"As Bob Dole said today, "Three purple hearts and the man never shed blood. He used superficial wounds, one self inflicted, as a means to be rotated out of Viet Nam" " ... "Did I hear correctly that one of you feels we should leave our fate more to…

Clinton is another matter, and not especially relevant for purposes of this discussion. But, frankly, yes. I do think Bush's ANG service was less important than Kerry's. In the 60s and 70s, the ANG in many states was jokingly referred to as a fl…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-23-04 AT 03:22PM (CST)[/font][br][br]You just hit on one of my pet peeves, Ray. The only thing that I really hate about the Democrats are the hangers-on and fringe-fanatics who insist on showing up a…

Even with all the debate over the swiftboat issue, I am still undecided about who I am going to vote for. The biggest part of my logic tells me "better the devil you know" and I lean toward Bush. But then I get to thinking and, yes, I would like t…

Doggone it, Whatever! I was gonna say that! x;-)

Too bad Bush didn't see fit to denounce them a week or so ago.

Comparatively speaking, yes.

I agree. I was on active duty when McPeak was CSAF and, since he now lives in Portland, actually got to see him at the base a couple of times. I agree with your assessment - but you have to admit that when he changed the officer's uniform that was…

Little too much time on our hands this afternoon, HRinNH? x;-) Day before yesterday was Bad Poetry Day Tomorrow is Poet's Day September 9 is Wonderful Weirdos Day September 19 is Talk Like A Pirate Day November 19 is Have A Bad Hair Day Day

I was deployed to another base in the early 90s for a period of time that coincided with my birthday. I was conducting a joint investigation with the Safety Office and the staff (1 male 3 females) found out it was my birthday. They took me to lunc…

That's why I stopped using my Systran translation software. Got tired of Spanish-speaking ee's reading my memos and laughing until they cried. x;-)
-
... looks more like showing off, to me. x;-) But then, I'm probably just envious because I don't speak Spanish.

No, and the whole thing looked pretty stupid to tell you the truth - Darva Conger was head-and-shoulders taller than Korbett, had a longer reach, and about 50 pounds on her. But that wasn't as much of a mismatch as the 7-7 basketball player again…

While I was cooling my heels in Alabama last week, I found myself watching TV one evening and stumbled across Celebrity Boxing. Darva Conger vs. Olga Korbett, a former Olympic gymnast. As far as I'm concerned, even though Olga is only 45 she looks…

"I think dogs run when they talk!" Huh? x:-/

Much nicer than Portland, Sonny. Only in the 70s-80s in 'Bama while it was up in the high 90s here in Portland. For once, I hated to come home. x:-) Not wanting to hijack the thread, I will contribute to the discussion - yes, you CAN have too man…

NM Tom, you seem to have touched a few nerves here among the Forum women... Glad it's somebody else in their crosshairs for a change. x;-)

It worked, but I cheated. I seldom eat chocolate more than a couple times a year. Do I get bonus points or penalty points? x;-)

I thought Ray did a thread about something similar to this awhile back. But I think all of this comparison of size begs the question: If you line up 5000 Forumites (that includes both paid and unpaid participants) end to end, how far would they re…

Actual quote as reported by ABC News. It was also reported that nobody in the Pentagon audience (mostly military brass) reacted.

Can you reduce all this to a recipe for the HR Hero Sandwich thread? x;-) Hope you get the job - if not, just enlist in the Army, they could use your talents in the kitchen. x;-) Welcome back!

Have fun, Safety. Little chilly on the OR coast this weekend (in the 60s), so Telluride might be a better bet. x:-)

I don't know, Leslie. Sure, he became a little more comfortable as he got into it, but I think he really needs a speech coach. Even at the end I thought he was pretty stiff.

Call Kerry's HQ and ask 'em. I'm sure they'll accommodate, Sonny. x:-)
-
Allegedly, tax relief for those making less than $200,000 a year (I'll believe it when I see it) - and a set of Ginsu steak knives. x;-) But more appealing than that (to me anyway) is less shoot-from-the-lip gunboat diplomacy (and before anyone sta…

You're a delegate? Cool! See if you can catch Dubya doing something embarassing or Cheney telling someone to, well, you know. x:-)

Yahoo, don't mistake his "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" voice with his "Everybody Must Get Stoned" voice - two entirely different sounds. I have heard that when he recorded Knockin' on Heaven's Door and Lay, Lady, Lay, it was after he had quit smoking…
