My "part 24" title simply mocks the fact that this subject has come up here many, many times before. Nothing more, Mr knee-jerk administrator.

UCLA Study

"The White House" = Bush. You would have sent Rove to prison for a crime he did not commit. The world as you see it, I guess.

Dodge and Weave? Really, Matt, the real issue here is not whether the White House tried to manipulate intelligence - no doubt they did. The point of the thread, as I read it, is your past - somewhat hysterical - conviction of Rove, even despite a grand jury's reluctance to go forward. You were so blinded by your politics that you assumed a lot. Turns out you and others here would have had an innocent man 'led out of the white house in handcuffs' and sent to prison. This is especially shocking given your law background and your oft-stated belief in due process.

I like the alternative-fuels initiative, but in the case of battery/electrics: Most of the 'lectricity will come from here and the lead/cadmium/lithiumin the batteries will end up here and here

Matt, given your past hysterics regarding the Plame/Wilson affair and your penchant for Rove conspiracy, I would expect a little more contrition. Those three words you heretofore seem incapable of uttering... I - was - wrong. But I won't hold my breath. You spin just as well as anyone in the administration. Carl Rove.

Somewhat redundant, the above. Hypocritical? I think I'm pretty consistent. Bend over. You can bite down on a stack of your latest legal briefs.

Went up to do Overcoat in June in my brother's Subaru Outback wagon. No bottom-out's, but it takes a full hour to drive from Dingford to the Dutch Miller trailhead. (about 7mi ?) Longer coming back down. Note that this last portion of the road will be permanently closed by the USFS at the end of this summer.

Bush is a moron - with a BA from Yale and a MBA from Harvard. The real question is how someone who can't produce a complete sentence received these degrees. The answer: Education Inc. The same system that handed out most of the degrees here.

Fair 'nuff. I read it differently.

The old GW dodge. Brilliant, Iain and Whidbey!

The way he completed his post: "Thanks.... for listening and just be more aware" - seems to direct the lecture at more than just a few 'Mountaineers', don't you think?

You're not fooling me! That's no glacier and that ain't St.Helens. That's some kind of artsy photograph of cracked mud and hoar frost. I like the way you photo-shopped "USGS" on there for added authenticity. You're not serious, are you?

But he didn't 'catch up' with the guilty slobs. He chose to post his lecture here. I (and, I'm sure, you too) pick up shit on almost every freakin' trip I do - from soiled underwear and half-buried socks to deflated mylar balloons - and I don't post a notice here shaking my index finger at any-and-all. Yes. The whole holier-than-thou lecture thing seems to go hand-in-hand with the mindset more often than not.

You sound like yet another condescending environmentalist with unacceptable manners and lagging intellect. Pick up the shit and STFU.

Where is "Camp Harris/Murkwood Camp"? Never heard of it. Did you find any soiled blue Patagonia midweight bottoms tangled up with urine-soaked kaki shorts?

While the current trend is sad, take solice in the fact that we are just here for the blink of an eye. The glaciers will return - and shrink yet again. Of course the current global warming trend is real, but despite efforts to convince me/public, I remain wholly unconvinced that we're looking at anything more than mostly natural cycles-within-cycles. The glacier above took a mere 20 years to form up in St Helens' crater, and while not a typical case it does demonstrate how quickly a glacier can reconstitute or form given the proper conditions. Not 'centuries' as we were taught in school, but decades.

Laid to rest? Won't the last human just die and rot where he or she fell?

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT? Well, the problem there is that he doesn't have a .357 in his hand. That's a .45; but it'll work. More specifically, a .45 Long Colt - but possibly an old .32/20 or .44/40. That lever gun is most likely a .30-.30, but could be a .45/70...or .45 LC. ...But then I'm no expert. A sub-sonic .22long will keep the neighbors sleeping soundly while little Bandit is sent to that big Alpo-feast in the sky. BTW: have you ever seen what one of those vicious stripe-ed varmits can do to a hard-boiled egg?

I did too. But if I understand the current mantra correctly; "no one died when Clinton lied". Right? Except a few thousand Serbs ...and a janitor in Sudan. But we digress here - the real issue is Crux' political obsession. The poor guy hasn't posted a TR all summer and confesses above that he views even the most benign thread title with blinders on.

You didn't seem upset enough to protest over things like this a few years back: But I guess only your political anger requires redress?

Because the nexus of anger in which you reside does not allow you to see the world as anything but political.
