Yeah, that must be the reason. Either that or nobody gives a shit. That's some sense of humor ya got there... Pick that up at a yard sale, damaged? Or did ya just miss my ? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'm pretty sure he moderately damaged his plane -- I think it was a biplane, actually. I'm having trouble turning up anything at all about it on the internet. I think the left-wing media deleted all traces of it in an effort to protect this golden-goose of liberal fundraising. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

There are regs regarding what you have to do and how you have to report it, depending on what the extent of damage or injuries are. I don't remember them exactly, I would have to look in my F.A.R./A.I.M. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I tried a steak and kidney pie in the school refectory when I took a semester in East Barnet. It, um, smelled and tasted like piss, so I dumped it. I can't believe anyone would want to eat KIDNEY, since I know now that it smells and tastes like piss. (I had not suspected before I tried it.) YUCK! I loved the fish and chips and the pastry-wrapped sausages and stuff over there. I don't quite understand the insulting of British and Irish food... I think it's enjoyable. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Okay, let any of the private pilots here smash a runway light at kPBI and split, leaving someone else to explain, and see how long they keep their ticket. WTF, you insisting he didn't get a pass because he's Jimmy Buffett, liberal whore and democratic fundraiser in liberal democratic Palm Beach county? It is to laugh. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

A lot of what, profit? So much that they probably shoot their dairy cows full of BgH or whatever that hormone was called, to boost milk production. "Ohhh, it's harmless. Can't tell milk from a BgH cow from milk from a non-BgH cow." Yeah, sure. And the Brits said that mad cow disease was no threat to humans -- until people died of it and then they said, "Uh, maybe were were wrong in insisting that." Does Dairy Queen use hormonally-treated milk cows? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

DeMar should be cited for failing to kill the piece of shit Billings. On every other charge, he should walk. It's nice to know they dropped the firearm charge, but now, of course, his gun ownership is known to the authorities so I presume he had to give them up. It's also troubling that the law still exists to screw gun owners who might find themselves in the same predicament DeMar was in. The gun laws in IL are for shit. I read that they're trying to decriminalize gun ownership when the gun is used in self defense. GOOD. I hope that passes, as a stopgap until we can get right-to-carry in IL. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I don't know what a Mr. Bill is, nor do I know the definition of a "bandit jump." As far as taking a mouthful of avgas, I'd never do it. If you wanna, be my guest. I don't believe that fun is measured by how many rules you break. I think that's a juvenile attitude that can get people hurt or killed. I can have incredible fun at skydiving without doing anything either stupid, against the rules, or unnecessarily risky. Can't you? I'm not alinging myself with safety-nazis, either (thanks, Drew Carey, for that term). Also, it's fine with me if a person with an injury makes light of his situation -- as long as he's not advocating that others do stuff that might be unsafe, nor making light of safety advocacy. Some people need to do skydiving in the extreme, and others don't. I'm too new to it all to make a judgment about where I'll end up some day, but for now, with exactly 100 jumps (and a weather shutdown last week when I would have done 101-104), I'm going to err on the side of caution every time, for as long as I can help it. I want to live, uninjured, to skydive for a long time to come. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Exactly. You know, I've seen the MooLatte advertised and not once, not even for a second, not even as a joke thought it sounded anything even similar to a racial slur. *shrug* I guess I'm not cultured enough to truely understand racism and racist comments... I think that a LOT of people don't know of the term "mulatto." I can't help thinking that if not for the term "mulatto," there would be no "play" to putting "moo" and "latte" together, so YES, I do think that "moolatte" is derived from "mulatto." Is that indication that DQ is racist in an institutional sense? Absolutely not. But a little dumb in coming up with this name, yeah. And I am NOT the kind of person to go around "seeing" racism everywhere. But I have to go with the satire writer there; it seems done in bad taste. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I didn't know the dem convention this year was the first ever instance of gov't surveilance and control of public protest. Thanks for clearing that up. Still trying to figure out how me saying it's wrong no matter who does it is "making a big deal out of it". Also wondering how you can make that claim when I posted more vehemently when the dems did it. The suspicion that you are rightly under right now is that you might have (probably would have) said nothing about this policy if the republicans had not followed suit and done it. If the policy -- old or new -- was what outraged you, and you knew it went on at the DNC, then why didn't you complain in the time between the DNC and the current questioning that went on for the RNC? Can you see how this makes your griping suspect? How can we know that you would have still complained about the security measures taken if the republicans had not engaged in them? It easily begins to seem that you would not have, since it's been weeks since the dems did the same thing and you're only voicing a complaint about it now that the republicans did it. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Then why weren't you so passionate about it when it was happening? Why NOW do you raise a fuss? Selective attention? Looks like you caught him in a state of hypocrisy. Of course they don't complain about shit the democrats do. Only when the same thing is done by or for republicans is it suddenly wrong -- and of course the timing of the complaints exposes the hypocrisy. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yes, and if they didn't do it, and left everyone exposed to the threat of possible plots of assassination and/or major disruption not exclusive of terrorist attack and people died, the left would then bitch that the Republican administration had not done enough to safeguard lives. It's fucking maddening how the left wants it both ways, and believe me, the rest of us fully realize the impossible position that leftist hatred of anything non-leftist leaves us in: damned if you do, and damned if you don't. NOTHING the Bush administration does will meet with the approval of these people. If he tightens security, he's chilling the first amendment; if he relaxes security, he's not doing enough to safeguard lives. There reaches a point when these whiners lose all credibility -- when one realizes that you can't possibly please them, and that's just the failure they want you to make. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

