Most of us probably never thought of it. Now that the subject has been broached though, what's Tiger Woods? ????????????????????? you still lookin? OK- Correct answer: Golf Champion.

Another 5 star TR Ivan! BTW, the stuff just under the purple line looks like it may be loose as well from the picture.

Go get em like you're a pitbull with lipstick that won't take no from those pussys. Once they know you will get what is owed you and not settle for less, they'll pony up the $. We're all wishing you good luck and all the best Pope.

Classic. My boy like the part where they were jizzing off in the food of people who complained about the food.

Now this, my friends, is REAL Change. "Oregon town elects nation's first transgender mayor Story Updated: Nov 8, 2008 at 1:19 PM PST By Associated Press SILVERTON, Ore. (AP) - Plenty of politicians reinvent themselves. But none quite like Mayor-elect Stu Rasmussen. Rasmussen, 60, has been a fixture in Silverton politics for more than 20 years, and had twice before been the mayor of this small city 45 miles south of Portland. Those terms, however, were before the breast implants and before the once-discreet crossdresser started wearing dresses and 3-inch high heels in public. In a week when America loudly chose its first African-American president, Silverton quietly made Rasmussen the country's first openly transgender mayor, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a group that works to help openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people win elected office. Rasmussen displays a picture of his former self. Rasmussen unseated incumbent mayor Ken Hector, with whom he had long clashed — 1,988 votes to 1,512. Because Rasmussen's appearance is no secret, it was policy issues that dominated the campaign. "I've blackmail-proofed myself," said Rasmussen. The story of Rasmussen's election was first reported by JustOut, a bimonthly publication for Portland's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities. "Stu never sought this recognition out," said Stephen Marc Beaudoin, the reporter who broke the story. "He's interested in doing a great job for the community that he loves. The gender identity thing is just a total backseat thing." That comes across when Rasmussen speaks in his decidedly masculine voice. Though he dresses more like Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Rasmussen describes himself with a word assigned to Todd Palin. "I am a dude," he said. "I am a heterosexual male who appears to be a female." His longtime live-in girlfriend, Victoria Sage, told The Oregonian newspaper that she and Rasmussen have been an item for almost 35 years. "I heard a quote, and I don't know who said it but I think it's fabulous, that Silverton is a place where Mennonites and transvestites can get along," she said. The quote rang true when two cowboys came across the new mayor on a downtown sidewalk. "Good job, Stu," one of them said to the man wearing a leather skirt and maroon stockings. "Congratulations, Mr. Mayor," called the other one."

LOL! In the picture!

The DNC in Denver. Hope they all get fired for this: Jackass's. LInk "ACLU says Police staged confrontation amid convention November 7, 2008 DENVER (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union says undercover police officers posing as protesters staged a violent confrontation with another officer during the Democratic convention in Denver. The ACLU said it obtained a police document showing the undercover officers pretended to struggle with a police commander so they could be removed from the crowd without blowing their cover. The ACLU says another officer thought the commander was being attacked and pepper-sprayed the undercover officers. It's not clear how many officers were involved or how they were affected by the spray. Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson told The Associated Press he was unaware of the report and couldn't comment. The ACLU didn't immediately return a message." ________________________________________________________________ one of the comments under the story: " watched with a Denver Post reporter The undercover officers dressed in black t-shirts with head scarfs stood in front of my table before they split up and went to each end of the march. A Denver Post reporter asked me if I thought they were police dressed as protesters. I pointed out that the came from a group of white police vans and that they clearly lifted weights. We watched them attack the riot police and get pepper sprayed. One under cover officer had a black pack with rocks. He threw the rocks at windows down at the mall near Civic park. After the mass arrests the undercover cops returned to my table talked for a few minutes then returned to the white vans. Posted by Keith McHenry at 2:26 pm Nov 07, 2008"

Thanks Bob.

I try to look at the glass half full, but it's difficult on occasion. I would have been a lot more negative in general had McCain been elected I suppose. I'll try to check that stuff. However, since I just posted another negative one about Ted Stevens, sack of shit recently re-elected to the Senate in Alaska....please excuse me as it may not happen for a bit.

Bob, what russians? You need to click the link and read the entire thing, one of your countrymen was an observer. "The observations by the monitors, including a Finnish major, a Belarussian airborne captain and a Polish civilian, have been the subject of two confidential briefings to diplomats in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital, one in August and the other in October. Summaries were shared with The New York Times by people in attendance at both."

Is it me or is the irony of that statement thick here-:-) It's you. Mattp has proven himself a left-wing nut incapable of ever entertaining a POV different from his own, and consistently makes stupid accusations and fallacious attributions to other's with whom he is supposedly discussing an issue. Note the first thing he states in response to my comment. My comment did not attack a CC.com poster personally. His does. It's par for the course from that shithead. Business as usual. Unfortunately his party and it's adherents here on cc.com regularly engages in these tactics. You, OTOH, strike me as a reasonable fellow, a critical thinker, and not really divisive at all. You are actually worth the effort. Mattp can fuck off. I don't think you read the stuff you write then, cause you called Matt a "divisive asshole and a left-wing kool-aid drinker" in your first statement when you say to him "Like you". Then it went downhill. For you, not for Matt who didn't respond with a personal attack to yours. Dude, you should go re-read all that stuff, but especially the things you are saying, after you've cooled off a bit.

