Go tell that on the Rants board. the bullshit is not allowed. Bet they don't buy it.
BTW the rules have not changed. I have a real email address and Ihub has it too!
excel, Well you started out with Gore and the 'Net, and I agree that was a dumb@ss statement.
I never heard the one about climbing the mountain.
Then you went to the millionaires boys & girls club otherwise known as the Senate.
Then on to the price the govt pays for widgets.
I'm pretty much in agreement with what you are saying. My problem is the budget needs to be BALANCED! And the deficit reduced. Bush seems to think that a tax cut is going to work wonders. My take is somebody is icing down the slope.
Rick, j/k to you. But I have never seen such a love in on a BB before. They should change the name from Rants to Hugs for Dubya.
If you're talking about b*tches I think you'll find them out hugging each other. lol.
gp, Not childish and not an attempt! It was a slam. Childish is talking in riddles in ref. to a sad day. Now go hug the big lug.
You might have and NO!
Excel, Now that is at least a Rant! Disjointed but a rant! BTW I agree about the millionaires club. The last senate election here in NC was something over $20MM combined. Look at the mayor's election in NYC. It has gotten way out of hand!
BTW is this a RANTS board or a Conservative Group Hug Board. Talk about people needing re-assurance. Sheesh!
K2, I guess their advice sucked..........
he is not the brightest bulb on the planet but acknowledges that his strength is finding and assembling a team of experts, listening, and finding the proper path through their advice.
Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill and White House economic adviser Larry Lindsey resigned at the request of President Bush on Friday amid fresh evidence that the economy is performing poorly.

One, No you may not! Now go back track! .....
1. It wasn't a FACT!
2. It ain't MY fact to prove (BTW it's prove not proof).

Here's one for you,

Bull, Shouldn't you be over on the Rants having a love-in with those femi-nazis you like to hang with?
AK, I just read about your trip to the beach.
Two Italians, Luigi and Antonio Kvetch , met on the street.
"Hey, Antonio Kvetch," said Luigi, "Where you been for the past two weeks? No one seen you around."
"Dona talka to me, Luigi," replied Antonio Kvetch. "I been inna jail."
"Jail!" exclaimed Luigi. "What for you been in jail?"
"Wella, Luigi," Antonio Kvetch said, "I was lying onna dis beach, and the cops come, arrest me and throw me inna jail."
"But dey dona throw you in jail just for lying onna da beach!", Luigi countered.
"Yeah, but dis beach was screamin' and akickin' and ayellin'!"
I can see that joke went over her head!
AK, unleass you are a transplant from Brooklyn, you are not allowed to use the word youse. Please refer to youse guys local dialect.
Soxfan, it's a trap.

ksquared, Nice "fact". Now how about backing it up with proof?
Bush's board scores were close to Gore's...
gp, No but thanks for asking! eom
ONEBGG, And message boards have threads. And it's obvious the poster I was responding to couldn't follow it.
ONEBGG, Don't tell me you use lines that a certain terrorist used to relate to?

