It IS Texas, so maybe not. I think and maybe our lawyer friend can provide some answers, but the lengthy conversation of the dispatcher asking the man not to go outside with the gun will be some pretty damning evidence against him. (I think that was a run on sentance) I sure this is not the first time these men have caused a family financial hardship, fear that there home is no longer safe. These men paid the ultimate price for their crime, but Pasadena and the Houston area is a little safer because they no longer walk the earth.

Per your profile, it appears you don't live in a country, well at least one that has a name.

After replacing the line set on my Hornet 190, I began to experience hard openings. Nothing so bad that it prevented me from jumping the canopy. However, on 11/12/2007, that all change when I was slammed to a stop after deployment. With neck, back, and rib pain and difficulty in breathing I made it to the ground. I had a great deal of bruising on the right side of my chest and left lower back, also suffered a large bruise on my right thigh. I went to the doctor and was told that I suffered two cracked ribs, which turned out not to be cracked after all but the muscles surrounding them were badly bruised. The neck pain is gone, but after a week, I'm still not able to lay down in bed due to the pain on the ribs and the breathing is very painful. It seems the recliner is far more comfortable. As for the Hornet 190, I've given special instructions to Spaceland that if they see me with it, to beat the Crap out of me. I figure I can recover from the beating faster than I'm recovering from my hard opening.

Well, I personnally would not charge the man. But I think its very possible a Grand Jury will bring charges against him.

> Bravo, Bush...you "conservative" you. And to think, he scratches his head at night wondering why he is at 32% approval. As a pilot myself, a 263 percent tax on Avgas looks like the Government is trying to tell the GA pilots to get the hell out of the skies.

> So those taxpayers ended up paying five times what they did before. But at least the TV's sucked! Bureaucracy at its finest. Reminds me of NASA. Do any of our Prisons require inmates to harvest their own Veggies? Just down the road from Spaceland on Co. Road 521 there is a prison and I've seen prisoners working in the field. How about raising cattle as well?

OK everyone, let's say it together: Yes, he's an asshole, but he's OUR ASSHOLE. With that, we should all find comfort that you are not currently setting national policy.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Yea, I agree, it's great to strike down programs that help people, I mean, we are here to further the corporate agenda, people just suck, I agree. I think with a little work, Congress can make some adjustments by reducing the amount of spending to a sum the President can live with. Then all those with their hands out can get all the money and pet projects they have become to believe they are intitled to.

"It will lead the country to chaos if I do not handle the political environment now with me remaining as the president,'' Musharraf told AP. With all them Nukes, who do we want to support in terms of power? This situation could become a great deal worse with Nuke technology being shared with some unsavory characters.

> As Bill says, the Congress runs the U.S. Maybe we should stop ragging on Bush for everything and focus more on Congress. That would require American's to grow a pair.

Then again, global warming is irrelevant to the religious zealots who embrace the end of the world as a good thing. Religious zealots don't embrace the end of the world, but some do embrace liberals right to abortion. Since most religious zealots have no intention of killing off their next generation as opposed to liberals killing off their future generations it sould be a win / win. With fewer and fewer liberals breading and those that kill off their young, this alone should reduce Global Warming. I'm doing my part in purchasing C02 offsets with some new scrubs around the house and a few flowers. NOTE: The above comment is on par with your religious zealot crap.

...its been two years since I even used the damn thing.) Credit Cards are the Great Evil and have caused the ruin of many. You did the right thing in cancelling the shell card once again...but beware you maybe required to yet again cancel it next year. Credit Card companies are like nats, can't swat em fast enough.

I't is possible this attack letter will generate 5,000,000 before its all said and done. Rush is putting 2,100,100.00 of his own money to this good cause so far. Now what happens to this letter? What is the historical value of this letter in the future? Does this letter give any of us any indication as to how our nation will be run if Hillary becomes president and will Rush be able to continue his radio program without fear of government thugs taking his golden EIB microphone to fund Air America. Will Armed Services Radio be required to carry 3 hours of Air America to balance NPR? I'll ponder these question as I drive my Wife's Hummer to lunch doing my part to prevent Global Cooling.

