Blix has told Iraq they need to destroy those missles. If they don't, you know that's gotta help Bush's case in world opinion. If they do, they lower even more their ability to inflict some damage on an invader. What do you do, if you're Sadam? This situation seems similar to one where some thug holding you at gunpoint tells you to hold still while he ties you up. You're already pretty f*cked but complying with this demand even makes you more vulnerable. Tough call.

Awww Iain, c'mon, you're starting to sound like the 'goat. Just clam up before I you!

You guys should check out the Frontline link that GregM posted above. There are bigger fish to fry than Hussein.

KEXP rocks though! for those with a fast connection Especially the streaming archive thingy. You can listen to their broadcast at any time in the last two weeks. You don't like what they're playing now? Just listen to the show 3 days or 3 hours ago! Another note: I wonder why they didn't use call letters KEMP? It doesn't appeared to be taken. Must be the Shawn factor

TRASK FOR PRESIDENT!!!! (just think of the nookie possibilites )

Just balance your monitor very carefully on top of some empty beer bottles. When the cat tries to climb up there, the whole setup will go crashing to the floor. That'll solve the problem one way or another.

I think you can do that at music stores. The instruments will actually be in tune and it don't cost 20 smackers.

Klar correct! Yes climbed the chimney, that's me there, greenhelmetdude. I know what you're talking about left of it. We did that one by accident the first time I was there.

OK, here's one, both pics are from the same pitch.

Science Center is pretty good, but I'm not sure how much fun an 11year old would have (maybe too old?). Might be cool if you go for the IMAX show too. Never been to EMP. It's very pricey! Aquarium is good. Right near Pike Place Mkt too. But shit Toast!!! Why aren't you just heading down to the rock gym??? I'd think an 11 year old would be the perfect strength to weight ratio. She'll probably make you look bad . Rock gym all the way.

but the song (at least the LIVE PCPPEP version) ROCKS ( )

What about the obvious one? Released from jail. CC.com blocked on computer at the sexual offender halfway house.

As promised. Another climbing chart:

Your buddy Pope knows 'em.

Here's one on my current list. On that wall right there, climb the right side using just the edge (and texture of course), no rocks. I've made it past the first crack. I'd like to try going all the way to the apex.

But everybody LOVES all the crap I spew!! (We do not need a vote on that! )

So what's the problem?

Why? Noone asked. Look man, it's clear that people don't like wading through your voluminous BS. Why make it harder on yourself (and us) by throwing in tangential musings? Semantics mean almost nothing when the person who quibbles over them refuses to even include text containing the context. Cherry picking is fun for spray and jokes, but there's really not that much point in it when attempting a serious discussion Sorry MG, that's what I said in the post before last. The one I wrote to clarify after you played semantics cherry picker. The more recent post read "Bush's statements are to the effect that he finds domestic and world opinion valueless. " Dude, work on the editing. Once again, I am confused by what your point is. Care to type it out a third time, perhaps in CAPS. Funny I was under the impression that attacking Iraq would strengthen Saudi Arabia and Iran. Oh , you mean like North Korea? Yeh, those negotiations are going really well. Noone said they invalidated anything. Well, you say that demonstrations are not valid public input. Demonstrations of this scope, make it clear that there are many people from all walks of life in the US who are opposed to unilateral US war on Iraq. We will have to disagree on this. I think paying attention to how the wind is blowing is a smart thing to do. It is obvious, from your history in these discussions, that openness to alternative viewpoints is not something you value highly. Your support for our current course of disregard for world opinion is not surprising. Whatever . First the obvious potshot about the validity of the votes that put Bush there in the first place. Then, I don't think the fact that votes are valid public input invalidates other methods of informing the government as to your preferences.

I was explaining why the terrorists are so scary. I don't know what you're reply has to do with that. Semantic BS. Bush's statements are to the effect that he finds domestic and world opinion valueless. Once again, I am confused by what your point is. Perhaps this has something to do with another discussion we participated in a long time ago? Maybe you should include footnotes. Once again, baffled by your comments, but you seem to be under the impression that somehow attacking Iraq will weaken Al Queda. If one believes that, then I think attacking Iraq would be consistent with our current actions; however, I don't find this assumption to square with reality. Is it inconceivable that perhaps views have changed on this topic since November? Is it inconceivable that many people may have voted Republican in November yet did not favor the US unilaterally invading Iraq? I think Bush could have done better in his response to what I thought was an overwhelming display by the entire world. His attempt to villify those who would view this dramatic display as valid public input by using the negative buzzword "focus groups" was lame.

catbirdseat = TheLawGoddess Blue Moon huh?

Maybe he's mad since you made him ride in the bed of the truck?

Trask = Daniel Schorr !! What's with all the lefty antigovernment stuff lately Traksy old boy? I've also noticed the massive amount of self-deleted posts? Are you having a terrible internal struggle?

Where does rappelling fit in there Wayne . Another good climbing presentation is currently on the side of boxes of Mickey Mouse Xtreme Coolers. Tells you what carabiners, Elvis leg, and jumars are. Pretty instructive picture of Mickey belaying (with helmet) too. I'll scan it when I get home, and post it. Maybe.
