Take care and play it safe.
A little too late now but, a Katadyn pocket filter works wonders when water supply gets short. You can throw it in a third world mud hole and it would pump safe water.

Will GWB's:
"We can win the war on terrorism."... "We can't win the war on terrorism."... "We can win the war on terrorism."
Be his "Willie Horton?"

And if that were possible...why is it that the Navy has to call on the Coast Guard for overseas port security?
I was going to mention that... Very good point.

Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. It disturbs me also... Same as the competitive eating contests.

It's the wild west... What a perfect place for the big cowboy! Now we alone have to pay for it... What a mess.

Hay T Baby!... You must be lovin' life man?

Speaking as a moderator...our hands are tied. If we lock or delete a thread, people end up bitching and moaning about partisan censorship - and encourages the pinhead to post more (usually to prove what a big man he is). If we let it go, people end up bitching and moaning about our piss-poor moderating job - and encourages the pinhead to post more (usually, again, to prove what a big man he is).
So basically, since our most powerful tool is the ability to delete posts, and it gets bloody !@#$ing tiresome deleting 200 meaningless and obnoxious posts a day, we just let it go. It's just not worth the effort...if people here want to wallow in a cesspool, who are we to stop them?
Hay wait Tom! I am half way through this cesspool... I want to continue!
Now you know why Springer sells!

That kinda reminds me of how the neighbors handle snow on their driveway... Just drive back and forth a few hundred times to pack it down...
Like just grabbing the shovel would be too hard?
"fugtardia"... I like that!

Sure one of my few spelling mistakes! Sometimes even I get too lazy to proof my posts.
You know? You are just gonna make me more neurotic!

One of my favorite lines from her speech is:
"because of strong American leadership in the past we don't hide under our desks anymore"
JimKrazy
...Ya... We just get popped off while we SIT at our desks? Don't worry people, go back to your offices, no lead to leave the building.
What is wrong with being prepared? You don't remember air raid drills?
While we fight this war, why don't we all pitch in? Conserve, cut-back?
A strong America is a UNITED America. Strong leadership unites the people, not divides them.
An unjust, pre-emptive war people divided this country.

I'd say individual liberty + personal responsibility + understanding of history + governing by the Constitution = Libertarian.
That said, I'm not a member of the party because the stance on "Open Borders" is blindingly stupid. Limiting the roll of the Federal government to the Constitution is something I completely agree with.
You did say infrastructure is in the constitution, didn't you? Does the Northwest Ordinance count also?
Am I safe in what I do?
Please, please, say yes!...

Darin,
That's the real reason these 3rd parties want to get the 5%. Has nothing to do with anything more then getting the federal funds. A lot of nepotism can occur when you have $75 million to campaign, and another $15 million to throw a party.
Actually with all the security, etc... $15 million out of our pocket isn't that much.
It is still wasteful and imprudent. I wish they would adhere to the set of ethics they lay out for everyone else in the government.
I can't take a gift over 20 bucks and this crap goes on?
Hay wait? Was that bottle of Southern Comfort from that southbound yacht on the up and up?
Ooops... probably $19.95?
Darin is absolutely right... Completely cut the apron strings when it comes to this.

No Way!
How are you gonna get the masses to reform the beast? Does there have to be a revolt?

You seriously think that they chose NY and scheduled the convention so late for some reason other than to take political advantage of 9/11? Please. This is NYC, hardly a bastion of Republican voters. Prior to 9/11 it was pretty popular everywhere in the Republican states to mock out NYC as a center for liberal pansies. Bush isn't here because he can win in NY, he is here to take advantage of 9/11, pure and simple.
As far as responding when the s-h-i-t hit the fan, I thought we all responded, I wasn't aware that it was only republicans who did. Thanks for clearing that up. You see, that is what we mean by exploiting 9/11 for political gain. Acting as if you people were the only ones who responded to that tragedy. Frankly, I was never more ashamed of an American President than I was on that day. He spent the day running and clueless. I had a friend die on 9/11 that I've known since the '70s. He was no republican. I can guarantee you that he is turning over in his grave thinking that his death is being used to help re-elect GWB.
Kind of a non-sequitar here... Just got me thinking of it...
What was that old TV commercial for Pace picante?
"Neeeew Yorrrk City?"
Then the other cowboys proceeded to tie the one cowboy up.
Sorry for my brief attempt at levity... Back to our regular scheduled program.

