ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Kerry had his chance. I really wish he would change his mind and run, the GOP would have a flip flop field day, getting all excited and slobbering.

I have a project that required a bunch of photos and decided to try one of the on-line photo printing services. Holding my breath that they won't f*** it up. It was nice not to have to go out in the cold and rain this morning.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 24, 2007 -> 10:57 AM) Would you while being compared to Hitler, et al? Every President ends his term looking the same way. They age in dog years in the Oval Office. It's hard work, pressure every day.

Dear Jim, If nothing else, the last election proved that politics-by-slogan and poll-tested sound bites aren't going to cut it with the American people anymore, and that's why the real test of leadership is not what the President said to Congress last night, but how he works with Congress in the months to come to find real solutions to America's problems. The good news is that in the halls of Congress and across the nation, there is widespread support from both Democrats and Republicans on how to meet the major challenges facing America. Most Americans believe that escalation will not bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end, and that's why I've proposed not just a troop cap, but a phased redeployment that will start bringing our troops home. Most Americans believe that energy independence will come from using more biofuels like ethanol and making cars that actually use less oil, which is why I proposed a bipartisan plan that would raise fuel economy standards for the first time in decades. Most Americans believe that the biggest domestic challenge facing the country is the high cost of health care, and that's why incremental plans that do nothing to bring down costs or guarantee coverage are simply no longer sufficient. We must pass universal health care for every American. The American people are looking for something new. They are hungry for a different kind of politics. In the last week, I've been humbled and inspired to see more than 100,000 of you sign up to join our efforts to change the debate in this country, so that we can begin solving our common problems and pursuing our common dreams. Last night was an evening for rhetoric and promises. But now is the time for action - now is the time to actually get something done. You deserve leadership that's commensurate to the challenges we face in this country, and I look forward to working with all of you to make this happen in the days and months to come. Sincerely, U.S. Senator Barack Obama Allow Ol' Tex to translate from that political double speak: retreat, gettin' out, pulling out, leaving, letting them cover their own asses, adios mother f***ers, good bye desert, hello dessert, saving the budget, saving the GOP,

No offense to Bush in this comment, but he's one man, the Nation's and World's problems are large. He looks like he is carrying them all on his shoulders. I sensed a just let me make it until the end and get the hell out vibe. He hasn't looked like he is enjoying the job anymore.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 24, 2007 -> 05:58 AM) As opposed to the 50+ years where the Catholic League didn't do jack and s*** in regards to abuses their priests perpetrated on countless thousands of children. Faulty logic. Ever been drunk? Then never sday drunk driving is bad. Did you get in a fist fight growing up? Then never say violence doesn't solve problems. The US can not moake comments on anyone's economy, we had a Depression. Don't talk about military strategy, Bay of Pigs. Etc. Intelligent people learn from their mistakes. Other people try to prop up weak arguments when it fits their belief structure. And God help us when we consider entertainment to be watching a child get raped. Sick.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 24, 2007 -> 12:34 AM) Why are there two dildoes hanging off the United States? Those are the routes that the terrorists *really* take, not the one from the south they want you to *think* they are taking. When the Mexican fence is built, the terrorists win.

What does Bill Clinton and Moshe haave in common . . .

QUOTE(NUKE @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/blogs/marquee/index.html Seems people are unnerved at this new movie which depicts the rape of a minor. I just found delicious irony in the fact that the Catholic Church is all up in arms about a depiction of such an attack when it has turned a blind eye to and obstructed probes of ACTUAL attacks by its own priests. So in your world, actually learning from your past mistakes is not a good thing?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 11:14 AM) Hey, Tex, where on the Comedy Central videos page did you find the link/script to embed one of their videos into a post? Got one I'd like to put up, but can't figure out where to get the linkage. It was just below and to the right of the video player. You also have to turn on HTML here for it to work.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 09:23 AM) Trucker hats are soooooooooo 2004. Last summer Bermuda shorts (are those the same as board shorts?) were huge for both men and women. I also tend to think they're more universally flattering than shorter shorts. I'm not sure if they'll be big this summer still. There was some concern that the women on staff would prefer a shorter short that the guys. We also have to include function into the equation. They will be wearing these 10 hours a day, in and out of the water. I assumed the trucker cap was out, what's in?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 08:48 AM) In: White Sox and Saluki Gear Out: Cubs and Illini Gear I few years back, a West Coast Choppers "inspired" (ok ripped off) design was popular at the camp we were at. I was lookign at some WOW graphics and seeing how I could adapt them. Also the Wii stuff.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 08:21 AM) You're too old to care about being cool, at that age it is just creepy I gotta make certain people will buy this stuff. Old guy stuff is just a really bad idea :-) I also don't want the staff to feel stupid in the uniform. Added to the list, I need about 2 hours of music for a Pachanga. Think Hawaiian meets Mexico party. About 15 minutes will be Patriotic during the fireworks, but the rest will be a mix of Jimmy Buffet, Dred Zepplin, Beach Boys, Modest Mouse, The Who,and ???? need some ideas that fit being outside oin the Gulf.

I need to start buying stuff for my camp this summer. I also need to design t-shirts, caps, hats, and other items. What's hot, what's not? Trucker's caps? Big t-shirt designs on front/back/small designs, etc. I need to theme for four different t0shirts one each for SCUBA, sailing, fishing, and Island Adventure. I also need to order staff uniforms which will be blue swim trunks and a heather grey t-shirt. But are longer "board shorts" in or something shorter? You kids are such a mystery to me

Remote Control MTV's first game show and arguably their best. Dead or Canadian? Brady Physics?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 12:28 AM) I formerly pass the legislation and tomorrow I'll make a couple adds to the main posts (most of wite's will be added as will nuke's renaming of the award to the Reagan/JFK awards. Consider Paul Simon / Jim Thompson keeping a nice local slant and every Sox fan should have a soft spot for Big Jim.

anyone stumble across this site? http://musicovery.com/index.php?ct=us

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 06:55 PM) There's a photo of me trying to bust a move....I think I busted something. I also apparently passed out, or at least tried to seek refuge in numerous closets. That's what I love about Colts fans . . .

How about honoring Paul Simon or Adlai Stevenson?

QUOTE(NUKE @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) Yeah.........and Pat Robertson?! What's that about? He's not a conservative, he's a straight up loon. I move that we rename the political awards Ronald Reagan for Conservatives and JFK for Liberals. Works for me. Better than a commie and a loony

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) ....and those 2 aren't really even a contest of anything with the hundreds of registered posters IMO. It's always the same people. Conservatives=NUKE, YASNY, kapomet, Alpha Dog Liberal=Balta, Flasoxjim, Soxy, LCR, Texsox, Rex Kickass. Hey, one year I was on both lists Personal opinion, while I will proudly wear a liberal title, I would not wear a Hugo Chavez title. Frankly I'm a little disappointed at that description.
