You probably didn't like the cheerleaders either . . .

I felt like I was out in San Angelo at a diner . . .

I've heard most, hell I've said most of those, but this one is new. LMAO, I'm using it ASAP.

> The Road Less Graveled > September 18th, 2004 > > > [A down home message for Dan Rather in the colorful Texas idiom he so loves] > > Y'all know what we all been thinkin' out here in Texas, Dan, since you started all this foolishness? We think y'all been whizzin' down our necks an' tellin' us it's rain for so long that you boys done got to believin' it yourselves. Heck, we think maybe you been back East so long you got yourself thinkin' us folks out here couldn't hit sand if we fell off our horses; couldn't hit water if we fell outta the boat. Danged if you ain't been treatin' us like you think we got squirrels swimmin' in our gene pools or sumthin.' You need to remind yourself that a tree don't ever get too big for a short dog to lift his leg on, Dan. > > Bout them documents bein' genuine; well, hells-bells, Danny Boy, Grannie's glasses are so thick, when she looks at a bare wall she sees folks wavin' at her, an' even she can tell them memos are bout as phony as hips on a rattlesnake. We're startin' to think your brain done got harder than a woodpecker's lips if you can't see that. As far as that story 'bout George an' his National Guard duty, looks to us like you're tryin' to put wheels on a cow an' call it a dairy truck. Then you go pokin' up her butt hopin' you're gonna find ice cream. Besides, ever time you durn fools put that picture of young George in his flyboy outfit on the TeeVee, ol' Jane Fonda loses another herd of her Vagina Voters. Hell, Charlene says that sweet boy's purtier than my new tangerine metalflake bass boat. > > Well, Danny, you still ain't lost all your redneck habits; you boys took one pickup load to the dump an' come back with two. Dadgummit, Dan, where you gittin' all this stuff? You been callin' some kinda mystery numbers that ol' boy, whatsisname, Kenneth, is bringin' you offa bathroom walls at truck stops? Somethin' you oughta be worryin' about, Danny Boy: you know how the boys say when you go on a hunt always make sure to save a round for your huntin' guide? Like if he don't find nuthin' else for you to shoot? You suppose any a them rich, fancy-shmancy, New York dudes you work for ever been on a hunt and heard that, Dan, hmmm? > > You know how you always been fond a sayin' you feel like a long tailed cat in a room full a rockin' chairs? Well, seems to us like you're startin' to look more like the ground floor tenant in a two-story outhouse. Yeah, for sure you ain't lookin' like the tallest hog at the trough no more. Why, we bet you got yourself wired so tight right now that if we stuck a chunk a coal up your butt it'd come out a diamond in about five minutes. Last time we seen you on TeeVee your smile looked like Charlene's little ol' chihuahua dog that time he bit down on one a them ol' yeller-jacket wasps; you know, kinda like that look a feller gets when he squats with his spurs on. > > An' about your boss, that city slicker fella, Johnnie Klein, the one said somethin' bout all us sittin' out here in our long johns? Well we're gonna give him some advice so good he can take it out back an' bury it in a Mason jar. You see, the fact is, Danny Boy, now that all us earthworms is gittin' guns, you big birds is gonna have to be more careful bout where you're peckin.' Somebody needs to tell that dude, Klein, that his cage may still be turnin' but his squirrel's done died. Course, maybe the boy can't help hisself; it might run in the family, you know, generic. We heard tell when he was born his ol' momma carried the little feller around upside down for a whole year wonderin' why he only had one eye. > > Yeah them ol' boys up there at Power Line done gone an' slapped you dudes nekkid an' hid your clothes. Them blogger cats watched you fellers jump in that ol' litter box an' they just flat covered you up, quicker 'n slicker than WD 40 on a doorknob. Yeah you boys done gone skinny dippin' in a pond full a snappin' turtles. Looks like them broadcastin' geniuses at CBS done let them yeller-dog Democrats talk you inta sellin' your mule so you could buy a plow. When you crawled into the sack with little Miss McCauliffe you done got yourself a real ugly bed partner there, Dan, like a real three-bagger, I mean. You know the drill: one bag over her head, one over yours and one over the dog's so's at least he'll have some respect for you come mornin.' > > Before all y'all up there at CBS go tryin' to saddle up another hog for a quarter horse race, you need to think about this: us ol' boys out here know a keyboard ain't where you hang the pickup keys and a byte ain't what Bubba's pit bull did to Cousin Billy; we know modem ain't what we did when the weeds got up to the porch and digital ain't countin' on our fingers, least not any more. Yeah, we done got ourselves a dog in this fight, a bloggin' pit bull, Dan Boy, an' he's justa slobberin' for another big ol' bite of Liberal blubber butt. Didn't your ol' daddy ever tell you that you ain't never gonna be the brightest bulb on the tree if you go huntin' bobcats with a BB gun? > > But cheer up, Dan, maybe one a these days all you pointy-headed, liberal, media fellers will see the light. Course, seein's where y'all seem to be keepin' them pointy heads, it'll prob'ly be one a them there things the doctors use. > > Whatcha call 'em, proctoscopes? > > > Russ Vaughn > A Texan > > P.S. Charlene says to yell you don't even think about comin' back to Texas. Way folks out here feel, you'd have to tie a pork chop around your neck just to get a dog to play with you. Well, and maybe Mollie Ivins. > > Russ Vaughn is a Vietnam veteran, Texan, and Poet Laureate of The American Thinker > > > > Russ Vaughn

Jeb is loved throughout Florida. Watching the coverage proved that for me. I think the Bush Family Dynasty (BFD) is on an upswing in the Sunshine State.

