Lola at the Coffee House

You get the six foot ceremonial pipe and Wassau will get the kinnikinick. Wassau?....

I see, it's the skunks. We should have known. I'm learning as we go.

I have a peace pipe, can Wassau get any herb?

Peace pipe, yes. herb, yes...........

I love you too edgar. So sweet.

Lola, still in her pajama pants and t-shirt puts down her book and helps Wassau tidy the bar. The cafe never closes, so Wassau turns it over to the night help soon.

Well, good night all. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm off to my apartment across the street. Clean sheets await.

Yeah--nasty buggers underneath.

Surely it can't be as simple as that wordbite suggests.

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar spendi.

A woman once approached Curly Howard and jammed a cigar in his eye.

Did she say Happy Valentine's day after that?

I don't think so in this case. I have looked up the story and the 22 Senators had their reasons, whether valid or not, and being in favour of violence towards women, which is what Lola's wordbite suggested, was not one of them.

Are you claiming that the 22 Senators are not opposed to violence against women? If you are substantiate your claim. Facile sneers are no use.

It's not your words, but the effect of what you do, in these cases.

Hey ! ! !

Who put all this coffee in my cream and sugar?

Yes, I know that ed. I just don't rate partisan politics when it distorts what has been said or done to such an extent. It puts pressure on the Senators to vote in a manner they don't wish to do, for whatever reason, probably other aspects in the bill which have not been mentioned, and thus undermines democratic processes.

It opens up the possibility also that the bill is a provocation in order to produce a trap and it speaks well of the 22 Senators that they were prepared to be ensnared by it, which they would know they would be, rather than vote for some legislation they do not agree with. They were sent to the Senate by the voters in their states to vote against bills they don't agree with.

Hence, the distortion, insults their constituents and the American public's intelligence.

I do not believe there is any chance that the 22 Senators are not as strongly opposed to violence against women as those who are making a play with the distortion for completely separate reasons which have nothing to do with violence against women. Which is getting too close for comfort to patronising women imo. And to ratcheting up anxiety and fear, which Bernie used to mention, another notch by keeping the subject high up in the consciousness.

As every woman reading the distortion is likely to be strongly opposed to violence against women, the general impression they will get from it is that Republicans are in favour of violence against women.

And that is false. I just thought the record should show that to be the case. The alternative is to impeach all 22 which would be automatic I should think if they have spoken or acted in favour of violence to women.

Morning, everyone. Just got here. Nice to be at a place where all is calm and friendly.

Coffee, please. And a bun...anything available without chocolate.

Morning (etc.), all.
Plain black coffee here, please.
Ah, my eyes are opening as we speak.
Scrambled eggs and mixed grains toast (with nutty sage pate) later on, eh? First I need to catch up with the news on my lap top (I wish I had one, this desktop thing is a pain to lug around).

You lug around you desktop? You must have a strong back.

Wow...look at that desk top. Must be heavy. Lemme give you a hand.


Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
