I'm in.
I've been banned from making coffee here.
Everyone says they don't want to be awake for several days.

Good morning. I wonder what the left will say is Operation Iraqi Freedom's version of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, since they just love comparing Iraq to Vietnam.

Does it really strip paint and rust?
I haven't tried doing that yet myself.

Banned???

Never. We'd never ban our Darksheare from making coffee. You can make it, you just might be the only one to drink it. :)

Besides, it's a legend now. Darksheare's, cup of doom. We need a little graphic for it. hmmmmm.

They seem to be concentrating on the "false" British Intelligence and WMD claims.

Ah. So when's the left going to go to Iraq to film anti-American propaganda films (a'la Hanoi Jane)? And if the left does go to Iraq, is there any hope of any of them having unfortunate accidents?

I am sorry to say I could not listen to even one song. :-(

A bummer as there were many there I wanted to hear.

I will try again. I am sure I saved the link.

Have a fabulous time at the Fair! I have been several times to the one held in Serling, N.Y. What a trip!!

I have a huge Griffen necklace I bought in the 80s and often wear him. It has a Hallmark stamped on the back.

I took him to the Carribbean with me! Whoo Hoo

They already started, Sean Penn, Senators McDermott and Bonior come to mind and that's before the war started.

They should've had an unfortunate accident when they got back IMHO.