LMAO, they just dropped off my yard sign. I now have one candidate's bumper sticker on my car and another's lawn sign in my yard. I live in a house divided.

I just pray we don't lose our right to a free press in all this. As of today, the GOP is winning their battle to discredit any press that isn't favorable.

American businesses are great marketers and imitators. Why aren't more media outlets copying Fox? Would you agree that Fox's strategy out of the gate was to produce a conservative friendly newscast and jump on the bandwagon startedby rush, et. al.?

But then I hear conservatives point to how successful Fox, Rush, Hannity, etc. are and explain that's because they are doing it right? I get a feeling conservatives just want to read dirt on liberals and happy stuff about the GOP. Whenever a negative story appears concerning the GOP, there is always the wave of outcry about media bias. The GOP is making itself criticism proof and we all lose because of it. I guess a point could be made that Bush is perfect and any negative stories are just media bias, but I believe hannity and rush are the only two that really believe that. If the Watergate breakin happened today, it wouldn't have been given 1/2 a column of ink and the GOP mouthpieces would have killed it in moments.

A companion issue is how many Americans should die to solve a problem in another country? Should 1000 Americans die to save one person? How about 100:1? how about 1:100? We could solve all the world's problems with evil dictators, it will just cost us millions of lives when North Korea starts dropping nukes, and we invade 40 or 50 countries. Meanwhile, elderly people in cities all across this nation cannot leave their homes after dark.

Journalism should be about ratings and profits not about truth and the public trust, now I get it. If the public wants pictures of smiling school kids in Iraq instead of Kerry swift boat stories, give them the kids. If the public is tired of reports of government wrong doings, give them happy stuff. If the viewers only want negative stories about Dems, give them that. And this will make our country better?

I feel the trickle! Link Here Well if making the wealthy wealthier helps us all, we're in for a windfall soon.

I didn't know news could be divided up as conservative and liberal. It wasn't until the GOP made a campaign of punishing anyone who dares to criticize them that anyone even thought in these terms. I cannot wait for the Government Broadcasting System like TAAS in the old Soviet Union. It would have been nice to have. Nixon and Clinton would be hailed as heroes without the damn press.

Liberal media trying to make President Kennedy look good and feel good while sitting on that island with Elvis and the aliens.

Next time you visit Mexico I have a stack of pesos for ya . . .

Have you watched any reality TV? It aint just females. Hell guys do stupid stuff on a dare. Hell, double dog dare a guy and he'll do anything especially if a couple buddies are around.

Link Here Which GOPer will be the first to claim this is CBS trying to curry favor with the administration?

Then Reagan wouldn't of had to single handedly destroy the Soviet Union, Bush would have done for him. Of course we might not have been around either . . .

Is it because they do not want viewers and profits?

Thank you, In many poorer schools a greater percentage of their operating budget goes into security instead of teachers, resulting in larger class sizes. Instead of racism how about preserving the class system of the have and have nots? All the more reasons why our military is darker than our general population.

See there's the problem, conservatives want the press to push stuff.

I thought you said the terrorists.

Unfortunately based in part on how we fund education in this country the poor do not arrive at college's doors with the same set of tools as others. Funding schools through property taxes has been a great way to continue the class system in this country. Middle class and rich schools can pay for better qualified, more experienced teachers, up do date text books, computers, decent classroom conditions, etc. Highland Park Texas, Kap's neck of the woods, requires a PhD to teach science in their high school. Los Fresnos High School in south Texas finally was able to hire a science teacher under a federal program that will forgive part of a teacher's student loans if they teach in disadvantaged schools. Which student is more likely to be successful in a college Bio-tech program? It isn't always about desire, or hard work. Racism is still alive and well in this country. Companies still discriminate. Small business is the fastest growing segment of the population and largly uneffected by anti-discrimination laws. Is anyone aguing that being born middle class, straight, thin, and white is a disadvantage in this country? The only question is how big of an advantage is it? Anyone have an alternate theory why more minorities die fighting wars in the this country then they are represented in the general population?

Oklahoma City isn't exactly a high profile target. I wouldn't be to surprised if terrorists did try and strike in the heart land. Sadaam and his government was evil, but more importantly, we knew we could kick their ass. I am also beginning to wonder if kicking the s*** out of some country wasn't a great way for our country to gain back some self respect and help our collective conciousness. Nice to know if anyone else decides to start something we can destroy them in a few months.
