I'm not sure I could think of too many worse choices.

Maybe Murtha?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I sure hope you pronounced that with a soft g in the middle of Genghis.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Did he die?  Hmm.  Obviously he impressed himself so positively on my psyche that I failed to mourn his loss. :lol:

Kerry... sounds about right for our President.  Susan Rice is being bantered about by the media for Secretary of State which is the position that Kerry was supposed to want.  I can't think of a worse choice for Secretary of State, but Rice will certainly be a "yes woman" for the President without question.  It took major gonads to go on all the Sunday talk shows with the Benghazi story that she had to know was false.

She's a natural for Secretary of State, being that she's experienced in communicating and visiting with our enemies...

I'd change the channel but the 11 of us here voted 9 to 6 to take the batteries out of the remote control and give them to the jobless guy on the couch for his new phone.

You're just trying to suppress the vote and disenfranchise people !!!


Back to the OP.  I'll be over in the corner curled up in the fetal position.  The only upside is getting John Kerry out of the senate.   Maybe MA can regain their senses and send a (R) back to the Senate.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I just saw Susan Rice is a front runner for Secretary of State. With both her and Kerry in, we're likely to surrender to the French.

Don't forget the ino after that (R) if they come from MA.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

That is an awfully hawkish job for somebody who claims he threw his medals away in 1971.
