After more than 30 years, I have concluded that they are THE SAME FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!!

Interesting, the way you subverted the English language to refer to a candidate of color. Maybe you have personal racial issues of which you are unaware?

Manning's comment poorly represent enviros. A "trail promoter" doesn't mean that someone is not an environmentalist. Claiming the title of "environmentalist" while casting aside everyone else who feels and believes differently about access and the environment is short sided and counterproductive. I don't buy the argument that reopening the road (even if they have to rebuild it up on the hillside) will REALLY destroy or adversely affect the valley, river, trees, habitat, etc permanently. They built the road before and things OBVIOUSLY turned out fine with regard to habitat, vegetation, and wildlife. SO I'm pretty darn sure that it can be done again. And in 30-50-100 years, everyone will be thankful that they had the access... except for maybe a few exclusionary "enviros" like johndavidjr and Manning. I can't imagine someone throwing away a fifty year friendship-- and all those years of family mountain adventures--like Harvey Manning did. How sad. Manning became the epitome of radicalized bitterness. Ira Spring's legacy will remain great for centuries to come. When I sit outside my tent on a late chill evening, and hear the wind blow through a grove of alpine fir, I think of his stories and pictures and how they inspired me in my life--I can almost hear his soul--still alive and well on a warm flower-strewn meadow summer afternoon only a moment ago.

Gotta go with the Tvashbag on this one...and SOHO, Chandra, and a couple others, IMO, have opened up our horizons to an even greater degree than the planetary probes mentioned. I'd say NASA and JPL have done well. I am curious about that Lunar He3 though.

It's not hard to believe there are still dumb shits like you out there...

He has upheld his oath. Glassgowkiss has not. Stay on topic, Consumedbybushhate.

Oh Really? I realize that in practice there aren't any issues, but you did take an oath... § 1448. Oath of renunciation and allegiance (a) Public ceremony A person who has applied for naturalization shall, in order to be and before being admitted to citizenship, take in a public ceremony before the Attorney General or a court with jurisdiction under section 1421 (b) of this title an oath (1) to support the Constitution of the United States; (2) to renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen; (3) to support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (4) to bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and (5) (A) to bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law, or (B) to perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law, or... http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1448.html

Fuck off, shitbag. Bob doesn't need a 130lb weakling to stick up for him.

For one who now claims American citizenship, there seems to be a whole lot of "we" in your statement vis a vis Poland. Who, exactly, are "we" GGK?

Karl Rove is back? I had no idea.

It seems that the greatest Americans always pass on the 4th of July, and he is no exception. A great man who stood up against compromise in the face of communism. Well done.

As is his spelling.

I believe Che oversaw his share of executions post-Batista. What goes around...

This is why the tilt steering wheel was invented.

I guess I just assumed you took the bus!

Actually, last month's emphasis patrols included police in "civilian" clothes at intersections looking into cars and radioing ahead when they spotted violators. I kid you not. http://www.wtsc.wa.gov/pie/releases/ntsbe2.php This May, the patrols will be conducted in the same manner as before, involving both an observational officer and patrol vehicles. When an unbuckled motorist is spotted, the observing officer radios ahead to the patrol vehicle to make the stop.

I thought he was going to cut bait the day after his inauguration.

I wear a seatbelt, but cops are spending an inordinate amount of time setting up night time "stings" trying to apprehend violators when there are clearly better things to do. Smells like "revenue" to me. BTW: I get annoyed when I hear the "we all pay for it if you don't..." argument. That little gem can be used by the state to employ almost any kind of tyranny they please.

I did. "Shrugging Icon" = Atlas Shrugged? I think you don't get that I got it but I might not be getting the rhetorical meaning in your got it.

Thanks. Good comments. Have a happy Talkeetna 4th! Is the season about wrapped up?

:shrugging icon: oh shit, mod power abused, I hit the edit button by accident when I meant to reply must be the end of the day -- ow

Too busy solving seatbelt crime, apprehending helmetless bicycle riders, and chasing down cell phone users, I suspect.
