Yeah man....very cool looking site. I love the pics from the "Base race". WHOIS says the site was created 09/16/08.....don't know anything about who is running the site though.

Not exactly true Rad, Prop 8 has gotten a ton of press so many people outside of California (I am east coast) know about it. Given it is election time his title "NO on prop 8 (California) makes it 100% clear what the thread is about. Agreed....no on 8.

Easier said than done. Election departments do look for fraud and registering multiple times while not only being criminal would not necessarily be successful. Do a search on this type of fraud and see how common it is..... extremely uncommon as it really is a bit too difficult to pull off on any type of scale. What is far far more prevalant is trying to disenfranchise groups of voters by not letting them vote. Allowing everyone who is legally entitled to vote to cast a ballot is not a bad thing....that is the America my dad fought for.

Tom - Welcome to the flock! When you get back up to New England make sure you plan some time to jump with the Pepperell flock

Wikipedia does say that he is a lifelong Democrat. Also from his Wikipedia page: Johnson endorsed Senator Barack Obama for the 2008 presidential race. In an email sent to the public on October 27, 2008, Johnson wrote, "...the most important reasons I'm speaking out for Barack Obama are named Robert and Meredith, my two children. My wife Lisa and I talked it over, and honestly, we know in our gut that their future is more secure if Barack Obama is president. At the end of the day, there's just nothing more important than that." Johnson also spoke out about what he described as a lack of "integrity" in the McCain campaign. "I know what it means to run an aggressive race, but I also know what it means to compete with integrity," Johnson wrote. "Have you gotten one of these pre-recorded calls that are flooding our state smearing Barack Obama's character and questioning his patriotism? That's crossing the line, and North Carolinians deserve better."

I don't think these punks would have been succesful in their plot to kill Obama but thankfully they got stopped before their plan to go on a killing spree at a school. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27405681/ WASHINGTON - A plot by two Neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Barack Obama and kill dozens of other African Americans has been foiled, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said Monday. Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., were charged Friday with making threats against a presidential candidate, illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a gun store. In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans that included robbing a gun store and targeting an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school. The two men were arrested in Crockett County, Tenn., and have already made a court appearance. The plot unraveled when one of the men was arrested on other charges and in the course of interviews he revealed plans for the plot. According to the court records, the pair discussed robbing a gun shop in order to gather weapons and ammunition to use in a "killing spree." The defendants allegedly further discussed their killing spree to include targeting a predominately African-American school, and to continue their spree until it culminated with an attempt to assassinate Obama.

Jakee, it is political satire. We don't hate each other we just like making fun of each other

