No you can't, that would cause (at least with the males here) medal envy. You may have lots of medals, but no BIG ones. Ok?

This is the same guy who tried to appeal to the "Christian" natures of his constituents in a plea to raise money specifically earmarked for education. The Lord knows Alabama is perennially at or near the bottom of the heap both in money spent per student as well as SAT/ACT scores, # of high school graduates and # of college-bound seniors.
He was defeated soundly by a 75% margin.
I'm just surprised that the GOP hit machine hasn't gone after him yet.
I give him a lot of credit for not only having principles but standing by them - he's got to be a lonely guy in that party.
So let me get this straight, when you agree with the priciples that a politician stands by you give him credit, but when a certain president stands by his that you don't agree with he is being stubborn and pig headed. Ahhh, the hypocrite is at is again.

Was a Chef and my name is Jim. Now Financial Planner. Financial Planner Jim just doesn't cut it. And besides South Park doesn't have a FP.

Remember when a BJ was called "getting a lewinsky." Well, American vernacular is adding a new phrase.....Being from a Red State.
I just think it's funny that "being stupid" has been replaced with "being from a red state" in vernacular. Someone might say, "what is he from a red state?" I love that.
Blue States=
more cultured
more educated
contributes much more to economy.
more likely to get hit by terrorist attack.
Red States=
more likely to vote with bibles instead of brains.
This wasn't very intelligent or well thought out the FIRST time it was posted. What gave you the idea we'd want to read it a second time???
Oh by the way, I'm from a red county, voted Bush and have never read the Bible and have only been to church a handful of times in the past 30 years. All to attend weddings.

Chef, not to get too far off topic, but where did you used to work in LA?
I picked up the Chasen's cookbook, primarily for their chili recipe. Apparently in 1962 when in Rome shooting "Cleopatra," Liz Taylor had Chasens ship her ten quarts of their chili. (And it's the best chili I've ever made.)
I worked at several Hollywood hangouts. The most famous was Ma Maison, where Wolfgang Puck got his start. My favorite celeb was Orson Wells who used to come in almost every night. They'd sneak (if you can sneak a 300lb person) in through the kitchen. He had a table in the bar. I used to go out to the bar just to listen to him talk. Incredible voice.

Absolutely not. Now can someone please pass the Grey Poupon.

When I used to work at some of the top restaurants in LA I was "fortunate" enough to cook for many celebs. In hindsite I wish I had taken notes on what they ate and how the presented themselves. It would have made a good book. One in particular.....Elizabeth Taylor in 1983.....

[Light cigar and cue A-Team theme music]
I've seen film of C-130 gunship suppression from Vietnam (Wow!). Couple that with today's imaging technology and you can't help but wonder what goes through the mind of someone looking down the wrong end of the barrel.
Trying to add an attachment to this post. Nose art for Herky Gunship "Azrael: Angel of Death," which, correct me if I'm wrong, happens to be the Angel of Death from the Koran?
You gotta love the kills on the nose of the gunship.......camels!!

If it makes you feel better, I don't like Jim Carrey's movies at all (with a couple exceptions) but I met him (with Rene Zellwegger) at a Meat Puppets concert backstage a few years ago and he seemed like a great guy, at least for the hour or so we were in the same room. So we're even.
I've seen interviews with Jim Carrey and it does seem as though he's a great guy. Even though his stuff is rather sophmoric he seems like someone I would like to have a beer with. Maher on the other hand, I'd probably dump the beer on him. Or better yet, let him hit on my wife and have her throw her drink in his face while I watched from the end of the bar. Now that's my kind of voyeurism. With my wife anyway.
-
I am not looking at him as a person, I am looking at him as a comedian. If you asked me if I liked Bill Maher, I would say I hate the guy because he's a jerk but I think he's funny. Hey, I met Jim Kelly very briefly a couple times and he was an !@#$, too, in my opinion. And a lot of other people's opinion. But he was my favorite player ever on the Bills. Man, if you had to like everyone in Hollywood or everyone in sports or everyone in politics based on their personalities out of the spotlight, there would be very slim pickens I'm afraid. There are a lot of egomaniacs out there.
I know that, and that is why I rarely go to the movies and have been turned off of sports for quite some time now. Yes, even the Bills. That is why you don't see me over at TSW too often. If I felt the same way you did about any comedian, there is no way they could get me to laugh. But that's just me.
-
I like Bill Maher a lot as a comedian, even when I don't agree with him. And I think he is a pretty smart guy, and good at his job. I have, however, been at a couple parties with him (He's a good friend of a friend) in Hollyweird and he is an A-1 bona fide ass-hole, especially concerning, and to, women. he made me sick. I really detest him for that, and I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier.
Wait a minute. You have first hand knowledge that this guy is A-1 bonafide a-hole towards woman to the point of making you sick. You say you detest him however you like him a lot as a comedian.
Holy smokes, if I felt that way about anyone there is no way they could ever make me laugh. Actually I would not give them a second of an opportunity to make me laugh. -
Actually I'm home "sick" today. Had an angiogram yesterday. Arteries are all clear! Doctor said that looked great! So BiB, pass the fatty sausage, pate and foie gras. I'm loading up for the winter! Now if we can only figure out what's causing these damn palpitations.
-
Been sick as a dog all week (103 fever Monday and Tuesday), it's kept me from working - and meeting a deadline. (It's still keeping me from talking - I've got terrible laryngitis. Melody's thrilled.
)So the short version is: I'm probably working. But she's the boss...you really have to ask her.
Now if the laryngitis could only spread to your fingers.

Stealth mission? Answer me why the White House will have been occupied by a Republican 20 out of the last 28 years once Bush's second term is up? Fool me once shame on me, fool me 20 out of 28 shame on......
-
Never once in that speech did Bush say mission accomplished. On the contrary he stated there was a lot of work yet to do. The administration said they had nothing to do with the sign. If they did it was stupid, however you have no proof they did.
Say Bush makes a speech at a restaurant that has a sign over his head that states "All Meals Free on Fridays" would you say that Bush said the restaurant was giving away free meals on Friday?
-
This has been argued over and over. I asked when did Bush utter those words. You show me a sign. Unless he barfed up those words on to the sign or ordered that sign written they are not his words. Did he order that sign written? I don't know and neither do you. So there is no sense in arguing an unprovable point.

That would be awesome. However don't know if I could swing a trip from CA for that. If you folks do something like that could somone film it? I would love to see that. I have tons of battlefield books and plan to spend good chunks of my retirement wandering those fields.

I see a great deal of history appreciation here.
A friend of mine is getting ready to publish a Civil War book on the history of the West Point class of 1862. Tremendously well researched and there are some really fascinating stories there. He graduated West Point himself (Retired Colonel) and is often asked to conduct seminars and such. The story is told primarily through the eyes of a central 19 year old cadet (who's room mate was GA Custer) and it deals very nicely with the politics of the time, what life was actually like at the academy in those days, and very detailed and scholarly descriptions of the battles they participated in. Goes into their later life experiences, for those who survived. He's located many rare period pictures to accompany the story.
When it comes out, if anyone is interested, I will get some autographed copies.
Count me in. I'm a big collector of books and search and pay alot for first editions and autographed copies. Keep me posted.

How foolish Bush was.

How foolish Bush was?? When did the President ever utter the words "Mission Accomplished"?
So, who's the next DHS guy?

The foie gras round up and testing is still on right? I mean that always helps me when I'm depressed. Of course a bottle of 2001 Sauterne to go along with it always seems to help.
