Bungee Jumper

Let's just make everyone a World Series winner every year, because they're all special. !@#$ing socialist Canadians. Seriously, baseball died for me when they introduced the wild card team. I always enjoyed the fact that baseball had the purest playoff format of any league: you win your division, you're in the playoffs. You don't, see ya next year, tough sh--. Just like I hated hockey when everyone got to the playoffs except Hartford. Having too many playoff teams makes the regular season irrelevent.

He should know. He's got the damn pictures.

Yeah, play it coy. You were the one talking about her and her liquor... ...or did you mean "licker"?

Probably because "That lush drinks like a friggin' fish." Hey, I'm just quoting...

Oh, I wouldn't worry. Hell, he told me that the one with the Great Dane was quite artistic. I'm reserving judgement until I see it, of course...

What's so unbelievable? Don't most women scream out "Oh my God! You're SO much better than /dev/null!"

Oh, I'm sure you'll get them back after he gets them scanned and posted...

I haven't yet heard a Democrat publicly espouse a "phased withdrawal". But then, I haven't heard a Republican recommend it either. Really, I only hear either "We have to complete the mission", without actually explaining what "the mission" is; or "We have to get out of Iraq", without actually explaining when, how, or why. I've assumed in the past that they're all just tossing around sound bytes to entertain the hoi polloi between their bread and circuses...but over the past eighteen months or so, I'm starting to believe these idiots actually believe reality is actually that simple...

Never would have called that, hmm? Actually, I did play soccer for a good number of years. Field was big enough that I didn't have to associate too closely with anyone...

Let ajzepp keep 'em, huh?

I never played sports with anyone...but a guy I work with played WR in high school with Andre Reed as his QB, and is still good friends with him.

And I just want to reiterate:

Tie its shoelaces together.

Actually, the Civil War never really "turned around". Outside the Washington-Richmond corridor, the Union was basically successful. But the coverage of the war where it mattered (i.e. at the time, the Northeast) focused on the inept performance of the Army of the Potomac around the DC and Richmond environs...hence, a "debacle", a bloody stalemate with no end, an unpopular war with unpopular aims, portrayed by a media pushing their own agenda... ...actually, it's a very apropos analogy.

Because of the wide-open border and Lackawana Six. Easy crossing point and relatively large Muslim population Buffalo's too valuable as an infiltration point to risk attacking.

What, he should blindly support you instead?

So let's see if I have this straight: They take threats seriously, you accuse them of fear-mongering for the election. They dismiss them, and you accuse them of being soft on security. That sound about right?

No, he made them with the agricultural and pharmaceutical industry he purchased from/was given by France and Germany. Nerve agents are fairly easy to make if you can make pesticides, and mustard gas is easier still (mix sulfur monochloride - easily attainable to anyone with a petroleum industry - and ethylene - easily attainable to anyone with a pulse, I think I have some in the workshop, actually - and "shake well"). And the Iraqis were sophisticated enough to invent some of their own..."dusty mustard", binding mustard gas to small sand particles, was particularly nasty. Really, this stuff is very well documented, if you'd bother to look.

I found four.

Why don't you strive for a job with real power, and become an actor?

If a QB has more than one child with some kind of ailment, would it be a 200% correlation?

Paradoxical, isn't it? Actually, I didn't say we shouldn't get out of Iraq. What I was saying was: we shouldn't just bring the troops home immediately and without forethought, as a lot of what I'm hearing in campaign ads suggests. I'm pretty sure just packing up and leaving is the wrong way to do it. I much prefer the plan now: a phased hand-over of security tasks to the Iraqi government and draw-down of troops. The problem I see with the plan now is that we're handing control over to a government that's not representative of Iraq, but representative of the American view of Iraqis as simply misguided Americans. And that is ultimately a failure of the aforementioned policy; like most abject failures, the seeds of this one were planted well before its execution, in seemingly sensible and innocuous decisions that no one questioned (i.e. the wisdom of "exporting democracy"). And that is the failure of the nation-building exercise; by trying to force something on people that by definition cannot be forced we installed a government that can't possibly be a national government. I personally doubt we ever could have. But that does NOT mean that abandoning the whole abortive exercise is a better plan. Just because you decide to wrestle a leopard, doesn't mean you should stop completely on the spot the very moment you realize what a stupid decision it was. There are right and wrong ways to go about it.

Maybe we should give tax incentives to good quarterbacks to have more children...

I think you're overqualified for that.
