Gators leads nation with 9 picks

April 29, 2007 Florida beat Ohio State -- again. Six Gators were taken on the second day of the NFL draft, giving the national champions nine players selected in the seven rounds, the most of any school. The runner-up with eight picks was Ohio State, which lost to the Gators in the BCS title game in January.

Gators taken Sunday were defensive tackles Marcus Thomas by Denver and Joe Cohen by San Francisco, both in the fourth round; cornerback Ryan Smith by Tennessee, also in the fourth round; and receiver Dallas Baker by Pittsburgh, running back DeShawn Wynn by Green Bay and linebacker Brandon Siler by San Diego, all in the seventh round.

Among the prominent Gators undrafted were quarterback Chris Leak and linebacker Earl Everett.

Dallas Baker WR 7 (227) Pittsburgh

Joe Cohen DT 4 (135) San Francisco

Earl Eeverett OLB FA Cincinatii

Chris Leak QB FA Chicago

Jamelle Cornelius WR FA Buffalo

Brian Crum LB FA Still weighing offers

Steven Harris DL FA Denver

Reggie Lewis CB FA Buffalo

Ray McDonald DT/DE 3 (97) San Francisco

Jarvis Moss DE 1 (17) Denver

Reggie Nelson S 1 (21) Jacksonville

Brandon Siler LB 7 (240) San Diego

Ryan Smith CB 6 (206) Tennessee

Marcus Thomas DT 4 (121) Denver

DeShawn Wynn RB 7 (228) Green Bay


That's four players to The Denver Broncos, three players to The San Francisco 49'ers, and two players to The Buffalo Bills.

We had nine players drafted which is the most by one college this year.

OH, MORGAN!

JUNIOR MEETING MORGAN AND MIKE

JUNIOR'S GRAND AM FLANKED BY TWO TRANS AMS

MORGAN'S TRANS AM WS6

DIEHARD GATOR FAN

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!

It is 5:55 a.m. and dark out at 52.0 degrees, and calm. Patrick is still in bed.<p> Junior, Patrick and I road tripped our way to Lafayette, Ind. to meet and greet with the drivers from the Spike TV show "Bull Run", a road rally reality show, and to look over their cars. There were four vehicles and five teams there. And more buxom beautiful blondes than I've seen on one place in a long time.

Junior got a Bull Run T-shirt signed by all the drivers and got to meet hot 24 year old Morgan and her Father Mike who ran a WS6 on the show and we suspect might have won (Show is still airing). The show is patterned after the real Bull Run, which is limited to 100 participants and runs from Maine to Florida every year.

Anyway, on the way up we saw a car with a GATORS decal and exchanged chomps and "GoGators" with the driver. And while in Dick's looking at Kayaks, we chatted with another Gator who showed us his Gator Tattoo--(We know each other by our ball caps)

For lunch in Delphi, at a little mom and pop's, we enjoyed the WORLD'S LARGEST BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN, and it was perfect!! Their own breading, and home-made onion rings. And they gave us free cake as it was their one-year anniversary. Waitress showed us a photo of their FOUR POUND hamburger on a huge bun that they baked themselves...

Found a few caches on the way, and hid a few, and met some cachers we knew on the trails. Patrick got his travel bug discovered.

Good Saturday!

CLASSROOM DESKS

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School
in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with permission of the school superintendent, the principal and
the building supervisor, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.

The kids came into first period, they walked in, there were no desks.
They obviously looked around and said "Ms. Cothren, where's our desk?"
And she said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.

They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades." "No," she said.

"Maybe it's our behavior." And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior." And so they came and went in the first period, still no
desks in the classroom.

Second period, same thing, third period. By early afternoon television news crews had gathered in Ms. Cothren's class to find out about this
crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of the classroom. The last period of the day, Martha Cothren gathered her class. They were at this
time sitting on the floor around the sides of the room. And she says, "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the desks
that sit in this classroom ordinarily." She said, "Now I'm going to tell you."

Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it, and as she did 27 U.S. veterans, wearing their uniforms, walked into that
classroom, each one carrying a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows, and then they stood along the wall. And by the time they
had finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time I think perhaps in their lives understood how they earned those desks.

Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. These guys did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here
responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it."

My friend, I think sometimes we forget that the freedoms that we have are freedoms not because of celebrities. The freedoms are
because of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, who loved this country more than life itself, and who not only earned a school desk for
a kid at the Robinson High School in Little Rock, but who earned a seat for you and me to enjoy this great land we call home, this wonderful
nation that we better love enough to protect and preserve with the kind of conservative, solid values and principles that made us a great nation.

"We live in the Land of the Free because of the brave"

Quote of the week

“One thing that [Iraqi war theater commander Gen. David Petraeus] reminded us was, this [war] is a test of wills, and he admonished us... that what we say to the world, to our adversaries and our allies, is listened to by the other side... It must come as a shock to al-Qa’ida leaders to have an aide come into their safe house and tell them that Senator [Harry] Reid has declared that, in fact, they are winning and the war is lost. I think it’s highly irresponsible for the leader of the U.S. Senate to have said that and, just speaking for myself as the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee, I think that the leader of the Senate should step down from that position.” —Congressman Duncan Hunter, California Republican, on Wednesday, after Gen. Petraeus’ closed-door congressional briefing sessions

Emphasis above added by Trader Rick. The drive -by media is so powerful. Unless he does something to disgrace himself, they continue to ignore all but the liberal Republican candidates, e.g. McCain, Guliani and what's her name.

She said ABC wanted to sign her to a three year contract and she only wanted one, and so they are parting ways. BaBa Wahwah (Who OWNS the show) said she had nothing to do with the negotiations.

Do they think we're that stupid? Well, no , but what else could they say?

Rosie is a LIAR. Walters is a LIAR (to save her face).

Rosie was fired.

Of course not.

From the Patriot Post:

EDITORIAL EXEGESIS

”D For Defeatism: Party Of Retreat: The Senate’s top Democrat has announced to terrorists a U.S. surrender in Iraq. Considering our new strategy’s documented successes, Harry Reid’s determination to lose is practically treasonous. In a week that saw the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, and a Senate committee subject the attorney general to a modern-day Salem witch trial, the Senate majority leader managed to say something that made headlines: ‘This war is lost,’ the Nevada Democrat told reporters Thursday, ‘and this surge is not accomplishing anything.’ That’s odd. According to the Pentagon, the influx of tens of thousands of troops, accompanied by a new strategy focused on counterinsurgency, and led by a new commander, Gen. David Petraeus, is accomplishing plenty. Over the past six weeks, as the Baghdad security plan has been implemented, attacks on civilians in the city have been cut roughly in half. Civilian casualties are down almost a quarter nationwide, with attacks on civilians off 17%. Only in north-central Iraq did violence grow...Reid has instead given moral support to the terrorists. His ‘leadership’ has been to try to cut off our forces’ war funding. Now he has told the Islamofascists that victory is theirs if they can just keep blowing up U.S. soldiers and Iraqi citizens a little while longer. In aiding and comforting the enemy in wartime, Reid has betrayed the office he holds, shamed the Nevadans he represents and made the Democratic Party he leads synonymous with surrender. There is one way he can repair the damage he’s done to the nation: step down.“—Investor’s Business Daily

NEW MEMBER OF THE TRAITORS' CLUB?

Senator Harry (My hands are up and I've dropped my weapon) Reid is rapidly building up his resume to join the likes of such heroes of the Left as Jane Fonda and John F. Kerry. His statement that we have lost the war, I 'm sure, is comforting to the jihadists. His party's calling for surrender and retreat can't quite be characterized as Treason, or can it?

Here is some testimony that can be used at his impeachment trial for Treason:

Senator Reid:
When you say we've lost in Iraq, I don't think you understand the effect of your words. The Iraqis I speak with are the good guys here, fighting to build a stable government. They hear what you say, but they don't understand it. They don't know about the political game, they don't know about a Presidential veto, and they don't know about party politics.
But they do know that if they help us, they are noticed by terrorists and extremists. They decide to help us if they think we can protect them from those terrorists. They tell us where caches of weapons are hidden. They call and report small groups of men who are strangers to the neighborhood, men that look the same to us, but are obvious to them as a foreign suicide cell.

