, kelly, but i also have a little more silver in my own hair since my birthday...
i wish my husband would take a month off - jeesh.
the prez will need dentures before john gets back!
hehehe!!!
p.s. - kelly? you work for reuter's?
sorry, Nanc, no job at reuters.
But I do have a great copy of Photoshop.
Hmm...how do you portray dentures?
How about a few more gray ones coming out the ears??
i don't have a denture in my mouth! several thousand dollars in crowns though - and being of native background, about the only place i'm thickhaired is my nearly waistlength head of coarse hair. and it is quite silver.
Excellent. Consider this a coffee house of sorts for now...
Kafir, I hope to make it up to you in the near future.
just curious, what sort of job allows someone to take over a month off? and where may i get one?
So, John, when you get back, we sure would like another pic to look at when we come to your blog ;)
Not that we don't like Bush...we do, but we have tried giving him more gray hair or whatever...it still doesn't help that we see the same picture whenever we stop by.
I go on a sabatical and come back and everybody else is on one now. Geesh, can't even get your head clear nowadays without losing touch. :-)
Okay, John, looks like the guests all left. You know where to find some of us.
Let us know when you get back.
you're welcome at my place, kelly.
(that's right John, I'm giving you incentive to start posting again)
C'mon John. You can't truly say that the leftists beat the gumption out of you can you?
I hope you are enjoying life, actually, and I do very much understand the need to get out of the mode of arguing with (sometimes) pretty uninformed people. Still.....I do find the time to write about every two weeks or so for Salmagundi......
Maybe I could talk you into posting about the up-coming elections? Or dog breeding? Or something??
I will check back later amigo.
I want to echo what phelonius has just said.
I would also like to know if you are OK. I am sure there are others who feel the same.
We liked hanging out in here because you seemed like a decent guy with a great head on his shoulders. Do we miss you? You bet we do.
Thank you. I miss you all, too. I'm fine--but I'm still away and have inconvenient PC access...
Good to hear that you are doing well.
We wouldn't know if anything happened to you.

i'm beginning to not miss john anymore...
now i must go feed the potus his pablum...
"Out of sight, out of mind," or "absence makes the heart grow fonder?"
John, who are you??
I seemed to recall something from the distant past...but it's all very hazy right now. ;)
Oh I KNOW!!!
You can't talk to us because you are a...a...a in ...in ...incarcer....incarcertaed...
THAT'S IT!!
;)
he could be outside space.
September 19, 2006 (Really late at night),
Nanc, do you mean "outer space"?
How about Mongolia (OUTER)??
I decided to bring a weed whacker with me today. Even the grass is growing too tall for a mower to get through. It really could use some dusting inside, but the door is locked. It sure would be nice to hang a different picture of Bush on his mantel...don't ya think??
Perhaps John could add the two of us to his blog so we could decorate a bit.
after supper, 092306 - first day of fall and the end of the first day of rosh hoshanah - happy new year!
tomorrow is our baby girl's 14th birthday! happy birthday evan!
John,
We all hope you are doing alright. If you decide to come back give us all a nudge.
btw, John, You can't quit yet...
You still haven't used my chimaera. I won't have you going back on your word.
So, John...on a search of the word clinton on your blog I find an entry more recent that this one...but it is somehow invisible...what happened????
Hi Kell. I've got a lot of backed up posts that haven't seen the light of day because I haven't had the time to finish them--I've been away for four months but will return to my Arlington HQ in time to vote...
...and hopefully get back in the groove.
I am guessing that those secret CIA missions to overthrow Hugo Chavez, infiltrate the government of South Africa and force Isreal out of Lebanon have tired John out. You just cannot be a secret agent and keep up a web-site anymore. What is this world coming to?
i'll let bargholz know when you're redeye to make a comeback.
btw - have you ever googled or yahooed him? dang, he's good!
hey, John, we all want to know what ":)" is supposed to mean.
If ya want us to help you out when you get back to the blog you might need to extend well, some persuasion.
Happy Thanksgiving, John!
Thank you Kelly. Same to you and your family, and to everyone.
I guess you have no intentions of returning. :(
who will let us know if you've succumbed - well, so we know what kind of funeral to give you...
it's almost christmas, john!
i have a new blog - you can get the addy at kelly's.
At the very least...John,
Have a Merry Christmas!!!
Can ya tell you are missed?
by the way, John, if you google "john" , "republicus" and "blog"...the very first entry is MY blog.
Something is wrong with this picture.
CHRISTMAS PARTY AT LONGRANGE!
122206
first day of winter and last day of chanukah.
good new year to you, john, wherever you may be.
Hey, John, Have a Merry Christmas!!
It was good to see you stop by Nanc's blog. She had it on preview mode so it was confusing.
I hope you have a very good New Year, as well.
Take care.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, JOHN!
01/01/07
Thank you Nanc. Happy New Year to all.
Happy New Year John...I am a couple days late on that...hope it's off to a great start.
Hope the new year brings you back.
Thank you Kell.
okay - okay - okay - this post is now officially six months old - what next?
i sure hope kelly and i get "most dedicated" poster awards.
Nanc, Indeed!
John,
At least let us know how you are doing.
i have...
...an idea!
What is it?
yes, Nanc, What is it??
dratz!
i thought it was either the "100th" post contest, or perhaps the sixth month contest, or you're in a contest to have the longest running blog without a current article!
orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you're just trying to test the patience of your loyal readers.
patience - meet saint.
Nanc, ROFL!!!
John, we know you're still here. Are you afraid of the Liberals?? Don't say it's true. Some of them are laughing cause you won't come out of your turtle shell.
....sigh.
Them's fighting words.
yup - he's skeeeert, kell. yeller as they come...
Ya, them's fightin' words, alright.
So, are you in the ring or not?
Remember this..."YO"?
Back in the ring...or it's "yeller as they come."
you're killin' me - you're really killin' me, kell!
Sorry about that, Nanc, but drastic measures must be taken ;)
