do you have a point?

Monty hated Patton so much he cooked up Market Garden?

Have you ever heard of the Gang of Fourteen?

Leak my butt... Just another "National Enquirer" moment, I'm sure orchestrated by someone "inside"... Criminy... is there no depth to which these cretins will go?

I don't know...that is CNN reporting. CNN is in Obama's right back pocket. ABC is in left rear pocket. NBC is in the left front pocket and MSNBC is in his right front pocket. FOX is somewhere around the crack of his rear end known as a lint ball. If it was only FOX reporting, I would be seeing this as another diversion. Is it really? There have been a lot of new reporting on Obama in just the last week. We knew more about Joe the plumber in under two weeks yet we are still finding things out about Obama and this has been going on over 18 months. Things just do not add up here concerning all the byes Obama has received. :hmm: The story is plausible. Do you remeber Jimmy Carters brother Billy? Do you remember Billy Beer? Do you remember Billy taking a leak on a runway? Each family seems to have their strange secrets.

Billy Carter was more of an embarassment IMO. The family buffoon...

My point was not so much as the reporting accuracy itself, but more of a "is this side-tracking ever going to end"? rant. Two days before the election and still more junk that has no relevance to the issues at hand. It's just as bad as that moronic crap concerning Cindy McCain from a week or two ago.

Really, in the face of all that we have to get accomplished as a nation, and the choice of the man to lead this country out of it's woes, who cares about this sh*t? Criminy, I'm sure there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of these people in the US that have overstayed their visas. The only thing special about this one is she's BO's auntie and THAT is what makes it "news". Anyone else, or any other time or year and this would be just to much back page drivel.

More FUD, more dirt, more stupidity to satisfy a country that evidently craves this kind of junk IMO.

McCain's brother dialed 911 a week ago because of a traffic jam or some such nonsense as that. :rotfl:

Then I guess Palin's wardrobe would also be "news". Anyone else would not even be considered. A tit for tat.

It sure would seem that way AVG... just like two little kids, "If you tattle on me, I'll tattle on you!" Childish and counterproductive IMO.

Thank goodness most of this stupidity will come to an end in a couple of days... Then we can get back to the normal day to day silliness...

You are correct DI. This has been going on over 18 months and it is really starting to bore me quite a bit. I have spoken to many who just wish it would get over with at this point. No matter which way we go on the vote, we are screwed anyway. Therefore, I'm writing in Mickey Mouse. He can run one hell of a amusement park so I figured he could run this very large amusement park just as well. Go Mickey '08.

Well, please add me to the "I wish the hell it was over list" my friend. BTW, your comment on Mickey and the Disney franchise is a persuasive one! Perhaps I'll reconsider as well...

Whooo Hooo!! Election Day!!!

No more ads after today.

Now I just hope we don't have another debacle like we did in 2000 with no clear cut winner for a month or so. I pray that whoever wins does so with a clear edge and we don't have the court decide the next president.

Regardless who wins, I just hope the TV Networks keep their mouth' shut and don't call the election early.

Good luck on that one. The network that calls the winner (correctly) first gets to say "we told you so first", and in their eyes, that's "journalism". Never mind if it's a guess or based on skimpy statistics. They've got to get the "scoop".
