  2. Rumor has it that Obama has offered Monica a staff position as Head Intern. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
  3. Forget polypew. Real men love their wool. baa baa baa baa Icebreaker
  4. Which explains why Bush was elected in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. When political machines spend 100's of millions of dollars on propaganda appealing to fear, the outcome of voting is sure to be skewed. So people like you voted for Bush because of TV ads? Didn't Obama outspend McCain 5:1 in the last month of the last election?

  20. You're correct. A 'clean' ascent requires the fixed copperheads. They are part of the route just as the bolt ladders are. But hammering additional pitons is not necessary to climb the route. There have been a number of such ascents since the cleanup. I was shocked the first time I climbed in Yosemite and saw the size of the pin scars. My personal ethic is to avoid adding to that damage whenever possible.
  21. Please don't nail Zodiac. It's not necessary. Bring the right gear and it goes clean. Sawed off angles and hybrid aliens work great in many places. Ballnuts, cam hooks, and hand placed beaks work in the thin spots.
