What has four legs, is green and fuzzy, and if it drops out of a tree, it'll kill you? A pool table.

A hack golfer spends a day at a plush country club, playing golf and enjoying the luxury of a complimentary caddy. Being a hack golfer, he plays poorly all day. Round about the 18th hole, he spots a lake off to the left of the fairway. He looks at the caddy and says, "I've played so poorly all day, I think I'm going to go drown myself in that lake." The caddy looks back at him and says, "I don't think you could keep your head down that long."

Using the whole fist there Doc?

Yea, but it's a dry heat.

I was in a walking cast for six weeks when I tore my achilles last year. My calf still hasn't regained it's size or strength fully. No thanks. Add a couple of zeros to the $17K and I might be persuaded.

And she would too, except that she stopped by the store on the way home, bought some groceries and filled up her gas tank.

Hey, it's the least I can do for someone who can name my butt in a lineup.

It's good work and with Vista you definitely have some job security I've got a couple of friends who work in IT. They're the one's who steered me towards the mac.

Yea, you're probably right. I hate doing it because "those guys" used to annoy the crap out of me. Then I tried to buy a laptop that didn't have Vista on it. I gave up and crossed over to the dark side. The linux folks seem pretty happy too but they have time to tinker. I'm just happy that I don't have to tinker, repeatedly reboot and hunt for drivers all the time. Now I just laugh at my Windows machine at work. After a re-install I had to downgrade Office XP to 2K because it wouldn't open our database. Then I got a Windows security alert because the Windows firewall blocked a Windows media player update. Priceless

A man went to see his doctor. "You need to stop masturbating," the doctor said. The man asked, "Why?" The doctor replied, "Because I'm trying to examine you!"

You probably don't want to hear this either. I bought a Macbook last December. I think I've used my home PC about three times since then and I've called it names each and every time. Next machine will be an iMac. I don't want to be "annoying Mac dude" but when they say "it just works" they mean it.

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to build a house. But, being a little eccentric, he wanted to build the house using only 99 bricks. So he went to the hardware store and said, "Hello, I like to buy 99 bricks." The owner of the store told him, "I'm sorry, we only sell bricks in quantities of 100." "Can't you cut me a deal or something?" the man asked. "Nope, sorry," replied the owner. So the guy bought 100 bricks. He took the bricks back to his lot, and he built a house using 99 bricks. Now, if you do the math, 100 minus 99 is 1, so he had one brick left. And he took that brick, and he just chucked it, way up in the air!

I think it was on a major network a year or so ago. It's freakin' hilarious! I DVR'd it last night. They take "man on the street" interviews and add the cartoons. There's a bunch on the net if you want to see more. http://www.youtube.com/results?search=related&search_query=art%20animation%20creature%20comforts%20aardman&v=pDo_vs3Aip4

Would that be a hat with two dildos or three?

Aint that the truth! I'm still pissed off about the 10 day climbing trip on Rainier that they screwed up. I'm carrying that grudge to my grave

That would have paid for a WHOLE lot of school lunches. Or scholarships. Or medical premiums. For someone that's campaigning on how many things are wrong that needs US to pay for, I'd sure like to see her do some leading by example. Why do Billvon's last couple of posts come to mind here? How much did Mitt donate to his campaign? About $35 Million? But for the record, about 9% of the Clinton's money since 2000 went to charity and supposedly $33 million went to taxes. Of course I have no idea why they'd pay that much unless they knew they were going to have their taxes scrutinized. Either that or $109 million over seven years doesn't get you into the big boys loophole club. I think Buffett only pays about 17%.

This primary process has revealed a subterranean fissure within the Democratic Party that have opened up into a visible chasm - a chasm of class, sex and race. Obama supporters - blacks, youths and educated. Clinton - working class whites, older women and Latinos. Each of these groups is deeply passionate about their respective candidate. NEITHER group is deeply passionate about the other candidate. How many people sit out an election because they are unhappy with the choices? The Dems - if they want to win - must bring these passionate voters to the polls in droves in November. When you've got half of the base of Democratic voters that will be dispassionate - or even hateful - of the other candidate. This, in itself, leads to voter apathy of the Democratic base that is needed to defeat McCain. That's the point. The blue collar white male vote is crucial. These are the 25% of voters for whome race DOES matter. These are the ones who will vote for McCain over Obama or no-show. The same will CERTAINLY apply if Clinton gets the nod, for Obama's passionate supporters will NOT vote for the woman whom they viewed stole the nomination. The Dems have seriously screwed themselcves, and I am unconvinced that they have the group competence to pull themselves out of this quagmire. The party is fracturing right before our eyes, and I would not at all be surprised to find a realignment of the parties by 2012. Part of your observation could be attributed to the division that occurs with the presence of additional candidates. If you had a very popular Latino candidate that was running as closely you'd have yet another sub-set to isolate. A neck-and-neck race gets people up off their seat and they become more passionate. That is the most likely reason for the increased voter registration. Indeed, a fracture is possible but its up to the candidates to look at the primary in its entirety. If the Dems can keep all of these voters interested enough in the November election then they stand to win big. If they allow a fracture to occur due to a poorly handled exit by the runner up then it's a big problem. As for party fractures, the R's are just as much f'd as the dems, maybe more so. The loudest part of the party is very unhappy with their candidate. You now have those claiming to be "republicans" and those trying feverishly to discern themselves as "conservatives". Your third party prediction may be well on track. As noted earlier, a McCain/Clinton ticket ain't as crazy as it sounds. I don't want to see it but it's viable.

So the Greeks had it all wrong and it took until the early 1600's for a few smart English folks to translate the "definitive word of God" from the original Greek texts? And if man had nothing to do with it then what about all of those other books that were culled out of the final version? Why didn't Judas' gospel make the cut?
-
I've heard that as well but my hunch is that it's only emotion talking. I seriously doubt that when it's down to McCain and Dem X that those voters will vote for four years with "Bush Light". I suppose it will all depend on how the Dem loser handles the exit. I wonder what the chance would be that Obama would allow her on the ticket as VP.
-
Actually there are some good arguments for her staying in the race. Tankbuster does have a point in that one of the candidates might get successfully swiftboated over a non-issue. Then you've got a backup. Secondly, having both candidates running as strongly as they are is keeping them as the lead story every day for the last year. Also, it's driving record voter registration for the Democratic party. It's not a bad plan if one of them doesn't go overboard and blow it for both of them.
-
Maybe an endorsement from some white ones would help her game. Works for McCain.
-
All good points. She's going to have to do some very careful dancing over the next couple of weeks if she wants to stay in the race without creating some serious problems for the party. It can be done but it's got to stay clean.
