Apr 9th 2009 5:49PM If you want to see an American President bow to the King of Saudia Arabia, look at a split screen of GW and Obama.
GW does the full bow from the waist, Obama only does a half nelson kind.
See, just goes to prove, GW is better than Obama.

Conservative Crowd Makes Joe the Plumber 'Horny' {Politics Daily}
Mar 20th 2009 6:29PM Come on FARMGIRL, when Joe the fake Plumber, Sarah the poster girl for teaching abstenance to your kids, and Rush, the lock up the drug dealers until he becomes one, are the faces and voices of the Republican Party, it won't take a Liberal to bring them down. They are doing a great job all by themselves.
Not to mention the Just say NO crowd in Congress, and the Gov's who are turning down the stimulus money.
I can see all the un-employed in those states pulling the Republican lever at the next election.

delco... not a good idea because i live in Texas, do not make me live with these nut cases who think Bush did a good job."
A fair voice crying in the wilderness...My sympathy. Please feel free to escape to a more welcoming area. Once Rush gets done crying and whinning over this, i'd imagine that a few of his diddo heads will run to the Reds. Especially the ones from PA who will vote to whack Senator Specter in the red neck primary, and then go nuts when a Democrat is elected Senator.
Keep the faith, even TX might turn Blue soon...

An interesting thought, but try this one, I think it fits better.

The 10 scariest runways in the world {Gadling}
Jul 13th 2008 3:36PM A number of years ago, I was going to the West Coast and had to change planes in Denver. The guy in the seat next to me was an Air Force pilot and we talked most of the trip. When we were coming in to land, he got quiet and just sat there, I had not flown much at that time so I sat and watched the landing.
When we were on the ground, I could tell that he was real tense, and then relaxed. I asked him what was up, and he said he didn't want to scare me, but Denver is one of the worst places to land, as the wind shear that comes from the mountains is terrible.
He said he hates to land there, as it is so bad. Now when I fly, I do every thing possible to avoid going through Denver.
Who are the world's most obnoxious tourists? Hint: it's not the Americans {Gadling}
Jul 12th 2008 7:44PM I was in Hawaii a numer of years ago, and visited the USS Arizona memorial. The room with the names of our sailors who were killed in the attack was filled with tourists, and many were Japanese. To me, the room was a solem reminder of that day, and should have been treated with respect.
The Japanese in the room were noisy and disrespectfull. I know they were aware of where they were, and what they were looking at, but it did not matter.
A few minutes later, a friend and I were standing at the rail, looking at the oil buble up, and discussing how rude they were, a young American girl was just standing there, turned to my friend, and said, I kicked one of them. We both looked at her, she smiled and I guess went back to her parents.

Paris Hilton Thinks Kasey Kahne is Cute {Fanhouse Motorsports Blog}
Aug 4th 2007 3:12PM What's the big deal with Paris slumming into NASCAR? She's already ceritified trailer park trash.
Give her a Bud and a smoke, and she'll be right at home with the other ex cons.
Maybe she'll even get her career back singing Country and Western songs while she travels the circuit in her own moble double wide.
Pro-Choice or Pro-Life? Neither, Exactly {News Bloggers}
Jul 21st 2007 5:00PM JoJo Said.. "81. no one is forced to keep a child. so many people who are unable to have a baby would take any child in a minute."
I am neither for, or against abortion. I do believe that it should be legal and safe, but the absolute last option.
There are realities in the world. One is that people will have sex. Most will use some form of protection, but many will not. The reasons vary, mostly from lack of understanding, yes, even in this day and age. But those that do not, will run the risk of becoming pregnant without intending to.
I believe that every school, church, and community group that has children in it should go out of their way to provide real, intellignet sex education. Yes, it should be done at home, but does any one honestly believe, that in the areas that this happens most, it is really happening?
And this education would be for boys and girls, the boys have to know what they are doing, and will be creating another life just as much as girls.
Churchs and politicians have to make a choice, either abortion is bad, and they not only accept birth control and education, but endorse it, or birth control is wrong, and they will accept the consequence of unprotected sex, and unplanned pregnancies and their aftermath. If they make abortion illegal, does any one really think that it will stop? Perhaps the remnants of those who believed that Prohibition would eliminate alcohol from the US, but no one else.
Aborton would go from safe and regulated, to back rooms and seedy motels. The only winners would the organized crime families who would jump on this huge new revenue stream. There would be some smal time Mom and Pop operatins for a while, but eventually the big boys would squeeze them out and control just about all abortions in the nation.
I have a young daughter, and I most certainley hope that she never needs to make the choice about having an abortion, but, if the time comes, and she does, I would much rather her going to a safe and medically regulated facility, than the NoTell Motel and be under the care of Dr. Tony "Sharp Knife" Mulligan and Dr. Jose "Chopper" Gonzales.
Finally, and to tie in the beginning of this post from JoJo (#81) There are a lot of people who want to adopt a healthy baby of their own ethnic background. There are few standing in line for the crack addicted baby, or the baby with a serious mental or physical problem.
I would make this very serious proposal to all of those who feel so strongly against abortion.
Set up a real group who can go to the abortion clinics, and do their best to talk the women out of it with a promise to provide full medical care while pregnant, and a guarantee that the child will be adopted by a loving caring family.
Then, starting with the politicians and church groups and anti-abortion groups, set up a numerical lottery. Your number determines your place in line for a child in your area. No deferments, when your number comes up, the next baby born is your to raise. The sex, ethnic, physical condition do not matter. If your number is 34, and that child is an African American born with crack in his veins, he's yours.
I think that a combination of education, birth control aids, and the adopting of unwanted children all take place, it will eventually make abortion rare...
At least one can hope.
Flights Getting Longer {Gadling}
Jun 10th 2007 5:04PM It would be nice if someone could come up with "actual terminal time" for a flight. Using a 2 hour flight from and to a major airport, it could be a total of 5 hours.
1 hour through security, 1 hour from boarding to actual take off, 2 hours flight time, and 1 hour from landing until you (hopefully) have your bags and leave the terminal.
