It's all but official. Drudge now reads and links like Kos.

It just is, okay? And everyone who uses it seems to think they're so clever..."I called it "Bareback Mountain" at work the other day, LMAO!" Sheesh.

What exactly is it when people or mods say zot on some of these threads? I've been noticing it lately but never really figured out what it was for? Thanks..

Now that we have a real Scotus nominee where are all the Miers supporters. Be consistant if you can.

NOT NECESSARILY THE (BREAKING) NEWS ... Please feel free to join in prayer for the protection of those serving our Country in the White House, in Iraq and elsewhere. And if you have any schadenfreude comments, well, you DO have the First Amendment. But the totalitarians are working on this problem. Meanwhile, John Podesta had no comment. Had to borrow that image, TiredofLaundry ;^)

Rush Limbuaugh, as I heard him today................. was a Lame-o on Curt Weldon. Sorry folks.................... the reason Rush is where he is today is because he seldom questions (seriously) the MOST important issues.To me he is way too often a gutless, self-absorbed ex-disc jockey from my town.The weasel seemed to make Curt Weldon smaller with his LAME coverage of the issue of Able Danger at the end of his show!Rush is a con artist.

He was introduced to me by my mother, and most times when this happens I end up either really not liking the person, or trying to ignore them due to a wanting to not like them. Neither occured with Rigo. Here comes the issue: Rigo was here illegally in the US. He was arrested several months back for being an illegal, and while in prison my mom...

I've been all through Control Panel and can't find what my version is. How would I locate that? I am on a Dell Inspiron 2650 running Windows XP Pro. Any hints? Thanking you in advance!!!

Okay. We need a little more silliness to get over the gloom-and-doom that McCain et all heaped upon us. So, I've been mulling this over: Is Phoebe Bufay a hired assassin? Consider: She had a troubled childhood. She has never revealed much about herself. She has lived overseas and surprised her friends with that fact. She wants to go to sniper school. She carries around an illegal knife. She once stole official police identification and was willing to use it illegally until she fell for the police detective whose it was. Her apartment keeps burning down. She makes veiled threats...

After ten years of working on Windows based PCs, I have finally had enough! The last straw came Wednesday night, when I set my Win XP computer up to run Norton Speed Disk and then went off to bed. In the morning, I found the computer locked up hard, and when I restarted it, it hung up on the opening screen. I tried to do a repair with the XP installation disk - it hung up.
