I'm on a Mexican radio. I'm on a Mexican wo-oo radio...

http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Business/ap20031030_2396.html I wonder if Democrats and assorted Bush-haters still want to use that "Bush economy" label they're so fond of? No doubt j_b will now chime in to remind us that the glass is still half empty.

...So that's like, what, $75 US?

Just remember, there are states here in the USA that issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Posession of a valid drivers license is not proof of American citizenship. This might be why there is a crackdown up north. For the record; all of my encounters with Canadian border guards have been good. They did question my kids once, but kept them in my sight and were outgoing and cordial. I got a speeding ticket in 1992 while driving 90mph in Yukon Terrirory. It was over $300 Canadian. Upon my return home, I decided to ignore the fine. All was well... Almost 5 years later, I received a letter from the RCMP offering me a one time opportunity to "pay up", no interest, late fees, or additional penalties! The letter stated that I would be denied future access to Canada if I failed to do so. So I paid up. I thought it was cool that they sent me such a cordial letter and weren't total pricks. Better treatment than I would have received from most US local police depts. It was about $200+ USD.

I sleep better at night knowing we have them. ...and NO, Canada does not posses nuclear weapons. I believe they enjoy a nuclear umbrella provided them by The United States, Britan, and France(?).

Maybe it was that NRA Life Member bumper sticker on your car?

Shit, I didn't look at the dates of Dwayner's post. He's still gone. Re-enstate Dwayner NOW!

Welcome back Dwayner! Was your release unconditional, or are you still on probation? (Hopefully, the former!)

How about this..... Friday, October 24, 2003 What's a good teacher really worth? How about $100,000 a year? Click to learn more... Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (search), a Republican, wants to create a new educational job titled, "super teacher" for educators interested in making $100,000 in salary and bonuses -- but there's a catch. Teachers would have to give up certain union protections like tenure (search) and job security. "They're willing to waive tenure and seniority rights," said Pawlenty. "So we can hire who we want, fire who we want and assign them when we want and how we want to assign them." The "super teacher" bonuses would kick in when students improved their scores on standardized tests. Pawlenty is proposing that these "super teachers" replace the entire teaching staff at selected schools where students are under-achieving. And teachers have expressed a willingness to work with the governor on new possibilities for revamping the education system. "We have said to him and we have said to the people, that we are willing to talk about alternative kinds of compensation models," said Judy Schaubach, president of Education Minnesota (search).

Shit! That skit was the funniest in Saturday Night Live history! Christopher Walken is the master of comedy.

I'm afraid to click on j_b's links. You never know where you might end up.....and who might be out there takin' names. PP's and Trask's links are OK, and I would be proud to have my cookies associated with them.

In addition to introducing my son to climbing, my brother and I also managed to get our dad up The Chilkoot Trail. He hadn't hiked in 40 years! We had planned this trip for some time when, out of the blue, dad announced that he was coming along too! He pretty much kicked ass. No blisters or complaints. Sorry about another boring picture, but I really love this thread! That's dad and I just a few hundred yards south of the pass....1996. ps: Don't say anything about the mountie attire. I am not, nor have I ever been a mountie.

I support the freedom of the individual to choose the media and entertainment that he/she likes, regardless of whether or not I perceive it to be socially unredeeming. (Child pornography, etc excluded!) I believe this freedom is not for citizens of this nation alone. Why are "liberals" here so concerned with the (read) conservative idea of cultural preservation elsewhere?

True, that.

Ehmmic, Face it, they don't want you. Your mind is too old and contaminated by the ideals of this free market society. (Not to mention Rush!) They want a young mind that requires only a moderate amount of scrubbing. An individual which they can mold into a rabid liberal PC animal. Can't you read the writing on the wall? Must you make them say it?

It's kinda like a phonograph, only more newfangeled.

My son and I on "Donohoe Peak" in the Wrangell Mountains a few years ago. (That's Blackburn in the distance.) He's 14 now, and goes on a few trips with me each year. For me, these trips are the pinnacle of my mountain life.

Enslave the Heel! Tele sucks!

She has been a big surprise to me as well, Peter. Certainly she is more in tune with the issues than Ms. Murray. Who knows, Cantwell might turn out to be another Scoop Jackson!

Fairweather, why don't you save yourself time (and us reading) and just start posting a right wing babble form letter. I know, Josh. That was probably a lot of reading for a guy like you. I'll try to keep your reading assignments to more manageable levels in the future.

Good post PP! Liberals and leftists: Wrong about the Red Scare. Wrong about pre WWII isolationism. Wrong about Cold War pacifism. Wrong about the communist threat in Latin America. Wrong about Cuba policy. Wrong about unilateral nuclear disarmament. Wrong about the B1 and B2 bombers. Wrong about the 600 ship navy. Wrong about Reagan. Wrong about the "Great Society". ....When will they finally get it?

Sorry Ehmmic, The misspelling was unintentional. Seriously. As for the personal attack, how do you figure?
