The reason I don't like absentee voting is that it makes the election a strung out affair. The people who cast their votes on election day (or mail their absentee ballots on that day) have up to date information with which to make their decision. In this case, I don't think any new information has been revealed, but it does sometimes happen. Nice backpedal: A combination of cheap logic and unveiled pining for instant gratification. How is it backpedalling? I said what I don't like and then I explained the reason why. The other thing I don't like about absentee ballots has already been voiced: they represent a great opportunity for fraud to occur. Another thing I don't like about them is that conservatives are very fond of them. They can sit in front of Fox News on the TV and have Bill O'Reilly guide them through the voting process, so they don't have to actually think for themselves.

This also could lead to a cure for your girlfriend's Popsicle Toes.

Dru, that is uncool to post pics like that without warning. Definitely not work safe.

I can't believe no one has brought up the subject of Dog-Bone draws yet.

If you are gonna call B.S. on my article you are gonna have to back that one up cheif. Here you go, sport.

I think that absentee voting sucks. It ought to be outlawed. You either get your fat ass to the polls or you don't vote.

Regardless, intelligence, or lack thereof, is not Bush's defining characteristic. Rather, it is his lack of interest in using his mind. He doesn't care for analysis. He doesn't have the discipline to spend the time to become familiar with all aspects of an issue before he makes up his mind. He either goes with his "gut" instinct, or he takes the advice of his cabinet.

Yes, indeed, Bush is asleep at the wheel.

You have to admit that the Administration has been very good to Osama. It must be easier than ever for him to recruit more jihad warriors.

As it says in the BD blurb, you can always rotate the top biner.

Don't bother replying any of you. I think she wants a baby with an IQ higher than 80.

This thread is just precious! Hint, Dru.

I want you all to go out and buy one of these and report back on it. I know you want to. Then, if you like it, tell us all about it and I'll buy one. Oh, and by the way, be sure to take a good whipper on one to make sure they hold well. I wouldn't want to make a purchase on incomplete information.

I read today in the newspaper that even if we were able to drastically reduce CO2 emissions now, it would take about 100 years before atmospheric levels of CO2 begin to decrease.

True or not, a great story!

Lookout! j_b got Dru's password.

My enemy's criticism is good for my campaign.

Here you go, Scott. Give George Bush a Brain.

Scott, are you staying with your folks now? I do plan to go to Stone Gardens over the weekend. Certainly the crappy weather takes some of the sting out.

Scott remarked that CBS has "gone all aggro". I'll tell you why. I'm not getting out this weekend at all. I have to stay home and finish a project on the house.

I don't need a brain scan to tell me that Republicans have a marked lack of empathy.

'bout time we had a decent poo thread!

Ever hear of Manifest Destiny?

This is what Humanity is ultimately evolving towards...