Is it me or is the irony of that statement thick here-:-)

oh, what a wisdom! your insight is just fucking amazing. Looks like Fairweather nailed this one 3 months ago. Today's news: hot off the presses, Gulf of Tonkin part 2. Link "TBILISI, Georgia — Newly available accounts by independent military observers of the beginning of the war between Georgia and Russia this summer call into question the longstanding Georgian assertion that it was acting defensively against separatist and Russian aggression. Instead, the accounts suggest that Georgia’s inexperienced military attacked the isolated separatist capital of Tskhinvali on Aug. 7 with indiscriminate artillery and rocket fire, exposing civilians, Russian peacekeepers and unarmed monitors to harm" 3 more pages if you click the link, but that's the drift.

Link What kind of strange bullshit is this? Did this bastard find a way to steal the election?

It seems to me that Pres. Obama needs as much assistance and help as he can get. The budget needs to be submitted by Feb, a scant few weeks after the inauguration. I'm glad Bush is being so generous and helpful to get the guy up to speed with briefings etc etc. He could be locking the door, doing things his way, then blaming Barak when Barak is forced to deal with all the shit which would happen right after he first sits down in the chair. That's my opinion....and you know what they say about opinions:-)

BTW Matt, if McCain had been elected, I know that the name would have been different but my disappointment the same. Obama looked like the better guy then and now.

Well, ,I did post a link and an article. You can choose to read it or not, I wanted to put it out there. I really had rarely heard of the good Rabbi Emanuel so didn't (and don't) know what to expect. I find it disappointing that a guy like Paulson, who was inside the hen house watching this shit go down, is about to be swept out, but in some strange revolving door thing, a guy who looks just like him is coming in. This appears like more of the same shit that got us here to begin with. I really HOPE for CHANGE. But like I said earlier, all of you who have that hope, really have no basis of fact that it is anything other than a "belief" that things would change. To me, this just looks like anther political based appointment with money the underlying basis for the appointment. On the upside, he really sounds smart, and looks like a good guy to have on your side in an argument. I still have hope....

Yup, real change is on the way! No Change same old same old link Well, at least the names of the players are changing, that's real.

Moose Costume joke from the internet: "Two hunters went moose hunting every winter without success. Finally, they came up with a foolproof plan. They got a very authentic female moose costume and learned the mating call of a female moose. The plan was to hide in the costume, lure the bull, then come out of the costume and shoot the bull. They set themselves up on the edge of a clearing, donned their costume and began to give the moose love call. Before long, their call was answered as a bull came crashing out of the forest and into the clearing. When the bull was close enough, the guy in front said, "Okay, lets get out and get him." After a moment that seemed like an eternity as the big Bull Moose approached, the guy in the back shouted, "The zipper is stuck! What are we going to do!?" The guy in the front quietly says, "Well, I'm going to start nibbling grass, but you'd better brace yourself." 8D

That's pretty clever PC! LOL! Thanks! BTW, I suspect that if we give the Bush thing a few years, sometimes distance lessens the intensity of the emotions. I saw it with Carter and Reagan...not with Nixon, still a prick in almost everyone's eyes, maybe more so now for some old die hard repubs as they start to clearly see how low his morals really were.

I'm surprised you see this as a waste of time Bug. _________________________________________________________ So this is what real change looks like then? Ahhhh, it was looking like Bush part 2 or 3 to me. Hire a fox to guard the hen house.

You really don't read others stuff do ya?

That was my experience with Allstate when my whole south side roof blew off and the fence was knocked down by high winds. They had it fixed fast. Pope, if you really feel you are in the right (and I bet you are), tell them you find they're rejection of your claim unacceptable and if they don't revise their opinion you will consult and attorney and make it a court case: and also call the insurance commissioners office. Don't give up buddy. Good luck ps, when I started buying guns, thought I'd better get a dehumidifier. I was surprised that it pulled 4 gallons of water out of the air in the first 3 days. Something to consider.

Yeah....he keeps doing that.... thats what makes him amazing. he is smarter that the entire GOP put together. Sure thing guys. Dude was a director of Freddy Mac. If he was so Damn smart, why'd he screw this one up? Link excerpts: "Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal New Obama Chief of Staff, Others on Board, Missed "Red Flags" of Alleged Fraud Scheme By BRIAN ROSS and RHONDA SCHWARTZ November 7, 2008 President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com. The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic meltdown. The federal government this year was forced to take over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds. The entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention". During the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, according to the SEC, Freddie Mac substantially misrepresented its income to "present investors with the image of a company that would continue to generate predictable and growing earnings." Sounds like the Fox is back in the henhouse. Amazing guy you say?

Although I was incorrect on my assessment earlier this year that the US would force Iran's hand on the nuclear issue by October...nothing of substance has yet changed with that situation that I'm aware of. Interesting choice of Chief of staff with that backdrop, no?
