You really consider him to be the ugliest man in rock and roll? I don't know man, there are several more hideous; both organically and chemically altered.

As opposed to the guy in the horse barnin Enumclaw who died being done by something he loved......

Local boy makes good

Representin'

yeah, them democratics with their elitist education and stuff. who needs intellect and education to deal with the problems of the world when you have a pissed off hockey mama grizzly. Like a runaway locomotive on a dirt road.

omfg. what a frapping cunf.

OBL Story inconsistencies: Pieced together information by multiple sources without checking facts Pat Tillman Story: Flat out lies and cover up. I guess I'd rather have an incompetent government than one that doesn't have any sort of fanatical attachment to the truth......

Mission (closer to being) Accomplished!

Fixed that for ya.... Last time I saw one was about 10 years ago. Driving up the Middle Fork road at close to dusk a cougar darted across the road in front of us. Damned thing was huge!

And where the hell is Richard Simmons??????

Yet another view I'm pretty convinced that Mortensen is not a very good director of a 501c3. I'm also pretty convinced that the purpose of the speaking engagements isn't solely book sales, it's about generating funds for CAI, which will forever be linked to 3 Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools. I still support his mission there. The validity of the events in the book is turning into a he said/he said cluster. Out and out lies? I can't judge that. I do personally know a couple of people who were in very close quarters with Krakauer on Everest. Their take (w/o any motivation to sell their story) is that his version was any where from slightly embellished to pure fiction. So whatever. Believe what you want.

Part of CAI's mission is "Domestic Outreach". The speaking engagements are not to sell books; they are to raise public awareness to CAI's mission. The charity funds this.

down-loadable for free for two days then $2.99 after. I agree that those fees are probably too much

Suhfrickingprise!Jon Krakauer has a new e-book released today. Yeah, I suppose some of 3 Cups and Stones into Schools have been embellished; much as JK embellished in "Into Thin Air". I do believe schools have been built, and girls educated where no opportunity previously existed. I hope this is a wake up call to Mortensen and CAI to run a little tighter ship. But jeez, what an opportunist Krakauer!

Tea Party protest in Bellevue in front of Factoria Cinemas!!! Join the Party!!! Join the movement!!!

The military need to train in order to keep their skills sharp. To a one, every Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Army serviceman I've worked with on a rescue said they would much rather have their training budget go for helping with climber rescues than a benign training exercise. Way better value for the tax dollar, IMO.

"dude. tsunami's coming. I'm gonna go down to the beach to take pictures of it!" You forgot "hold my beer".

I've found their site fascinating. They cater to the political views of the Christian Right, yet they feature lots of what some on the right would consider sinful. No more or less principled that any other mainstream news outlet on the web.

Balanced, 35% Taxes, 65% Spending Cuts. Am I a conservative now?

In the private sector.

You bought a used treadmill for Fairweather?

And if caught and convicted of sodomy you will likely have sodomy as part of your punishment. You shore gotta a purty mouth cupcake.

Pretty simple Larry. What has more impact? Fuck. Or Fuck You you Fucking Fuck. It's all about context.

I called some one a "baby raper" once and that didn't get me banned. What about "Fuck Stain"? That's one of my favorite insults. Can I substitute "Rapidly Trembling Labia" for the offensive term which started this fun thread. Best one on cc.com in a while!
