If we're gonna do this, let's do this right. I want to get my bid in for the vending machine rights.

That's like saying because I LOVE Ray Charles' music, I must shoot up heroin, as he did???....
Do you guys really believe your own rhetoric in these postings, or is this just delusional, absurd thinking by otherwise intelligent people because Obama won, George is gone hallelujah, and McCain/Palin lost??? Don't get me wrong, I am sick of BOTH parties most of the time, like lying, spoiled children, I would love to see a truly Independent party take hold with a REAL candidate, but when you have to pick on Obama's musical tastes in order to make a point, that is showing DESPERATION.
yes..but the revenue does not stay here. nm
still no message
Coke vs. Pepsi
In the diet sodas, I prefer Pepsi (in a can). But for regular soda, much prefer Coke!
(I know, I'm a freak.)
Maybe they're falling because Coke is better.

And get a coke and a free ride to the polls all 4 times...
could probably get the same guy to register me all 4 times. Yay. lol.
Hey! I live in Ohio! I didn't get a free Coke! LOL!

May be, I dunno
I think someone was doing that. I only know Sam from her lengthy posts.
I dunno...
...he does not seem like a fighter. Doesn't seem like he would commit us to back our allies, most of which he seems bent on disassociating us from.
He seems like somebody who on 9/11, would have apologized for making them do that to us. You guys seem really mad at the US. How have we offended? How can we make amends?
Wasilla has only 8,000 pop, so even 1 meth lab is a lot and
Yeah... PALIN has lived there since she was 3 and became mayor there so for this place to have 42 meth labs is quite dramatic.
No wonder she rose to the top of her town, the rest were skanky white trash.
I dunno. Ever see that movie...something about....
soylent green? LOL.
I dunno how long it will take but
I am tired of the lies we are being told by most of the "people" in Congress. First we have the original bailout. Well, we all know how THAT went. now, we have bailout money to GM and Chrysler. Then we are told the Feds have "no interest" in running GM. Then, not 2 days later, they oust the CEO of GM. Hmmm. Now TurboTimmy has broad powers to oust CEO's of banks and other companies that are basically too big? What about "mandatory volunteerism"? If I want to volunteer my time to do something, I will. I don't like the Feds telling me when I will volunteer and for what and when. And cap and trade? Sorry, but no. What about the Feds telling the states they cannot use Federal money to pay their debts? The list goes on and on. Not everything is Bush's fault.
I dunno, but I don't blame you. After the big messup....
a few years back, I put my 401K in IRA CD's. If I were a young thing I wouldn't mind leaving it in the stock market, but since a loss a few years back when the stock market went down for a bit...I pulled it all out (I don't have that much more than you do either). At least in an IRA CD in an FDIC protected bank, even if the bank fails you are guaranteed up to 100k by the FDIC.
I believe McCain does understand the way the american economy works better than Obama does. Obama wants to move from capitalism to socialism, and he will kill our economy when he tries that.
That being said...even before Obama came on the scene...I moved mine to a regular IRA CD insured by FDIC. It might not grow as fast, but it won't crater either. :)
Dunno but I think it's kinda cute. n/m

dunno -- musting being the posts are
confuzing?
crack, meth, gangs, guns
Yea, wanting to be an architect is so Nazi and brain washing compared to the crypts and the bloods, welfare and prisons. Do you know what percentage of black men are in prison? What percentage get shot before they are 40? Give me a break. Needing to prepare for the end is just pure racist and you know it.
Let's talk about the 42 meth labs in Wasilla or
the Keating Five or how McCain's daughter voted for John Kerry.
oh hmmm i dunno maybe cause you called me racist?
i have nothing to "lighten up" about
I find humor in so many things, but NOT that
The wasilla meth labs were kept quiet too... and sm
for all the rabid repubs talk about the "media"... nobody really bothered Willow or Brillo or Bristol and nobody really publicized the big anti Palin rally by Alaskan women! You gotta wonder! Palin should keep her piehole closed. She got an enormous break and still screwed up.
Gotta be thankful to her though, for giving Obama more votes.
Finger sandwiches? Gee, I dunno...whose fingers were they? :) sm
The other day a German company came out with "Obama Fingers" - frozen strips of fried chicken. You know, snacky type dealie-bobs.
Unfortunately for this company, they didn't realize that associating fried chicken with a black person isn't considered "PC" and they had to withdraw them from the market. I guess we prolly won't be seeing Obama Watermeloncicles any time soon either. Darn! I was looking forward to that.
Hoo-boy, it's a weird, weird world, ain't it? What would we do without the Stereotype Police?
Cindy McCain did not use meth or crank or cocaine...
she was addicted to prescription drugs. Her crime was getting a doctor to forge prescriptions. She was using regulated narcotics...not illegal narcotics such as meth, crank, crack, or cocaine. And she wasn't dealing.

