Be very, very careful with snarky remarks concerning the ‘old folks’. I’m a grandmother and I’m very much a DFH. My mother is 88, and SHE’s a DFH. Of course she would never be caught dead in an idiotic hat or roam around on a Social Security/Medicare provided walker, crutches or wheelchair screaming about the government messing with her health insurance. She’s just not that stupid.

I’ve kept a man 20 years my junior happy for many years…never assume. Go ahead, ask me about my grandchildren.

I’ve kept a man 20 years my junior happy….Hey granny! too much information.
As for the I-haven’t-got-anything-better-to-do-in-than-stand-around-listening-to-other-crackers-in-Putzville crowd, keep bellowing, ’cause it’s just so convincing.

I am so not sporting wood.

Metamucil and Depends used to make me excited but it no longer does the trick.

They are all variations on Sarah Palin. All a guy’s gotta do is close his eyes and listen to them speak, right?

Going to tea parties beats watching soaps any day.

It’s a veritable cornucopia of raging hambeasts.

Galtwives

Yeah, they’re all *smiling* in the photo.

Probably infiltrated by some DFH that held up a “smile if you’re not wearing underwear” sign.

Wins thread.

It’s probably safe to say we can start calling the Party of Republicans, The Confederate Party.

I know that area of the country, and the unemployment rate is high and has been for years; of course it got that way long before Dubya was turned out of office, but that’s picking nits, no? It’s definitely the Kenyan’s fault though, they are sure of it…

So hot to see a gathering of women who would have boned Nixon. You know-if he had been able.

you’re not referencing the time Dick had to watch “Deep Throat” 8 times before he got it down Pat?

I shaved my balls for THIS?

I always wondered what Lisa Loopner and Todd de la Mucca would look like now, all grown into middle age — and Photoshop-duplicated to suggest a big crowd. Now I know.

Show us your guns!

Corporal, given the general joie de snarque amongst TBoggs’ commenting community, I can’t see how a modestly stated remark about keeping one’s (younger) partner happy is “too much information”! Unless of course the mere idea of a woman in her 50s or 60s being good at sex is considered icky and unsuited to bloggy company? Compared to what? that great vid of the walrus and his self-maintained giant dick? Or – eww – Dr. Mike and his smirking gun?

I’m 66 and I’m with outrageoftheday. She’s been smart and liberal probably since before you were in Kindergarten. Her mom has been smart and liberal since before I was in Kindergarten. When you have more living time to your credit, who knows, you may have a wider perspective?

I’d put the median age of the people in the top pic at someplace in the 40s. Same for the bottom pic. Sandra Bullock is in her mid 40s. Just sayin’. Also: time goes really fast, guys.

Although we DFH’s like think of the ‘baggers as pasty white middle/old age Archie Bunkers, probably 55-60% of those who go to their rallies/Matlock conventions are actually women. The “leadership” of the grassroots side (as opposed to the astroturfy side) are mostly women, too.

Although one might be encouraged by this (in that they would be less likely to go on a multi-state shooting spree) I find it kinda concerning. Women “of a certain age” can be rather relentless, and with effective leadership they can leverage their “soft power” of matronly insistence to move mountains (women’s suffrage, prohibition, drunk driving laws, on and on). I suspect they’re thinking in these terms as well, and the men are just allowed to be there cause dey don’t like the driving in the downtown after it get dark, ya know? Cause of the coloreds and all. Yah.

I am actually hoping they DO get subsumed by the GOP, so this potential juggernaut of ill-directed outrage can be pointed toward less damaging ends, such as any other number of dismissive jobs a misogynistic top down structure like the GOP makes politically active women do, such as answering phones or getting coffee.

I don’t think tbogg’s remark is ageist or sexist – it goes straight to style. I very much doubt that either you or your mom have “Ask Me About My Grandchildren! license plate frames.” The people, male or female, who do their tags like that, at least in my experience, run to duds, Anything more, I think ur reading your own stuff into it. The Corporal guy, OTOH, is earning his curb stomping here.

Is that lady supposed to be Cat in the Fucking Hat or just another teabagger?

This crowd will give men a pause.

She’s all Xed out; her granddaughter told her that this was what the kids called a “rave” and that what would sound like chanting was really “techno”. That’s what she gets for giving out Applebee’s gift cards for Christmas.

They all have cankles.

No cyborg seksbots showed up, though, so the Perfesser has a sad.
