Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.
Goodnight everyone!!!
You do realize this could mean less FReep time for me? I wouldn't want my public to suffer.
That would be your "ADORING public," yes?
'Night Irish!
I'm right behind you!
Jury duty... not done. Have to go back tomorrow and then I will be done. Got called out for a jury this morning, but didn't get selected (20 of us were called, they sat 6, and I was #17). This was a DUI case, so I really didn't expect to be seated after I revealed that I was the victim of a DUI accident 35 years ago. That's all I told them -- I didn't add that it was a '57 Chev going 35 - 50 MPH at impact (the Chev was totalled), that I ended up in a (foam) neckbrace with almost constant headaches for a year, that the kid had been celebrating his 18th a day early), was drunk out of his skull and didn't have permission to drive his uncle's car.
Nor that I would most likely have been killed but for the seatbelt -- which I had installed just days earlier. My little '59 Nash Metro had not had seatbelts before then.
It was kind of funny. The defendant (Chinese) was dressed up in a suit, and in the courtroom looked a little like a middle-aged man, albeit shaven bald. Later I saw him outside talking on his cellphone, smoking a cigarette, and all I could think was "gang member." Glad I wasn't on that jury...
If they seat me on one tomorrow, though, I think I might try to become foreman -- as totally out of character such a move would be. After all, I've got some experience with running committee meetings under consensus-building rules.
Photos: no ETA at this point. I have a "new" machine that the goodwife built up for me in the basement -- it's to be the "multimedia" machine: ripping CDs and DVDs for playing on my PDA, and it's got storage sufficient for my digital photos too... for a while. But I have to install some camera-related software on it, and I'm not even sure right now it has a USB port. We tend to run a few years behind the leading edge of computers; it's much less expensive that way.
I think, then, that I would not be chosen for a DUI jury...
It was the first time I had been in a car and not had a seatbelt on...
LOL! I could just see you as Foreman...I bet you could get the job done! "Focus, people!"
I'm usually behind the power curve on most "toys" because I wait until they will fit easily into my budget. My next toy will be a DVD recorder.
:o]
And with that, I believe I'm almost on my way to bed...
Speaking of cameras, I'm still working out the details of our Thrust Ring Telescope Project. I've got most of the structure designed; should have a verbal description ready by sometime on the weekend.
My thinking is that if our Telescope Project is up and running by the time we settle into high orbit around Mars, then virtually the entire plane of the ecliptic will be available for scrutiny.
If the scope works as I intend to design it, we should be able to spot some Earthlike planets around nearby stars.
This could make being in orbit around Mars as much fun as being on the surface.
I think I could get the job done, though there is sometimes a need for more than just "focus." Our Rector gets slightly annoyed at the way our (board of directors) meetings run long, but I run those meetings in much the same way, though we have members who don't know how to say their piece and be done, and the group does like to chat a bit -- the benefit is consensus and cooperation, the downside is time.
OTOH, our votes now take no more than 3 to 4 seconds. They have learned they have to respond quickly when *I* conduct the votes.
That works for me! I'm anxious to see it in action.
For now, though, I'm off to bed. Maybe tonight, I can get rid of the migraine once and for all.
I suspect I would disqualify myself in a DUI trial. I wouldn't wait for someone to do it for me. My scars are still too visible to be ignored politely.
Yah, I think you would be good at keeping order and making sure there was "focus!" That would include making sure that all things were considered...I also suspect you would be extremely fair.
'Night!
'Night, 'Face! Good night, sleep tight, and don't bite the bedbugs! *\;-)
The Phantom Dark has returned and once again missed a chance to go at a troll
>Only if one is also euphemistic.
That's me!
I'm an anchronostic euphemism, I think.
2,000
Good for you!
"I... Seee... YOooou!"
*puts down Palantir*
Pffft! The nasty little buggers have been all over here today.
Ya gotta update the bio page there I just noticed.
*SLACKER!*
I'm a very busy man. I blow s%$# up for a living and flip cars in my spare time lol
Yes, but to make the car flip RIGHT you need a venison forcefield protective system.
Keeps you from hitting vehicles that could by some quirk of alternate reality be right around the corner lurking like the famed evil SUV's..
