  • OK, I won't crack any jokes about you driving around topless. Bet my little coupe with a V6 will blow the doors off your convertible.
  • I get the feeling Skosh has a twinkle in her eye and a Bush-like smirk on her face when she jabs. I'm thinking of hitting that alert button and accusing her of harassing old people. She probably trips old men when they walk past her. And I imagin…
  • Oh, please don't wake up Marina.... she'll give me the evil eye...... I still have bruises from the last time she did that.
  • No surprise, time does go slower down south and you do live in TN. If 7 human years equals 1 dog year, how many Northern years equal 1 southern year?
  • Do I know you? I believe Dutch has me by about 3 years or so. And I have a horrible memory. The year 1956 is kind of hazy.
  • Hey Skosh.... if you're still around. Dutch is older than I am.
  • Well, I did just read about the debates last night in Smithsonian Magazine.
  • Well, part of my post above is true. I read about his carriage when I visited the Studebaker museum a couple years ago. It was roped off, so we couldn't actually touch it like we could the other cars.
  • You may even be more snarky than Paul. Great...... Actually, I drove the carriage to Ford's theater that Lincoln rode in. He had just taken delivery of it a couple days prior to that fateful night and it was his first ride in it. It was a brand …
  • Wait a minute I'm not that old!!!! Are you taking lessons from Paul?
  • Skosh, you're just a kid then. I have memories from several years prior to the Kennedy/Nixon debates.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-11-08 AT 08:17AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Careful Skosh, you used the word intelligent in reply to a post from Paul. He'll get a big head. Actually, if you read about politics in the 19th century it was …
  • I did read that the Palin's left that church because of differences of opinion with some of the positions being taken. Good for them.
  • See Skosh, implicit in this "misunderstanding" is that people of faith, or at least of certain faiths, are not qualified to hold office. Some even take the long view that religious fundamentalists should not be allowed to participate in the democra…
  • Obama in his book, [i]Audacity of Hope[/i], said, “It’s not just absolute power that the Founders sought to prevent. Implicit in its structure, in the very idea of ordered liberty, was a rejection of absolute truth, the infallibility of any id…
  • Here's some interesting info on Palin. [url]http://explorations.chasrmartin.com/2008/09/06/palin-rumors/[/url]
  • Huh? I'm a Palin guy.
  • Fair question, Rita. No, I don't investigate every little complaint when someone makes an inappropriate comment. But, in this case it is warranted. This has been an ongoing problem with this guy. The female ee thinks, but can't prove, that he is…
  • Same thing in the business world. We see posters here questioning us when their bosses demand an ee be fired for whatever reason. Our CEO loves to walk around on the floor and talk to the ee's directly whenever he visits - he maintains a high …
  • Funny you mention the pretty young girl. I had a female ee in my office this morning accusing a male coworker of telling her that opinion doesn't count because she's a woman. He's not here today, so I get to slap him around.... I mean question him…
  • Skosh is right, the investigation is into the firing of the man who wouldn't fire her brother-in-law. From what I've read, the boy who was tasered was his own son. But, part of my point is that there have been bits and pieces reported in the pre…
  • I heard the same thing. Their combined ages are less than hers.
  • I heard she took both handsome gentleman home with her and they both stayed all night.
  • I assume you meant [i]no one [b]ever[/b] listens to them[/i].

  • Actually, George Washington and other founding fathers strongly urged against the concept of a parties because of the fear of abuses of the system. What I find interesting is that we criticize the opposing party for not nominating someone who hol…

  • I just read an interesting post on a political blog. The writer reponded to a question on why all the vitriol saying that it might have something to do with people having a team attitude. He went on to say that it often seems to be important which…

  • Of course much has been made of Palin's peccadillos in the press presently, but what about Biden? Does anyone remember why he dropped out of the race in the late 80s? Something about stealing speeches from British policians and pretending they wer…

  • I never watch FOX news.

  • No it's not a good point. It is a strawman argument. It is a diversion from substance. A while ago when Obama had his kids on TV he received a lot of press concerning it and there was justifiable criticism over it and he admitted it was a mistake…

  • Well Skosh, I was purposely trying to stay away for awhile, but now I'm cranked up. But, it's good for the heart - keeps the circulation going. And it's good to exchange ideas.
