Good points, Crout. As for the others above, I'm sure there are statistics in existence to make any point you care to. But as a registered voter in Travis County, I'm more than satisfied with Mr. Earle. And as a Texan, I'm ashamed of Mr. DeLay S…

That sounds about right. I admire and respect Ronnie Earle a lot, and I think he's about as non-partisan as it's possible to be.
-
But let's not forget he was indicted here in Texas, my county of Travis to be exact. And in keeping with the highest tradition of "fair and balanced" journalism, our local Fox affiliate's lead-in line for this story was "Partisan Travis County D.A. …

"Oh well, life is getting back to normal and I'm back to Tuesday & Thursday reality. Gotta love it!!!" For a minute there, I thought you meant that you only participated in reality (as in real life) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, then I realized yo…

Thanks, FunBanker! I got lucky and found out that a friend had taped it, so I'll be ready to start the race a week late by the next episode. You gotta love the autumn season...cooler temps and fresh TV shows.

Oh noooo -- I missed it! And Amazing Race is my favorite reality show. Didn't realize it premiered last night, as I planned my evening around Part 2 of the PBS Martin Scorcese Bob Dylan documentary....which was fabulous, by the way. Is it family te…

Actually the one in Texas is Nacogdoches, but you got the pronunciation close (it's really Naca-doe-ches). Others call it Naca-nowhere; I just say it's behind the Pine Curtain. Probably the most mispronounced place in Texas is Pedernales -- the riv…

Yeah, but I bet that ol' gal Willamette was called WillaMETTE, not WiLAMmet. I'll defer to Beagle on the latter and you on the former. I just know I was sharply corrected on the pronunciation of that river in Oregon (and please, for God's sake, we m…

On #5, you forgot "Willamette."

Me neither, on both counts.

Here's a link to a clearinghouse of about a zillion other links related to helping Katrina-impacted/displaced animals: [url]http://www.omega-news.info/katrina_resources_help.htm[/url] You can find foster/adoption opportunities, shelters needing do…

Good conclusion, Linda -- considering that a Brazilian is the term for a certain, uh, grooming procedure that one must endure to tastefully wear the VS undergarments.
-
Geno, you're not asking me but I didn't think it was rude or ugly for you to post that. You're right -- it was just a matter of time. And Dianne's right: What good will it do the victims of Katrina? And maybe it seems callous to be conducting this t…

Gene, If you do, let me know if I can contribute. Debra (Whirlwind)

I've been glued to CNN via TV or satellite radio during every waking, non-working moment since Sunday afternoon. The news of the aftermath continues to be more horrific by the hour. The extent of the devastation and suffering is mind boggling, and e…

Yes, it's tasteless drivel, but it sells or it wouldn't be on TV (for long). I stumbled across the Bobby Brown thing one night and was so embarrassed for Whitney that I had to surf on to something else very quickly. And please shoot me if you ever c…

I'm thinking Beautiful Wife. In any event, your trip sounds divine and I'm green with envy. Hope you weren't thinking too much about Grizzly Man during those bear encounters. My question is, how do you swing 6 weeks off? I work in a school where m…

Sign me up for this exit plan! And if Johnny Depp wants to finance the whole deal, it's fine by me. He should live so long.

Gosh, all this pointless arguing among people who will never convince each other of the time of day makes me want to go out and buy a cow for someone in a third world country. x}>

I inadvertently set mine that way from the beginning (techno-blunder); then I decided to leave it that way so that I could, if needed, describe an ee situation very specifically. It's a long shot, but remember that anyone can read this Forum even if…

The Honda guy told me that they've been making hybrids for about 5 years now (the Insight and then the Civic before the Accord), and they haven't replaced a battery yet at their dealership, which is the largest Honda dealer in the southwest. The Vol…
-
Linda, you don't have to charge the battery! It charges itself when braking (I'm sure someone else can explain this better than I). A few months ago, I was shopping for a new car and very nearly bought the new Accord hybrid. It was great, but a lit…

I think I'll just leave my original statement ambiguous. ;;)

...which reminds me of another old joke: Q: Why don't Baptists ever make love standing up? A: They're afraid people will think they're dancing. Disclaimer: This message isn't intended to offend Baptists, dancers, or anyone else for that matter…

Yeah, it's killer! Har har. But in case that was a real question x:-/, 30MM was the original poster's abbreviation for Rachel's show, 30-Minute Meals.

I love both Rachel and Alton and have learned a lot from them. I covet the knife that Rachel seems to use for everything and have asked for it for Christmas (it's for sale on the Food TV website). I also love the website for the ability to save reci…

I'm not even talking about who has the worst husband -- it's just that the idea of income tax deductions for pig pens and paternity suit settlements struck me as hilarious. You can't make that stuff up.
-
"He illegally deducted expenses of their luxury cars, a paternity suit and a custom made pen for their pet pigs." Ain't it cool how true stories can often provide your best laugh of the day?
