Gop_guys Now he's over there on "surprise" visit. Maybe he's bringing our boys home. Let Karzai defend himself for a change. No one is a bigger hawk than I. But I say it's time!
Gram77 The good old days. Great talent, great music and was that Cab Calloway as the band leader?

NotaBene Thank you MysteryLover for posting this. It was beautiful. This is a great country, we have to get a good president and start turning it around. Please vote. Do not stay home. Any of our candidates is better than Houssein.

Kono The tank with the moving treads was great, the smoke from the jet engines was neat, and the submerging submarine was downright clever. Details aside, though, the tribute was beautiful. Thanks for the post!
Bettijo This is great! Having been a member of a marching band in college, I know how difficult these formations can be and these were especially elaberate. Congratulations West Virginia University Marching Band.

Rake King He Said he'll make it to Joplin Sunday, after his Europen trip. I guess Joe is off on some secret mission, and the hag from Homeland Security is down measuring the border for a cheaper fence. Nobody is home...when needed.

MysteryLover posted on Suggested Reading The Big Rich, by Bryan Burrough is a boot-stomping good read. It’s about the four men and their families that struck it Big in Oil in Texas. Gutsy, gambling men. Do they still make em this way? The author is slanted left so any comments about conservatism is couched in words like shadowy or nutjob. Just overlook it and enjoy the crazy that can only happen in Texas. One of the men wore bowties made of $100.00 dollar bills, another gave away 93 percent of his wealth in Texas to colleges, hospitals, etc. Edna Ferber modeled Jett Rink in her book and movie Giant on one hard-drinking, fist-fighting Texan in the book. One of the big rich had three families unknown to each other. One big rich was a 5th grade dropout. Enjoy!

StormCnter I've read it and I agree. H.L. Hunt's story, alone, is worth the read. Does any prominent person try to juggle three families, unknown to each other, in this day and time?

- Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. - Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. - The last thing I want to do is hurt you.

Phooey All, I could care less what you think of me. However, when I see abuse of others? then, that is when the hair comes up on my back( like my Lab ). I defended 'Yotty' when 'OTB' attacked her! I do my best according to my conscience. If any are not pleased with me? then pray for me!
MysteryLover posted on Household Hints We have a pesky bathroom sink and have used the usual drain cleaners from the grocery. We happened on Drain Out Crystals and it is magic. Worked in under two minutes and have had no more trouble with water not draining.
Sistersuzey Does it say if you can use it if you're on a sceptic system?
