Who are we at war with in Iraq? Can't be the Iraqis, they're our ally.

Is the war over and they forgot to tell us?

obama is about as quified to be POTUS as dan quale or spiro agnew. but at least those two were VPOTUS. and created no lasting harm. unlike dhimmi carter.

McCain rallies bikers at Sturgis

An extremely energized Sen. McCain stressed energy independence during brief remarks before more than 20,000 motorcycle enthusiasts Monday night at the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally.

“This is my first time here but I recognize that sound. It’s the sound of freedom and thank you for it,” McCain said as hundreds of bikers revved their engines at a Salute to Veterans rally on the Buffalo Chip campgrounds. “I thank you all very much for that unique Sturgis welcome.”

Lots of them trailer their bikes in. And then park the trailer at the hotel and ride the bikes into town. Thats what some of my friends did.

The world's largest Confederate battle flag unfurled above the intersection of I-10 and I-4 in June

Tampa Confederate Veterans Memorial and its 139-foot flagpole features one of at least four giant "soldier's flags" flying over bumper-to-bumper interstates in Florida and Alabama. With more planned in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and possibly South Carolina, the interstate show of force, experts say, highlights the potential backlash from banning nostalgic symbols from the public square.

It sounds like a comedy bit, but when I was a kid in the 70s, if I didn't like what was on the plate, that was too bad. Either eat it or go hungry.

Then, mom becamse grandma, and there's this generation of kids who say "I don't LIKE that." My mom would then cook them something else.

TIME OUT MOTORCYCLE CAMPING TRAILER 2002

Aafia Siddiqui, who the FBI had sought for several years for terrorism, faces federal charges of attempted murder and assault of a U.S. officer and U.S. employees, federal authorities said.

Afghan police arrested Siddiqui outside the Ghazni governor's compound where they found bomb-making instructions, excerpts from the "Anarchist's Arsenal," papers with descriptions of U.S. landmarks and substances sealed in bottles and glass jars

The 36-year-old Siddiqui is an American-educated Pakistani neuroscientist and a suspected member of al Qaeda. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 20 years on each charge.

I wonder how many people actually know that the Off Shore Drilling ban not standing ban but need to be renewed every year! This current drilling ban expires in September.

re: #62 Tigger2005

Just that Quayle's qualifications dwarf Obamas.

Quayle had 8 years Senator before VP compared to 3, soon to be 4, years for Obama before becoming President.

Quayle was in the House for four years before becoming a Senator. Obama? *crickets*

Quayle also had some private sector experience in the family publishing business. Obama has, as far as I can tell, zero private sector experience.

They are stalling until after the election, and then they will reinstate the ban in January. If any drilling rights are granted in the meantime, they will find a pretext to stop it down the road.

In addition to 300, I also have on DVD The 300 Spartans, the original 1962 epic. It portrayed Xerxes as (how I would term it) "kingly" and even as bad as he was, he wasn't so decadent. Hell, when he was making out with his allied queen, the kisses and embraces were always chaste.
