Sorry ta' burst ye bubble, but dat booty washed away in the last hurricane along with dem ponies yee left when ya shipwrecked.

I sat through the rain game in all my patagucci mountain wear, while the devoted wore garbage bags. What a game, and kept my stub for last nights final. Hey Peter thanks for letting us have jaime moyer, 48 and still has his stuff. Baseball I love it.

Invest in a new head coach. Willingham sucked at ND and still does a UW

Una vez que el jefe está muerto, La Isla se ajustará y aceptar el capitalismo. Vaya con Dios, Fidel.

For the next Fall RopeUp.

He's pretty popular in the Tri-State area, and PA is one of those key battleground states. His son is in Iraq, he's got tons of FP experience, and will be out ripping McCain's face off, while O talks nicey nice. A wise choice.

It musta been the eggs.

Spray some ranch dressing on those veggies. ...

Now that's how to spend your summer vacation. Nice one B. Yes sir and No sir go a long way with bureaucrats!

Who dat? Toto?

Russia's military doctrine sanctions the use of nuclear weapons "against the allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them." [including strategic defense systems] STFU you bellicose drunk babushka huggin' fool. You know damn well that ain't happenin'. On different note. Time to invest in defense industry stocks if that's your proclivity.

WestTexaspolitik- Mr. Bush said famously that he had looked into the eyes of Mr. Putin and “got a sense of his soul.” At the Pentagon, Mr. Gates was asked whether he trusted Mr. Putin anymore? Realpolitik-“I have never believed that one should make national security policy on the basis of trust. I think you make national security policy based on interests and on realities." And there you have it my friend. How'd that go again? No fucking shit.

This has gone beyond sabre rattling. It has the potential to get seriously out of hand very rapidly. A 21st century Cuban Missile Crisis.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Next will be China sending troops to Sudan to protect their interests. Stay tuned.

Their foray was neither realistic nor practical. Now their military is decimated, the autonomous regions have been essentially annexed, and they'll be expecting NATO (EU) to rebuild their infrastructure. Fat chance.

def: politics based on practical and material factors rather than on theoretical or ethical objectives

You know little of Eastern European mindsets and politics. They envision is as their land (which indeed it is). With hostile forces invading their land under the guise of "peacekeepers" they had no other recourse in their minds. Of course, the timing is peculiar at best. Georgia was also enabled by the West who it thought would come running to their aid. The only aid they have received is empty words. Realpolitik?

PP that's Pravda not the liberal West media. My question is, "What was the Georgian government thinking?" Were they under the assumption that Putin et al wouldn't respond. David took on Goliath and got his ass handed to him. A classic example of not choosing one's battles wisely.

LAME

Don't make me kick your ass again.

Man sure glad it wasn't CBS.

Freakin' smokin' man.

Does anyone have any beta on the snow conditions in the Trinity Alps, Russian Wilderness, Castle Crags area of the Southern Cascade Range. Or a link to... Flying out to Redding CA tomorrow, and then heading North. Here's to a great summer.
