Big Ol' Smitty

Isn't that a Washington, D.C. based global private equity investment firm?

John Edwards just kind of waundered into the Senate one day, made some pretty speeches, and started running for president. I have been (kinda like Al Gore) more impressed with him since his loss. from his wikipedia entry

I'm skeptical.

I would be happy with Clark, Edwards, Gore, or maybe Obama right now.

With the "netroots" playing a bigger role in elections (we would not have a Senator Webb or a Senator Tester without them) I think actual positions on issues and votes like this one will play a bigger role in the nominating process. I could be wrong.

I like Wesley Clark.

I like Domestic, Light, & Cold.

I just found out my girlfriend got me Colts tickets for the New Year's Eve game. Shit, I hope they're not playing the subs...

Hey Curry. I think your sig if fucking up my viewing this page.

Nope, I had a prostate exam. Which was a huge mistake. If I ever have another similar situation, I'm going to just risk prostate cancer rather than having another prostate exam.

Jerk, the bankruptcy bill was an absolute abortion. Also, I can cite tons of abuses and unethical practices by credit card companies. You should find a better group to go to bat for. I didn't say that the credit card industry bribed Bayh illegally. It is perfectly legal to accept contributions from corporations and corporate PACs. I just suggested that the approximately $300K he has received from the industry (according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics) influenced his vote for it. http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/ind...&cycle=2006 If you want to know more about how the bill sucked, I can provide more information. It is one of the worst pieces of legislation passed in recent history, in my opinion.

I'd say the $300K he's received in contributions from the credit card industry had more to do with his vote for that terrible bill than anything else.

What's a growing problem?

My favorite part of that episode was Toby trying to do the fist tap with Jim & then apologizing. Also, I just read online that Toby tried to ask Pam out. When was this?

Sen. Bayh will not be receiving a vote from me, unfortunately. Hopefully, there will be enough execs from MBNA to pull him through if he runs. http://www.drummajorinstitute.com/congress...er.php?billno=2

I pour it out in the morning. (Into a bowl of shredded wheat.)

I'm afraid some would end up trickling on my floor.

Now that my dog Russ is out, I think I might throw my support behind Mike Gravel. http://www.gravel2008.us/

I actually pee in 2 litre Coke bottles at night because I have to pee a lot during the night and the bathroom is way on the other side of our long house.

I can't imagine Rudy making it through the Republican primaries without some major flipping of the flop.

Brownbackamania is percolating...

Bayh's "national security expertise" didn't lead to him to make a very good decision on the war over in that desert place.

I think it was just an odd post in this thread. That's why Jerk said that, I mean. It's a thread about Iraq.
