A nation withdrawing from caffine is a mean nation and it would be best not to mess with it. I was thinking about this the other day. If there was a major disruption and no sodas , coffee, tea, or chocolate available our enemies would be in a world of hurt:')

Murray leads Nethercutt by 20 points. Gregoire leads Rossi by 9.

A person whose cube is diagonal from mine is a DUmmy, and he has no idea I'm a FReeper, so that makes it more fun. He's almost thrown in the towel on Kerry.

Did the rules change? Wouldn't they have to be invited back?

Re: #33 - Lenin Statutue. Are you serious? Is this statue REALLY in a Seattle community? Where is it located? Is the citizenry really so pro-commie to do this? Do they understand who they are honoring? Are you sure this isn't a photo in Red Square in Moscow?

I'm always puzzled why the leftists have succeeded in grabbing the most picturesque parts of our country with the balmiest weather. Why did their take-over succeed in these parts of the U.S.?

Brad Upton just celebrated his 20th year as a standup comedian...

That's something to celebrate? Sounds to me like he's reached his level of incompetence in the, uh, "entertainment profession."

The statue is in the Fremont District, which is a trendy area of microbreweries and great ethnic restaurants. The owner bought it when the Soviet Union had its going-out-of-business sale. He believes it is merely a piece of artwork with no political value.

I believe that statue has been for sale for some time now...

I would be all for this if the border was at Lake Washington.

"Of course that means all USA federal aid ends imediatly."

Ha! We would immediately begin providing foreign aid to the new impoverished nation.

Yeah, but that would make the transition too peaceful. I mean, if it's all peaceful, how would we get our daily lliberal bag-limit? Huh?

Go ahead. Spoil my fun. ;0)

Thanks for the numbers, I guess I'd hoped that anyone with Murray's track record would be in a tighter race than that.

"Universal affordable health care? Done."

I was thinking of seeking assylum from Schwarzenegger's Sierra-Nevada-Cascades CONservancy until I read that! I'd rather work to convert the massive 1/5th of CA into the 51st state called SIERRA REPUBLIC, than flee to CASCADIA with socialist medicine!!!

It's not for sale. Right now, it's on private property, but the owner wants it to be moved to public property.

I doubt he'll get his wish.

Someone should behead the statue, and paint the body "Jumpsuit Orange"... ;0)

Patty is only 5 feet tall, but when it comes to federal money and pork, she's 6-foot-2. This is well-known, and Patty's staff is one of the best in DC. She's safe this time.

Bad things do happen . Can't argue with that:') Believers know though that at some point if we get to far from God he may turn away from us . What would it hurt for America to start praying, turning back to His word, and putting Him back in our government? Sadly, I don't believe we are at this point yet but IMO we are headed there on a fast track.

Liberal Seattle are the ones who are not happy with a Bush Presidency...

And, interestingly enough, liberal Seattle is the most likely target for the North Koreans, should they decide to try and nuke the U.S.

Remember Michael Moore's outrage at the Twin Towers? He was furious that the terrorists killed all the wrong people. Damned Terrorists, they don't even care who's on their side!

As the forces of the Left lose their ability to influence national policy, one of my suspicions is that we'll see more talk like this.

I do as well.

They will become crazier and more dangerous.

Pray for our president.

Please ping me to your essay when it's posted.

Thanks.

As much as I would like to see the libs break away (which couldn't last long because they need to be tempered with good thinking folks) I think Texas is the only state in the Union who can establish a nation on our own legally.
