He inspired an entire generation by starting our first and only human journey to another planet. As for the secret service comment, congratulations: you've won the Drama Queen of the Week award. Yes, it was all about the wonder of discovery and rainbows and bunnies. Nothing to do with the Cold War. The hipster cynicism of a 21st century nobody does little to denigrate the monumental achievements of Kennedy's space program. To you, one who did not live through it, it may seem like just another Cold War publicity stunt. To me, and to the rest of the world (including the Russians), who actually witnessed that first step onto an alien world in 1969, it was a life changing event.

Sorry, Cheamclimber. I posted before actually watching your video and made the wrong assumption. My bad. My faith in Canadian humor is restored.

The Gore/Kerry/Edwards/you fill in the blanks "would have/would be a disaster" comments are the mental midget equivalent of a "Hey, look over there!" distraction. They have the intellectual depth of a parking lot puddle. They are the moron's answer to the Bush legacy, usually followed up with a "Yeah, but Bush wasn't true to the conservative movement." Um, with the exception of fiscal responsibility, Bush was completely true to conservative ideals: A bloated military, a foreign policy completely reliant on military power, the infusion of Christianity into politics (sorry conservatives, you've been pandering to those folks for 30 years now, so it's become part of your 'movement'), a blind trust of private corporations, and the lowest priority given to the environment. It is the conservative movement and it's failed ideas that has brought this country down to its present level, not the Bush administration. McCain will simply bring more of the same; his ideas are nearly identical to Bush's in substance, and the downward slide will continue should he be elected.

Stop fightin'. Whiskey's for drinkin'; water's for fightin' over.

Fugs on Monday. A rare day of climbing in the sunshine. Ice like frozen buttah.

This is a job for.... ...SUPER PARTISAN!

You'll have to wrest the Drama Queen trophy from KKK's deathgrip, however, after his moving aria concerning stalking pregnant Issaquah housewives.

Someone apparently hasn't gotten the memo that, under our current system, they've already given up their private information to insurance companies, HMOs, credit card companies, mortgage lenders....

yeah this one has really surprised me. the guy is an intolerant good ol' boy, and some "progressives" sing his virtues. amazing. It's also a completely unsupported statement. McCain is an engaging character with a good sense of humor, but his proposed policies are text book Cut Taxes - Cut Government - Bloat the Military conservative. The man has zero new ideas, and liberals are certainly not OK with him.

Perhaps your ultimate dream should be to become an Ultimate Dream Motivational Speaker.

Crack, Dan and I climbed Fugs today in good conditions. Frenchmen's is now gushing and hollow.

THAT was really funny, in an eternally damning sort of way.

Men much prefer the phrase "we need to f#&k".

Obama verses McCain: if it happens, we'll finally have ourselves a prize fight election.

It's too bad the Spartans didn't follow a suicide cult. Then '300' might never have been made.

Bored suburbanites fantasizing about chat roomies fantasizing about their pregnant wives. Eeeeeeeewwwww.

The main falls is a gusher, but there are some climbs to the right. Danielpatricksmith and I did a short pitch this morning. Interesting climbing: everything from cottage cheese, to mixed to brittle icicles. 2 V threads about 2/3 of the way up. Leadable (take everything from 22s to stubbies), and hey, not a very long drive. Left side of the falls looks too thin and chandeliered to take pro. The trail is very well beaten in.

"Hey, like, Amber? Did we, like, get any orders in, like, Octooober? I mean, if, like, you don't know, it's all good."

300 sucked Trojan horse cock. I wanted everyone to die within the first 5 minutes.

Use the "I", not "You" word. But you might be tapping a night stick or similar bludgeoning tool against your palm while you do.

It has started.

The tragedy of addiction.
