I think it's time to sell insurance, Travis.

It's a little less amazing given that they have multiple blueprints from which to steal ideas from, and all of the modern inconveniences such as electricity, computers, etc. But yes, these things do go slowly. Doesn't follow, tho, that going slowly will produce a document that means more than the roll on my bathroom wall when it comes to the rights of all of their people. When that administration apologist on Meet the Press said it's really not all that bad if women don't have many right, I puked in my mouth a little. There's the first chip away, with more to follow, from the honorable sacrifice of 1,800 soldiers.

You broke it, you bought it --> You bought it, you break it Yeah. That actually sounds about right....

Duke ran for the Republican presidential nomination in '92. Link. But to be fair, he's bounced b/w the two parties, making and breaking alliances like underwear in a dryer without Bounce sheets. His voice really doesn't matter, as shown earlier this week. Comparing the parties from Lincoln's time to our own will get you nowhere. They've changed and swapped platforms so much as to be completely unrecognizable.

Heard Matt Lauer interview the doctor this morning. Seems that since every other doctor she's been to had used the "It's not good for your health" line of reasoning, he used the argument that, "Your husband won't/doesn't like you like this." And this was the first thing he said to her. It is heresay for him to be saying what her husband likes (there are guys who go for this). And maybe it would have been more polite for him to have mentioned the health effects before, or instead, for the simple fact that he deals in the body's health and is not a fashion consultant. I really don't give a duece, tho. If she doesn't like what he said, she can go to yet another doctor. From the sounds of it, she's shopping around for one that'll say that being obese is good, nay, GREAT! for you. Sometimes the truth hurts.

"Oh come on now! I didn't mean 'assassinate.' I meant...... uhhhh.... uhhh...... 'assassinate???' Please, please, please don't stop giving me money!'

Which sounds a lot like when "moderate" Muslims are quoted as saying, "The 9/11 attacks on the U.S. were a tragedy, BUT...." that the far-righties here rightly regularly cite when it happens. Now comes the time when those same people here argue for and about something equally stupid. Robertson is an idiot and his followers are too. That's it; that's all that needs to be said; end of topic; end of thread.

And the Iraqi Supreme Court, or whatever it'll be called. They should bother cantankering about "lifetime appointments" phrases. I don't think those will much matter.....

Good, but not enough "obviously"s in the quotes. I only counted one.

Watch that apostrophe usage! As when they stand in for omitted letters in such titles as Guns 'N' Roses, someone might fill in an "asm" in there.

The fact that they think they can realistically reconcile these things is proof positive that their ancestors had sex with camels.

BTW, when did "because" *ahem* become *ahem* a verb and what does it mean? I would say that's accurate, only add in that it is conducted via a partisan half-truth smear campaign. Who's going to protect it as a certified Trademark, and therefore a noun in all cases? The Navy?

What about all of those Japanese businessmen that own a lot of U.S. commercial property, those damned capitalists! They aren't citizens, yet they own land here. And philburger, this was a civil court case. The judge set the damages to be paid as the guy's ranch. Last I looked they don't handle monetary, possession, etc. restitution in criminal court.... I guess we now know who's going to be the next right-wing whipping boy in the next election. Too bad you're gonna lose a lot of those western states!

"The state of American humor is Arkansas." -- ?

And there are people here who think Golisano will be the Bills' savior once Ralph goes to the big football game in the sky.... More like, he'll run the team into the ground by just maintaining the status quo like he's doing now with the Sabres.

New commercial last night during MNF with Sawyer leaning against a rock and reading from something. Like, "We were brought here for a reason!? 'Cha!!!" The creators before said he had just been winged, and this furthers that he came out okay.

The most I've heard is for a wave of both-ends flu to go through the WH. Believe it or not, most people who call themselves Dems actually respect the office enough not to call for an execution. For all the talk of the lunatic left, too bad the lunatic right has carried them out with frequency over the last 40 years. That, or the thought of "President Dick Cheney" would cause a body-wide version of brain freeze.

Well, it's the cost of keeping the inmates safe at the American prison system's crown jewel, as one president called it.

And the homos. Don't forget the homos.

Wes Clark. People were scared away from his lack of governing experience and his newness on the scene after a pretty secular military career. He'll run for the nod again and do better simply by being around, but following from Mickey's post tho, there's a scant chance he would get it. It'll probably only get him more of a shot at the VP slot. Vilsak or Richardson/Clark are two tickets I could live with as a former Rep-turned-Dem-mulling-Ind. Edwards hurt the campaign more than most people admit when he got fairly schooled by Cheney in the debate. Imagine if Clark didn't feel a sense of duty to the party (such as it is) last year and ran independently. Money would have been a big issue, but ideas are what count most. I think he would have gotten a lot of votes.

The QB football pat --- the physical expression of the mental "Uhhhhhhh...."

Part of the nitrogen cycle?

Lovely. But he's better than al Sadr. Ask him, he'll tell you. I'm just waiting for the part when he joins the Jimmy Swaggert club and he, too, is bursted in on while pearl-necklacing a prostitute's chest in a sleazy hotel room. "Oh, yeah, baby. Mmmm. Yeah...."

"Long since not"?

Someone I know who's in the Air Force SF & Ravens escorted the white pick-up and other stuff in a C-5 down to Crawford a couple of years ago. They had to wait for two hours while Laura, at the last minute, decided to send over another shoebox. Maybe she really, really, really, really, really, really needed those green pumps to go with one of her summer dresses. Oh well. That's the job.
