That's the thing - as a politician, he's not witnessing to anything. His personal beliefs don't matter in this, only that he's willing to represent the beliefs of his constituents (or, in this case, the citizens of the US). Someone wrote a letter to the Atlanta paper today saying "I may...

And it's not even mine! Thomas Jefferson stole my idea.

I've been unimpressed with Spielberg's work of late. I think that tonight might be my night to, um, wash my hair. Yeah. I had been, uh, planning to, um, wash it. My hair.

Not debating the issue - just explaining a possible position. The original assertion was that Kerry's position on abortion was at odds with his Catholic faith. I was just explaining that a) a lot of Catholics have position at odds with that of the Vatican, including everyone who's ever used a...

I think the abortion issue comes down to the difference between "wrong" and "illegal". There are plenty of things out there that you shouldn't do, but that doesn't mean that they should be made illegal - after all, isn't the government best that governs least? Kerry takes the position that a...

Serious question here - no devil's advocate, pot-stirring, etc. - VetteMuscle427, you're saying that there isn't a single thing that he could do that could make you like him, on the basis of one speech? I really am interested in hearing about that.

Punk, John Ashcroft is probably monitoring this board personally. That mention of Sarin in your kitchen could have FBI agents swarming your pantry within the hour.

Something about furnishing one's own implants... "Doctor, I couldn't afford saline implants, but I did bring these chicken cutlets, if you could just, y'know, put them in, one on each side..."

I believe he meant "taxpayers like you and ME", not "you and I." But this guy obviously isn't the brightest crayon in the box. But I'm with y'all; this is someone who had Green Plastic Army Man dreams and was brutally rebuffed by the military institution of his choice. That, or he actually...

Most schools leave a little bit of leeway with scheduling. I know that at UGA (go Dawgs), most undergrad degrees are 120 hour courses; if you take the maximum 18 hours a semester, take summer courses, and manage not to just completely flip out in the process, theoretically you can graduate in...

Oh, your pictures came out so much better than mine. You had a much better seat; my pictures are nothing but heads. Except for the one of me and Himself; that one, of course, was pure poetry.

ROB - Let me take a stab at gently translating, because as well-meaning as these guys are, they all have penises. If you go back and read all of your posts, you'll have to admit that you come across as terribly naive and a little bit immature, and you seem to have a lot of illusions about the...

Well, if you ask them, they are.

I'm interested in knowing if this is related to the death of those four Saudi al Qaeda leaders (which smells a little bit funny to me anyway). Maybe they actually did have Saudi support, as they once claimed, but are now discovering that their support system is gone and they've got to change...

It does sing better as "Army Air Corps" - the rhythm fits better. But then, I'm kind of a music geek.

Alas, I was forced to resort to actual film this time, so pictures might take a while. But everyone seemed to enjoy themselves (some more than others, as blood alcohol levels rose). I think the DO was pretty representative of the Navy itself - very formal, very respectful of tradition and of...

It was, y'know, nice.

Come, now. No matter how you feel about Kerry, you've got to admit that the man has been doing the politics thing for a long time and has it down pat. Do you honestly think that, practically on the eve of a major election, with the entire country scrutinizing his every move, he's going to go...

Megan - Talked to my LPMC this very evening, and he mentioned Twidget mentioning that you mentioned... yeah. But it sounds like it might be fun. I think the best way to see a kid's movie is always with a kid, even if you have to borrow one. And Kimberly - Surgery?! I hope everything's...

I'll be there on the 4th, and I'm all kinds of excited about seeing my LPMC (Largely Platonic Male Counterpart). I also know from experience that 36 straight hours of solo contact and I could go nuts. The new Harry Potter movie opens that weekend - anybody up for a field trip?

Hey, if we're lucky, he's actually not full of crap and will be pulled over on his way to the polling place and arrested for assaulting an officer.

Oh, good God, I didn't even get to the part where he mentioned his mudflaps and the neons around his license plate. And I'm afraid that this guy might have been terribly real. Find any group of teenage "street racers" and at least one will tell you, in all sincerity, that they're getting 50...

That IROC guy has got to be the most pathetic - I can't - this is - Blargh! "Most cops know that I pull over as a favor to them." But if that washing and waxing thing works on the stealth bomber... (/sarcasm)

Eugh. I don't like Red Bull and vodka anyway, Baby Ruth or no.

I understand that it's basically hunch punch, with the occasional disgusting addition (chocolate syrup, orange juice, milk; depends on the sadism level of thems in charge). In a (clean) toilet bowl. I'm told that there will be nonalcoholic grog for teetotalers - in a potty chair. And you...

Enough! Enough! And I think that "Eyes Wide Shut" was kind of a porno on its own.

Well, I've studied consumer research, and their methods are pretty much standard for that kind of surveying. They had a large population, they sampled randomly, and their sample was proportionate to the population in terms of ethnicity, age, income level, etc. And the results are to be...

Please expound.

"Pulp Friction," of course, and for military enthusiasts, "Blackc0ck Down" and "Band of Buggers". I have this image of my father shaking his head and saying, "You are not a lady."

In Atlanta, it's Coke, everything is Coke, even if it's Pepsi. But I feel obliged to correct Viv - Coke is from Columbus, Georgia, not Atlanta, 'cause that's where John Pemberton came up with the syrup. They only added the carbonation in Atlanta, and there's whole Coca-Cola museum here that...

Liberal (?) media Just a little note on the liberalness (liberality?) of the media: Liberal media whores: Liberal, no. Whores . . . well, yeah.

Here's for pathetic: probably more than 40 times, since I was 5. It was another seven years before I could watch it without my parents fast-forwarding through the sex scene, and even then my thought was, "Eww, they're, like kissing with their tongues." And the video we had was taped from TV...

That's exactly what I went through with my... male person. We were actually engaged when I had the shock of my life when I found out that, without even thinking about it, I had graduated from college with a journalism degree and was living in a small town, working at a job that I hated...

I don't know an awful lot about your situation, but I can tell you that, in general, waiting never hurts. Life will change a lot for him after he gets his NFO slot, and life will absolutely change a lot for you when you get out of college. You'll want plenty of time to get used to your new life...

Kimberly - I've got a guy in 18-04. So excited to get a call from his CELL PHONE - and for more than ten minutes, too. And he gets to wear his contact lenses. It's a red-letter day.

I don't want to be an absolute downer, but you've got a tough row to hoe. Or, more specifically, she does, since you've got just about everything planned out for you and it's now her responsibility to follow you. I went through this exact scenario with my former fiance (now good friend...

Hi, y'all. I'm going to be at the June 4 dining out, and I've been told that a cocktail dress is perfectly appropriate. That's the usual knee-length "little black dress". And it's always a safer bet to be overdressed than underdressed, because then all people can gripe about is that you're...
