That was pretty good.

From what I've seen from recent history, I believe there is a new phenomenon in American politics. It's called the Wellstone syndrome. The democRATs use the media for commercials, rallies, pre-SOTU rants, etc. to hurt President Bush's (nice to use upper case again) poll numbers, legislation, elections, popularity, etc., and the exact opposite reaction occurs with the American people.
It must be rough being a democRAT when you're playing checkers and the President is playing chess.

Tom Sullivan, subbing for Limbaugh, had another good analogy:
Does the cop watching the drunken driver weave dangerously down the road, wait for the drunk to actually hit someone??
At any rate, the truth is that after the Gulf War, Saddam was on a truce-dictated parole. He's violated that parole time and time again, and the violations must end. No more parole: The war, or forced disarmament, must resume.
lysie, about 4 years ago, I ordered a pair of very heavy-weight sweat pants from L.L. Bean, and the past winters, would occasionally wear them.
Not this year: they've saved my life! I wash them, and think, "okay, that's it. I can wear something else." No! They are so warm, I have to put them right on again!
Evidence to Justify War is plentiful
Ijaz was on Fox yesterday saying a lot of Saddam's chemical weapons have already been exported.
I have started wearing grandmother-like sweaters. I try not to do that when Hubby is home. I have a pretty good reputation with him and I want to keep it. :-) I certainly don't want to send him to work with me looking like Ruth Buzzy's character minus the hairnet. LOL
BTW, your idea of coming up with a catchy phrase to describe the mouthy dem actors...I drew a blank.
After reading your post, I decided not to mention that it was 66 degrees here today.

Heard a little of Biden's (the Plagiarizer) remarks.....The Dems are playing a dangerous game...for them ....and for our county.
I hope they pay for it, like they did last November, while our country does NOT.
We've identified the responsible party (aka Typhoid Mary), and chastised her. If she ever does it again, we promised to taunt her a second time.

Molly, your #177 and other posts are why I enjoy ATRW so much - such excellent comments from fine Freeper minds. What you've said is so true.
Neets, your #140 - the opinions of that "expert" seem pretty worthless to me. You know, I really wouldn't be able to compare X42's speechifying with Pres. Bush's style because during the entire 8 nightmare years of his presidency, every time he came on the tube, I'd change the channel, pronto. Never could abide him, even during his first campaign.
bev, great post in #168! I'm so glad that you and Larry are doing so well. You'll be sure to let us know before you leave for Arizona, won't you? Am I correct in thinking that you don't have internet access during those months?
TxGrandMom, good of you to give us an update. I liked Dog's advice to contact Delay's office about this incident but I guess it's not feasible to do so under the constrictions your family member is facing.
Toby, my my, your s-i-l sure got that countertop finished fast. Must have been all the good supervising he received. Thanks for your reminder for us to pray for the President. I was happy to see that many Howlin's live thread are saying the same and posting short prayers (as well as a plentitude of LOL comments).

Hi Lorena! Good news about Fox. I sure appreciate that! And tanks for the compliment.:-)
Chef doesn't teach well to people that have problems finding the decimal equivalent of a fraction.
I have thought of making a cheat sheet, and offering it to him for use as a hand-out. (After I get my grade)

THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
I Am the Flag of the United States Of America
I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle
of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge,
Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest,
Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and
KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
But my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the
streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and
trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those
Whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
