I sat thru the first 3 quarters of the CU game, on a beautiful day in Lawrence, then bailed with the Buffs up by 28. By the time I found an empty barstool at Fre State to order an IPA, some Jayhawk fan shouts that the game is tied.... KU did come back and win, for the biggest comeback in their history. I hope coach Dan and AD Mike are TOAST today in Boulder. In a tribute to Johnman, and an honor I'm sure, I poured myself a Copperhead Ale and served a gooey chocolate brownie before heading out to rake and bag leaves!! I'd prefer not to discuss the sad state of our political treachery, but the Republicans again have pulled the wool over many US citizens, with corporate funding and an endless media blitz.

Great post! My sentiments exactly, though you said it better!!Eloquent badger you are! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

For CU. Blowing a 28 point lead to Kansas in the 4th quarter? yikes.. "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

screw politics, politicians, corporations, and politicians...did I mention corporations or politicians?

Turned into instant-gratification junkies here, CB. Get it done now = get it done last week or last month or last year, and long term = get it done yesterday. It's sometimes comical in my job -- testing things. "How quickly can you get it done?" "The test takes 40 hrs." "But how quickly can you get it done?" "40 hrs. takes 40 hrs. I can't change the speed at which time passes." Dissatisfied co-worker walks away thinking that I'm a jerk or incompetent or both. And maybe I AM a jerk and/or incompetent, but 40 hrs is still 40 hrs.

You folks live in a tough country You choose a guy to lead you who is full of bright ideas He inherits a crock of shit, tries hard, but inevitably falls short of delivering the promised land in just 2 years. So what do you do? Cut off one his legs and say ‘There you go buddy. Lets see how you do in the next two years'’ Merciless? Democracy in action? A spineless loss of nerve? A judicious balancing of the ship? Who knows. This I do know. It may be wise not to trust intellectuals, but that does not make being wilfully ignorant any better.

But do watch the BPs....both the one starting in "blood" and the other one ending in "petroleum."

am dang glad to see you-high BP or not! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

...on the elections? (Sorry to be away friends but some times you have to give it a break).Alan Grayson went down in flames in ther 8th District of Florida. This guys ran a no holds barred political campaign that made a lot of the big-money boys cringe. He shouted out long and hard sabout the war and the economy, the banks -- you name it. Though he unfortunately negged out at the end with some stupid commercials. Speaking of neg. attack ads., They of are now in Vermont where they never used to be. Thank the PACS and the corps.. Elections are such a farce. The government is nothing but the enforcers of the Big Money boys. Think about it. The rich are taking as they like and telling us to shut up. I can only take this shit for so long before I snap. Fuck these vein, ridiculous people. There, see why I have to stay awy? My Blood Pressure just went up 20 points! Seriously though, missing the conversation with you all. ~ Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools ~
