Is there? W/r/t to "health insurance for children"? Your comment about the costs of the war implies that there is some huge, unaddressed need in domestic spending, and that said need materialized under the current administration. This is typical rhetoric from the left when in opposition: manufacture a social crisis, and demagogue it ad nauseaum. When in power, the former opposition summarily shuts up - the social crisis is gone. Maybe not go away, but at least they're being discussed, considered and possibly addressed. Now, well, lets just pretend there isn't a problem It's like the debt, or bad news in Iraq... If the media would just stop discussing all of the bad news, there wouldn't be any bad news! Can we get a ostrich with it's head in the sand graemlin? So many potential uses!

You tell me?

A small PC could completely overun the Gallway Arms. Good guiness, great price on happy hour food, U-district, so Busses are easy to come by.

WTF, of course not Silly boy.

Fuck you, you fuckin' fuck. Is that the best you can come up with you limp wristed, lyrca wearing, sporto,

Your only just now figuring that out And I haven't been up Champagne, or Orbit yet, though Orbit is on the list. And iI'll be going on a weekend, , starting early with another relatively new leader

you never smelled the damn things! Almost a perfect prank, harmless, incredibly annoying, and quasi permanent! I gues there's always pencil lead on his spark plugs, theoreticaly melts and prevents the engine from firing? Just have to clean the plugs though. Or if your a good engineer, you could do the wedding trick and wire his turn signal to his horn?

all much too obvious and easy to fix. My step-dad used to work in Publich health and managed to get his hands on orange-scented samples of landfill deoderizers. (look like the little scented christmas trees you hang on car mirrors, but much, much, much more potent) Hid those around another guys office, under the keyboard, between books , etc etc. Took weeks to find them all, and the best part was the oil they were impregnated with was so potent that it seeped into anything would or paper that it was left in contanct with, so stuff smelled like really strong orange damn near forever.

you must have missed the testimony of the witnesses who said they pulled on gear through all the cruxes. my bad. Though the occasional french free would only have served to speed them up. Given the circumstances probably a better decision then trying to free absolutely every move. I'd still rather seem someone climbing close to their limit and pushing in a safe manner than always climbing something well within their comfort. What's the fun in that?

Yeah, but they did get it free, and it was within their abilities. Just close to the limit of their abilities. So who deserves more to be on the route? The party challenging themselves, close to the limit of their abilities, doing it more or less from the ground up for the first time, and moving a little slowly because of it? Or the party who's climbing below their limit, has done the route before, and is just looking for a nice day out on good rock, in a nice setting? As for a less traveled route? That's what I want to be climbing when i'm pushing myself, some dirty, empty POS, because it's convienent for people doing laps on a trade route Maybe it's because I'm still learning, but I'd give preference to the group challenging themselves, after all, that's what this whole little game is about. Good on you guys 10 to 1 I'll be clogging up the route myself later this summer

amen I think I need to start going to functions... I had know idea what I'm missing.

ew, ew, ew, ew, I need a shower

It's not dead. It just moved to Oregon. we climb and drink and eat every thursday the weather is decent girls and guys oops, I forgot this wasn't spray!

It's the shiny mask and the obvious uniform/hat fetish that gives you away CC. We all know your wearing frilly pink things underneat!

must submit photographic proof to back up your claim, drul... maybe the nude girls of CC.com calendar will finally get put together! I think drul needed one more tasteful black and white, headless chimney butt shot. ooh, not to mention we can find out who peakbetty was

I know in Idaho there are laws against "fornication", which I think they defined as any sex outside of marriage. Unlike most states they actually prosecute for it every few years. It stuns me a bit, but they only end up prosecuting, single, pregnant girls who are 18 or 19, and of course they never say who the father is. Seems like a very effective tactic. Now she's, single, pregnant, and has a criminal record to boot!

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Chief Sealth

He says he's staying on through the rest of his term (slightly less than 3 years). At the moment, he hasn't done anything illegal, just tarnished his reputation.

