Don't tell Bob J. that - he'll be very disappointed in you.

The FRN is considering filing and FEC complaint against MoveOn.org. How about an article concerning their FEC violations as 527?

I'm more of a wine snob these days...

So, what is your poison?

"They gave us the vote. Then they started letting us wear short skirts...the rest, my friend, is history (suitably doused in histeria! *L*)"

This may take me a minute to digest. Women are a votin'? And wheren short skirts? No wonder my wife keeps a complainin' to get outta the kitchen. Haha

I noticed - I overheard you debating with someone at the Freeper Bar-B-Que hosted by you and Dio. Pretty erudite!

I used to be a wine snob - actually - that's not true - I'd drink anything...

You pronounced "Gutenberg" wrong.

DANG! I even checked with my Swami...

I was probably arguing the virtues of Two Buck Chuck. I may be a wine snob but I appreciate it when I winemaker produces a wine that delivers more than sticker shock.

I have an idea for a column already...Let me run this idea by you...

Recently an opinion poll showed Democrat John Kerry running neck in neck with President Bush. Further polling indicated that the primary reason for this was due to unease about the economy.

There are many camps about whats actually wrong with the economy. Some say its tax cuts, and others say its due to globalization. If you say tax cuts currently in place are the reason for the lag in hiring, so be it. Vote Kerry.

If however you think the jobs lag is due to globalization, why vote for Kerry? He tacitly endorses globalization. He will not limit imports from China, which is our most problematic trading partner. So, why vote for someone who won't do anything differently on the issues that concern many of us most? Best bet is to vote on some other issue. Not much of a choice, I know.

John Kerry said he will 'enforce trade laws'. Really? You think so eh? Little known to most is that President Bush has been THE most agressive President in history regarding China, specifically on economics. Don't believe me? Well, lets prove it...

John Kerry won't, much less can't do anything more regarding China than is currently being done. If one believes in trade (as both Bush and Kerry believe in) they will not just 'cut China off' in a radical manner. Do you think Kerry will do that? Not a chance in hell. Why? Lets talk about why not....

Much of the unfair issues regarding China are either politically motivated or technical issues where the Chinese couldn't fix it all even if they wanted to. It requires a process and expertise to evolve to the point where they can change. Lets talk about what exactly has been done so far on this issue by the current President...

Do you think Kerry could match that? True President Bush isn't throwing the trade baby out with the bath water, but to say he isn't engaging on this issue is simply a wrong assessment by Kerry or anyone else...

Be careful where you choose to point fingers, lest you too be found to be one "prion" prone to pi**ing into your own shoe.

From your personal page. Demonstrated illiteracies appear in bold:

"[prion]...is composed of a protein only and does not contain nucleic acid, which would be necessary if the agent was a conventional virius. Claimed by a large number of groups to be the infectious particle that transmits the disease from one cell to another and from one animal to another. It is made from the normal protein PrPc (the c stands for chromosomal) that is produced in small quantities in many cells and especially the lymphoid and nervous tissue cells. On the other hand, there could be no suchofa thing, in which case we've wasted all this time and money and accomplished squat."

And you thought that Bob J guy over there had some problems with apostrophes, did you?
