  • Nader will not be on the ballot in PA, either. The courts ruled that he was nominated by the Green Party and could not now run as an independent. It's a technicality...but sometimes that's what the law comes down to. A viable 3 party system would b…
  • The war on terror is similar to the war on drugs in that it will never end. Containment is the goal. As depressing as it sounds it's true. If you pay close attention to Putin's remarks following the horrible incident in Russia...you will see that h…
  • Don, Liberals don't want to take your guns!!! Liberals would like to try to keep weapons, generally used for hunting people, rather than game, out of criminal hands. I tend to think that conservatives and liberals are much closer on this issue th…
  • Zell has been voting with the Republican's since W became president. No one is surprised...and no one really cares. The democrats, as a whole, are a less structured group. The republicans have a strong party loyalty, even when you don't agree you vo…
  • Well, happy birthday!! although, I don't know how much posting will go on in here!!!
  • I agree that we should be debating the more important issues...Iraq, the economy, Health Care, environmental issues....BUT Vietnam is still a hot button issue for many people, honorably discharged veterans included! Look at the flak Bill Clinton too…
  • It's not so much the critique that bothers me...because you are right...many of these sports are new to us and we need the background... What irks me is the derogatory tone used to describe a performance. That somehow, obtaining a silver is tantamo…
  • I just didn't assume that he meant "warm fuzzy" sensitive... I thought that he meant sensitive, as in atuned and responsive to a situation...as in "my mouse is sensitive to vibrations" Thanks for all your thoughts...I'm always curious to see how su…
  • Frightening. While it is amusing to a point that he tends to speak without thinking the statement the whole way through...it's also disconcerting that his statements can be (and often are) misinterpreted because he is unclear. Being plain spoken sho…
  • If I spoke off the cuff and could recall verbatim every word I said, I'd be pretty impressed. She frequently strays from her written remarks...and at the moment she was confronted may not have realized what she said. The other factor that may have …

  • Borders are a problem...illegal's are a problem...but there is one issue that we're not talking a whole lot about, because it's too scary. We have a wealth of US military trained individuals that have developed a deep hatred for the American system…
  • I think this is a great opportunity and resume builder. It will give her something to talk about during the "tell me about your biggest challenge" job interview question. Perhaps another way to discuss this topic would be to ask those that do hirin…
  • I forwarded this to all of the "aging" people I know!!!!!
  • I agree about the information issue....can you imagine what all these "experts" would be doing in the job market say 100 years ago??? what was life before 24 hour news and "experts" providing a spin on it? 100 years ago people probably filled in th…
  • Everytime I think that things in the world are horrible...I remember being a kid and practicing nuclear bomb drills...THAT was scary....and we thought it was the end of the world...or could be. And I think about how horrible things must have seemed…
  • Everything has a cycle..and while we might like to think that we have an answer or explanation for everything, we don't. It seems best to go on about your life, not intentionally harming anyone or anything, and trying to keep things in balance and p…
  • You'll have to tweak this one a bit...but it's gross and kind of fun...and will add a bit of lightness to the event. I was at a baby shower this weekend...and we played the "baby poop" game (I hate shower games, but this is the first one that I'm s…
  • Sage...caution on the renters....unless you're experienced at this sort of thing!!! GOOD LUCK!! My folks called one day last year and said..."you've been on your own long enough. your stuff remaining at home will be placedin the driveway...what yo…
  • One of our attorneys was just nominated to a similar thing...and it then asked for 5 "nominations" from him. I think it's a money making scam. You can be listed for free but to have the certificate and the book it's about 250.00.
  • I don't know that I'll read the book....at least not yet...we're too close to the eye of the storm...but it is important information to be added to the pot. I find it interesting how many "high ranking officials" have broken ranks in the last 6 mont…
  • I don't disagree that Saddam was not a nice guy...to his own people or otherwise...BUT using the rationale that genocide is a good reason to send our troops into war...where does it stop? What about Africa? What about East Asia? How can we alone …
  • Parabeagle, I have to agree....This is what makes Iraq different from Afganistan. In the case of the latter, we had good credible information that the Taliban regime had a hand in either funding or training the terrorists of 9/11. We've had no such …

  • Does south beach permit s/f jello? My hubby and I found that this works pretty well during the "induction period" of atkins. The other thing that Atkins suggests is taking Chromium to keep your metabolism going...if south beach suggests supplement…
  • Actually, Kerry's poll numbers rise when the spotlight is elsewhere....he may welcome the distraction...In fact, Bush may as well with all the 9/11 information coming out and the Iraq not going as well as anyone had hoped.
  • Don...are you suggesting that our Presidents remain completely celebate(perhaps also avoid any other distractions, like golf and vacations) during their tenure? These are still real guys with lives that do extend beyond being President. And while h…
  • My hubby plays in politics and I've noticed something about those driven to become elected in higher positions...that same ambition, need for power...manifests in many different ways. It may not be an excuse, but it does seem that people with such a…
  • If you're looking to borrow someone else's words...check some of the larger websites (yahoo, msn) they will have a section for "quotes". I used Peter's Book of Quotations quite a bit in my college years (before the internet!) Another idea would be …
  • Even with all the new technology...some music sounds best on a record.... Ray Charles was a fabulous musician....and no matter who records his music...it's just never the same...
  • TOO FUNNY!!!!! thank you for the laugh!

  • "lawn art" will get you nowhere right outside of Harrisburg...although, if you drive about an hour in any direction, it seems to become some kind of form of personal expression. The gazing balls aren't too bad....but the flamingos and gnomes!! Kud…