No, it's poetic justice because he's right-wing, and anti-gay rights.... Now's he's being accused of molesting two boys 20 years ago (both accusers are felons so this may be questionable), but the Spokesmen Review set up a sting, and he ended up offering a Spokesmen Employee posing as an 18yr old homosexual an internship with the Mayors office in exchange for sex. from the Seattle Times Rumors of West's sexual orientation have followed him throughout his political career, in part because of his opposition to gay-rights measures. Last week, he opposed a Spokane City Council ordinance extending benefits to the partners of city employees, but backed away when council members said they had enough votes to override any veto .... He has opposed legislation to protect gays and lesbians from discrimination, and supported the Defense of Marriage Act, a state law defining marriage as between a man and a woman. In a 2000 mayoral debate, West was asked about having an ordinance banning discrimination against gays and lesbians. He told The Spokesman-Review, "I don't think we can carve out special classes. Especially if it's a class where people still disagree if it's a learned behavior or one you're born with." In 1986, he supported legislation that would have prohibited gays and lesbians from working in schools and day-care centers, according to The Spokesman-Review. In 1990, West sponsored a bill in the Senate that would have outlawed consensual sex between minors and required school districts to stress premarital chastity, teach "honor and respect for monogamous, heterosexual marriage," according to a Seattle Times article on the legislation.

I just love our President and Legislative bodies at the moment. They obviously know what's best for us out here in the west. After all, weren't the roadless rules just meant to set aside timber to be logged at a latter date? taken from CNN WASHINGTON (AP) -- The last 58.5 million acres of untouched national forests, which President Clinton had set aside for protection, were opened to possible logging, mining and other commercial uses by the Bush administration Thursday. New rules from the U.S. Forest Service cover some of the most pristine federal land in 38 states and Puerto Rico. Ninety-seven percent of it is in 12 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Governors can submit petitions within 18 months to stop road building on some of the 34.3 million acres where it would now be permitted, or request that new forest management plans be written to allow the construction on some of the other 24.2 million acres. Some officials made it clear much of the land will remain untouched. "We have no plans to build roads in the roadless areas of the national forests in California. ... Areas are roadless here for a reason," said Matt Mathes, a regional spokesman for the Forest Service in the state. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said his agency, which includes the Forest Service, would work closely with governors "to meet the needs of our local communities while protecting and restoring the health and natural beauty of our national forests." Democrats questioned why governors were getting so much power over land use. "Trees, wildlife and fish don't respect state boundaries, and I don't think decisions about management of roadless areas -- or other parts of the national forests -- should be based on those lines, either," said Rep. Mark Udall of Colorado. "The Bush administration's decision to gut the 'roadless rule' is a gift to special interests and a blow to the environment," said Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York in a press release. Eight days before leaving office in 2001, President Clinton acted to take decisions about roadless forest land away from local federal managers. Environmentalists said the managers often were too close to logging companies and other developers. "Any short-term economic gain that would result from turning over these areas to corporate special interests is significantly outweighed by the economic benefit of keeping them intact," said Steve Smith, the Wilderness Society's assistant regional director for Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. "This takes us straight back to the early 1990s, when the national forests were managed as nothing more than tree lots for the timber industry," said Philip Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust. The Forest Service will have final say over the governors' petitions. But the agency is creating an advisory committee to help put the rule in place. The agency said petitions from the states could be based on requests to protect public health and safety; reduce wildfire risks; conserve wildlife habitat; maintain dams, utilities or other public works; or ensure that people have road access to their private property. With the federal courts deeply involved since President Clinton's action, the fate of the regulations is in doubt. On Wednesday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from environmental groups appealing a Wyoming judge's ruling overturning Clinton's move. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Clinton's rule. Many of the same issues apply in both cases. Agriculture Undersecretary Mark Rey, who oversees forest policy, said the new rule would cut away the legal uncertainty by getting states on the side of the federal government. He emphasized that the rule probably would not lead to a big spurt of road building. "We've only been constructing a few miles of road each year," said Rey, a former timber industry lobbyist. Jim Angell, a lawyer with the Earthjustice law firm, said plaintiffs already are lining up to challenge the changes announced Thursday.
