Saturday Night Bristol Stomp
Funny you should mention street racing the Country Music Network had a show on illegal street racing opposite the Bristol race. I watched a little of that also. Pretty cool watching everyday people racing 100+ MPH illegally on streets, possibly wiping out some family in a mini-van. Really Cool We need to glamorize and encourage that.

Hey that was a fun race. I enjoyed the 3 and 1/2 minutes I watched during Law and Order Commercials Still NASCAR is way better in person, just like hockey.

Israel reportedly has spy in Pentagon
But are you saying it is OK for Israel to spy on the US?

Maybe moveon was correct if Rush, Hannity, Oreilly, Laura, Reagan, and the other 100 conservative talk show hosts didn't take them to task for it.

What are you really eating??
FDA Link, More at Site Actually the FDA does allow acceptable limits of these types of items in your food. The calculator may be off and not set to the exact FDA levels, but make no mistake you are eating rodent and insect parts.

The Curse of Dick Cheney
And changed again. I didn't realize that Cheney served so many presidents all the way back to Nixon.

So what is fair for one side is fair for the other? Just checking and giving you a chance to retract. Or somehow that logic only applies to US-Israel and not Israel-anyone else?

Interesting BBC Interview with a US Marine
There is no proof he was in Texas, or anywhere else for that matter. They cannot find the records and no one remembers. Which brings up another point. Why do these swift boat vets have such great memories yet no one who served in the guard could remember Bush? Perhaps battle sharpens ones memory.

I believe there can be no objective reporting from either side.

But it still sounds like a square dance ;-)

BTW, I should have added to my earlier comments about the allure of NASCAR to say it's also the Executive in the $100,000 RV and the interplay of man and machine. Man getting a machine so finely tuned it is like an extension of himself.

Interesting BBC Interview with a US Marine
You mentioned Kerry was nervous about the effects on veterans, I think most veterans had their minds made up a long time ago. It would take an extraordinary series of events to get them to vote Democratic. YASNY, thank you for proving my point. The swift boat vets are doing the same thing Kerry has done. One of the swift boat vets that has now denied ever being in Cambodia was on the record for stating he was in Cambodia. These guys are tools for others to use in a smear campaign that ultimately will knock down all military honors. It's funny watching both parties react to a unique campaign. A Dem candidate who served and a GOP who used influence to at the min avoid Viet Nam and at worst used it to avoid the National Guard service as well. Shades of Dole - Clinton with each side now getting the chance to play the other guy's cards. Kap has in his sig, they all do it. Don't lose site that each side is now doing what they accused the other of doing during the Clinton races. Dems circa 1992 and 1996 "Viet Nam service didn't matter" now believe it does and vice versa. I think I'm going to be a RINO in this election, but it has nothing to do with what either party did 30+ years ago.

Nuke, I do not believe any Democratic candidate in my generation counted on any veteran votes. The military is very conservative. Even if you go in as a Dem, you'll come out as a GOP.

Presidential candidates cannot pick and choose what they run on. Every candidate will have everything brought up. It would be like stating Bush cannot simultaniously criticize Kerry's anti-war remarks then dismiss his service in Nam. The candidates entire life is open for inspection, praise, and criticism. How many veterans just wanted to leave their service behind them, didn't mention it on resumes, didn't tell war stories, prefering to just let it die? They too, are now enjoying the new found enthusiasm for soldiers. There are many who followed Kerry's path, only in relative obscurity. At the end of the day I think what the swift boat guys are doing will be more damaging than Kerry's remarks a couple decades ago. During a time of great respect for the military, the swift boat vets are the most vocal in dismissing honor medals, throwing into light killing anyone not in regulation uniform, killing anyone not running towards them with a rifle, killing any teenager. I remember a gentleman visiting a neighbor who had the Purple Heart license plates. I told my kids that he was a true hero, someone who had been injured defending our country. I told my kids that medal meant something. Now I'm told they handed them out like candy, that men received them for very minor injuries. Thank you swift boat vets. And a Bronze Star! My God these guys should have momuments to them. But sadly, that too has been portraid as some military charade. Thank you swift boat vets. The swift boat vets too cannot have it both ways. They cannot tear down Kerry without tearing down themselves and every other person who has had the privilege to serve our country's military.
