Where is Catbirdseat when you need him?

Mountaineer's Dome is a great, super easy place to get "dialed in".

Anyone been up there recently? I'm curious how the Ice Cliff Glacier and Triple Couloir routes are looking.

Well JMO, although I think you're a breath of fresh air, plan on a bunch of nasty bitchy 5 year old imitators showing up with their little pissy foul mouths as if saying nasty things about you will win them an argument because they either have nothing else of substance, or or just too fucking stupid to be able to present it in a factual manner. Have a nice day:-) JMO: if you try hard enough, you'll get a couple of "cling-ons" - posters who follow you around and snipe at any opportunity. Unfortunately, no ammount of toilet paper seems to be adequate for separating them from you butt-hairs into the toilet.

Who doesn't think that best part of waking up is Folger's in their cup????

is that you on the left or in the middle?

Limbaugh's rhetoric is eerily familiar... hmm, where did I hear shrill rhetoric attacking a newly elected president before? Where did I previously hear political opponents actively wishing the President - and America - to fail...

So, get a life. There's nothing novel about a video of Diamond Dave circa 1988 climbing in Yosemite.

That's exactly the type of vapid, content-less post I'd expect from you. Tell us again why you shouldn't have to pay off your student loans?

Congress signed off on that spending and those tax cuts. Interestingly enough, Carter was actually a budget hawk, and his own party refused to go along with him, wanting the "pork" they needed to further empower themselves and buy votes from their constituents. This problem has only grown over the years.

You're an idiot. The same thing? Socialism about confiscating property from the haves and transferring it to the "have-nots". No willing sacrifice takes place, and the result is a dependency on the government and a feeling of entitlement. World War II was about everyone making huge sacrifices to defend themselves from a threat to their very way of life. It was a feeling of interdepency and common goals. And there was no feeling of entitlement whatsoever. You can find similarilities in the Soviet Union where communism and the efforts in the "Great Patriotic War" are two entirely different things.

I agree Bob. Here's a phrase you can use when some random Republican starts in on the "Tax and Spend Democrats". Ask "You mean like Clinton? The Dem who balanced the budget after the record deficits and runaway government spending he inherited from Reagan: who, by the way, was a BORROW AND SPEND style Republican like all of the Bushes and all of the repubs seem to be these days. " If most of us had a choice between a borrow and spend or a tax and spend politician, I'm sure most of us would choose the latter. I'm damn tired of Borrow and Spend politicians of any affiliation, but they seem to all be Republicans. Another simplistic analysis. Reagan's deficits were the result of compromise: he got what he wanted in terms of increased military spending and tax cuts, while the Democrat-controlled house and senate got their programs funded. Both side gave up something to the other at the expense of the American people - literally and figuratively. Flip the party affiliations around and you get the same thing with Clinton and the Republican-controlled house and senate. The Republicans forced fiscal conservatism on Clinton in exchange for concessions on their part. The Republicans then turned into spendthrift Democrats once they had both the legistlative and executive reigns, and now there are no fiscal conservatives. We have moved from a spendthrift Republican congress/president combination to an even more spendthrift Democrat congress/president combination. That's not good in any way or defensible by saying "but the other side...". That type of argument doesn't even work for 3rd graders on a playground, but it's all I can expect from cc.com libtards. You can do better than them, Bill.

You were doing pretty well until those last couple sentences when that Russian/German blood in your veins once again boiled over. FYI, Clinton began the deregulation of the banking sector. Were you even here back then? GGK talks a lot of shit about Russians but he acts and talks just like one.

Wrong. The economy only recovered after the War Machine revitalized it. Nice try though. Why didi WWII bring us out of the depression? Oh yeah, massive government spending,huge deficits, large government project (ships, tanks etc) and a huge increase in the the number of people hired by the government (army) People always like to us WWII as proof that the New Deal didn't work and that only the war turned things around. The New Deal wasn't big enough, it took a real crisis (war) and really massive government spending (war) to end the depression. So KKK, if you think WWII ended the Great Depression, your really arguing that what we need right now is more government spending? 1) WWII is *not* part of the New Deal. 2) War is not socialism. 3) If you agree that massive military spending is the way out of recessions/depressions in general, then Obama needs to invade a few countries. Of course our recent massive military spending hasn't seemed to do us much good. Your arguments are weak and simpleminded.

That's over 20 years old, boner.

Yeah, there's no bugz in the N. cascades... LOL

Hey Kboner got a hold of Doug's login! WTF?

My 85-year-old Great Uncle had hip-replacement surgery a few years back. The first question he asked his Doctor when he woke following the procedure was: "when can I have sex again"?

I once did that on the connector trail between Snoqulamie Central and Snoqualmie West...

so far I feel ok. which is good because there's 30" of new snow I need to check out at Crystal.
