For just $19 you can send the entire office to get motivated on Monday by the likes of former President George W. Bush, Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Terry Bradshaw, a top saleswoman and other "motivational speakers" at the Ft. Worth Business Seminar.

Ah, life out of politics.

Notice that this is a list of people that got things done.

The other list, which Obama headlines, is people that talk about getting things done, but never do.

I guess it is true, I was feeling motivated there for a second.

We're already motivated for voting out the democrats.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll keep my $19.

And as far as hear Dubya speak?? I think I'd rather have a root canal.

Thanks but no thanks, I'll keep my $19 for something more interesting. Bush 43 doesn't strike me as particularly motivating. As for Guilliani, I just keep remembering Biden's line--a noun, a verb and 9/11. Something I keep wondering is why Bush didn't go back to his Crawford ranch--thought he loved the place.

Beautiful day outside. After getting the leaves off the lawn and hauled out front, it looks as if I didn't do a thing, a million more drifting down. But I am grateful to own my home with its falling leaves since so many are losing or have lost theirs.

I would pay NOTHING to see a "motivational speaker" who spent $53 million in campaign donations to produce a total of ONE delegate.

Even I see the scam in that.

By the way, does the "top saleswoman" have a name? So much for promoting women. Sheesh.

Just what I need....Warmongers for Motivational Speaking. By the time everyone leaves, everyone who attends will suddenly want to go to War with Cuba.

Jody- see if you can contact "Willing to Work". I bet he'd come haul those pesky leaves for you!

Dang, the former President of the United States of America reduced to doing live infomercials.
How embarrassing for our country.

I would rather get a root canal after spending six hours at the DMV!!
