RANDOM SEMI-RELATED THOUGHTS
I'm a contractor, not a Marine.

neo-liberal: socialist, not Jeffersonian liberal or literal liberal.

Bob Dole needs his own show on Fox, The Bob Dole Show.
"Good evening folks. I'm Bob Dole and this is the Bob Dole show hosted by Bob Dole. Tonight, Bob Dole's guests will be Norm McDonald, Bill Clinton and Eric Cartman from South Park. Bob Dole will be reading questions from the audience too."

Oh yeah, Ellen Ratner's hair is nicer than Jane Arraf's. Ellen Ratner is nicer than Jane Arraf come to think about it.
At least Susan Estrich didn't show up.

Hey I was born in KCMO too! I know this is totally off topic but anytime KCMO appears I perk up. Was just up there two weeks ago, drove through downtown, hasn't really changed too much.

I'd rather drive anywhere in Baghdad than around the I435/US71 junction or that mall near there.
I won't go north of Peculiar without a small but powerful handgun.

Is it ok to OT/hijack my own thread?

Clintoon attended a DNC fundraiser at the Warner Theater in D.C. a few years ago which we protested. Ellen was walking in. A few of us made some snide remarks. She ingnored us until I said "Hey, Ellen, Hannity can beat you up!" She did a 180 and come over and had her picture taken with us. Maybe someone in the chapter can find a few pics.

She ain't so bad. She ain't so good. What can I say?

Thanks for the report, Nerd. I used to listen to WTOP but after they went mum during memogate, I switched to WMAL. Stay safe!

Listen, whoever you are. I know BufordP. BufordP is a friend of mine. Airman, you're no BufordP.

"She ain't so bad. She ain't so good."

Ain't no way BufordP would ever say that about anything or anyone.


. . . and I'm tellin'
Someone is using my friend's screen name.

LOL! You know how long it took me to type "She ain't so bad"? It was tough.

My husband talked to one of his friends this weekend who has just returned from Iraq, and he says much the same thing. Not only did he feel safer in Iraq than in his hometown, he also mentioned the hopeful attitude of the citizens there. In the good ol' US of A, the only message you see/hear is one of hoplessness and defeat.

Sure its ok to highjack your own thread! You must be talking about the Bannister mall. I haven't been down around Peculiar for years, must be really something if you won't go unarmed! Remember The Paseo Boulevard?

She didn't even flinch when I mentioned Free Republic. I feel foolish for thinking she would.

A few years back, Ratner comes out of the White House tour with Mark Davis (WBAP) and Michael Savage (?).

Ratner asks a stupid question about a sign ELS is holding. bmwcyle recognizes her and says, "Ellen?" Ratner makes eyecontact and her pupils are at max dililation. bmwcyle says, "You're Ellen Ratner" and with that, Ellen turns on her heel and starts running away, full speed.

Why are you helping them with biometrics? Shouldn't you be putting your powers to use for good?

P.S. I'll bet your sense of humor is wasted as a rule.

It takes a real man to type it out ...

Trust all is well, BufordP

I remember the incident, but I don't remember what the topic of the FReep was.

I drove from KCI down The Paseo about two years ago. It looks like a completely different planet from when I was a kid.
I still didn't go as slow as the speed limit but wow, what a difference.

I'm all for privacy and keeping the gubbamint out of everything possible, ask BufordP. He thinks I'm a libertarian anarchist.

Using a biometrics database against the dirtbags over here seems like a fine and dandy thing. You wouldn't believe some of the scum in the database. The bad guys know about this system and try to evade it. That means it's working.