Wasilla - Meth Capitol Of Alaskatopic posted Mon, September 15, 2008 - 7:57 AM by Joe
Sarah Palin's all American Small Town turns out to be ground zero for meth production in Alaska.
Make one wonder about firing all those Police Officials.
"WASILLA - The Matanuska-Susitna area is the methamphetamine capital of Alaska, according to Alaska State Troopers.
In 2003, authorities uncovered nine meth labs in the area. Last year, the number increased to 42, said Kyle Young, an investigator with the troopers who works with the Mat-Su narcotics team.
Officials with the Office of Children's Services in Wasilla said the problem affects children. The office receives about 40 calls a month from people reporting abuse or neglect involving some aspect of the highly addictive drug."
I suppose the meth labs just sprung up after she was Mayor, eh? (nm)

Troopers dub Mat-Su area the meth capital of Alaska
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASILLA - The Matanuska-Susitna area is the methamphetamine capital of Alaska, according to Alaska State Troopers.
In 2003, authorities uncovered nine meth labs in the area. Last year, the number increased to 42, said Kyle Young, an investigator with the troopers who works with the Mat-Su narcotics team.
Officials with the Office of Children's Services in Wasilla said the problem affects children. The office receives about 40 calls a month from people reporting abuse or neglect involving some aspect of the highly addictive drug.
In late February, the Mat-Su narcotics unit arrested a couple at their Willow home. Michelle Motta said for years she tried to warn authorities that her three young nieces lived in the midst of a methamphetamine operation run by their parents, Phillip Dean and Laura Jackson.
Alaska State Troopers reported finding a "large active meth lab" in a detached garage shop. The house was a frigid mess, with piles of dirty dishes, clothes everywhere and frozen pipes, investigators said.
Through a hatch in the shop floor, the team found an underground room with a meth lab in one corner, as well as old marijuana root balls and lights from a past pot-growing operation.
An investigator said the team didn't find the children at home but saw signs of them there. Motta said the girls - ages 14, 8 and 6 - at times slept in the garage with the lab.
A year ago, the oldest girl detailed the household's rampant drug problems and squalid living conditions in a handwritten letter to a judge.
"My parents grow marijuana and crystal the(y) did the drugs that they bought in front of (my sisters)," the letter begins. "They spent most money on them instead of food or doing laundry. I got left home with nobody there I got left home with drug(g)ies..."
Motta now has custody of her three nieces. The Jacksons are jailed at Mat-Su Pre-Trial Facility in Palmer.
Children sharing homes with meth labs face the risk of contamination, fire, explosion, neglect and hazardous living conditions. Caseworkers report little children complaining of breathing problems from toxic fumes rising off chemicals such as acetone, ammonia and hydrochloric acid.
When authorities surrounded a converted bus housing a meth operation in Big Lake in January, a 13-year-old boy who answered the door bragged that his mom cooked the best meth in the valley, according to the troopers.
During a 2003 bust at a house outside Wasilla, officers discovered five children living inside, all younger than 8 years old.
The calls about meth to children's services in Wasilla accounts for as many as 40 percent of the agency's total monthly child protection calls.
The troopers are aggressively going after meth labs, said Capt. Ed Harrington, the supervisor of the state's drug and alcohol enforcement unit.
"It's just not a simple process," Harrington said. "Just because somebody calls in and says 'So and so's cooking meth' doesn't mean we're going to kick the door in the next night."
