So now that he is not running, any bets on how quickly he puts the weight back on?

Oh he's already well along the way to that. Several profile views of him on Fox recently have substantiated that issue.

BTW, glancing at the posts on this thread, I didn't see anyone positing the scenario that the Huckster, while indicating he is not running for President, is certainly positioning himself to be a prime (puke) Vice-Presidential candidate. Huck knows he can't win the Presidential GOP candidate slot, so he will take the next best thing and bide his time until the opportunity presents itself.......just like he did to become Governor in Arkansas. Conservative Arkansans don't call him The Huckster for nothing.

-"Don’t forget this guy:

Looks like the 'real deal', upfront type-of-guy. I would not have a problem in voting for him, and actually hope he moves up the pack.

Well, we already KNOW who “Ol’ Scratch” is backing...(couldn’t resist - it was wasit-high, right across the plate)

“...I have not seen a President in a weaker state in my lifetime. There is absolutely no reason to be afraid of this Marxist...”

Lazlo, brother, you need to repeat that phrase into GOP answering machine, FAX machine, Email, and snail mail correspondance.

They’re terrified of one thing and one thing only - being called “Racists!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Grown men, terrified of a word thrown at them by socialist scum. It is pitiful...

Apocalyptica started out as just four guys with cellos.
And no lyrics.
Then they started initing people to write lyrics to the songs.

With mixed results but interesting none the less.

It affected the show because now that he is not running, he doesn’t have to give up the show or his position as a FOX News analyst.

“Pompous ass”? I don’t know where you get that. He might not be your candidate of choice (or mine), but “pompous”? Really? I just don’t see that in him.

No, no earworms.
Several songs stuck in there as a soundtrack of my inner monologue.

“...Look I want a fiscal conservative candidate to win. ...”

Hell, I just want an AMERICAN to win.

Someone who understands what an AMERICAN is...who loves the Country...and who will be a President that we can actually respect and who won’t BOW and APOLOGIZE, nor hate the Country that gave them every opportunity to succeed.

Sarah is an American. She speaks to my heart, and my Patriotism. She was raised the way I was raised - to love and believe in the same America that I do.

CAN she win? I think so. WILL she win? We’ll find out.

I don’t have a ping list, they don’t do that much here in the U.S., the original members were all from Finland.

Welcome!
Had a friend who had been going to teach me to play bass guitar.
He did things with that guitar that I’d never heard people do.
Unfortunately, suicide took him.
Nobody really knows why he did it.

Nice.. just finished watching the second vid.., MUCh better than the first one (vid was average.. but the music was good)..

It actually reminded me of of the Pirates score (Pirates, Magnificent 7, and Pachelbel's Canon are my favorites to play on trumpet... although cello/bass hate it)..

This youtube link is for when I am feeling down and need a laugh.. this guy is good ;)

With a bass guitar he was a genius, kinda like Mr. Claypool from Primus in some ways.
[If you’ve ever seen Claypool goofing off with his bass..]