Dear Blue States: Imagine our relief that you've decided to secede and form some sort of bathing-optional commune headquartered in California. The money we'll save in aspirin, now that we won't have headaches from listening to your interminable whining, will be worth it to us alone. We'll finally be rid of you lazy, moping, latte-sucking Streisand fans now that you're actually going to follow through--for once--on your promise to finally get off your butts and leave, as so many of you claimed you would every election cycle and then chickened out of actually doing. (Yeah, we're looking at you, Alec Baldwin.) But not so fast. You don't get to take all the Blue States with you--just the Blue parts. You see, your Blue States aren't actually "blue." Mostly, they're states full of Red counties with pockets of Blue urban blight in them, who vote Democratic in such numbers that if the same results came out of a Third World country which, come to think of it, many of the "Blue" counties pretty much are--we'd think it was fraud and send election observers from the UN. Even California is pretty much a Red State: Bush won 35 out of 58 counties, while Kerry won LA and San Francisco. You want 'em? We won't fight you for them, that's for sure, but you're going to have to found New California without 35 of your most beautiful counties and your second-largest city. Sorry about that. Nationally, Bush won over 2.5 million square miles of U.S. counties (and an extra three and a half million votes, but we won't rub that in.) Kerry won less than 600,000 square miles--meaning that in most states he was popular downtown and pretty much nowhere else. In other words, your guy won the places that people like him would get shot if he walked through them at night. Our guy won every place else. So, the bottom lines is that you don't get the Blue States. Those states have lots of towns and counties that would rather blow their dams and flood themselves out of existence rather than go with you. No, instead, you get the Blue Cities. But we really feel we owe you full disclosure on this exchange. This might come as an unpleasant surprise, but you don't actually get the lower divorce and single-motherhood rates and all that other good stuff you think you're going to snag. Those are the conditions that are actually found out in the Red counties, pardner, not in the Blue cities, and you can't have them. Instead you get the urban single moms, not the soccer moms; the drug addicts, not the doctors; the waiters, not the chefs. You get the fine service you've come to expect from the brutal and corrupt inner-city police departments. You get the abysmal literacy rates and schools that are more dangerous than most prisons. All in all, you get to take with you a public sector in most cities so unmanageable they make Mogadishu seem like a tidily run little municipality by comparison. You get the labor union shakedown artists, "teachers" who can't pass tests in their own subject, and city government leaders for whom graft, racial spoils systems, and outright theft are a way of life. They're all very enthusiastic Blue voters, as you know, and we're sure they'll stampede their way to New California to start draining your wallets, wrecking your schools, and in general making a mess of your lives. (And don't come complaining back to us when socialist central planning does for New California what it did for garden spots like East Berlin and Pyongyang. We're putting a strict visa system into place once you all go.) We, on the other hand, get those Red city suburbs and rural districts. You know, the ones with the good schools, the high property values, the quiet streets and the sheriffs and cops who don't need to walk around armored up like they're about to storm the Sunni Triangle. And don't even think about keeping the National Parks, the wide open spaces, all those water resources, and all the rest of America's natural splendor, since those are all pretty much located in Red counties. Hell, we even get most of Oregon and Washington ...ain't it ironic? You get the urban liberals in Portland and Seattle and their friends in important social organizations (like, say, drug-running street gangs) and we get the rest of the Northwest. Ok by us; we'd be fools not to take you up on it. So here's how it works. All of you Blue whiners, please feel free to look at a map of the electoral results county by county in each state, and take the people with you who've made it clear they'd like to go. That means you get places like downtown Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and we get to keep the rest of beautiful Pennsylvania, thank you. You get to administer bloated public services to the violent, drug-addled, gunslinging populations of delightful inner-city sinkholes of poverty and corruption such as Miami, St. Louis, and the ever-popular District of Columbia--which has been governed by liberals (and the occasional crackhead) for so long and so incompetently that any semblance of order has broken down (beyond the carefully guarded borders of your Georgetown bistros, natch) to the point where even the mayor once asked the President to have the city patrolled by National Guardsmen. Lucky you, it's all yours--enjoy it in good health, and don't forget to wear your Kevlar...Blue "voters" up there in Northeast DC tend to be jumpy on the ol' trigger finger. In fact, all around our great nation, you get to keep all the Blue voters who've made urban war zones like downtown Detroit--a Blue bastion, of course--the proud showplaces they are today. We get the rest of Blue states like Michigan and Wisconsin and Illinois and...well, frankly, just about every state in the Union with the exception of Hawaii and New England--and even there, we'll just hang on to a couple of chunks of New Hampshire and Connecticut. (You're especially more than welcome to Rhode Island, which will immediately set up some sort of money-laundering scheme and bilk the rest of you once it has been incorporated into whatever sort of muddle-headed utopia you're trying to create. The former mayor of Providence should be out of Federal prison in time to join your Politburo and help you get things set up--for a small consulting fee, of course.) We'll miss the Hawaiian beaches, but since long stretches of coastline from New Jersey down to Florida and yes, even in Southern California (including San Diego, thanks) are actually in Red counties, we'll be fine. Sure, we get the rednecks and holy rollers. But since you're apparently willing to trade them for the gangs and psychopaths terrorizing your Blue cities, what can we say? You want the Crips and the Bloods in low riders raking your streets with automatic gunfire, and you're offering us Bubba heading off to church in his pickup? Hey, a deal's a deal. Done. True, you also get Manhattan, but darn the luck, you have to take the rest of the city, including the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn too, as well as Long Island, which is enough to almost make us feel sorry for you all out there in New California. (Almost.) For our part, we'll take most of the rest of gorgeous New York State, although you get the scam artists who infest the legislature in Albany. And since for some unfathomable reason you actually want Elliot Spitzer, we'll buy his plane ticket as a gesture of goodwill. So that's the deal. You get the cities, with all the crime, crack mommies, and corruption you can stand. And sure, you get many of the elite colleges too, with the professors who think that terrorists in Fallujah are freedom fighters and that the people who worked in the Twin Towers on 9/11 were no better than Nazis. We get the suburbs, the countryside, and all the other beautiful places that remain unspoiled by liberal hypocrisy and addle-brained social experimentation. And we'd like a favor, too: please keep your sky-high tax and crime rates, since we're happy to have the corporations and jobs that continue to flee your Blue cities into our Red counties. Much appreciated, since our unemployment rates, to say nothing of our crime, single-parenting, and illiteracy rates, are far lower than yours. Oh, and one last thing. We get the U.S. military, too. Did we mention that part? (You may have forgotten that they're volunteers, and most are happy Red state voters.) Not to worry, though, since we're sure that Islamic fundamentalist terrorists will be more than happy to reach an accommodation with a society that embraces radical feminism, gay marriage, gun control, hostility to organized religion of any kind, and Salman Rushdie. Good luck with that. But one day when some misogynist Saudi freak--who no doubt will sneak into your country by strolling over over the northern border after a few years sucking on the Canadian welfare system you all admire so much--blows up a couple kilos of plutonium on Sunset Boulevard, go send Sean Penn to ask the French for help. We'll be busy that day. Sincerely, Jimmy in the United States of America PS: You can keep the marijuana. You're going to need it, since selling it is one of the last stable industries left in Blue counties.

"Zen ballistic rodent thing"? Pray tell WTF is that? Google was no help: No results found for "zen ballistic rodent thing".

Wait.....I thought Jeb Corliss was the best wingsuit flier!?!?

OK New England birds....it hasn't been a great few weeks due to weather,schedule, and plane issues but get yer ass out to Pepperell by the first load on Saturday and the jump is on me. Weather forecast for Saturday is looking good (puffies!) so get out there and get your flock on. No Lurch....your first load at noon doesn't qualify....

wildcard, using annualcreditreport is exceptionally fast, easy, and safe. You type your info in once and it will take you one at a time to each of the three credit reporting sites. Each site will immediately give you the exact report you would have received if you had gone directly to each site. Each agency will give you the option of printing or saving the file. They may ask you if you want to purchase something else but just click no and you will be onto the next. I used to get these through the mail years ago and I can't believe how much faster and easier it is now. If you want the FICO score you have to pay for it but it is cheap. annualcreditreport (and some of the agencies) will ask you if you want to be reminded next year when you are able to get your report again for free. Very nice. I have never gotten spam or e-mail offers after using this site each year.

Out of curiosity.....why only lane, place, trail, or way? Why not street or road?

Rasta, I found the clip...it is at the very end of the first link and the beginning of the second. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTeXUTZZtSo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTfjODFjcOI

The response letter from the Russian Federation of the U.N. can nbe read here: http://www.un.int/russia/new/MainRoot/docs/press/201008eprel.htm If you click the "letter can be viewed here" link you can read McCain's fundraising letter. I guess this is a database snafu and somehow Vitaly Churkin's name got mixed up in their database....McCain really wasn't trying to break campaign financing laws....was he?
