OT For my good friend, Ken
wrote in message ... But are you suggesting that most members of the House are above political theater? hell, no! I'd offer that if the Dems thought they had a decent script, they'd have happily struck up the band and began singing "Springtime for Hussein" (with all the Dem Reps doing the can-can, forming a big spinning Scud launcher). Unfortunately for them, the script they have would make "Showgirls Go To Ishtar" (A Bialystock/Bloom Production, Directed by Roger De Brise) look like "To Kill A Mockingbird." .....with Barney Frank cast in a lead role...ok,ok, this all may be a bit over the top, but I see your point. I always found the idea of impeachment sort of a method of last resort, for extreme disregard for the law to the point of incapacitating the office and whole government. Thus, I railed against wasting the time on the Clinton impeachment, and can't see any reason to impeach Bush, as the whole damned nation had a chance to send him packing, three-plus years back, and chose not to. It hardly seems so dead-certain that Bush did a damned thing that rises to impeachable, that we know of. Conversely, I figure most Presidents do stuff that does rise to that standard that most of us never know a thing about.....but, that's the cynic in me. Tom .....RDean: send that script to John Waters and you'll be on Broadway within 5 years! |

Er, no. While Frank and I don't agree on a whole lot politically, I have respect for him as one of the better members of Congress (and yeah, I know he's had his share of, er, missteps...) insofar as wanting to "do the right thing." IOW, I'd suspect Frank wouldn't be among those setting up the stage...well, unless there were some real showtunes involved... ok,ok, this all may be a bit over the top, but I see your point.

It would depend on what you mean by things "most of us never know about"...US Presidents are _expected_ to do certain things sub rosa or secretly, but a lack of "openness" in and of itself is not material to impeachment. And the "public perception" of the "big picture" is likewise not material - for example, taking the US to war, under most circumstances (and in which "public opinion" is meaningless), is almost certainly an unimpeachable act - even a protected act, while caught lying to a grand jury could be a slam-dunk, impeachment-wise...

Tim, you bulbus ****tard!
Why do you persist in tormenting poor Phred. Phred, obviously, is dealing with multiple issues, which cause him great cerebral consternation and conflagration. You are a very wicked linguistic sorcerer. That you are unable to interpret or comprehend Phred's authentic American jibberish is not the phault of Phred, but a malady brought about by you own inferior intellectual capabilities. People, like myself, who concern themselves with the science of thinkology have no difficulties at all in understanding and admiring Phred's remarkable ability as a lexicographer who can create new words with every new post he cyber-pens! Get a life Tim! and leave Phred alone, you, you, you net nanny! Who loves ya? Op --nine days and counting without a cigarette, WHOOOO HOOOOO!-- "Tim J." wrote in message . ..

I don't know what it is, but EVERYONE at work seems to have taken an attitude of late? I sure hope they get better soon, as I don't know if I can continue my patient, kind, and caring ways much longer. Been fishin' a quite a bit since classes ended in April. Uncle Wally, Bear, and I will hit a local stream on Sat. or Sun. I have convinced a co-worker to take up fly fishin' and he and I have been out workin' on his castin' and line control the last few weekends. Unfortunately he seems to have lost his hearing, which makes instructing him especially difficult. I had to yell at him a great deal this past Saturday? I sure hope he regains his hearing soon, I don't know how long I will be able to maintain my voice. Op |

Op Op It will take a couple of months and you will notice that you breathe better, you will have more stamina on many levels and you will smell better to yourself and to everybody else including fish. Stick w it man Its worth it! Your casting will improve to where you can lay a fly on a dime and you will of course catch more fish. Garronteed as the Cajuns say. Give it 3-6 months.
