Once I was interviewing with a small CPA firm and after a friendly chat I was being shown around the office and asked if I found pornography offensive. I said “no not really” and was told good because “one of our largest clients” was a producer of pornography. This was before the age of video and the internet. We walked a few doors down and he opened a door showing me a room full of porno mags! A couple days later there was a message on my answering machine. I never responded.

You wimps why not ask the "resistance" directly! Avoid the middle-man. The Baath party Line.

Bah! OW you should know everything is weak before the awesome power of the Integratron!

J_B and Jim have their opportunity.... link

It was pretty damp - you have to pick the right places to climb

Left Seattle: rain. Arrive Index: no rain. Back to Seattle: rain.

We're goin' be neighbors

Here is an interesting chart: 1960 census (1964, 68 elections) -- Kerry 270, Bush 268 1970 census (1972, 76, 80 elections) -- Kerry 270, Bush 268 1980 census (1984, 88 elections) -- Bush 276, Kerry 262 1990 census (1992, 96, 2000 elections) -- Bush 279, Kerry 259 2000 census (2004, 08 elections) -- Bush 286, Kerry 252 link

Ok J_B I have had enough of your BS. I never heard you complain once when Jello Biafra sang: "God told me to skin you alive!"

1) Why hasn't anyone mentioned that really good V5/6 at Sehome Hill - it rocks! 2) The V5 arete problem at Zekes Wall 3) The Wild Problem on the Zekes Boulder 4) The Prow (Original Route) 5) That hard problem on the Sword

Marie! Were you adopted? We could be twins!

Link Quote 1 .....A member of the Harvard Law School admissions committee recalled that the real reason Mr. Kerry was not admitted was because the committee was concerned that because Mr. Kerry had received a less than honorable discharge they were not sure he could be admitted to any state bar. Quote 2 All officials with knowledge of what specifically happened in Mr. Kerry's case are muzzled by the Privacy Act of 1974.The act makes it a crime for federal employees to knowingly disclose personal information or records. Only Mr. Kerry can do that. As of this writing, Mr. Kerry has failed to sign a Standard Form 180 giving the electorate and the press access to his Navy files. Quote 3 In the Foreign Surveillance Act of 1977, legislation introduced by Mr. Kennedy to enforce the findings of the Church Committee, there is language that literally describes the behavior of Mr. Kerry. The defined behavior that could no longer be subject to surveillance without warrants includes: "Americans having contact with foreign powers in the case of Americans who were active in the protest against U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Some of them may have attended international conferences at which there were representatives of foreign powers, as defined in the bill, or may have been directly in communication with foreign governments concerning this issue." Gotta love that Teddy!

here you go J_B - read this

do you expect anyone to believe this? come on, apart from a few social issues, you have supported bush in everything he has done. as if picking the sole issue of wot to hang your hat onto should legitimize the "strong leader" bs, whereas, in fact, if there is someone not fit to handle questions of national security it is certainly the bungler. as if the level of debate was any better when your hero, reagan, displayed his acting "talent" in the whitehouse. are you trying to conveniently bundle kerry with bush because you know you have no chance of convincing any thinking person of bush's intellectual fitness for the job? your not-so-subbtle attempts at encouraging 3rd party voting are duly noted. As usual J_B you rants seem as logical as one of Larouches serious speeches. The third parties are basically wannabes and assorted nuts. My problem with the two main parties is that they have chosen a policy of "detente" - think Nixon and Carter. I prefer Ronnie and his "tell it like it is," believe in your policies and press for them style. (eg "evil empire" "tear down that wall") Long Live the Revolution!

good read

LOL : As far as Bush I am a one issue supporter: WOT. I think that our choices are pathetic and have been for some time. The state of political debate is so poor right now that it is truly amazing - my take is that these guys are chosen specifically to keep the debate at a low level.

whoops.... yet another beautiful quote from a bush supporter in denial. So, who exactly is being manipulated? Believe everything you read on fox? You typically seem smarter than that. Just think - only three days until our unelected moron-in-chief is shipped back to dumb-ass redneckville, and we can wake up from this four-year nightmare. The champagne is on ice. Upon reading my post again I realize that I was only half correct..Kerry on some level is being manipulated but he is also aware and quite probably grateful for the help. Here is more help he is getting: [T]he Zogby poll published in the Rapid City Journal ... showed Republican Thune leading Daschle, 48.5 percent to 45.5 percent, just within the margin of error. At first, however, the poll had shown an even larger Thune lead, which seemed so improbable that the pollsters adjusted their voter turnout estimates and arrived at the narrower gap. link Zogby's carefully consistent and thought-through polling procedures turn out a result that's just "too improbable" for his tastes so he adjusts his numbers..... Despite the overwhelming bias of the MSM, Zogby and others the soon to be Bush win will indicate the true weakness of the left. A weakness that the left will have to deny. This denial will manifest itself as various claims of voter fraud.

..did anyone else think of the Tholians when they see the latest Bin Laden picture?

Hmm sounds like the same "will to believe" grousing that occurred when CBS revealed those darn forged documents!

SC – That’s probably the first political thing you’ve written that I wholeheartedly agree with. The fact that we are stuck with this choice at this time is truly sad.

Sure kerry jumps on the lost explosives bandwagon and slams Bush using a foreign source obviously trying to influence the election. But as the story unfolds any rational person will see the real story is kerry's ability to be manipulated. Developing Story More detailed analysis

Well you ran right over to the Ascentionist and posted about my claim. By the way if I was going to "hike" into a climb I would stop at Dragontail and do one of those ultra groovy cracks near Asgard Pass.

Ok I'll admit it. The only route I've done on PP is the West Ridge. Which by the way is only so-so. I just wanted to see what anyone would say if someone claimed it. I guess the answer is not much. I don't understand how you guys can get so worked over something you know so little about.
