    So putting on a red bandanna was all the cover union workers needed to 'commit evil'? Tell me: what's so evil about wanting safe working conditions instead of dying underground, and wanting an honest day's pay for an honest day's work?

    I'd suggest that the true evildoers were the owners who were willing to let workers die in their mines, because instituting common-sense safety precautions might have cost them a few pennies of each dollar's worth of profit they made.

    Nope.... never knew that about you. It must've been someone else you told.

    How about us folks who've been listening to him off and on for years, and still consider him a disgusting, racist pig -- not to mention a hypocritical, pill-popping drug addict. And of course, a laughable defender of 'family values' as he churns his way through multiple wives, and vacations in the Caribbean with ****** from prescriptions under phony names....

    But I wouldn't call Rush unintelligent. He figured out a long time ago how to butter his bread by appealing to the worst in the hearts of Americans, instead of the best.

    edit: that's very strange. The best-known medication for erectile dysfunction was filtered out of my post and replaced with a nice little row of asterisks. When did it become obscene to mention a pill that doctors legally prescribe?

    OK, thought about it for a few minutes. I suppose the intent was to filter out spam.....

    Well, I married the best-looking one I could find, instead. As my dad once pointed out: if a woman picks you out of all the men in the world, she's obviously a little bit crazy and needs to be treated gently. So I've tried to be good to her....

    This is Cindy's graduation picture, 37 years ago. I'd post some up-to-date pic's, but they're all on my old laptop that took a dump. I need to round up some more, I guess... but trust me. She's still easy to look at.

    Probably one of Cindy's fondest memories (just guessing; I've never asked her) would have to be the evening in her mid-forties when we were in a checkout line, and the gal behind us asked her, "excuse me; I don't mean to be rude. But are you some kind of a model, or something?" Cindy was wearing old jeans and a turtleneck sweater at the time, with her hair basically just pulled back out of her eyes.

    Three things that can cause you mental anguish:

    monogamy, bigamy and trigonometry.

    Usually trigonometry precedes monogamy. The rest is self explanatory.

    I don't insure my boat, I don't want to be encouraged to buy another bugger after this one sinks.

    Take your time. When they made time- they made a lot of it.

    Well, boat is just an acronym for 'Break Out Another Thousand.' And when you give up on boats, you can go play with a Jeep instead: 'Just Empty Every Pocket.'
