When I was a kid I got an album of the story of The Invisible Man. It filled both sides of the album. I used to scare myself playing it. Also had one with stories like The Tell Tale Heart. Then I got the 45 of the 70's Sabres song, "We're gonna win that Cup...me and the Buffalo Sa-a-bres, oh yeah!" (still have it). First musical recording I got was a cassette of Elvis Aloha from Hawaii.

North Korea has demonstrated that they have missles that can reach Japan and possibly even Alaska, and they have demonstrated that they have nuclear weapons, yet we didn't attack them. We were fed the same bull about Iraq having the capability of flying a pilotless drone plane to the U.S., and that the smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud. This administration has no credibility in my and most American's books. If Europe felt so threatened by Iranian missles, they would be attacking Iran. The fact that they don't call for attacks is telling.

Congressional leadership was briefed, but they weren't consulted to provide their input, and they can't discuss it publicly. So in the end the administration does what it wants even if it isn't what was agreed to with the Congress. It happened before when they overstepped their wiretapping authority. After it became public knowledge, Rockefeller said he knew about it beforehand but was legally bound not to discuss it even though he knew it was wrong. What a screwed up process. I want the media to let us know when the president is violating agreements with Congress that the Congressional leadership is legally bound not to discuss publicly. If the president would stick to what he agreed to with the Congress, there would be no need to scrutinize the programs in public.

If the media can come upon the information, don't you think that other countries and groups who may be affected by the actions can arrive at similar conclusions? I want the media out there scrutinizing our government and informing us of what is being done without our approval or Congressional oversight.

I'm not aware of anyone who's part of Obama's campaign attacking McCain's service. Just as there's people who favor McCain but are not part of his campaign who say controversial things, so too are there Obama supporters. The most either can do is disavow statements and reiterate their own views. In the end it's what they say and do that counts.

Yeah, I always have a camera ready to film in case a turkey flies over my car.

No love for an original; Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched?

I once had a turkey fly over my car to get across a two lane road. I was expecting it to come through my windshield, but it made it over without contact.

I saw Wesley Clark on Face the Nation. Bob Schaffer begged the question (paraphrase) doesn't being a pilot and being shot down qualify McCain to be president? Clark answered no that doesn't qualify a person to be president, which is a true statement. Clark also said he respected and admired McCain's service. It was expected that McCain supporters would take it out of context. In the same show, Joe Libermann said that he thinks it's likely that the U.S. will face another terrorist attack in 2009, so that's a reason to elect McCain. So we should elect someone who will continue the same policies as Bush even though it won't make a difference because we're likely to be attacked anyways?

We let North Korea get them, they created enough material for 6-8 nuclear weapons before dismantling their plant. Was it worth going to war over? No. It could be the October suprise to scare people into voting for McCain. But hopefully people will see through the politics of fear this time. Otherwise Iran could cut off the oil lanes through the Strait and we'll see $300 a barrel oil. Then the oil companies will scream about how we need to give them more domestic drill sites. Hmm, interesting how it all comes back to the oil companies.

Fondly fondling, whatever he was doing it worked for the majority of Americans.

If it's true and not just another unsubstantiated rumor, given that he's the best president we had in the past 40 years, and most Americans look back fondly on the peace and prosperity during his administration compared to what we have now, I'm sure Obama will give him the proper accolades and Bill will come around. They just finished a tough campaign where Bill was falsely accused by Obama supporters of being a racist, and that probably hurt for someone who has a history of being a friend to the African American community.

Afraid he'd get a tape of you seducing your chest of drawers?

If I was one of the fathers I would have held out for a free night at Shotgun Willys.

I hope you want a major in international studies, because you'll be matriculating in Iraq.

Let's not rehash the primaries, but I'll just say he was never vetted to the degree he should have been, otherwise Rev Wright and other issues would have come to light sooner. And if the Clintons had brought them up, they would have been labelled as racists (again). The media dropped the ball. That's my last word and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm not bitter, just disappointed. Obama is facing many of the questions now that should have been asked at the beginning of the primaries, but being the fresh face, he got a pass from the press early on. I said from the start he wasn't the agent of change he said he was, and recent policy shifts have made him more mainstream, thus the increased scrutiny. But even so, he's a change from the Bush/McCain policies, which is the change I'm most interested in. I don't care about how the sausage gets made, as long as it gets made to my taste.

So if they were put in solitary confinement for life without the alleged benefits, would that satisfy you? If not, your argument is moot.

The primary purpose of a car is transportation, not to injure. The primary purpose of a gun is to injure.

Apples and oranges. The areas affected in Al and MS were smaller, less urban, and were affected more by the winds than the flooding. New Orleans had a huge number of lower income people without personal transportation and more damage was done due to the flooding after the storm. You're doing a heck of a job, cincy.

That's quite an argument; allowing people to have handguns is worth the sacrifice of all the kids who die from handgun accidents. The NRA should put that on a bumper sticker.

Taking another person's life when they pose no further threat to another person is premeditated and lowers our own standards. The right way is not always the easy way. Pope JPII forgave the man who tried to kill him. I'm not saying I could ever do that, but executing someone isn't going to change the past, and hasn't been proven to be a deterrent.

Great, another distraction to take driver's eyes off the road. How soon before some guy causes an accident because he had one hand on the mouse surfing the web for porn and the other on his crank.
