If this insult swapping were clever it wouldn't be a complete waste of
time, there'd be some entertainment value. However neither you, nor
McCall, nor Chomko are entertaining.

Notice also that SUVs are considered "trucks"
only wrt the CAFE quotas, elsewhere, they are normal vehicles (e.g. tolls,
and no-truck lanes). You may view this as democracy in action.

They are also considered "light trucks" for safety reasons. Also, if you pay
attention to the tolls, at least back east, it is usually trucks with more
than two axles (or sometimes more than four tires) which pay extra in tolls.
The Garden State Parkway prohibits trucks north of exit 105, but does allow
vans and pickups.

haha... I posted this last e-mail from a friend's computer, and I
guess he was logged in to google...

What's strange is that I haven't even been posting to this thread that
much, compared to McCall and Chomko. I don't even know what it was
that he snipped of mine.

Speaking of May 25th, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that it
was the forty-fifth anniversary of Kennedy's speech. We got to the
moon eight years later, did it for about three and a half years, and
haven't been back in over a third of a century.

That seems to be the message the Democrats are promoting. "We're Not
George!"

Joe Lunchbox doesn't care. Stop telling me why I shouldn't vote for the
Republicans and tell me why I should vote for the Democrats. "We're not
George" just isn't inspiring.

Now, if Kate Beckinsale said it in a teeny-weenie yellow polka-dot bikini...

And the connection to forcing up minimum wages because business is

The only thing you ever 'point out' is your own ass, Eric.

Just get one of their top people elected who has access to the armed
forces. That would be Cheney. I have heard of self-serving administrations
in the past (i.e. Harding and the Teapot Dome:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome), but this administration is the
most brazen in my lifetime (I was born during Ike).

Rand, he's not agreeing with me per se, he's reading the writing on the
wall. Since you're still in the bathroom of that bar, you might try and
read something besides the writings on those walls! ha-ha

When are you going to get that what you say, think and believe isn't the
gospel truth in some manner where you have you seem to think you have sway
over public opinion here or anywhere, especially in the area of politics.

Trying to claim some sort of guilt by association related to me rather
than discuss the content is yet another form of your ad hominem that you
are once again too dense to grasp. But keep this sort of thing coming as
it is my form of USENET entertainment.

Right, and the GOP hasn't had a major ****-up just yet.
