  1. Blair and his apologists are calling the report 20/20 hindsight. I would remind those apologists that large parts of the world, including Canadians and many Americans, were not fooled at the time. And we pretty much predicted the results correctly. I don't know Blair's motivations, but the neo-cons who started up the war machine in the US had the very worse of reasons. Religious fervor.

  2. America needs Canada. It gives young men a safe place to hide from the draft when your war machine gets over revved up. Obviously you have been partaking of too much medicinal marijuana. We have not had a draft for nearly a half a century. Although I know that to burned out aging hippies, it seems like just yesterday. I just turned 59, so maybe so. But your young men still are required to register for selective service. And Canada is still here to be the refuge of choice. Maybe you'll come here to escape living under the new Clinton regime.

  3. He's putting his daughter's works of art up there, he gets a free pass. That's the best kind of art there is! SS appliances. Tacky copies of commercial equipment.

  7. I would agree with you, it is only about half dead, so Obama will be safely out of office by the time Obamacare meets its just and predictable demise. Which is a shame because he wasted all of his political capital in the first year of his Presidency on Obamacare. Had he focused on entitlement and tax reform, he could have gone down as one of the greats. http://www.iwf.org/blog/2800704/Three-Ways-ObamaCare-is-Failing The legacy of Obamacare is that in the end it will be the first step in the journey to real socialized medicine in America.

  10. That's how I've always done it. Try to lead by just a little and don't give in to the temptation to turn toward them too soon. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. ho hum... no news here. it's exactly what everyone knew was coming. Except for Comey throwing them a bone by using the phrase "extremely careless". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. Sometimes when you need a word you have to make one. Your post was worth reading just for this alone. Made my morning, thanks! And yes, fridge magnets are an important part of the art gallery in my kitchen as well. Edit, my God!! I Googled it, and it's a real word. I even learned something, thanks again!

  13. Just had mine last week. Didn't even jump. . . I turned 59 June 23, no jumping I was at my real job. Looks like 1957 was a good year. And not just for Chevys. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. The aneroid that controls it is sealed inside, the crack in the lens will not affect it.

  15. The only thing I would have done differently than you is that I would have saved my arms for landing by using the still good left toggle to set up a left hand pattern, or at least avoiding turning right if the pattern was set.

  18. It's more complicated than that. Stainless steel is a ferrous metal but many types are non-magnetic, others are magnetic. All are alloys by definition. See the link I posted earlier. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  20. So, you go looking for a story from a young woman who has regret, cherry pick a utube vid of one, and think that her story somehow justifies forcing women who want an abortion to have to jump through hoops. You are merely using this story as a reason to impose restrictions on women. You couldn't even acknowledge her as a woman in post 21. You referred to her as a girl. In the condescending way you always have when you try to impose your feeling about abortion on society in general. If her family or boyfriend acted in an inappropriate way that is still no justification for legal intervention. Women often become pregnant in a coercive manner, but it's not always rape. Unless she was forced to have an abortion against her will, it not illegal, and again none of your business. If they have not had one, but are going to, that is also something you can do nothing about. Because it is not your body and it is not any of your business. It does not matter what you are cool with, or not cool with. Again, not your business, not your body, not your zygote or fetus, not your womb, not your life. Even if your sperm happens to be involved. Why do you think your feelings should be a factor in a woman's life decisions? There is no justification for that. None. From post 21, which you seem to think I ignored: As a "pro-choice nut bag" I don't know why I even bother discussing this. Suffice it to say the the majority of your SC is composed of free choice nut bags. Although I'm fairly sure that they, like me, would prefer to think of themselves as advocates for woman's rights and freedoms. Chew that over on the occasion of Independence Day.

  22. If it has no markings, and no part number, it is not a TSO'd freebag. Therefore some creative master rigger made it. Or it is from a Canadian made non TSO'd rig. Westway Innovator perhaps? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. Thanks, your link led me to this: Garry Trudeau for the win: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/06/23/how-doonesbury-predicted-donald-trumps-presidential-run-29-years-ago/ Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. Which one of these two conflicting statements best reflects what you really mean to say about women who have abortions? The reality is you are conflicted. Deep down you feel it is infanticide, which is just a form of homicide. But when confronted by Wendy, who you have at least an online relationship with, you get all soft and mushy. There you go again, being all condescending. Women do not need your help, or counseling or a priest or a frigging lawyer if they decide on an abortion. They need a good doctor who does not have to fear that some right wing religious wack job is going to try to kill them with a freaking sniper rifle though their kitchen window some dark night.

  25. Happy Independence Day friends. And something special for those considering voting for Despicable Donald in the fall. It's not too late to reconsider. Don't read this today though. It's not something to celebrate, save it for later in the week. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/22/opinions/clinton-lesser-two-evils-obeidallah/?iid=ob_article_footer_expansion Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.
