  1. Maybe Obama should have added a but or an if, into his statement about closing Gitmo.
  2. If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

    What if?

    Hopefully, they would enact an alcohol subsidy, so that those who couldn't really afford it, could get in on the fun, of the Asteroid/Earthquake/Tsunami/Volcano party.
  4. Someone please explain, why absolutely no bad news is coming out of the Dominican Republic. Sorry, but a 7.0 earthquake, isn't just going to stop, at the border.
  5. Sadly, germaphobic people can't grasp the proper seasoning of cast iron cookware......Never, ever, use soap.... It will destroy months of good seasoning.
  6. I've done quite a few showers, but that's not all that I do. One of the most important things to do, is to put a mildly sloping mudbed under the shower pan. This prevents moisture from building up, in any existing low spots, in the original floor. This is the main cause of rotted wallboard and framing. If you can get your hands on a laser level, it'll help you set a level elevation, for your final mudbed. Next, try to check the plumb of the shower walls.... Nothing looks more ametuerish than having a 1/2" runout, from top to bottom. USE CEMENT BOARD, FOR THE WALLS. At this point, if possible, try to figure your finished roughin, to accomodate full tiles, on all walls. The old timers, seemed to know how to do this. One of the best little tools, for the actual laying of tiles, are the little plastic wedges, found, in the tile section, with those little cross spacers. They are absolutely necessary, if you are laying stone, instead of ceramic tile.
  7. Well, it was Global Warming, until they realized that it wasn't actually getting warmer. Then, the name was changed to Climate Change.
  8. Apparently, though, Reid only got the Reader's Digest Condensed version, of PC training...Why was the word even in his personal lexicon?
  9. Why would we put any stock into someone who changes the rules, in the middle of the game, just because they realize that the outcome isn't going to be in their favor?
  10. Now, we're talking.... Recently, I went to renew the tags, on my trailers....All tags have been doubled in cost...I was not happy about it, but knowing that every person, who drives a car, has been hit, equally, makes me feel much better.
  11. You really are disturbed by anyone, who seems to catch a lucky [Irony, indeed] break, aren't you? Honestly, if you could become a One Hit Wonder, which, at this point, in life, is extremely doubtful, wouldn't you? and you'd be playing your base, to the last dollar. Why can't you just ever say,"Good on him, for hitting it big", whoever it is?
  12. My, My... You are, suddenly, concerned about someone, in a useless profession, not reaching his full potential. How ironic.
  13. How many times have I come up against a college educated superintentent, who couldn't match me, stroke for stroke, in the ability with my hands, or my mind, yet, because of a piece of paper, he was paid three times as much, and did a tenth of the work, and without me, he'd be on the street. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, but I despise the concept of the union...Especially, today's union mentality....I'm the man who never says can't or won't or don't. Sadly, some of us, just have an inate ability to figure the angle of the dangle, without a college degree, but are restricted, due to regulations, mostly imposed by those who think that their field of expertise is so precious, they need to protect it.
  14. Liberals have really planted the flag, on the hilltop, on the War on Poverty, haven't they....Sure hate to lift that constituency out of the doldrums of poverty.
  15. I recognize that no company can operate, without acting as an entity. The problem with your concept and the whole concept of pure socialism is the inate human problem of selfishness, greed and entitlement. How many times have I come up against a college educated superintentent, who couldn't match me, stroke for stroke, in the ability with my hands, or my mind, yet, because of a piece of paper, he was paid three times as much, and did a tenth of the work, and without me, he'd be on the street. Shouldn't I be paid a portion of this man's salary, because, in reality, he's useless, without me. On the other hand, with a bit of training, I could do his job. Here's the solution to your problem. Start your own business. And just for giggles, and the challenge, go out and hire union workers, to get the business off the ground. After all, they are all about fair distribution of the work. At the end of the day, when it's all over, tell your kids, "Sorry, but you didn't do anything to make me rich."
  16. Hey, Lucky, how many handles do you have, on this website?
  17. The eye has said, to the foot.........
  18. So the panic over millions of people dying, becuase of global warming, is a farce..... I thought so.
  19. Who's kool aid have you been drinking?....The majority of all politicians, are selfish, self promoting, self agrandizing pigs, who have no accountability, when it comes to feeding at the public trough. A true servant of the people, lives on what the people he serves, allows him to have, not what he can vote for himself, to pocket, and live far above the standard of those, he has sworn, usuallly falsely, to serve. The difference between Rush and a politcian, is, at the end of the day, many people and businesses have profitted from using Rush, as a promotional tool.... Politicians only show a profit, for themselves, while robbing those, they are sworn to serve. Apparently, you find great pleasure, in that mentality.
  20. Maybe he's into stimulating the economy, instead of just have sex with an ordinary, everyday slut.
  21. Just wondering. If a man, who can drive a nail through two boards, calls himself a carpenter, then, teaches the same, to someone else, does that really make the second person a carpenter, or the first?
  22. You do all that, between sitting at the keyboard, 24/7, and slamming out insults at conservatives?.... You truly are an amazing man. Tell us your secret.
  23. It's about a group of people, so called "scientists", using govt. funding, to perpetrate the grandest fraud, of all time, upon the rest of the people, so that they may make a huge profit, with "green" technology. You know, if they had to seek private funds, for their work, they'd all be out, getting a real job.
