  • I'll make a stab at translating 'Kerryspeak' of the moment: most of the definitions in my Webster do not even come near the concept I suspect Kerry was refrencing - kinder, gentler war - but the #2 definition fits with his stated beliefs (to the ex…
  • From the looks of the empty arenas over the weekend, there are plenty of seats for several gigntic horses!
  • WARNING! WARNING! Hijack in progress. This thread is about to unravel!
  • I thought I posted this a while ago - but guess not. I saw a study several years ago which seemed to conclude that taller trial lawyers were significantly more successful with juries than shorter attorneys. I don't recall the exact statistics, but I…
  • Unfortunately, I think the info you read is accurate. Several years ago I came accross a study that indicated 'tall' trial lawyers were significantly more successful with juries than 'shorter' trial attorneys. I don't remember the statistical analy…
  • You are in luck! There is an opening and you apparently qualify. Keep in mind though that the entire B of D is nutz as well - no, I mean certified nutz, not just the run of the mill nutz!
  • Every word is absolute gospel! I was periphally involved. The narrative attempt at humor is all mine - the facts and circumstances established by others. The crazy thing is, this center still operates for and by mental health recipients, and the sta…
  • The immorality is that the pope did nothing.
  • Axeman I hope you are one of the 'frequent posters' the gods are willing to smile on temporarily. I have always thought of myself as pretty knowlegeble about FLSA issues, but I have come to rely on you for information backed up by specific citation.…
  • Les - Maybe God is telling you to build a boat. Or, maybe just move to the seashore! This is a sign, do not ignore it! Interpret it the way you like best, and act on it.
  • Remodeling while he's still in it? Very subtle Ray, very subtle!
  • This thread got hijacked somewhere around 'life after HR...'. I'm not sure there will be meaningful life after HR for any of us unless we get this terroist stuff sorted out - and I don't have a clue how to do it, because our beliefs and theirs are s…
  • We might all be surprised what kind of 'idiotic' things make people talk. Things far short of physical torture, in the sense of painful, like exhaustion, too hot or cold, too quiet or noisy, marshall music, babies crying, threats, are all part of g…
  • I guess I've really been asleep. So, it isn't the economy? When did the rules change?
  • Hey Beags, I keep seeing these references to exploiting Iraq's oil. I guess I'm just dense, but I don't see any evidence of the fact of it. Can you educate me please?
  • Larry Thanks for providing factual support for my personal beliefs - well done. I trust that with the permission you granted to Don, you will not mind my sending your post to my daughter, a Bush bashing med student thinking of converting to Judaism.…
  • I agree it is not practical, but it is still great fun to contemplate. The bottom line for me is I would rather face these zealous scums now, AND ON THEIR TERRITORY THAN LATER ON OURS.We will never change their minds, nor will we ever democratize th…
  • Don ( and everyone else interested) we all gotta run home early to catch Oprah and watch her not let our buddy off the hook with his unmitigated pulavering and finally get some 'real' answers..opps, scratch that -wrong day, wrong time, wrong world!
  • But that is precisely the problem with "because I could." It can account for every cheat, every bribe, every body, every_________.I don't know that there arn't bodies, any more than I know there arn't bribes and all manner of deals to benefit his ni…
  • I think I saw the same clip, and it just doesn't make sense. He could do it. So? He could of not done it. Saying he could simply means he had a choice. It says nothing either truthful or deceitful or meaningful; it simply says nothing. And shame on …
  • Yes, he did do America, and yes, she most definately lip synced, and horribly badly at that. It was all the talk on the Detroit radio sport talk stations yesterday, and this ams paper has her reps saying unequivocably she did not sync. Even some idi…
  • So Beags that waas you in the camo paint and the birds nest on your head! Yeah, we hid that 130 in the corn field and no one was ever the wiser. And you havn't heard much from ol John B lately have you? Those were some good times, eh?
  • Am I being outted by a colleague? Shoudda known there were smart ex troops out there. I was lucky enough to have had a great, exciting, important job, and woulda done it for nothin (and almost did). I do though cherish my medal, and would never thro…
  • SDDCHR had a good idea about the x mil. I just happen to have access to the framed commendation accompanying an Air Medal and it says: The airmanship and coursge exhibited by________ in the sucdessful accomplishment of these important missions under…
  • Bold, innovative, aggresive, fair, gracious, generous, humble, prescient, steady, worthy..fill in the blanks. Seriously, this is harder than most of us would admit, and I'm glad it is you and not me. But you probably can't be too flattery (word?) in…
  • And, everyone take notice, I did not say one bad thing about the Lakers in the original post. Ultimately, I think the Lakers graciously acknowledged that this year, this time, the Pistons played better basketball. To the extent there is arrogance, o…
  • You can imagine my expectations when I saw 'tanned in Mexico..view ALL.." Although not the visage I anticipated, still a very lovely surprise. Welcome to the picture posts, and thanks!
  • Some of those are real thigh slappers. I intend to use a few for t-shirt gifts. Thanks.
  • I can't find straightforwardness in my dictionary. Just what kind of a word is it Beag?
  • Safety, you get the prize! Quick; efficient; sure. I'm embaressed I didn't think of the obvious. Take the rest of the day off!
