My brother almost got out, but he hung in their and now has G.W. Bush's signature on his retirement discharge!!

I also prayed daily that Reagan would stay alive until Clinton was gone. The thought of that jerk giving some speech at Reagan's funeral made me hurl chunks.

their=THERE for all you DU lurkers

[amom]

I'm with you 100%.

[JAFA]

Amom, do you have a link where that can be viewed or downloaded?

At times life is verrryy scarrryy!

Sure is...

A friend of mine has kept up with 20 or so of his high school friends, and maintains a "current events" mailing list for them, and I've been privileged to be a part of it the last couple of years. Almost all of them are now _very_ comfortably retired -- smart, driven folks. Only 4 or 5 are leftist/liberal -- the rest are Republican or "small ell" libertarian (the "small ells" all vote Republican and support the war :-).

That 4 or 5, though, share the same hatred, bitterness, and don't-confuse-me-with-facts bigotry you see on DU. They say the most hateful, stupid things in their emails -- the best argument I've seen for giving 12-year-olds the vote; most are a lot more rational, and haven't fried their brains yet.

Didn't Festus (Ken Curtis) sing with the "Sons of the Pioneers" at one time?

That gun fire must have been off to the left, out of the screens view because that is the direction all the guys on foot are going.

The "winds" seem to correspond to the blowing of the tree branches.

Great. I'll watch for it. Thanks again. I would love it if I were just being "spooky".

[buickmackane]

Pardon my newbie question, but what does DU mean? Thanks!

[Fledermaus]

Looks that way:

One of my favorite western musical memories is Ken Curtis doing the lead (with the Sons of the Pioneers) on "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" in the Ford and Wayne RIO GRANDE (1950). Varese Sarabande has issued the RIO GRANDE soundtrack on CD, and a 30 second RealAudio clip of the song is at: http://www.varesesarabande.com/cgibin/hurlPNM.exe?/~mm-010084/0085408_0104_00_0002.ra

And if any idiot from the left shows up to cause problems, I hope they seriously get a 6 month stay in their local hospital.

The survivors probably will...

:-)

Keep that graphic handy!

[Fledermaus]

We aren't supposed to mention them...but it's DemocraticUnderground.com

Similar website for idiots. They have about 1/20th of Freepers members. They "lurk" here like we look there.

Sorry, hope I'm not banned for that faux pas!

[spectr17]

DU = Democratic Underground. Forum like this.

DU also = Ducks Unlimited if you hunt.

[Brad’s Gramma]

There is no such site as Free Republic. It is a lie. It is a Hollywood movie. I am in control. We have the internet captured. Do not listen to the infidels. Click to Remove The Infidels.

[amom]

Ahhh yes I noticed that.

[buickmackane]

OK, I hope the moderator will understand it's a newbie query. Thanks!
