I thought it was John Ashcroft that advised buying duct tape. But I've tried my best to forget the last 8 years, so maybe not.

Still, if Ridge can get the nomination, I think he will beat Specter. If Ridge runs, he would probably have the support of Bush, and that might be enough for the lunatic fringe to overlook his more moderate positions.

If he had just switched parties after endorsing Quomo over Pataki, like everybody suggested; he would probably be vice president now. I guess he didn't see the tidal wave of crazies taking over the republican party.

John McCain will now be remembered for foisting Sarah Palin and Sam the wannabe plumber on the nation. Thanks John.

The bible also says that those that don't follow Christ are condemned to hell. So if that's the reasoning Sam is using, then I guess he must not be letting Jews near his children either.

They don't have a dollar menu, but Subway has a selection of footlong subs for $5.00. I work evenings, so I buy one, and eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner. That's still a pretty good deal, and its better for you than the other fast food joints.

But there is something strange about hordes of people that just got a tax cut protesting the Obama tax plan. So I would say that Garofalo may have been on to something as far as these particular yahoo's brains not working properly.

I think the idea of purity balls is ridiculous. But we all do ridiculous things when we're teenagers. I wore parachute pants and had a Flock of Flying Sea Gulls hair cut. These kids have the misfortune of having parents that take The 700 Club a bit too seriously. A few years down the line, this nonsense will be their parachute pants.

I thought it was an interesting interview, but in my life, I've only met maybe one or two guys that cared about marrying a virgin. One for sure, he was an evangelical that was nuts(and a virgin himself). The other was when I was in the Navy, and for him it was just because he read an article about how virgins give the best head. So I doubt that idea lasted for very long.

That's when the board was really fun, some of those anonymous postings were hilarious.

As far as the guy wanting everyone to use real names, I understand the point. But I don't use my real name anywhere on the net. These boards are accessible by any lunatic in the world, the last thing I need is some message board yahoo calling me at 3am to tell me they disagree with my opinion of Sarah Palin. Or getting my kid and telling him that they're going to kill his daddy because I made a comment they didn't like.

Those kind of things did happen to a friend of mine who had a letter published in the local paper. Those were probably just local idiots, but with the net, anybody in the world with too much free time on their hands, and a deranged mind, could get it in their heads to start harrassing me, or worse.

If that means some random poster that I have never met doesn't respect my opinion, I can live with that.

Tell her to wear the panties her mother laid out for her.

While making conversation, make a dinner bet with her. Mention how awesome Dustin Hoffman was as Han Solo in Star Wars, when she insists that it was Harrison Ford, bet her dinner at a fancy restaraunt that it was Hoffman. When you get back to the office, go to imdb, when it turns out you're wrong, and she's giggling, about to let you out of the bet, just say that you never welsh on a bet.

If all else fails, invite her over for Festivus.

Bill Clinton was the public face of the Democratic party from 1992-2008. That had its advantages and disadvantages, but the general public had a mostly favorabl view of him.

That was the one casual dining chain that I really enjoyed. They went under last year, I guess since they never remodeled themselves to look like a glorified fast food joint. Just good, slightly overpriced, food. The Kensington Club is still the best steak I've ever had. I can make it at home, but it's never as good as it was at Steak and Ale.

I tried Friday's once, back in the late 90s. The place I just started working at had an employee discount there, so I gave it a try. It was ok I guess, but I never went back, so I guess not good enough.

I do agree with another poster, I really do like Chile's mushroom fajitas. Other than that, Texas Roadhouse is pretty good, but too loud, they blast the music like it's a dance club or something.

There is a local steakhouse I go to sometimes, Cimmaron Steakhouse. It's good, but still no match for Steak and Ale.

I guess it could happen, I hope so anyway. The memory of Hoover did keep them out of the whitehouse for 20 years. It might have been longer if Eisenhower hadn't agreed to run. Hopefully the spectre of Bush will haunt the republicans for years to come.

I'm not optimistic though, I figure in 8 to 12 years, some dipshit in a cowboy hat will show up and convince enough other dipshits that things will be even better if only we give massive tax cuts to his friends. If they can even make it close, they will figure out a way to steal it again.