To be brief, your words are killing us. Your statements make the Iraqis afraid to help us for fear we'll leave them unprotected in the future. They don't report a cache, and its weapons blow up my friends in a convoy. They don't report a foreign fighter, and that fighter sends a mortar onto my base. Your statements are noticed, and they have an effect.

Finally, you are mistaken when you say we are losing. We are winning, I see it every day. However, we will win with fewer casualties if you help us. Will you?

Respectfully,

LT Jason Nichols, USN

Snipers in Afghanistan Get New Rifle

Army News Service | Matthew Leary | April 23, 2007

FORWARD OPERATING BASE SALERNO, Afghanistan (Army News Service, April 23, 2007) - Soldiers from Task Force Fury are the first in a combat zone to receive a new sniper rifle, the XM110 semi-automatic sniper system.

The new rifle has several new features, the most prominent being an improved rate of fire.

"It's semi-automatic, so it allows for rapid re-engagement of targets," said Staff Sgt. Jason R. Terry, a sniper instructor with the U.S. Army Sniper School.

Older rifles such as the M24 Sniper Weapon System are bolt-action weapons that require the user to manually feed another round into the chamber after each shot. The automatic firing capabilities of the SASS will decrease lag time in between shots, Staff Sgt. Terry said.

A metal tube that fits over the barrel of the rifle also significantly reduces the signature blast and eliminates the small cloud of dust that rises off the ground from the gases emitted through the barrel.

This advancement will make locating snipers in the field, even after they have fired a shot, difficult for enemy forces, said Staff Sgt. Terry.

THE GIPPER ON ARMS

“There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism—government. Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan

This whole IMUS firing thing has set a dangerous precedent. Granted what Imus said was extemely mean spirited and directed against the wrong target; granted he SHOULD have apologized for it. But it was NOT a racist remark, in our opinion. And the nappy headed ho that said she was "scarred for life" committed a far more egregious asshole remark than Imus did.

Beacause now White Men everywhere are in mortal fear of their jobs should they offend the Black Racist Intimidators.

We have here in INdiana a high ranking state cabinet member who stated in a Republican meeting that blacks were slaves to the Master of the Democrat Party. OMG!!!!

Well, it's true--these black sheeples vote 90% democrat--and well they should--they know what side of the welfare bread is buttered. Sorry folks, that's the truth. It has nothing to do with race--the Republican Party freed them from slavery and offered them the best opportunities for over a hundred years, and the democrat party did its damnedest to keep segregation in place, but that's not important to them--It's the welfare dole, that keeps them slaves to the democrat party.

So now some self-apppointed black lynch party demanded and got a hearing with this poor white guy to hear his public apology for offending them. And he caved, the dastardly coward. So who's the racist intimidators now? Not the Klan. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their minions that they've trained to stick it to the White man.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, are sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court made it's first decision eroding the Roe vs. Wade precedent.

The Court upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion.

This is why we need to vote for a Republican for President, no matter how onerous he may seem. History will judge our civilization on how we treated our people. We have erased the stain of Slavery. Now we must erase the stain of baby murder.

G.W. Bush's two appointees to the Supreme Court allowed this victory for humanity. A future moderate Republican President may not appoint conservative or strict constructionist jurists. but a democrat President most assuredly will appoint baby-killing Godless commies.

It's unfortunate that the Supreme Court has been allowed to seize the disproportionate power it now enjoys. But until that changes, we must be vigilent in assuring conservative judges be appointed in the future.

This opens the way for the overturning of the most onerous decision the Supreme Court of the United States has ever made.

The descenting Associate Justices should be ashamed of themselves and have forever sealed their legacy in history as cowardly protectors of murderers.

Thank you President Bush, and

Praise theLord--We Shall Overcome!

April 18, 2007

(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which specializes in constitutional law, today applauded the Supreme Court for its decision to uphold the national ban on partial-birth abortion and outlaw the gruesome procedure. The ACLJ filed amicus briefs in both cases before the Supreme Court – including one on behalf of some 80 members of Congress and more than 320,000 Americans.

