August 7, 2006 NOTE FROM LARRY: Chicago Bulls' mascot Benny the Bull ran afoul of the law recently, getting arrested (in costume) for attempting to punch a police officer. Benny had apparently been tooling around on a motorcycle in an area set aside for the "Taste of Chicago" food festival. The Top 9 Things That Drove Benny the Bull Berserk 9> All shook up after reading "Slaughterhouse Five." 8> Constantly being set up on blind dates with the Minnesota Vikings mascot. 7> Elsie the Cow still won't give it up! 6> New item at the concession stand: Rocky Mountain Oysters. 5> Whenever the Dow falls, the Chicago Bears mascot always gets in his face. 4> "Tyson Chandler: You're seven freakin' feet tall. POST UP, ALREADY!!!" 3> His lady friend swore off red meat, if you know what I'm saying. 2> Cheerleaders never deliver after promising him a "beef jerky." and the Number 1 Thing That Drove Benny the Bull Berserk... 1> *WAY* too much Red Bull.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 4, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) Find me one person on the new SNL that has a glimmer of the talent that Bill Murray has. Or John Belushi...or Chevy Chase in his prime...or Gilda Radner. Will Ferrell is the best that show has turned out since Eddie Murphy, and no matter how much I might enjoy Ferrell, even he is nothing compared to those guys in their prime. I will agree with the generational thing to a degree, but with Murray and Belushi especially, there was no generation divide. Heck, I hear younger people speak poorly about Sandler as much as people my age. He yells...a lot...is that humor (sit down Mr. Kinison)? That divide rarely happened with Murray. Hey, but if you like SNL and all it's cast, then what the heck, ignore me. I'm old and forgetting where I put my dentures anyways. They also had the advantage of no ghosts to chase. What is interesting is how much credit we give the on-air talent, I believe the writers were better in the 70s. While the cast is important, without good material that matches their talents, the show sucks. I believe Chase, Belushi, etc couldn't be successful with some of those scripts.

I posted this to one of my Scouting e-lists. Cool event.

From a slightly different angle, is it possible to disagree with Israel's actions and reactions and the strategy they are taking, and not be perceived as an anti-semite? In most corners it seems not. Even though there are citizens in Israel that disagree with the current path, anyone else will come off as a hater. Israel is in a difficult situation. They are expected to always take the higher, moral path. To turn the other cheek. With the US footing the bill for much of their defense, but directly to them and in payments to their enemies to be nice, I believe the US should have a loud voice in Israel's actions and reactions.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) To be brutally honest, SNL needs more raging alcoholics and drug abusers. That was some of their best years.

I've always wondered why teams pitch to Crede in those situations. He rarely has an opportinuty to draw a walk, they just come at him. I keep waiting for teams to start pitching around him.

You planning on having Kap as your campaign treasurer? I'll bet there could be some really cool campaign posters. Let's have a Soxtalk, send Mike to the School Board contest I believe you would be excellent as a shool board member, you've been boaring us for years

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 07:24 AM) Uhhh, what? I just think that guns and booze don't mix. And any sheriff who can't see that and orders his deputies to be armed 24/7 regardless of situation or context is pretty dumb. Damn you Rex. This is law enforcement. They can do whatever they want, ordinary citizens have no right to criticize. Damn the Constitution!

QUOTE(minors @ Aug 3, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) Yeah our cops go around people all the time. I forgot that cops are the enemy and the murdering thugs are our friends. Way to go Joe now if any deputy sees these thugs in action he can take them down right then and there. I love a guy who is not worried about liberalism, lawsuits or being politicaly correct and only worries about the people of his county. And Rex forgot that cops are are not people also, and none of them actually have social lives that include having a drink. Wouldn't carrying their service gun place them on duty 24/7? Or can they carry and grab a couple beers at a game?

Put Kinky Over the Top Eighteen months of hard work by all of you have put Kinky in position to win this race. Huge crowds appear everywhere he goes, and his media exposure has been amazing—just last month his campaign to change Texas got national profiles in Newsweek and The Washington Post, not to mention articles in every major paper in the Lone Star State. People are learning that Kinky's campaign holds the best chance to rid Texas of the politics-as-usual establishment that has sent our state to the bottom in every way that matters. Every poll that counts all Texans has Kinky running away with this race. And even in the "likely voter" polls, Kinky has climbed to a solid second-place position. This is our race to win Until now, Kinky has been able to compete in a race that will be defined by millions. Modern campaigns spend 70% of their warchests in the last months of election season—on TV and radio ads. If we can get Kinky on the air, we can win this election. Click below to make a contribution that will help us compete in the crucial "media wars" that will take place in September and October: https://www.kinkyfriedman.com/contribute/index.html?ref=1004 Help the message of clean energy, clean government, and a fresh start for Texas echo across our great state and inspire others to stand up vote for change on November 7th. -Go Kinky!

I have mentioned a few times, let the voters in Sugarland determine his fate.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 04:55 AM) Maybe the opposition should call their bluff and pass it. They'll get their new minimum wage. No wait. That can't happen, because the Republicans would then get the credit. We can't have that now, can we? Block it! Yep, both sides play the same game. It would end of conservatives complained about the GOP using it and liberals would complain about the Dems doing it. Complaining about the other party just ratchets up the us v. them that is quickly dividing the country and allowing out elected representatives to do whatever the hell they want. Citizens need to fix their own parties first.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) Wrong. There are going to be A LOT more people getting high because the drug is legalized and a large percentage of this new demographic is going to be driving around high. I'm not certain I agree, perhaps there will be a decrease in DUI/alcohol. I would like to know if pot is abused more than alcohol and if there are many people who would get high, but not get drunk, and if they would be likely to drive. It is cause for concern.

My legs are still all cramped up from 25 hours on Buses, cars, planes and trains.... Welcome back, thanks for asking me to go with you . . . BTW, did you save a few dollars for a massage after the trip?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) It so stupid to call pot a gateway drug. What % of people have used alcohol and/or tobacco before using any kind of drug? How come those are never called "gateway" drugs? Oh right, because we collect taxes on them and they are legal. It's also important to mention how much money will be lost by the big time drug dealers if their product became more easily attainable. I agree that you can link many items from mother's milk to McDonalds cheesburgers as precedents to hard core drug use. I believe part of the gateway is the procurement process. You can not buy heroin from the local tobacco shop. The liquor store probably isn't selling crack. By legalizing pot, and bringing it into the liquor stores and bars, it takes it out of the drug dealers. Hence my statement. Pot is usually the first illegal drug used.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) If that were the case, why do they never defend gun owners who feel their civil rights are violated? Because they have an agenda. That is why they interpret the second amendment with a much 'softer' stance than they do all the rest. If the applied the same standards to gun rights as they do to the supposed 'sepration of church and state', they would be advocating mandatory gun ownership for all. Also, I believe it was brought up earllier that the ACLU has to be asked first, otherwise they can file amicus curiae briefs (I think that's what they are called) in support of positions it favors, but was not asked to help. Part of their "agenda" is giving a voice to those that don't have one. We have a very powerful gun lobby in this country. When the lowest are protected, we are all protected. I can't stand those idiots, but if they are allowed their free speech rights, I sleep better at night knowing you and I can debate and not worry about who is in power and the secret thought police knocking down our doors. Heads, add me to that list.