That reminds me of a t-shirt I once saw, with one of those old-fashioned drawings of a guy's face saying, "How about a nice, tall glass of 'shut-the-fuck-up?!' " It cracks me up to this day. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What separates me from Kerry? The fact that there are no sections of the U.S. Constitution that I have decided to shit on, the way he does the Second Amendment (which he so cynically lies and claims to support). That's all the difference I need. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Ahh, are we admitting here that Kerry is noncommittal and won't pin down his positions on anything? (Except maybe for gun control ... but no, even on that he's trying to palm himself off as some sort of "hunter" friend of gun owners...) If you can't know which side of an issue Kerry really believes in, how can you vote for him? (I guess you make a determination for yourself as to which side of the issue he really believes, and you take his statements in favor of the other side as just so much politician-lying bullshit. The example of voting anti-gun all the way down the line and then going out on photo-op "hunts" and talking a line of shit about "crawling on my belly while hunting deer" comes to mind.) - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

This the same Jimmy Buffett who ran over a runway light at Palm Beach International Airport, then didn't stick around, leaving instead some spokesman/underling to explain what happened to the FAA? I have no respect for the man, so I'll not be "leaving Jimmy alone" just 'cause you demanded it. A real man would have stuck around to answer for his fuckup. Jimmy didn't. (I haven't heard anything about how that one turned out, either. The S. Florida press is not real keen on smearing their golden boy.) - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

And yes, only Republicans work to fund welfare . . . Us Dems don't contribute at all. Kelly The point is more that democrats want to insist that everyone do what they say, and then that those others also uphold the burden of the largesse brought on by the democrats. In other words, "It's a great idea we had to have society fund welfare -- now go out and do it, peasant! (I've got a ketchup empire to run!)" Democrats are great at planning a utopia that no one knows how to pay for. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I just cannot figure out why they continue to report this lie. "Gun owners support gun bans." Yeah, okay, sure. Do they have any idea how absurdly false this claim looks, on its face?! It's no more credible than a claim that a poll found that 71% of feminists support tighter restrictions on abortion access. It's a load of anti-gun bullshit, like everything that comes from that direction. - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Which democrats do I support, Jeff? Kerry...and who else/ Keep supporting those republicans and voting on a single issue and you're only insuring that you're going to need those guns to get back every other right. I don't have specifics on your voting plans, Kevin. I just recall seeing you support Democrats and join the Republican bashng. Am I wrong to think that you plan to vote for Kerry the gun banner? Hey, at least if the Republicans really do fuck things up in the grandest sense, we'll have guns to take back our rights with. If the Democrats get the guns taken away and then we of course lose all the other rights sequentially, then we'll really be fucked! - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

SECOND THAT. Shit, man, just do like I do -- I know what's good! Blue skies, - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I've got bad news for you Jeffrey: too many cops have that apathy for responsibilty. That's one (relatively small) reason I'm becoming a cop - we need good ones. disclaimer: I said too many, not most. Do some good, man.

Keep supporting those democrats, Kev. Get enough of 'em in power and they may start doing house-to-house searches to round up those $15 full-caps you plan on buying. After all, if no one opposes their lying treachery when they call these things deadly and imply that they're so much worse than 10-rounders, or that "assault weapons" are so much more deadly than non-assault-weapons, what do you think we'd be in for? How do you think you can vote for liberals yet keep your right to own these things? THE PEOPLE YOU VOTE FOR ARE THE VERY ONES WHO MADE YOU HAVE TO WAIT TEN YEARS FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR RIGHT ALL ALONG. How can there be any confusion about this? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Okay, so the police are protected from liability for their fuckups, like letting someone out mistakenly, and that person then murders others. Um, what if the police abuse that "immunity" -- start doing their jobs with such utter apathy and contempt for their responsibilities that they do this three, four, seven, eighteen, four hundred times?? Does the liability immunity extend no matter how egregious the incompetence and misfeasance? Does it extend no matter how many times they can be shown to not have taken proper care and precautions?! What are the limits of protection for cops who can fuck up with impunity even when it costs innocent people their lives? Can you imagine having a job where even your FATAL mistakes don't bring a shitstorm to envelope you? - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

If it's bad and the press doesn't state directly ("Republican Jack Ryan", etc) then odds on it's a Democrat. The wife was standing there 'supporting' his decision after he made a complete fool of her. Maybe she'll move to a big state and run for Senate. the gay announcement was a distraction and a political self protection thing - he cheated, was being blackmailed - he's just putting on a protective cloak provided by PC thugs Rush Limbaugh today was saying that the gay issue was a smokescreen and NOT the real reason for the resignation. For one thing, he said that Dem party bosses in NJ forced him out, and for another, they said the biggest reason for his resignation is that he was in a position to be blackmailed by a guy whom he appointed to a sensitive position (no puns, please) despite the fact that the guy had no training or experience (the Homeland Security thing). Rush was saying the guy is gone not because he had an affair, but because his judgment was awful, and reckless. Good one about the wife running for senate. If I were her, I'd have left him writhing and driven away with his nuts hanging from the rear-view mirror. - - -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
