LOL I have four ports on the motherboard, a 4-port pci card and two 4-port externals on this system. So many external devices I can't believe it! Where will it end?

I can't understand it myself, as to why people in this country that control the MSM, want to see America's downfall. If America falls, they will be the first to lose their heads! The war against international terrorism is the biggest challenge this country has ever faced. Literally, the future of the civilized world is at stake. So why the MSM has their heads in an ostrich hole is way beyond me. Also, if they think, by getting rid of Bush the threat will magically disappear, is nothing more then a bad dream!!!

They look like clones is what they look like...very handsome ones! And (I can't remember his name--darn it! I'm sorry...) John's SON is very smart--he wanted John to buy BJ a diamond for their anniversary! And I would have sold it to them, too! LOL!

This definitely calls for a celebration on Friday!....don't 'cha think? :o)

[La Enchiladita]

...if they think, by getting rid of Bush the threat will magically disappear,...

I don't think they think. They're all in a stage of arrested adolescence, rebelling, irresponsible, don't see how the world works...

[luvie]
