Well, Bush never has been a team player. His autocratic tendencies are what led some commentator (can't remember who) to refer to him as King George II.

I remember my Alabama friend's reaction when I proudly told her about the University of Oregon Ducks' new stadium and how it seated 55,000 people. She just laughed and said, "You call that a stadium? Auburn's seats 100,000!" Never felt so tiny in…

Personally, I think the whole bloody lot of them from the guy with the funny first name Don cites to GW himself are irrelevant - especially GW, who is doing more to harm this country than Carter ever did.
-
I think even better, something patterened after the Kilpatrick/Alexander duo on the old "Point/Counterpoint" that 60 Minutes used to run. Don could do the conservative view and Gillian could do the liberal. I'd buy tickets to that. x:-)

Carter may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but I respect the man very much - especially his work for Habitat for Humanity. I still maintain that Jimmy Carter was not suited to be president because of his shortcomings: He is not ruthle…

Too bad. I was in the mood for a little Martha and the Vandellas (that is who did the song, right?)
-
What's the deal? Flip-flopping at the White House has been a time-honored tradition since Nixon. x;-)

I hear it's not that uncommon to require freshmen and sophomores to live on campus. My nephew went to Brown (just a couple years ago) and he was required to live in the dorm for the first two years he was there.

"The rule for guys apparently was that photographs require a suit or sports coat and tie with dark dress shoes." My older brother (this was circa '62) was suspended from school for refusing to button the top button of his shirt for a class picture.…

Aw, Don, I'm just loathe to admit that I have to agree with you, is all. x;-)

I'm here. Just been busy preparing for two weeks in Alabama. Actually - although I'm loathe to say this - some excellent points have been made. I remember Somalia and our attempt to get food to them; look what happened there! Guess it's nice to …

They won't go after Slogan. He's one of the good ol' boys - you know, a 'publican! x;-)

ANYONE would prefer the company of a six year old over mine! But Danica Patrick in NASCAR? Aw, who cares? I'd still drink her bath water.

But, Gillian, considering the relatively low-tech method of suicide bombing, aren't you a bit surprised that we haven't been hit by one in this country yet? There must be some reason. I expected a rash of suicide bombings around Christmas time in …

Unfortunately, the Muslim extremists are not going away anytime soon. Don't forget, we have been The Great Satan since the days of the Ayatollah Khomeini and they've been gunning for us for over 20 years now. As far as putting the country in lockd…

I was born of parents who were rabid Kennedy democrats. When I first registered to vote, I registered as a democrat, but switched to the republican party because I thought some of the dem's ideas were a little out there for my taste. I switched ba…

It is pretty funny. When I watched the pilot, the thought that struck me was "who in the heck trained these managers?"
-
I've seen this before - it's kind of a sobering passage. However, I find it a little disturbing that nearly half the signers were lawyers and jurists x;-)

First two things the range safety officer taught us during weapons training (and these were Army instructors, mind you): 1)Never put your finger inside the trigger guard unless you intend to fire the weapon; 2)Never check to see if your weapon is l…

Cool, NG! Welcome to the dubious ranks of Forumites who have posted their pictures! Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you ACTUALLY have your finger inside the trigger guard in the top photo? Shame! x;-)
-
Can you do that legally?

Not to worry - it's a novelty. I finally figured out how to make the thing work from my home computer and there was nothing good on TV. x;-) Besides, midnight on M Lee Smith time is only 10 pm my time.

My big plans are to kick back, relax and sharpen my liberal edge by reading the works of Al Franken, John F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Robert F. Kennedy, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, and every other enlightened …

But was not this war (ostensibly) about liberating the Iraqis, not defeating them or occupying their country? That's what I was told early on. I remember vividly a soldier who was disciplined early in the war when they took over a town from the Ir…

I'm not even going to address the attempted backhanded comment on my military service. Ain't takin' the bait, Don. My question is simply why we would negotiate with terrorists? Are we thereby acknowledging that we can't pummel them into submissio…
-
Rumsfumble - er, Rumsfeld - acknowledged we were talking with the insurgents on "This Week with George Stephanopolous" on ABC yesterday. So, yes, it appears we have abandoned our time-honored public policy of never negotiating with terrorists.
-
It will move along quickly now - we're negotiating with the insurgents and I'm sure they'll be reasonable. Hey, so what does this do to our stated policy of NEVER negotiating with terrorists? x;-)
-
Now, there's consistency if ever I saw it! x;-)

Oh, c'mon, Judy! You're way too young to be a grandma!!!!
