And who could forget Clarence Carter?
What? It's what? Ohhhh....Strokin'
Nevermind.

And how bout that Bob Seger album

"Smokin OP's"

Will Smokin' Joe Frazier be here?

I thought my "OK" was implied. But to make it official...OK.

Open for business, matchmaker?

What's the old saying? It's better to keep quiet and let people think you're igorant, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt? Yea, that's it.

Holy cow! Someone else read this book. This was a great book. I especially liked Katz. He was the star of the show.

I may just read it again now.

First of all, if you send 30,000 more troops into an area, I would hope that you get some results. Second, and most important. Is there an exit strategy in there somewhere? Senior Bush did not take Baghdad for this very reason. He knew there was no viable exit strategy.

So is the answer to stay there indefinitely? How many more American lives are we willing to lose and how much more money that we don't have are we prepared to spend?

Sometimes I just cannot believe the things that people say here. Well listen up, Mr Zap.

Torture is the refuge of the lazy, the stupid, and the pseudo-tough. Why would a tortured man tell you the truth? He will say anything to stop the pain.

And wouldn't you enjoy being a captured American soldier in the hands of an enemy who knows his comrades have been tortured by Americans. I'm sure you would enjoy having your fingernais pulled out one by one; or whatever else they could come up with to get back at Americans.

Mr. Zap, you are inhumane and your arguments are poorly reasoned.

Hope you are right, Leah. But either way I will NOT vote for a Republican come November. Every one of them had a chance to stand up to Bush and tell him he was wrong(and maybe even criminal) on a whole slew of issues. But they all kept quiet, with few exceptions. McCain even caved on the torture issue, signing on with some watered down language rather than a blanket "WE DON"T TORTURE". Very strange coming from someone who experiened torture first hand.

seems like most people on here are more interested in general socializing than trying to focus on meeting a potential significant other.

Don't you have to be a boxer before you can be an x-boxer?

I'm not so sure, leah. The Clintons are master politicians- never to be counted out.

I also must emphasize that though I am not supporting Hillary in the primary, I will support her in the general if she is the nominee. Bush and the spineless Republicans in Congress who have been his rubber stamp have screwed this country up royally.

Whoever the Democrat is, that's who I'm voting for.

The Young And The Restless. For an all news and sports kind of guy this is really out of character.

Of course, they make it easier now because you canwatch Soapnet at night if you're not home during the day.

Victor was cleared of the murder charge. Here's betting that David Chow is the real culprit. Interesting that Victor's estranged wife Nikki is now engaged to David Chow.

Down to 4 now with Edwards out. McCain would have to be the favorite on the Repub side, though don't count Romney out. Many Republicans hate McCain(listen to Rush Limbaugh) and may turn to Romney as the Anti-McCain.

On the Dem side, if you look at recent polls, Hillary is ahead by substantial margins in the big, delegate rich atates- NY, Calif, NJ, Mass. Obama leads in Illinois, his home state.

So though I am personally supporting Obama, signs point to Hillary AT THIS POINT. In politics, a week is forever.

So then we have Hillary vs. McCain. I am a Democrat. You know how I will vote.

Unbelievable that a good deal of the population still thinks that Saddaam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. Bin Laden is probably in the Afghan-Pakistan border area, yet we do not go after him. We've lost thousands of lives and spent billions of dollars invading and occupying Iraq(and still no exit strategy), who had nothing to do wih 9/11 and did not threaten us.

Go figure.

Oh and I'll be voting Democrat whoever the nominee is. A Democrat will eventually end Bush's boondoggle in Iraq. Hopefully, soonner rater than later.

Well thanks for the words of encourgement, cutelil. Especially the humor. Humor is a great remedy.

This is the depression support area, right?

Well anybody ever felt like this? I sometimes have the feeling that if somebody offered me 2 choices:

A) $100 million tax free, or:
B) Cancer and I'll be gone within a year

I'm not sure which one I'd choose.

Right on. Sh-tcan the Loser.

Way too funny Fresh....But yes....
In a previous life he was there.
In fact, i believe he was the unborn
alien child that was delivered.

You all knew about that, didn't you?
