Comapre the MASSIVE CROWDS that President Bush enjoyed today in Florida to the EMPTY RESTAURANT haunted by John "Goosekiller" Kerry, from:

"Kerry Stops in Texas Without Knowing It" (AP) [LOL!]

Geez, can you believe this loser would let himself get photographed in such LONESOME circumstances just 10 days before the election?!
Gov. Richardson looks like he knows this doesn't look good.

Cool pics! I saw the rally live on CSPAN and I knew something wasn't right when the crowd was looking up while the President was speaking. I saw the rally again this evening and laughed when I heard the F16 loudly in the background because then I knew what was going on.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Looks like they had a great turnout.

I heard 25,000 showed up!

[BigSkyFreeper]

For a bit, I truly thought they would shoot it down!!!!

Not if there were people down below.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Actually, it looks more like a Piper Cub to me.

Which isn't a crop duster as the report says. Crop dusters I know of don't have wings on the top of the cabin.

Did you have to sign one of those "loyalty oaths" we're hearing so much about?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Notice how Edwards doesn't make the national news?

I've noticed that! He's out there campaigning but he's virtually invisible! LOL

Me..3429; The Mighty Tigers (this year was an aberration - Plough will fix us).

Home of the Ashes...
(Non-Aussies will have no idea what we are talking about.)
Richmond FC needs some stability. Did you hear that Danny Frawley is going to run as a Liberal candidate in the Seat of Ballarat in the next State Election ?

I think Danny seems like a good bloke.

Great pics! Thank you!

[Musket]

Really GREAT PICS Folks! Thanks!

"We were all the way to the left by the stairs, on the top row and the second from top row"

My wife and I were also all the way to the left(ugh) as well sitting by stairs, about 5 rows down from the top. We were both wearing straw hats.

It was great! What a sight to see, a helicoptor painted with "United States of America" painted on the side land at center field of the local baseball stadium. Then to see the President of the United States of America get out and wave to a thunderous crowd. God, I'm proud of that man! He's as good and decent of a man as we'll ever find.

Good morning. Thanks for the ping.

[lysie]

Great thread with great pictures. Thank you.

No doubt our American brothers and sisters will think we're speaking in a similar dialect to John So!

Richmond FC needs some leadership - on and off-field.

Danny is a top bloke and would make a great MP. From what I understand, that story was not so much based on a leak as it was speculation.

"Fank you velly much for wulcoming me here tonite at the Town Hall."

No, I shouldn't joke. I have some Chinese friends who speak English very well. Mr.So seems like a very good Lord Mayor, but it would be good if he spoke better English. When in Rome...

Interestingly, Moses had a stutter but was the greatest leader ever.

Bring back Roachy, full forward.

Hmmm, English linguistics, local politics, biblical figures and football.

Do you think it is a catchy tune ?

As good as... Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden Cars.

Channels 6 and 9 news (Orlando) had an interview with the Piper Cub pilot on their 11 o'clock news last night. He said he was coming back to Florida from "up north" and didn't know about the restricted fly zone (shouldn't they be required to check??). He also said he was "sure" he would be hearing more from various authorities.

There was also a similar incident in Lakeland yesterday too, but I haven't heard the details.