“This is a monumental victory for the preservation of human life,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ, which litigates pro-life issues. “By rejecting the lawsuits challenging the national ban, the high court demonstrated that this gruesome procedure has no place in the medical community. We’re delighted and encouraged that a majority of the high court determined that it was time to bring an end to what only can be described as infanticide. This decision represents an important shift in the ongoing battle to protect human life and represents a very significant pro-life victory in the abortion debate.”

The ACLJ has been very active in supporting the government’s defense of the federal ban and has filed a brief in the Nebraska case on behalf of some 80 members of Congress along with more than 320,000 Americans. The ACLJ also filed a brief in the case out of California.

The 5-4 ruling came in the consolidated cases of Gonzales v. Carhart (05-380) and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood (05-1382).

Well, you just had to know the gun-control moonbats would come out from under their rocks after the Blacksburg Massacre.

Paul Helmke, our former mayor, now Chief Useful Idiot of Handgun Control Brady Bunch got his 15 minutes of fame making a fool of himself on TV yesterday.They really picked a loser.

Rosie acted out a bizarro rant on the View. She stated that Columbine "cut her off at the knees" (We didn't know she had children at the school, we thought she lived in Hollyweird). She said that she devoted five years of her life to trying to get gun control legislation passed, and failed. She lamented that gun-control will NEVER be passed in America, because Americans are assholes controlled by the NRA. (or words to that effect) For someone who devoted five years of their life to cause she sure doesn't know much about it. She throws terms like AK-47 around in her rants. You know, you can't just go out and buy an AK-47, right? But you should be able to. Here's why:

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

AMENDMENT II

A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, BEING NECCESSASRY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

OK. This is not about self-defense. This is not about Rabbit Hunting. This is about BLOODY REVOLUTION!!

The militia is not the National Guard--Nor is it an angry mob. It is the body of people, armed, ready to band together to throw off the shackles of an oppressive government. That's what the "security of a free state" is all about. It's Sherwood Forest with longbows. This right is an INDIVIDUAL right.

The framers of the Constitution were Rebels, who had risked their blood and treasure to throw off the yokes of an oppressive government, and they understood that free people must have the ability to do that, and that's the reason for the Second Amendment--It ensures all the other rights. AND it can't be amended or changed without throwing out the ENTIRE constitution, since the passage of the Constitution was contingent upon passage of the Bill of Rights .

Now it is of course against the law to overthrow the government, or indeed to even advocate it. Those who make BLOODY REVOLUTION are hanged if they don't win. If they do win, they get to make the new governement. You see, it not about the score, it's whether or not you win.

The second American Revolution occured 1860-65, and the rebels lost. They wern't hanged but they sure were punished badly...

Anyway in 1787, your "arms" were a musket with knife attached and maybe a horse and flintlock pistol. That's what the government foreign mercenary troops had, as well.

Americans whould be allowed to possess whatever weapons the modern government infantry man has, to include fully automatic rifles, machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, etc. to be on a par with government soldiers, should it come to that. How else can we make BLODDY REVOLUTION if we need to?

If the Government decides to Waco or Ruby Ridge us, can we stand up with just deer rifles and pickup trucks against black helicopter gunships?--- You bet we can--but not if they take our handguns away...

ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT UNTIL BAGO BASH!!!

Well, speak of the devil, here he is. back in a few.<p> OK, now Earthdog is outside. Speaking of Earthdog, he was a bad boy at Pokhagon State Park campground last Saturday. He took off after a squirrel and ignored our frenzied screams for him to desist. Junior said he never saw him move so fast, he covered several hundred yards in about three seconds. Junior said he kept up with the squirrel for a long distance. All I could think of was wandering around the woods for three days, in the snow, calling for him, the little turd. He's a nappy headed little ho.

Speaking of nappy heads, we ate at Wendy's Sa turday. I always get the same thing off the Value menu, altho I see now it's the "Super" Value Menu: Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, Small fries and Chocolate Frosty Dairy desert. This time I added a cup of Chili, since it was snowing. There was a surprising amount of meat in the chili, altho I couldn't identify what kind. I think when they bus the tables, they save any uneaten portions of hamburgers for Chili use. Come to think of it, since the customers clean up after themselves, maybe they get it outa the trash bins before taking them to the dumpster. Just Kidding!!! Don't sue me!

