Ditto!!!

Change out those glasses and helmet on your avatar pic and I expect that wonderful things will happen. LOL! Kidding, didn't you have a medical thing happening? How old are you anyway, cause I've been feeling particularly old this summer after ripping the tendons in my shoulder and the arthritis in my fingers is so bad I can't knock on a f*ing door...but I'm only 55....or so.

My son recently let me know that he got a job for the weekend and is bailing on me. I have till @ 4 sat and all day Sunday and Monday. Beacon. beacon beacon? Maybe an easy lap. I'm old and hurt. Beacon is the only place I want to climb unless you want to head for the hinterlands to go look at something unclimbed.

OK, sorry - ..well, I don't know Josh, it's nice to know that he probably doesn't look like this. or Hard to see a yamaka in the words.

What's this stunning bit of info? You have a job? Shit, who knew?

The cheap bastards never pay for gas either. Thank Allah the Jews have such a stand up guy like fairweather to defend them from the attacks of you leftist jew loathing freedom haters! P.S. Rumor has it a Jew was climbing "heart of gold" in Leavenworth today, likely looking for spare change. If either of you think think any of this bullshit if funny I got newz for you. It's not. It's whatever the opposite of funny is.

Off hand, I would suggest this is the legal equivalent of Larry, Curly and Moe! If I'm wrong, and you go to jail for my advice, please let me know and I'll bring you cookies.

Think of it as Obama just doubling down. Who hasn't ever gotten drunk at a casino and done this very thing?...... Come on....show of hands.......see! Everyone! Not to worry FW, tomorrow, dude wakes up hungover, maybe a little vomit on his chin, headache, feeling like a herd of Buff has run through his mouth and shit on his tongue....but then he puts on a new leaf on life and realizes that all that spending is tossing the country down a hell hole we won't be able to claw our way back out of in his kids life time. He turns fiscally conservative, trims the federal expenditure by firing JB and his tax and spend ilk, we get a slight tax increase but folks who really are in deep need still have it coming to them, but he tells the Chinese to piss off we won't keep borrowing. See, there's' still hope! Certainly the President is sharp enough to figure this out! That's why we wanted the smart one in there. (no sarcasm here, really) Relax.

I suspect that once they sit down after the fact - do the math and divide what we spent into what we got, they'll realize that we f*ing overpaid X3 the going rate. In the end, we got off lucky in terms of American lives, not so much Iraqi life's. If one thinks regime change was a goal, a single Tomahawk missile to a Hussein family reunion would have been significantly more cost effective and the end game would have been very similar with much less innocent life and American treasure and world goodwill wasted. We could have sat back, let the international community work on them, and had the manpower, money and hardware to deal with the real threat just next door, a nuclear armed Iran. What was our opportunity cost? Hard to calculate. Fortunately, jb has his oil to refuel his SUV now. Little pricey though.

I still want my camel ride. I'm entitled:-) It's in the constitution.

I see 2006, we funded Egypt $1,795,000,000 while Israel got slightly more at $2,520,000,000. Jordon less. Egypt gets less due to military funding being less than Israel. Strange as they have so little oil? For all that I know of no one who even got so much as a Camel ride or a thank you note. Worth a look, it's your money. http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/politics/us-foreign-aid.htm

Palestinians vs Israelis are not the main event for US policy makers IMO. The main event is that according to some in the US - Muslims are living over there right on top of our oil wells and crimping our unquenchable thirst for same. When a billion car-driving Chinese with near empty gas tanks come winging down the road head on towards our 300 million large SUV drivers (numbers approximated) - it's going to be quite the spectacle when they crash.....probably appropo that it would be in the middle east I suppose. Certainly getting a few straws in the ground, even if you are selling some of it to the Chinese as it is a world market, is the goal.

Probably too far from Corvallis to be considered close, this is 60 miles generally SE of PDX. This one is in the process of becoming public though, and it's not an "uber" secret, "top' secret, or even secret "ENTNAC" crag anymore. You can carpool out with Corvallisclimber, Tyler has the skinny. I head that Climbmax is paying to make copies but giving them away. That wasn't mine or anyone elses intention to bankrupt them. Folks might consider donating some $ when they pick up a copy. Hopefully we start seeing trip reports with some nice pictures soon. Anyhow, there's a much better one much closer to Corvallis, amazing looking rock - but I'm sworn to secrecy. Sorry.

Are you suggesting that he's a baseless whining and lie spewing, hypocritical neanderthal stooge goon squad fascist thug drivel spewer corporate shill sleazy scapegoating regressive retarded dimwit racist fuck POS quasi-monosyllabic idiot jackass? Or just that he might not love our country cause he's a foreigner?

My lord, I think I might have already been old in 1980!

GASP!!!! Explain how sharp, intelligent and insightful Fareed is. Maybe give him some links or some Fareed writing. I love reading his stuff, bet grandpa would as well. http://www.fareedzakaria.com/home/Home.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fareed_Zakaria ..and perhaps if you need to, remind him that he should be grateful this President is so literate and well read, and remind him that the last President only looked at the pictures. I'd start with that.

A highly respected "Old Master" not under the dirt yet cranking @300' up the vertical dirt on "Dirtnap". (Real name Gingerbread Shortcut) Most memorable line "Oh joy, we can kick steps! Woot!" Gear notes: ice axe, pickets, tie offs for vine maples.

so you going to the show? Of course he'll be there, Rob wouldn't miss it for the world, he'll be the one wearing the $60 shirt, drinking $6 and bitching about how things were different way back when in 1980 he graduated from HS and rock had achieved perfection:-) LOL!

ROTFLMAO Rob! My lord that's so funny, I'm glad I wasn't drinking something cause I would have sprayed the monitor!

Lucky, I've heard that those guys are doing new routes there but were wanting to keep it off the radar. Have you been over to Tower Rock too?

Great idea. I'd start by contacting Leonard Coyne. He was starting to put together a place in Thailand a back in 2003. lcoyne11 at hotmail dotcom

And some people complain that Obama's "too black"... I frequently hear that he's just like the last President. of course, it could be that the bicycles are different brands.

SOMEWUNZ WENT GREEN !!!!MOAR GREEN JOBZ! They should be supportive in a George Soros kind of way? Big money every which direction. Anyway, you can relax, there's a lot less whining since the Kochs got their tax rates down.