My example using the Term policy was only to show that you can have effectively 3X the amount of insurance coverage at a reduced rate which in the example would take care of your spouses financial needs for a longer period of time. The 35K was based on accumulation of 240 months, compound that out another 180 months and the sum would surprise you when you reach the age of 68 which would be 35 years from now. A Cash Value policy takes a great deal of time to accumulate due to Expense Charges, commissions, and policy fees. Most do not even have value for the first 2 years. But to your question, of Term being Temporary and Whole Life being Permenant and the ability to get something back. Lets look at what the Insurance Company does with your $140.00 monthly premium. They re-insure there risk with another company with a TERM policy effectively reducing there internal cost for manageing you possible death sometime in the future. Underwritters have determined that they can get said coverage for $15.00 per month. They then take the difference and invest it over your life time, making them millions and paying you pennies to the dollar.

Just remember, contractually the cash in a whole life policy is part of the Death benefit, i.e. over time as the cash builds up in your policy you are transfering RISK from your insurer to YOU. Every Insurer goes through a Re-insurer to finance there risk and they do so with TERM. Lets say if you have the policy for 20 years and the Cash Value is $20,000 and you die. State Farm will take your $20,000 and their $80,000 making the total $100,000 and pay your husband $100,000 dollars, he does not get both. It appears on the face of your post you may well be paying the necessary targeted primium to keep the policy in force till the end of your life expectancy. Borrowing your own money, and paying it back with interest is not financially a good idea. Here is a good example.. A 35 year Level Term Life policy of $300,000 for a 33 year old non-smoker and $300,000 for a 34 year old spouse non-smoker would average around $104 a month. Thats a total of $600,000 dollar. $300,000 for less is best. You take the $36.00 savings and invest in a good mutual fund compounding a 12% and you could realize a $35,969.33 return over 20 years. (Thats a Win / Win)

In response to gelling of viewpoints. I found her answers to the two question very interesting, not what I was exspecting from a Liberal.