I think Imus got screwed. Some people who agree with me have charged the networks with "caving" into the Afro-American Racists. I don't agree. They are free to make whatever stupid decisions they want to based on business considerations, even tho they really shot themselves in the foot over this one. I hope Imus gets back on somewhere, altho I doubt it will happen.

Now that the dust is clearing on the Virinia Tech campus, self-righteous assholes in the media and public arena, including Mike Savage (aw, com'on!) are wondering why the campus was not sealed after the first shootings, and the Chink allowed to wander around for two hours before going on his rampage. For crying out loud! It was a domestic dispute type murder. This happens every week in the city up north of here. They don't seal down the city for every murder. Who could have predicted that the perp would pull off a massacre? No one. Usually they just flee. These jerks are looking for someone to blame other than the shooter. Mike, it's beneath you.

OK, so now doggie has taken up his position at my feet, curled up on his afghan in front of the Space heater.

Well one of those limey princes just dumped his girlfriend of four years. Now the breakup is all over the British tabloids. How must she feel? On track to be a rich princess or Queen or something when you go to bed--in the morning just another nappy headed ho. Life has dealt her a cruel blow--Oh well. And she's just so cute, and with dimples! What's that nappy headed Prince thinking?

This week’s ‘Alpha Jackass’ award

“We Democrats should’ve been unapologetic last week defending Speaker Pelosi because the truth was on our side: She had a right to go and she was right to go. The coordinated attack on her trip to Syria was as inappropriate as it was irresponsible. And when that happens to one of our leaders, we should all damn well stand up and be counted in our support, or else we hand partisan operatives on the other side a dangerous victory.” —John Kerry, who also “represented” the U.S. to the North Vietnamese in Paris in 1970

From the Patriot Post:

EDITORIAL EXEGESIS

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered an excellent demonstration [last week] of why members of Congress should not attempt to supplant the secretary of state when traveling abroad. After a meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Ms. Pelosi announced that she had delivered a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that ‘Israel was ready to engage in peace talks’ with Syria. What’s more, she added, Mr. Assad was ready to ‘resume the peace process’ as well... Only one problem: The Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message. ‘What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel,’ said a statement quickly issued by the prime minister’s office. In fact, Mr. Olmert told Ms. Pelosi that ‘a number of Senate and House members who recently visited Damascus received the impression that despite the declarations of Bashar Assad, there is no change in the position of his country regarding a possible peace process with Israel.’ In other words, Ms. Pelosi not only misrepresented Israel’s position but was virtually alone in failing to discern that Mr.Assad’s words were mere propaganda... The really striking development here is the attempt by a Democratic congressional leader to substitute her own foreign policy for that of a sitting Republican president. Two weeks ago Ms. Pelosi rammed legislation through the House of Representatives that would strip Mr.Bush of his authority as commander in chief to manage troop movements in Iraq. Now she is attempting to introduce a new Middle East policy that directly conflicts with that of the president. We have found much to criticize in Mr. Bush’s military strategy and regional diplomacy. But Ms. Pelosi’s attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish.” —The Washington Post

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter circulating the internet, from an Iowa resident sent to his senator -- and if it's not, interesting concept!!)

The Honorable Tom Harkin
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Phone (202) 224 3254
Washington DC , 20510

Dear Senator Harkin,

As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get
the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.

Anoth er benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.
&n bsp; Thank you for your assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent,
Donald Ruppert

From the Patriot Post:

“Renowned metallurgist Rosie O’Donnell proclaimed on TV last Thursday that Sept. 11, 2001, was a more significant date than most of us realized. It was, in her words, ‘the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel.’ This, of course, came as news to steelworkers, blacksmiths, firefighters, manufacturers of samurai swords, and other fools who hadn’t realized that steel is forged in magic furnaces using dragon breath and pixie dust...O’Donnell focused on World Trade Center Building 7, which has become the grassy knoll for 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Asked if the government was responsible for its collapse, she coyly replied that she didn’t know. All she knows is that it’s ‘impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved’ and that, for the ‘first time in history, steel was melted by fire.’ Wink, wink. For the record, fire can melt steel, and buildings also collapse when heat weakens steel. But that misses the point. The point is we shouldn’t have to argue with crazy people. Regardless, it appears that not even the heat of ridicule can weaken O’Donnell’s steely resolve to make an idiot of herself.” —Jonah Goldberg

Random thoughts:

Do you think "Barry" Obama-rama deep in his heart believes he's qualified to be POTUS?

