Any resemblance to that other Raquel? ;^)

DISCUSSION
...LISA AS STRONG AS ITS GOING TO GET...
LISA is tenaciously hanging on to near hurricane strength, but the water under the storm is becoming increasingly cold, now under 25 degrees (Celsius).
LISA is now caught up in the Westerlies, and in a couple of days will be absorbed by the remnants of JEANNE.

French Institute for International Relations: Kerry Wins Debate
You behave yourself young man.
Is anyone else glancing off-and-on at Mt. St. Helen's?
KERRY CLAIM: President Bush diverted forces from Gen. Tommy Franks' efforts in Afghanistan to fight in Iraq.
TRUTH: In his memoir, Gen. Franks says that is not the case.
I can't see it out my window
Yes ma'am. After sleeping on it, and reading about what I heard, Dubya did alright last night, despite what the trolls and Brigadiers are saying. It wasn't his greatest moment, but the gaffes were all from Ketchup Boy, when he wasn't unleashing a whopper.
Another lie: Kerry did NOT lose any men under his command while in VN.
I've decided Bush won. Hubby pointed out that there is really very little on the major media about the debate and what there is says it was a draw. Translation: Bush won and they don't want to admit it.
Neets, you silly girl, I was talking about the web cam.
Different tagline...
OH! the WEBCAM!!!
Silly me ;-)
Still waiting to hear the pocket damage estimate on the car. I should know within the hour.
Maybe it would just be easier listing the true statements uttered by Sen. Kerry last night.
[Sounds of crickets chirping...]
The media not playing up the debate means it was a victory for the POTUS. If Cabana Boy had wiped him out, like initial reports said, they'd be playing it up for days.
Works for me. Personally, I think that "Global Test" was the biggest gaffe of the campaign. I just don't think it's sunk in yet.
That's why we're here--to supply the torpedo.
LOL! I said last night that he'd sunk his own campaign when he uttered those words.... ;^)
POTTERY BARN RULE: Allegedly--"if you break it, you buy it."
From the Washington Pravda--Bob Woodward's book, "Plan of Attack" indicated that Sec'y Powell said something akin to the Pottery Barn Rule to the President before Iraq: "If you break it, you own it."
That exchange never occurred. The Pottery Barn doesn't have such a rule.
[Research credit to the Washington Pravda.]
KERRY: Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. [Emphasis added.]
TRUTH: Actual budget = $35 million.