www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2007/10/10/britney/index1.htm I was scanning acticles on the internet and came accross Salon.com. Camille Paglia responds to several questions, the questions posted here are located on page two "The paranoid withdrawal fantasy", from Phillip J. Hubbell of Omaha, Neb. and a Global Warming question from a guy named Hanson. I left the "Lesbian bathroom sex: A report from the front lines!" discussion alone. That might be a topic of interest for someone else. Q: Frankly, I have greater respect for Osama bin Laden than for any of the Democratic senators. Finding myself between al-Qaida and the DNC/Moveon.org/Daily Kos in a war zone, I would be hard-placed to know which way to shoot. Phillip J. Hubbell Omaha, Neb. A: Surely you don't really mean what you say. Surely this bloody scenario is a rhetorical sally, meant to shock and amuse. The senators of my party, with a few stellar exceptions like Dianne Feinstein, may be a pack of vain, spineless, poll-puking, strutting peacocks, but they are not mass murderers. They did not coolly plan an amoral strike on American landmarks and cause the unspeakable suffering, death and incineration of nearly 3,000 people, U.S. citizens as well as foreign nationals. As for the Democratic Party's governing committee or the combative, impudent left-liberal activist groups, they are just as committed to their altruistic vision of a future America as are conservatives, who base their values on tradition and faith. Both sides deserve respect. However, I must confess my own exasperation with the Democratic leadership, who spout tiresome platitudes but achieve little and who stampede off on puerile publicity stunts that alienate potential voters across party lines. The latest example is the near-delusional campaign to turn popular radio host Rush Limbaugh, who has unwaveringly supported the military for nearly 20 years, into an anti-military antichrist. If Democrats are serious about ideology-based government regulation of talk radio, then the party is fast abandoning its fundamental principles, central to which should be constitutionally protected free speech. To return to your war zone hypothetical, I doubt that the sociopaths of al-Qaida would be moved to mercy by your extermination of (probably pacifist and fumblingly unarmed) fellow Americans. Wouldn't you be next in the terrorists' line of fire? This kind of partisan rancor and mutual recrimination are the sad legacy of two self-destructive administrations in a row. Bill Clinton's lies about his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky paralyzed the government and tainted his legacy, while George Bush's poor judgment and managerial ineptitude have mired us in an endless, brutal war with little chance for a happy ending. I find it hard to believe that my fellow Democrats want to backtrack and relive every tedious scandal from the Clinton era. But that's what we'll get if Hillary is the nominee -- a long, sulfurous night of the walking dead, with chattering skeletons tumbling out of every closet. I've been discouraged by the clumsy missteps of the Edwards campaign, but I'm still hopeful about Barack Obama, who had the guts and good sense to publicly oppose the Iraq war from the start and whose ascent promises a clean, invigorating break from the sordid past. Q: I too grew up in upstate New York. I am an environmental groundwater geologist (who almost majored in fine arts). Your take on the Al Gore/global warming pseudo-catastrophe was right on target. Anyone can read up on Holocene geology and see that climate changes are caused by polar wandering and magnetic reversals. It is entertaining, yet sad to read bloviage from Leonardo DiCaprio, who is so self-centered that he thinks the earth's history and climate is a function of his short personal stay on this planet. Still he, Al Gore, Prince Charles and so on, ad nauseam, continue with their jet-set lifestyles. What hypocrisy! Hanson A: Thank you for your input on the mass hysteria over global warming. The simplest facts about geology seem to be missing from the mental equipment of many highly educated people these days. There is far too much credulity placed in fancy-pants, speculative computer modeling about future climate change. Furthermore, hand-wringing media reports about hotter temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere are rarely balanced by acknowledgment of the recent cold waves in South Africa and Australia, the most severe in 30 years. Where are the intellectuals in this massive attack of groupthink? Inert, passive and cowardly, the lot of them. True intellectuals would be alarmed and repelled by the heavy fog of dogma that now hangs over the debate about climate change. More skeptical voices need to be heard. Why are liberals abandoning this issue to the right wing, which is successfully using it to contrast conservative rationality with liberal emotionalism? The environmental movement, whose roots are in nature-worshipping Romanticism, is vitally important to humanity, but it can only be undermined by rampant propaganda and half-truths.

I'm a Hummer owner or actually my wife is. We only drive it for fun, trips, beach trips and OK I confess, just about every day. But I intend to sell the Chevy Tahoe and purchase a Audi A6 for a better ride and gas milage.

The above referenced video had a stupid cat with a irritating voice, could'nt make it beyound 2.5 minutes.

*grumble* that's because he has been completely misquoted in the press... *sigh* It's not a matter of being "late" trying to explain anything. Limbaugh has been outright misquoted in the mainstream media. Maybe Bill just needs to visit Rush's Web site or listen to his program or maybe even give him a call for the facts. Most reporters seem to do none of the above but take two words from a ongoing radio show conversation and try do distroy Limbaugh's reputation. The Dems as of yet have not entered any resolution condeming Rush and the Drive by Media is back in their convertables speeding away from this story that was getting no traction. Rush by a majority is very well appreciated by the Military and their families for his unwavering support.

Ted Nugent had this to say, www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Texas+Monthly+Ted+Nugent Need to take a class on how to link web sites.

> Today multi millionaires regard themselves as middle class Read somewhere, WSJ or Fotune that a million dollars saved is no longer considered rich. The new standard to be considered rich is a minimum of 5,000,000.00.

> NO ONE could possibly do a worse job... I think Carter still holds the title for worse job, history is still out on the current Pres., there is hope however, Bush does'nt stand a chance winning the 2008 election.

That would be great if we did that. Basically stopped interfering in other countries affaires. Sending tons of weapons and sending billions of dollars a year to Israel is definitely not the way to do it. >http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1284716,00.html Someone may know how to link the site above. But Israel had a good reason to put a hole in the desert.

Stiring the pot alittle early this morning are we. You post put Zippy asleep.
