But I have also seen the reference on other blogs, other websites, a you-tube video. It is indeed a viral phenomenon. I have not heard it used in public, but a friend of mine was the person who heard the surfer in California yell it to someone else. So while the humor may have worn off, the term has taken hold in the public lexicon, for better or worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-22086517488071597632008-09-01T13:15:00.000-04:002008-09-01T13:15:00.000-04:00Bernie Bober is a great guy and will make a great ...Bernie Bober is a great guy and will make a great judge.

We were complaining that Dijols was ousted as a Hispanic in Broward.<BR/><BR/>But the individual who captured the highest number of votes... here is his bio in brief part:<BR/><BR/>"Bernie, 49, has been an Assistant Public Defender in Broward County, Florida for over 21 years. He was born in Havana, Cuba to Cuban-Jewish parents and his family fled Cuba after Castro came to power."<BR/><BR/>Here is Dijols in brief part:<BR/><BR/>"Pedro E. Dijols is a Circuit Court Judge in the 17th Judicial Circuit, in Broward County. Born in New York City, Judge Dijols graduated from North Miami Beach High, received his Bachelor of Arts from Biscayne College and a Juris Doctor from St. Thomas University Law School. He is admitted to the bar in both New York and Florida and served as Associate Counsel to the New York City Department of Corrections in the Investigation and Discipline Division before returning to Florida to serve as an Assistant State Attorney for Broward County State Attorney Michael Satz." <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we unfairly judged that coup d'etat, because we merely looked at the name (Bernie Bober), and didn't realize that a Cuban-Jew from Cuba and APD was ousting a Hispanic-American from New York and former ASA and former Assistant Statewide Prosecutor.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there are lots of other things that can be said. Was the Broward voting public similarly confused?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-68715311905780023532008-08-31T18:58:00.000-04:002008-08-31T18:58:00.000-04:00this just in BREAKING NEWS Ray Nagin, mayor of New...this just in BREAKING NEWS Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans has accused the Bush Administration of creating Hurricane Gustav to displace and kill african americans. more at 11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-68347500768467475512008-08-31T16:40:00.000-04:002008-08-31T16:40:00.000-04:00I second the earlier post about the irony of the r...I second the earlier post about the irony of the rained-out Republican Convention.

The candidates were Bernard Isaac ''Bernie'' Bober, who captured 38 percent of votes during Tuesday's primary election. But only 111 votes separated second-place finisher Mardi Anne Levey (30.91 percent) and third-place candidate Pedro E. Dijols (30.79 percent). Either Levey or Dijols would face Bober in November.<BR/><BR/>Under state law, machine recounts are required if the margin of victory is less than 0.5 percent. If the machine recount then shows a margin of less than 0.25 percent, there is a manual recount of any undervotes or overvotes.<BR/><BR/>A three-member canvassing board must oversee the recount, which begins with a review of the machine count. It is then followed by a manual recount of ballots.<BR/><BR/>''We are doing our best and we are willing to stay into the wee hours in the morning,'' Broward Mayor Lois Wexler, who is serving on the canvassing board, said late Saturday.<BR/><BR/>In its announcement on Saturday, Broward election officials said they would reconvene the canvassing board at 8 a.m. Sunday to begin a manual recount of the ''undervotes and overvotes'' -- those in which a voter has either marked more than one candidate or left the ballot blank.<BR/><BR/>The manual recount is being held at the Voting Equipment Center, 1501 NW 40 Avenue, Lauderhill. It is open to the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-49502673574536573032008-08-31T00:33:00.000-04:002008-08-31T00:33:00.000-04:00Didn't she play "Karen" on "Will and Grace"LOLNaw ...Didn't she play "Karen" on "Will and Grace"<BR/><BR/>LOL<BR/><BR/>Naw she is agaist gay marriage.
