But getting sucked never gets old. Go figger? Mine was St. Paddy's day. Now, all you guys erase that form your memories.

Happy Birthday!!!!

That one was a classic.

I asked a question on this site a few months ago (I reiterate it was a question not a claim or accusation) that the a reason or the reason for invading Iraq was to set up a Forward Operating Base for the war on terror. I believe that the response was nil, other than to labeled a left wing tug job. Your reason number 4 seems to lend some credibility to my earlier proposition. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.......

I can not confirm nor deny the the level of information that I may or may not have access to. However, I don't suppose the revenue from all of the crack and heroin sold on the corner make up any part of the GNP, do they?

Mandolin: Anything by Chris Thiele (Nickle Creek)

FW - Thanks for the chart on the weapons. I don't know that the clandestine weapons sales that occurred during that time frame would make a dent in the statistic, but thank you none the less. To the point of the article you posted, I have listened and read 4 reports on the topic in the time frame I was at my daughter's gymnastics class this evening. From Fox to NPR. From all indications none of the politicians involved knew the alleged ultimate source of the funding for the trip. Does it look bad, hell yeah! Did they commit a crime or impeachable defense? You tell me. As far as being willingly ignorant of the geopolitical situation in that era, you are probably correct. I do know that the US was friendly with the Shah and that pissed off a bunch of the Islamic Fundamentalists who ran he and his cronies out of the country and took a few US hostages to boot. And Carter pissed them off so bad they timed the hostage release with is leaving office. Or at least that's what I read in school. Our family was friends with a few of the families evacuated from Tehran in 1977 and I only know what I've heard from them and from an old roommate (ex-pat Iranian) and his dad. I read a lot of pretty decent points you make in your posts but it is too bad they are mostly obscured by the bluster you frequently add to them. While you seem to be more astute politically than many of the posters on this site, I do find your skills at civil discourse severely lacking. Speaking of duped, would it be somewhat accurate to say that the US and our congress were duped by deliberately faulty and misleading information leading up to the vote by congress to go to war with Iraq? Just asking.....

Substantiate your 1% figure. Yeah, tell me about the hostage thing will ya? You've got me pegged, FW.

Yeah, I think that kinda crosses the line......

Gosh, imagine how the the Bush Sr. led CIA felt when they were supplying Saddam with all of that support in their skirmish with Iran. Duped, I'm sure. But they are Republicans, so in the interest of national security and intelligence I guess they are above the law.

And of course, Why do rednecks do it doggy style? So they can both watch NASCAR on TV.

Pass-bro? CanIwhiff? Bitchland?

Yeah, but Sobo's from Yakima, an invitation for oral ususally starts with "hey bro, come here".

Guy gets a new car. It has this realy cool voice activated radio (like that one in the new Fords). He's driving down the road and he says "Heavy Metal" and Metallica starts playing. "Wow, this is cool" he thinks. After Metallica is over he says "Alt Country and Keith Urban starts playing. He's getting really enthused now. He says "British Invasion"; the Dave Clark 5 comes on. He starts playing with the controls and takes his eyes off of the road for a couple of seconds. He looks up and there's a couple of kids chasing a ball on the street right in front of him. He slams on the brakes and yells "Fucking Kids!!!!". A Michael Jackson song starts playing on the radio.

does it matter?

Satriani -vs- Vai in a ghey beyotch slap fight?

We saw a walrus whacking it at Sea World once. Never saw mom's clear kids outta a place so fast in your life! But what does that have to do with politicians and hookers?

Q what do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A drummer

I'm with Sobo!! Who cares about the latest politician to get caught with a hooker? Nekkid wimmen pix puhleeez!

Wow. They all have issues.

Lindsay Buckingham's live solo in I'm So Afraid. Very similar to comfortably numb in intensity.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "hey why the long face?".

Uli Roth - Scorpions - Sails of Charon. Also, Polar Nights is a classic.

A Priest, Rabbi & Shaman walk into a bar. The bartender says what is this, some kind of a joke?

A guy walks into a bar. He says ouch.