The debt issue isn't all over with yet. I've learned to pay as much attention to the numbers a company puts out as I do to what an analyst says. But all in all, the charts know mysteries yet undisclosed and the chart doesn't look enticing to me. That's just to me of course.
Best case scenario is 38% retracement from yesterday.
So you do know an insider at the SEC! Oh Harvey I need to talk to you right now!
Susie, The SEC does not care about any rumors started about a non-filing, grey sheet, bankrupt company trading at .0007 that is already under investigation and litigation by them.
Soxfan, we need to be friends. Bud says so...
Selig says cool it
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
Bartolo Colon finally handed in his visa from Canada, there was an outbreak of Matsui Mania, the All-Star Game was given an edge, Hall of Famers were showcased, and a flurry of signings spurred by exchange of arbitration figures ...
Yes, quite a week around the old hot stove.
And in at least one instance, Commissioner Bud Selig apparently tried to turn down the heat.
According to Mike Lupica of the New York Daily News, the commissioner has, figuratively, sent those sniping rivals, Larry Lucchino and George Steinbrenner, to their rooms without supper.
The last couple of weeks, Selig heard Boston president Lucchino diss the Yankees as baseball's "evil empire," and Steinbrenner fire back his "chameleon" assessment of Lucchino.
Lupica:
"At this point, Commissioner Bud Selig calls them both, first Lucchino and then Steinbrenner, and tells them the following: Knock it off.
"The phone calls from Selig are no secret in either the Red Sox offices or the Yankee offices, or around baseball. But there you are. Last week, Selig told them both that he didn't want his owners 'banging away at each other, so no more.'"
Perhaps the commissioner wished to head off another round of Boston venting elicited by the Yankees' perceived intervention in the destination of Colon, the right-handed ace the Expos could not afford.
Colon, sought by the Red Sox, instead went to the Chicago White Sox primarily in exchange for Orlando Hernandez, whom the Bronx Bombers had first dealt to the Pale Hose.
As others did, Lupica interpreted that transaction as another Yankees volley in the public spat: "[Steinbrenner] has continued his obsession with the Red Sox this way: By having the Yankees broker the three-way deal that sent Bartolo Colon to the White Sox and keeping the 20-game winner from going to the Red Sox."
If those maneuvers made the Red Sox unhappy, how do you think defending champion Minnesota, Cleveland and the rest of the AL Central feel?
As USA Today's Mel Antonen reasons, the Colon deal brought about a significant power shift in the division:
"The .500 White Sox finished 13½ games behind the Twins last season, but now the Twins' biggest advantage, starting pitching, isn't a certainty.
"Chicago's first four -- Colon, All-Star lefty Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland and Danny Wright -- won a combined 65 games last season. The Twins have Brad Radke, Eric Milton, Joe Mays, Rick Reed and Kyle Lohse, but if the pitching is even, the Twins have taken a step back.
"That's because the White Sox have an incredible lineup, one that is better than the Twins'."
Seeing their former ace rejoin the division certainly did not delight the Indians, reports Dennis Manoloff of The Plain Dealer:
"'I am not at all happy about this,' Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said. 'How could I be? One of the elite starters in baseball has gone to one of our divisional rivals. I did know that this was a possibility.'"
Montreal GM Omar Minaya, of course, had to part with the 20-game winner to get his payroll closer to his $40 million target. He isn't there yet despite, as CBSsportsline.com's Scott Miller points out, having hoped to do all his slashing with one stroke:
"Most in the industry figured that Minaya would force whichever team won the Colon sweepstakes to take [Fernando] Tatis as part of a package deal and, voila, he'd be done cutting payroll.
"Either [he] couldn't find a reasonable enough companion fare for Tatis to accompany Colon, or he simply couldn't convince the White Sox or anybody else that Tatis is something more than a drastically overpaid [$6 million in 2003] disgruntled guy to have in the clubhouse."
At about the time Colon was on his way to Chicago, MLB club owners were on their way to Scottsdale, Ariz., for their annual meeting, which quickly became eventful.
The laundry list of administrative changes was highlighted by their approval of Selig's proposal (a brainchild of Philadelphia's Bill Giles) that home-field advantage in the World Series go to the winning league in the All-Star Game.
The 30-to-0 vote dramatized how strongly owners feel about the move to lend All-Star Games more impact.
But as The New York Times' Murray Chass wrote, this may have opened up another can of worms between MLB management and players, a number of whom don't appear enthused about the idea of Fall Classic advantage being determined my Midsummer Classic results:
"Selig went forward with the vote even though union officials had apprised him of the negative reaction of the many players whom they had talked to.
"'This is an issue we have debated for eight or nine months,' Selig said. 'This is the fans' game. This is something we're talking about in marketing our sport. The executive council voted on this some time ago. The clubs aren't going to meet again until May, so this was the time.'
"Players generally feel that home-field advantage is too important to be decided by a game that doesn't count in the standings."

Well damn, now there is something we can take to the bank and cash.
I asked him if it was and he said yes, I then asked him to deny it and he wouldn't. (hardly conclusive, I know).

AlanC is too busy with the count too start a rumor. Geesh, I wonder what mortgage he's on?
