I'm a fellow Floridian, and a coastal guy too. Basically, I load in the garage, where everything that isn't covered in lube rusts (tools too) as-you-watch. I use heavy-duty ziploc bags to hold dies, tools, etc, then put them in plastic cans, then in closed cabinets. It's the only way I've...

Let's assume we (America) DO "win" in Iraq. What have we won? It'll be like it was before, except divided among religious/tribal lines (like it is now) instead of Party lines, and as friendly to the USA as Sadam was before Gulf War I. Notice, nowhere did I mention OBL or AQ, because they...

We found it at the local Toys 'R US, but I'm sure you can order it from amazon.com or some of the other retailers. If Blockbuster has a copy, ask them if you can buy it used, they seem to clear out DVD's fairly often, and it's a good way to save some cash if they're selling what you like.

Those Kuwaitis, collectively, know which side of the bread their butter is on. [EDIT: Between May 20th and ] June 1st, they uncoupled their currency from the dollar, sold off dollar reserves, and are re-pegging. Was Ron was prescient? Or did he find the right "Kuwaitis" to comment?

I find that odd... ANY ambivalence I had fled with the appearance of children. Want to mess with me? I might just take it and keep my mush shut. Want to enslave my kids? Different story altogether. I won't live long enough for the kids to curse me one day for having done nothing.

One of the first DVD's I bought for the kids was the whole School House Rock collection. I enjoy the 2 about the revolution, especially the one with the women kicking the men out of the house, handing them their weapons while the lyrics "take your powder, take your gun, report to General...

You make an outstanding point! What is different? The Russians are no longer there (unlike us in the ME). When did we have "blissful peace" and left people alone? How far back do we have to go? You may want to read what a 2-time Medal of Honor winning USMC Major General had to say...

The first attack on the WTC was retaliation for Gulf War I. So sayeth our own intelligence: http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing3/witness_mylroie.htm Wow, Iraq and the Paki's must not have liked us much over that little incident. What AQ has to say about the 10 years after...

Couldn't the defendant just walk into court with some safari books, and a copy of "The Most Dangerous Game", claim the piece was for sporting purposes, and call it a day?

I think "we" could do far better than that. During the Great Depression millions of illegals were deported back into Mexico, and kept out. With the info sharing and technology available to LEOs today, why couldn't some millions be exported/deported back across the border? Once you accomplish...

A lot of good advice above. If it were me, I'd think I wouldn't have any problem at all with the Sargeant, as he seems to have evaluated the situation properly. He even apologized for something not of his doing, which he didn't have to do. We should want more of that type of LEO around. So...

Nice try at semantics. If you DO buy the kool-aid that they we 100+ aircraft, with ground crews and pilots waiting to go just 2 weeks after Pearl, and we got them ready (including building them an airport) halfway around the world in that time, then we must have known the Japs were coming? No...

FOX News actually has a contributing writer (on the net of course) who thinks Paul is right vs. Rudy: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,274174,00.html

Hey now, you should take the entire quote, so you'er not putting words in Rudy's mouth (italics mine): :what::barf:

You only confirm your lack of appreciation for what goes on over there. That 33% isn't involved in a gentlemans disagreement. That 33% isn't like the minority that voted for GHWB against Clinton. They aren't going to go home and say "darn, well maybe next time our guy will win" You may...
