Shep says to Eric, how come you didn't get a hug?!!

That was good. I love that male banter.

I remember listening to the BBC during gulf war '91 and hearing that they entered a prison and found people with no clothing and only bread to eat. It was something which shocked me and I never forgot it. Just a warning. No telling what they will find when they break in.

[Jackie-O]

I am not suprized about this either...Rummy and all keep saying "tough battle still to come" and the cities keep falling..

[Lauratealeaf]

Not the CD I hope, not out till May I think

Rats! Well, I guess I will try to download it too. I'm not so good at that.

Our prisoners in the US have incredible rights. Granted, some awful stuff has happened in the past to get us to this point. But, the endless appeals and cases getting thrown out of court for a typo. Not a good scene.

Actually, Shep was a local reporter here in Florida for a short while, and I remember him being very makeup-ed years ago

[ztiworoh]

OLLIE ALERT!

[Sacajaweau]

bump

[retrokitten]

Did he always where blue then, too?

[Fledermaus]

why does that make me want to sing and old 60's tune? Bacarach and the psychic lady of course.

That is the kind of thing done in the middle ages! I hope we can bring Iraq at least up to the 19th century!

He sounds like Kevin Stevens all over again! The Caps had John Kordic for a very short period of time.... what a sad story! Regardless, there is far less of this type of problem than there is in other sports. This is a great sport.... I was out there skating at 6:00am this morning!!!

I agree re: Speicher. How awful for him if he had been held all this time, hoping everyday for 12 long years that someone might come rescue him.

I'm not sure any amount of rehab could ever bring someone back from that.

Too awful to think that he wouldn't even have his family waiting for him.

Don't worry, don't you understand that this just means that it was all unnecessary? I know that this was posted as a thread earlier, but I thought I would share for anyone who missed it..
See what Harkin had to say today
Can't believe he's from my Iowa...

[ztiworoh]

not sure, but I remember the make up, I was quite young though, but his eyes looked wierd to me as a kid

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Alert. Another Saddam half-brother ( don't remember his name, not well known) was captured by the Kurds in Northwest Iraq trying to sneak into Syria. Reported by ABC radio news.

My husband brought home some Bailey's Irish Cream tonight and I am mellow.

MMMmmm...bailey's over ice is one of my favorites. Or in hot chocolate is really good, too.

[Lauratealeaf]

Just copy the URl and paste it in Windows media player...File, open URL

Thanks. Am copying this.

Light pole, maybe, or a commmunications antenna? It's right next to what I think is a Humvee (or some sort of military vehicle).

It should become clearer as it gets lighter.
