    Trust me, as a 38 year old former Marine with a mortgage payment, a masters thesis waiting to be written, and full social activism schedule, I have neither the time nor the inclination to want to stalk anyone. Let alone an ineffectual internet blogger such as yourself. Sorry, you will just have to look for someone else to fulfill your bizarre fantasies. Do feel free to shoot some more anger and invective my way though. It is entertaining.

    What a pathetic line of crap. I had some other person a while back that I had disagreements with over the internet who claimed to be a Special Forces soldier stationed in Afghanistan. I had always suspected that he wasn't what or who he said he was. After he was dramatically killed in a battle in Afghanistan, according to his "friend", who was a woman who lived in Texas, I more than suspected that he wasn't who he said he was and so I called him on it. Turned out that he was a woman who lived in Texas. You know, the "friend"? Wonder what you are?

    Feel free to get your rocks off calling me out on any spelling errors you happen to catch.

    Oh, and Adnoto, since I'm sure you'll choose to make fun of me after my having told you that I think you're lying or exaggerating about who you are I'll go ahead and give you something to go on.

    I'm no one special. Money fame and riches has continued to be elusive. I'm not rich by any stretch. I'm not 6'4" eyes of blue. That is who I am not, but I am nice looking and powerfully built. Thus, indeed, if you were to toss the insults at me in person that you have over the internet...well, you wouldn't. If you tried, you'd pay for it in blood.

    I have a couple of grown daughters that I'm extremely proud of. They've done well and are just all around lovely.

    I used to be (not long ago), a high quality distance runner/racer. Won a lot of races and placed well in others and had some impressive 'Best times' in distances such as 5k, 10k and ten mile. Now I just run for fun and fitness.

    I play banjo and harmonica. I've been playing harmonica since I was a kid. I just got going with the banjo a little over a year ago. I had tried it years back but, unfortunately, didn't stay with it. Now I am staying with it. Specifically I play clawhammer banjo. I hope in the next year or so I'll find a band to play in. I can't think of much of anything in this life that is more uplifting than music, and especially playing music.

    plea

    ksbagley,

    I had heard or read somewhere that Craig had changed his plea from guilty to innocent. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

    You can't change your plea after you are convicted. That's why the judges have a one page rap on, "Do you understand the...".

    This is what I get about bebop-o's, aka, Good Celery's posts?

    There is no way you can scan them without missing something. Every sentence, every word, stands on its own. You can't turn away from them or pretend like you think you have figured out where they are going. They don't play themselves out at any point. There is no, "I get it" moment. You just have to continue to read as they goes along and then take what you can from them. Hopefully, if you're lucky, you will feel enlightened for having done so.

  • Wide stance

    It just occurred to me that it would be very unlikely to come up with the 'wide stance defense' unless you thought you might need it someday. I mean, have any of you boys and girls ever given any thought to the width of your "stance" while taking a dump?

    [Read the article: McCain's selective defense of "traditional marriage"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It is perfectly consistent.

    McCain supports marriage between a man and a woman. He doesn't say anything about divorce or the idea that marriage should be until death do us part. Attacking McCain in this way on this issue is stupid.

    -- bushwacker00

    John McCain also entered the fray last night, calling the decision "a loss for the traditional family,"

    You then, you think that McCain doesn't see divorce or multiple divorces and what turns out to be in some cases multiple Step Families as "a loss for the traditional family"?

    Many on the political left are so entranced by the beauty of their vision that they cannot see the ugly reality they are creating in the real world.

    Does that statement not fit perfectly with the reality created by The Decider, Mr. 'from the gut' Bush?

    Thanks for that clip. It was priceless to see Orrin Hatch walk out of the interview because he didn't like how he was being questioned. There's a reason guys like Bill Bond never made it to the national level, they actually ask tough questions. They don't allow politicians to lie their asses off. Just once I'd love for a journalist to challenge Bush on one of his lies. Of course, that's never going to happen.

    -- Conservativeslay

    Don't forget about this interview of Bush by the Irish Journalist. If you haven't seen in it in full, you should. Bush is stupendously repulsive throughout.
