Or perhaps it's that you're not listening? If it's not on Fox News, it just ain't news.

I though that's what the little pimp was for.

So Rob, you like them dumb and drunk, eh?

I have AT&T GSM, and I find it barely works in metro Portland, never mind anywhere remote.

Where are you located?

Who pissed in your Cheerios?

Ingalls S Ridge Saturday *, much of it in a cloud. Fun, easy route. Back up to the Elliot Sunday, North side is looking fine. Unfortunately more driving than climbing * If you were on Ingalls climbing some unamed dome below (E) of the Ingalls N/S saddle Saturday, drop me a PM, I have a couple of kick-ass pictures of you on the summit with the Ingalls Lake basin below.

We have a governor?

Bah, whatever, I don't listen to what rock stars have to say.

Sorry man!

So sad that things have to hit so close to home to elicit any empathy from those fukwads.

Say 4:30, Thurman gate, about 9 miles? Flexible.

Trail running Allow me to piggyback your thread, any of you PDX turkeys want to run in F Park this afternoon?

I was commenting on 'adrift and without momentum'. What did I post that was off topic?

Some historical precedents? - The average winning incumbent has had a job approval rating of 60%. Indeed, every incumbent who has won reelection has had his job approval in the mid-50's or higher at this point. In recent polling, Bush's average approval rating has been 48%. President Bush must emerge from his convention having dramatically altered public perception of his performance in office. - In recent years, when incumbents have gone on to victory, 52% of voters, on average, said the country was on the right track. Now, just 37% think things are moving in the right direction. Thus, President Bush must convince the electorate that the nation is in much better shape than voters now believe to be the case. - Every incumbent who has gone on to be reelected has had a double-digit lead at this point. - Following their conventions, the average elected incumbent has held a 16-point lead, while winning incumbents have led by an average of 27 points. Bush will need a very substantial bounce to reach the mark set by his successful predecessors. - Incumbents have enjoyed an average bounce in the vote margin of 8 points. - On average, incumbents' share of the two-party vote has declined by 4 points between their convention and Election Day. 'Adrift and without momentum'? Either way Bush is going down.

Meanwhile, the latest Zogby poll by WSJ has Kerry ahead in 14 of 16 battelground states.

What are you saying, that when the bush repeats lies over and over that the ever intelligent people of this country fall for them? Good analysis!

All I know is the last time I climbed near Seattle I listened to semi-automatic gunfire all day.

MoveOn had a pretty vicious attack on Bush's record that they were going to air in battleground states, but Kerry asked them not to. I think you can still see it at their website. I guess asking them not to air the ad is surely political too, though I do like the higher ground.

Awww yeah. Going fast on skinny tires is quite a rush. There was a hill back east in NH perfect for this - super steep, almost straight, good visibility and runout. I could consistantly break 60. Scary! Just watch out, some bikes can develop some pretty severe shimmies at certain high speeds.

And Bobby Julich Bronze in the TT! And pretty neat that Ekimov took the silver at age 38!

A ha ha ha sounds like a certain website I know....