Junior says the recent episode of LOST, which we call "Island Girls Gone Wild", in which Kate and Julia engage in a Mud Fight among other things, shows on HDTV close ups that Julia has a flawed complexion.

He still thinks Kate is the (currently alive) hottest character on the show, while I have moved to Juliet. I base my opinion on three things that I find attractive in the female form that Juliet has in abundance and Kate really lacks: Tits, ass and hips. (I don't count the little saline sacks that Evangeline obviously had inserted into her bosums over the summer hiatis).

Speaking of beauty contests, we have finally come up with a decision regarding Still Standing's Jamie Gertz and What I Like About You's Jennie Garth--While Blond Jennie is perfect in every way, we think Brunnette Jamie's smoldering hotness wins out...

We got his placemat that shows little portraits of all the Presidents.

Here's the skinny on presidential facial hair:

1. Mutton Chops (2): J.Q. Adams, Van Buren
2. Beard Only (1): Lincoln
3. Mutton Chops & Mustache (1): Arthur
4. Full beard and Mustache (4): Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison
5. Mustache only (3): Cleveland, T. Roosevelt, Taft

All clean shaven since Taft...

We need another president with a beard, I think...

EASTER MONDAY

It is 7:02 a.m. and 30.9 degrees out. Patrick is still in bed.

Random Thoughts for today:

Nancy Pelosi is a great example of an undistingished individual being thrust into a position of power and failing miserably. We haven't seen anything like this since "Jimmah Carter".

Speaking of Carter, he is proving to be an even more inept ex-president as he was a president. He took the oath of office as "Jimmah" and insisted that that was his name. What a tool. So I found this 99-cent placemat with little paintings of all the Presidents, so I bought it to use at the computer desk because I eat and drink here so often. It listed the 39th President as "James Earl Carter, Jr." Bet that burns his ass. Wish he just keep to growing peanuts and building houses.

OK , Stink-dog is up, I've got to let him out. brb

OK, I'm back.

Fred Thompson is looking better and better as a Republican Presidential candidate...

Saw Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Hanoi, and his wife Teresa heinz catsup Kerry on the tube yesterday. Skerry has jumped on the Global Warming/Green network. Stealing Algore's thumder. Except, he announced we have only ten years until the end of the world becomes a done deal, irreversable. Too bad.

Thank you Lord for another beautiful day on our wonderful blue and green orb.

I think the UK has really botched their hostage deal. And letting the marines sell their stories to the tabloids? Come on. I can't get over the videos of them playing ping pong and laughing. Personally, I don't think I would hold up well under torture--but I like to think if my captors told me to smile for the camera, I would try to make the smile at least a little twisted or fake, so people that knew me could tell, and I would stealthily try to blink SOS, so that I could show that to people if I got released...I can't fault them, but something doesn't seem right here.

Shock Jock Don Imus is in a world of hurt over his ill-conceived comments about the Rutgers Womens' BB team. He thought they were kinda ruff looking with all their tatoos and called them "nappy headed hoes". Now, all the Black Racists are crawling out of the woodwork saying he's a bigot. He's not a bigot. He insults everybody, harshly--only this time it was just a little over the top harsh, and undeserved. He's apologized and that should end it, as far as we're concerned. He's been doing this for twenty years-- If he called a mens' team, that was all white (I know, no such thing) redneck whoredog crackers or something--would there be all the outrage? Maybe-- I don't know.

OK, little white dog has settled in on his afghan, at my feet, in front of the space heater.

I have quit buying Aldi's cheap instant decaf. It just tastes too BAD. I need a strong coffee to counteract the bitterness of the White tea/green tea teabag I put in it to get my TGIF or whatever is in there that's good for me. So now I have to buy expensive Folgers... At least it's good to the last drop--but that last drop:arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!! Later.
