They only have to divest by putting their stock holdings into a blind trust. Dick still knows he owns Halliburton stock, and he'll probably get a big bonus once he leaves office.

So what you're saying Fairweather is the end justifies the means. It's ok to lie in order to get what you want. Dick Cheney and Halliburton didn't feel rich enough, so they talked GW into starting a war and giving them the contracts to rebuild the country afterwards.

Say Trask, aren't you an insurance salesman?

We saw a gate, but it was wide open. There were some tree planters working up there but no active logging, so I guess you don't need a key. We went in on Saturday and came out on Monday.

I would be more inclined to think it was the porcupine than a squirrel. Squirrels usually go for smaller branches and chew the bark down to the cambium.

j b is a prime example of why the democrats are having problems these days. j b is a worthless, politically correct, piece of shit. I'm more in agreement with j b politically, but I would rather shoot myself than hang out with him. Trask is ok Good to hear you had fun this weekend Distel

May 29th is my favorite day of the year too.

While your argument has merit, It was not the stated reason for going to war by the Bush administration. The stated reason by Bush, Rumpy, and Powell was that Saddam had a lot of chemical/biological weapons ready to either lob at the rest of the world or give to terrorists. That was the main reason for war. If the above was true then I think the army should have easily found warheads ready to shoot at them. All those other reasons are nice, but by that logic we better hurry up cause we got about 30 more countries to put down.

Nope. j b =

Mattp, I'm not sure Senator Byrd is "all there" these days. If you've listened to some of his more recent ramblings on the senate floor, you know what I'm talking about. There is much speculation re his mental fitness. And let's not forget his past KKK membership and recent use of the "N" word! We know about the KKK etc, but what about the speach in question Brian. Where are the chemical warheads that posed an immanent threat to the world? It's been over a month sice we had full control of Iraq. If Saddam was such a threat then where are the fucking chemical weapons? And don't try and change the subject

I don't have either of those cds, but I say burn burn burn. Fuck those media giants. They spent the 20th century screwing over musicians and the listening public, and they show no signs of letting up. Fuck em

Well I can't blame him for quitting a job like that. It takes a special personality to be able to do, "cold call," sales. It's probably ok if he doesn't have those skills. I think you should encourage him to look for another job. It's a good way for him to find out about himself. AND HAVE A AND RELAX

No military for me, but I knew a few guys in college who were in ROTC.

Seeing that this is a climbing/mountaineering site and jibbing is something that is mostly done in a ski area I think the flack you're getting is well deserved. Ski areas are fun when there's deep pow and the avy conditions are high, but backcountry/non jibbing is what most folks here are into.

Give him one of these

Shit, with Trask's bad haircut, chubby physique, and ambiguous gender, he should fit right in! Trask = Pat

I hear Weekend Climbers is starting a new season.

I've got 7 chainsaws and a chipper. Does that count as being armed?

So what does your girlfriend say when you brag about how fast you are?

Scott, Your an alright guy in person, but on the web your command of spelling and the facts are poor. Let me tell you a little story: A long time ago one of our presidents was trying to figure out how to settle the PNW as rapidly as possible. He was afraid a bunch of Brits were going to get here first and turn this place into Canada. He decided that sending the army in, like they did in the great plains, would take too long, so the president and his advisers decided to treat the PNW Indian tribes as sovereign nations and negotiate treaties with them. The result is our government signed an agreement with local tribes saying that in exchange for land the local tribes could fish their hearts out. Sorry pal, an agreement is an agreement no matter how inconvenient it is for you. PS right now, and most times I post I have the program Word open so I can check my shitty spelling.

Look, your command of the facts is betrayed by your shitty spelling. If you want others to read and consider the, "well thought out," stuff you write then show you care enough to get the details (spelling) right... or at least mostly right. I bet you can't spell

Fence Sitter, You're a moron of major proportions. OW is totally right. Dru is right too. So you were in the army? You were in ROTC? I bet you call your little vacations, "Army experience." AND GOD DAM IT HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO SPELL, "THE," THE RIGHT WAY. I'm a shitty speller, but at least I try and have some respect for others.
