That was before his windfall of success and embarrassment of riches.

Bump For all you guys who got dissed by all the popular girls in high school (me included): My tribute song to the stuck-up girls at Pioneer Central

I'm in the Top 8? Oh, how time flies... Now I can't remember if I've ever complained about this, but the Sirius/XM Radio merger, IMO, was a complete disaster. The lineup is just pathetic for the music channels I used to like. For instance, they had a really cool Dance/Electronica channel (yeah, that's my vice) called "The System" on XM 82. After the merge, they switched it to "Area" on XM 80, which I think is a substantial downgrade from what I was enjoying as I was driving across the country. Yet, they kept "Family Talk" on XM 170 - which is a horribly lame "religious" channel. (I don't even waste my time with that one.) Oh, well. I guess if I have to drive and can't watch the games online, I could always listen to them (and shudder to hear Harry Neale's voice).

That's Islamofascism for you... <_<

You're talking right up my alley. That's actually a wonderful idea. I'm English and Scottish, and I'm all for outright Scottish independence (as a republic). I just hope they don't get any more boneheaded judges who commute the prison sentences of airline bombers.

Glad to know you guys liked my ultimate reality check. ;)

This is a hypothetical situation, so please don't take me seriously right now: I think I'd rather have a Teppo Numminen bobblehead from Team Finland.

There's more hope for Buffalo becoming a conservative Republican town than there is for either the Bills or the Sabres to win the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup.

Who knows? The South may rise again.

One other complaint (and don't blame me if you're asleep at the wheel): Islamofascism.

My complaint: the jack-booted thugs (i.e. ACORN) who have taken over our government (and our country). If you voted for them, you certainly are getting more than you bargained for... :angry: At least I can say, "I told you so." :nana:

Thanks for going to bat for me. :thumbsup:

I'm no Democrat, but I know that there are plenty of Dems who feel like their party's selling them out for some system that is more about controlling the people than letting them decide what's best for themselves. Now I'm hearing about many people who voted for Obama who are now regretting it. At least I can honestly say that I didn't vote for either Obama or McCain.

I hope I'm not the only conservative on this board.

Three complaints: Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot. Labor Unions. Look at how they've driven many companies to the corporate graveyard. The Federal Reserve. One of the worst things that could have ever been instituted in this country (or any central bank in any country, for that matter).

It is so mind-numbing to see how the late, great U.S. of A. is rushing like lemmings into the sea of Fabian Socialism.

The more I think about it, this country died on January 20, 1989.

I think you'd rather be on I-68 right now.

I absolutely HATE driving the entire stretch of I-68. Not sure if any of you have ever been on that stretch of the world's longest roller coaster in West Virginia and Maryland, but it's a PITA when I never get a load that weighs less than 40k pounds and I have to use that road. Bonus feature: whoever designed the incline and decline leading up Sideling Hill on the same Interstate should have been marched off to the Pennsylvania turnpike and given a lecture in civil engineering so that they should have bored a tunnel through that piece of real estate instead of creating a dangerous section of the road. (Sorry about the PITA reference. I just absolutely loathe that highway.)

This was a very brilliant analysis. With all due respect to SwampD, I think he could learn a thing or two from what you stated here.

I wish I could be in Geneva, Switzerland tomorrow for the 500th birthday celebrations of this great Frenchman. Maybe some major media outlet will have some coverage of the festivities. It's just a bummer for me that I have to miss out on it.

Your last name wouldn't be Hoover, would it? j/k Here's my legit complaint. Why is it that there are people who feel so compelled to come out with urban legends that a supercelebrity "accepted Christ" shortly before their death? (While I wish I could provide the proof in the pudding, I saw it earlier this week where a duo called Mary Mary had a posting up on their blog and then someone made a video about it. I actually made a comment on that video, raising the "urban legend" alarm. Apparently, someone caught on that I pointed out that red herring, and now it's gone and nowhere to be found.)

I tried to find evidence of that on Wikipedia. I didn't see it.

Are you willing to look at a much better alternative? I don't put all my trust in them, but I believe that they are looking out for the best interests of not just the country but ultimately the US Constitution. EDIT: I do feel your pain. I was a Reagan Republican. Then again, I have learned a very important lesson: he who trusts in Man is cursed.

Yeah, and even some of their own are calling on Ensign and Sanford to resign from politics altogether. In retrospect, I wish that Larry Craig had done the same thing after his cruising incident at the airport awhile back.
