1. I'm at work and we are not allowed to download any software
on the computers without prior permission. We can be fired for this. So I can't download the software to watch MSNBC video.

So, please, someone keep us posted.

7. Oooh, he sent out John Warner first ...
Chicken! :P

John Warner (R) is resigning at the end of his term and Mark Warner (D) will be elected to take his place in our Commonwealth of Virginia. :patriot:

Not near as brave as when he stuffed that deer head into the mail box of a person of color, but BRAVE, none the less.

Oh shit! He's quoting from the Bible. I HATE REPUBLICANS!

They're waving flags and guns
And quoting from the bible. .... The Happytones.

63. Actually, there's nothing wrong with quoting from the Bible -
as long as you both understand what it means and live by it.

Bill Clinton, Wes Clark, and a lot of good Democrats do it all the time - the difference being that they actually read the Sermon on the Mount and want to HELP the poor and down-trodden.

37. It's official. Allen concedes.
And I have to say this: Allen's little girl, while clearly disappointed, is being really mature and a good sport about this. Especially compared with Santorum's little crybabies.

... another company wants him to do commercials for broken window replacements.

... best so far is a company wants George to officiate at "Tobacco Spitting Contests."

Not sure about this one..... one company wants to hire him to do 'sensitivity training sessions."
