two words on Kerry was OT-I ain't No senator's son...
A city wide blackout at Wed, 11 Feb 2004 16:18:26 GMT did not prevent Gunner
from posting to rec.crafts.metalworking the following: Speaking of "Jane" photos, there was one of Kerry with Jane Fonda on the tube this AM, trashing the military in the 60's. That oughta help his support with vets ) Greg Sefton Chuckle..that one has already hit most of the vet newsgroups 2 days ago. The brothers are not amused. I have head reports that Democrats feel that Kerry has an excellent chance in the south because of two words: Vietnam Vet. My response is, Kerry doesn't stand a chance because of two words: "Jane Fonda". -- pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

Gunner Missed that , but I did see stills of it in Mexican under ground rags. back then. Must have been a sight ! You must have had some very mature girls , I can't imagine them wanting to go there. I was shocked at that area. I use to fill up and the cans in the trunk @ something like 20 cents a gallon of gas and add AV gas and Marvel Mystery Oil. I like the weather there, it was funny how the locals would be wearing coats , gloves, and boots when it got under 60 F. I went to the same high school as Freddy Fender and there was only kickers (cotton farmer kids) , 98% Mexican/pochucos, and one surfer (me). One day I was walking up the middle sidewalk and a line of pochucos blocked my path. I was thinking , oh great my gun and knight stick are in the car and if I turn away I will get in more trouble. So , I went for it and got stopped by the leader in the walkway and he says " I hear your in trouble with the kickers , you just say the word, and I would love to take care of them for you..." I was happy , at least I didn't get killed and 98% of the school is watching. What was really funny is that they built a new school and it had no corners for the kids to neck in anymore. Drug raids and dogs where at least twice a week. I almost rented a huge Apt. on the second floor over in Mex. for $75 a month and it had an automatic door to dive your car into the court yard. There was also an acquaintance down there that had a Cessna 180 with big tires. He would take all the seats out and load up with coolers and fishing rods and fly down the coast into Mexico and land out in BFE and fish for the weekend by himself and come back with big beautiful fish. Now, that sounds like fun to me. |

" Lazarus Long I believe you will find that several of the more ethical members of the Dubya's cabinet did exactly that or wished they had. Even Karen Hughes, the Dubya's right hand truth broker gave up fighting the Rove dogma machine and went back to Texas. Former budget director Mitch Daniels could no longer choke down his opinion that the Dubya's ecconomic policy was from outer space. Paul O'Neal tried to do his duty and bring some reality to the ecconomic policy and got fired for his trouble. Tommy Thompson is on thin ice for refusing to release a report on health care that had been greatly sanitized by Carl Rove.
