Got here late. My computer locked up at about the time of your post and I had to run every utility I have to make sure it's OK. At least the rain is slowing down here.

He has a right to be pissed. Everything "Liberalism" or "Socialism" is going quickly to hell in a handbasket. It's all Bush's fault.

I don't usually have to take credit for things, but this one I'm kinda proud of, so I must...

I actually coined the phrase "Pretty Chicken."

For a long time we had been calling him either "Pretty Richard" or "Pretty Engle" because of his primping. And then when we saw him ducking and hiding every time a shoe dropped, we started calling something like "Chicken Richard"... so I combined them for the double entendre = "Pretty Chicken."

Pretty = beautiful/vain, and Pretty = very... Chicken.

(Geez, how vain am I that I have to take credit for that!!?? LOL)

It is early but all channels are saying turnout is low. How do they know and why are they saying it know? Who is to say what turnout should be? They make up a number and then beat us over the head with it.

Shep Smith on fox states not one American has died or been injured in Iraq during the election.

Good news and pray it keeps up.

I just fired off an e-mail to Fox News complaining about susan estrich's whining on with Geraldo earlier about ted kennedy and how unsafe it is over there. My B/P went way up when I heard her spew her venom.

Jean Francois Cheri is going to have to throw out his, "Oh, Iraq is a big mess" playbook on Meet The Depressed today. Life is good! :)

But I don't believe it will be affective, the Iraqi's are showing great courage.

No, I don't believe it will be affective either, thank God.
