OKay, B.O. has been President for 30 days now. Done diddly squat. The honeymoon is over. Impeach Obama now. This 30 day grace period is 29 days and 23 hours longer than the one extended to Bush. Fellow members of the vast right-wing conspiracy, with righteous indignation, call your...

Layout... how much cost for a permit to go after a flesh-eating chimpanzee in Connecticut? I realize the chimp was finally put down by the cops, but was that a crazy situation or what?

Greetings... I hail originally from Pikeville, home of the annual Hillbilly Days Festival. Land of the Hatfields and McCoys. Rugged mountain terrain along the West Virginia border. Norman Rockwell would still recognize this place largely unchanged by time.

Sittin' by the fireplace at home. 10 miles south of Lexington. No ocean view, but I can see horses playing from the window.

My younger brother still works in the underground coal mines of Eastern Kentucky. They mine coal 24/7 just to keep up with demand. Coal is America's ace in the hole.

Adjust your Beltone.

Got my trucking sea legs in a Conestoga wagon riding along side of Ward Bond... it was heck fighting off Indians, malaria, revenuers, etc. Navigated by sextant and dead reckoning. If somebody died enroute, we just buried 'em right there by the Wilderness Road. Didn't give it no-never-mind. *L*

OVM... I admire you hardy folks in South Dakota.

Of course Obama is not a conservative. But, then, neither was Bush. Obama is a pragmatist.

Wow. How long have you known your new O/O? Long enough to put blind faith in his/her analysis. Being in the expediting business right now might prove nothing more than there are a lot of folks stuck with truck payments from which there is no escape.

Not to worry, the fix is in.

Does this relegate Gertrude to the status of half-sister?

I'm with ya on the car salesman.

On the planet Vulcan, logic and reason rule without interference from emotion. Earthlings, however, are endowed with emotions and these emotions mess everything up. It can lead to an overindulgence in superficiality. Dang it. I remain duped. *L*

Octogenarian Alan Greenspan now favors nationalization of some troubled US banks. Let them become a government owned institution much like the Bank of England? This is more than a trial balloon: it's a shift away from capitalism as we've known it. I can see a rapid decline in Americans'...

No, no.... I wasn't disagreeing with you, Layout. We are in close alignment philosophically on this case. I was having fun with our pugilistic penpal, Turtle. He makes me think, but I remain unconvinced.

OK. We're looking at this from different perspectives, with different points of view and drawing different conclusions. We will have to agree to disagree. Without being disagreeable. *L*

Moreover, I am left to wonder why George W. commuted these sentences? He was fanatical in his insistence that the border agents be prosecuted. Could it be because Bush is retiring to Crawford,Tx and now has to live among the offended? If Johnny Sutton is brought to trial, I wonder if an...

Turtle... have you considered prosecutor Johnny Sutton just might be an overzealous, politically ambitious man who is trying to make a name for himself as he seeks higher office? Happens all the time. One irrefutable fact is clear: Ramos and Compean are terrible marksmen. Sheesh...

Turtle... I made no attempt to exonerate Ramos and Compean. I don't really know what happened there. The "facts" are elusive and confusing. More than one version of events have been put forth. I don't lend more credence to the prosecution because I don't trust their motives. My natural...
