Did you happen to see all of MNF last night? I gave up halfway through the fourth and missed all the excitement.

I've drank my fair share of martinis over the years. But now I very, very rarely drink anything other than beer or wine.

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Tuesday ! Check this out. Jim Robinson endorses Arnold in order to crush California Liberalism !! ...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/996329/posts?page=40#40
Vanity: The Democrats and the L.A. Times must be defeated!!
Excerpt:
The Los Angeles Times and the Democrat corruption machine must be defeated!! No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
This is bigger than Schwarzenegger vs McClintock, bigger than Republican vs Democrat, and even bigger than conservative vs liberal. This is for our American way of life vs the dark side. Not just for California, but for all of America. The leadership of the Democrat Party and their official party platform of corruption, abortion, homosexualism, socialism, slavery to big government, slavery to over-taxation, slavery to terrorism and willing subjugation to foreign powers and world bodies is pure evil. Yes, I'd rather have a more conservative person than Arnold for California, but sorry folks, looks like the numbers aren't there. And I'm unwilling to take chances on allowing Davis to slip out of the recall or, even worse, to allow Bustamante to win the governorship.
Crushing liberalism is what Free Republic is all about. Gray Davis being recalled by the (mostly Democrat) people of California has got to be one of the greatest defeats for liberalism in recent history. And the additional rejection by the same democrat electorate of the ultra-liberal, illegal-alien-loving, tax-them-till-they-die, Cruz Bustamante will be the coup de grâce!
< snip >
Vote Yes on Recall and vote Yes for the Terminator!!
The Great California Red October Flush to begin in about 30 minutes !! ...
