Sh*t... maybe the MLB helicopters that hover over my house will crash into the NSA ones. Two blackbirds, one stone.

With that comment you probably just made some other list...

Techinically, no it isn't. You are right about that. http://politicalwire.com/archives/2007/09/...in_florida.html http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpoliti...ry-clinton.html But I think this snippet sums it all up quite nicely: Guests were asked to bring $1 to $5, technically making the event a fundraiser that is exempt from the Democratic field's pledge not to campaign in Florida. "The money was not the focus, but that's the way we had to do it,'' Bird said. "The whole idea was to have some holiday fun. Everybody brought a dish to share and we got to listen to a fabulous candidate." That tells me everyone knew it was campaigning, with a nod and a wink at least. Spirit of the law vs. letter of the law kinda thing.

Nobody dropped off the FL ballot. Even the candidates who droped out of the race. Not really sure why. Clinton did campaign in FL though, against everyones wishes. Of course she said it wasn't campaigning, but that was about as good of an excuse as the "I'm not smoking, my cigarette is..." line that I used to give to my teachers.

Have you seen the sales numbers from the albums he has produced?

She was against it before she was for it.

Is supporting McCain mutually exclusive to wanting foreign oil independence or alternative energy sources? I'm guessing he has the same standard Republican ties to big oil, but even hardline right-wingers are starting to come around to the notion that we need to start doing business differently if we wish to survive.

Well you got that part right. Way to miss the point. Obama ins't complaining about who or who does not vote for him. Clinton and her people do. Get it? Again - she doesn't have more popular votes. She doesn't have more pledged deligates. She doesn't have more superdeligates. She loses by every metric. So yeah, if she did somehow get the nod, she would be stealing it. Don't worry though PJ - she won't get it. He took his name off the ballot because it was the right thing to do. All of the other candidates did it as well. Except for the one shady one. I suppose they all knew Clitnon was gonna win though, right? Which begs the question, if they knew the will of the voters, why even bother to run against Clinton? Why have an election at all? Everyone in the Democratic party obviously wanted her to be president. And by everyone I mean the minority of voters, deligates and superdeligates. Your horse lost. It's over.

Archuletta has a far better natural singing voice. Cook will sell more albums. I can't stand DA's fake, Melinda Doolittle-esqe "me? really?" routine. More than that though, I can't stand DC's singing style and the constant slurring and breathiness. They both seem like decent people though.

Sure she does. I don't think anyone on the planet has questioned her 'right' to remain in the race. If anything it shows that Obama supporters are rational compared to Clinton supporters. To be a registered Democrat and vote Republican because the candidate with a d1ck beat the one with the v@g is fcking retarded. It means the gender or race of a president is more important than policy, considering that Clinton and Obama are pretty damn close in terms of issues and policy.

I would support that 100%.

I'm an out-of-the-closet Def Leppard fan. This is counting only material recorded prior to Hysteria.

Nor should it. But lets use some math and play around with the whole FL & MI nonsense. FL & MI had a total of 1,775,509 votes in play. The the total vote lead for Obama is 441,558 (not counting FL & MI). If we take the 1,775,509 and split it up between the 2 candidates using Clinton's largest margin of victory (WV at 67.0 %) that makes the split in favor of Clinton 17,397,578 to 17,235,463. Not a huge lead and that is assuming she would win those states by the WV %. Now looking at reality - she didn't even win by that % when she was the only candidate on the ballot. Hell -She almost lost to undecided! If you use the average % in all of the elections to calculate what would have been the likely voter response and turnout had MI & FL played by the rules, common sense tells us Obama would be in front. This popular vote talk is fckin nonsense. It's a sore loser playing on emotion and trying to change the rules with 10 seconds left in the games. Pathetic. Edit : I'd even be up for a re-vote knowing it would shut up this popular vote drivel in a heartbeat, but the overall point is, the Dem's are right in punishing MI & FL for being turds. Capitulating at this point will only serve to encourage more a$$-hatery down the road.

Do you ever stop drinking the Kool-Aid long enought to check your facts against reality? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/20...vote_count.html

Anyone care to do a quick summary for those of us who have the links blocked at work?

She is dead/in a different time instance. That's my guess.

Yeah, from the bit of it that I heard it's all bad.

Giant douche vs. Turd sandwich?

The SCOTUS ruling was kinda stupid, albeit technically correct. The vetoing authority can just veto a bill and say "Hey present me with the same things sans the idiocy" and it has the same effect, but more often than not it is used as political ammunition against them. "Hey did you know president so-and-so vetoed the bill that allows handicapped children to use playgrounds???" Meanwhile attched to the thing was a clause or rider that charges a tax for breathing air. A bit of hyperbole maybe but you get the point.

I voted for him twice, but mostly because of my disdain for the electoral college. Being a NY'er if I want to vote in the general election for someone other than the Dem candidate my vote means squat.

Well I do like the transparency. If voters weren't so apethetic it could lead to change in that people might actually demand it. Works better in theory than it does in practice. Does anyone still support the line item veto, or did that go out the window with Reagan and Bush I?

At least Artie-baby-boo-boo was polite to callers.

Thanks again AD - being delivered next week!

Pretty minimal grade on any slopes, except along my patio, which shouldn't be too much of a problem. As far as attachments go, I don't plan on doing any tractor type stuff. I already have a nice snowblower.

Thanks AD - I was actually looking at the YS4500 which is only $100 more, but I have a 10% off any purchase coupon and I have a Sears card to boot. I was a bit worried about quality but if it's a Husky, that eases the concern a bit. I may go tonight to check it out.
