Somebody needs to do a spin check on that article (I haven't yet). It ain't about the voting booths. They deployed military fighters on 911, and I wish they had done it sooner.

Hard to argue with that

Fifteen for me, but now I have a helluva toybox . I ain't done either

Thanks Froggy. One thing AR and I agree on... Obama really was the firearms salesman of the year

It HAS to be. It's on the Internet . I wouldn't expect this out of the Bush folks, and much less out of the current bunch.

And a spider monkey is a mammal... go figure.

Bingo! Unfortunately, they've made the root word "progress" synonymous with all that is bad. I was hoping the 2008 trouncing would be a wakeup call, but it ain't looking good. If they regain some power, it will be because of a "lesser evil" mentality.

Squirrels and rats are related too. I'll eat me some squirrels, but there ain't enough sauce to choke down a rat.

I had the libertarian republican thing figured out . It may surprise you to know that I am pretty conservative at heart, but not to the point that I hate Social Security and Medicare. My parents worked hard their whole lives, raised their kids... did everything right. They would be in deep yogurt without it right now. There is a long list of reasons why the Dems won everything in 2008. You gotta know that a lot of people that supported that KNEW what kind of damage the Democrats could do when they got in power. They did it anyway because the Republican party LOST them. You and I got screwed unmercifully in the years leading up to 2008, and it was facilitated by our government. All this reminds me of the George Bush billboard that says "Miss me yet?". My answer... yep, sometimes I do.

A third party can't win elections consistently. If they run their own candidates, they will take away from the conservative party. I think the Republicans realize that.

There are nasty tricks on both sides, and I don't like any of it. We can't seem to get the real issues in front of the average american for all the BS. Liberals and conservatives ain't the problem... Republicans and Democrats are. I think you hate what the government is doing right now. I respect that.

That's what a$$holes do. Liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it. I have people that I respect all across the spectrum.

if you have a good one, I may need him too

I live pretty close to you. The biggest problem is finding a good craftsman to fix the problem. You may be better off getting a good roofing company to fix the leak, and a seperate guy to do the drywall stuff. I haven't had the best luck with the jack-of-all-trades types.

You need patio furniture, a camo hat, an AR15 (caliber unimportant), and a bottle of jack Daniels. Set up the patio furniture in the front yard. Sit in one chair, prop the AR15 against another, and sip the Jack Daniels. The whatevers will find another route. May work well for the whatevers living next door too.

Vegetarian: Old indian word for bad hunter

he didn't say gerbils

Somebody needs to bitch slap Roland for this one.

I wish. Just yanked a stump outof the yard with my Trailblazer and a rope. my cityfied girlfriend was impressed. She was gonna dig it out

I forgot to mention... a lot of walking is an understatement. Vegas hotels have thousands of rooms each. It's always a long walk just getting to the front door, and a longer walk to the hotel next door. Wear good sneakers. You'll still probably get a few blisters.

Stupid doesn't go away overnight, especially REAL stupid. It fades away over a period of years

You don't have to worry about wandering off the strip. Downtown is more of a worry if you get away from the bright lights.

In that case, I'll just sit back and watch . I was real stupid when I was 17.

NAB was always my reason for going. Not sorry I'm missing it this year (has nothing to do with vegas). I agree with the nickel and diming at caesars, but still didn't mind staying there

I agree with tnt on this. I'm sure there are some seedy places, especially with the ugly economy there right now, but you don't see it on the strip or Freemont.