I am a conservative. I am little right of right wing.
I cannot stand to watch Hannity & Colmes because Sean Hannity is like watching a little "nancy" in elementary school fight like a sissy. He is a relentless mud slinger.
So,....my point is I stayed away from watching FOX news last night because I thought I would take a chance and watch MSNBC. I figured I would watch with an open mind and not allow myself to be influenced by the FOX talking heads.
Do some of you lefties REALLY not believe that the mainstream media isn't liberal???
I would bet a million dollars that if you looked into Tom Brokaw's check register you would see a big check having been written to the Kerry Campaign. This guy is a whore for the Democratic party.
Ron Regan? This clown needs to come out of the closet and get counseling.
That is kind of funny that you mention that about Hannity, I always say the same thing. My father worked on the railroad and always says that if he (Hannity) worked back then and acted like that, he would get smacked around. Too bad there are rules against workplace violence now!
Funny, Mario Cuomo put him in his place a while back... I think it went along the lines of: "Sean, you are a nice looking guy, how can you think the way you do?" 
Mainstream media IS liberal. What is wrong with that? Like most universities out there, the liberal thought process is more condusive to change and intellectual thought... GO AHEAD SHOOT ME! Take a look at NPR, at least they will stick in human interest stories, art, music, and what not.
I am disappointed at McCain, he was reading from the teleprompter like a drone. It seemed painful on his part. It is almost like the cyborg republicans assimilated him... "Just by your time John, we will give it to you in '08". I really think he could have been the Teddy Roosevelt of the 21st century. Something, anything, needs to be done to shake up the 2 party system.
For now I am voting for change. There is only one candidate that will have a chance at winning in '04, that will change things.

It maybe true for those in power. But I believe this has been the liberal talking line for years now. It's has been what can we do to take from the rich and give to the poor, minorties and special interests.
Exiled if you have been paying attention, I am not for getting rid of welfare, unemployment, section 8 or anything else. What I am for is making it more restrictive, and adding rules to ensure if you receieve benefits that you are working to better yourself, to get off the roles, and that you are working period. I don't believe anyone should get a free ride. If you're handicapped, then we always need people to stamp envelopes, paint fire hydrants, something.
I have, that is what vexs me about you VA. I agree what you say, yet the times you layout the stereotypes, I am dumbfounded.
-
Ooops!
I don't know teacher, the dog must of ate my teleprompter?
-
Couldn't that be true for anybody in a position of power and prominence.
You really believe? You are more resentful than I thought.
On a lighter note... Just heard that they are protesting the Texan breakfest contingent at the RNC... Reminds me of:
"Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire"

WHOA! Where did THAT come from?
Is Guliani above criticism because he used 9/11 to garner support for Bush?
Do you HONESTLY think he was thinking 'Thank God that Bush was president' DURING the attacks!? NO... And if you believe that, I have some swamp land in Florida that makes PRIME real estate. It's all political rhetoric!
When have I EVER defended Kerry to the hilt? NEVER... he has a LOT of questions that need to be answered, but I'm sorry, but what Rudy did was not right. It's about time someone stopped making 9/11 and swift boat vets their whole campaign. NEITHER one of them talk about real issues!
ENOUGH with the 9/11 and military record CRAP already. Don't put your glamour boys up on podiums, and use tragic events to prop up you candidacies. THIS goes for BOTH sides. What Guliani did is the same as what Kerry did with those 'staged' reunions of his.
I will NOT back down off of this one. ANY mayor of ANY city would have acted the way he did when faced with that sort of attack. He's anything BUT a holier-than-thou figure, BELIEVE ME. Just ask his ex-wife.
Remember, it is don't do as I do, do as I tell you with these guys.
I am voting for change.
These guys here feel that they have a lot to lose.
All they do is shill doom and gloom.
I gleaned a few life quotes:
"However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts" ~Henry David Thoreau
"Life is "trying things to see if they work."" ~Ray Bradbury
"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount." ~
Omar N. Bradley

Is this true or not? I remember hearing that NO has never took a direct hit from a strong hurricane.
Can this be verified?
