    Oh, he was laughing as he said it. LOL I don't think it's totally outlandish that the crazy ass Mormon talk show host who devotes entire shows to how we are reaching Armageddon would seriously suggest that a politician that he doesn't like is the Antichrist.

    I haven't thought about this since 1996.

    I thought that was Snoop Dogg's symbol.

    Investments

    Same on my IRAs, Rant. I switched from ING Direct to a local credit union because ING's rates had gone down quite a bit.

    Grad School, pt. 2

    That school in Northern KY is called Chase. I got accepted to UK in Lexington. That's the only one I applied to since my wife has a good job in Lexington that she likes.

    Campaign 2008

    Oregon votes in May, too? I think I may have voted for Kucinich back in '04, I can't even remember...it really didn't matter at that point, obviously. I may have voted for Dean. I remember that my buddy wanted to be the only guy in his very rural Frankfort, KY precinct to vote for Al Sharpton in '04. Unfortunately, if the election is still contested by the time it gets to the Bluegrass, I'm pretty sure Clinton will beat Obama here.

    Hey Marvin

    I didn't say that they were the same thing. I said that coal to liquid fuel is very bad for the environment. With any kind of coal gasification or liquification, the carbon in the coal isn't going to suddenly disappear. It will have to be either released into the atmosphere or sequestered: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/23/opinion/...and&emc=rss

    Hey Marvin

    Hows about neither? Why does everyone want to completely abandon our #1 natural resource? Coal is cheap and plentiful in America and can be turned into clean burning natural gas.

    Hey Marvin

    I come from a coal producing state and recognize its important to the economy here, but the shit is fucking poison. Mountaintop removal is destroying the environment in Eastern Kentucky. You can take a "virtual flyover" of a MTR site here. http://www.vimeo.com/610726/
