Old Special Ed could not even wait for the poor SOB it reach ambient temperature before he began ****ing on dead mans slippers. Real sport that Special Ed and stylish too.

And I bet a solid argument could be made that all the Mbote leeches who come here to make tax-free money and be in the top 1% of the economic pig-pile being contributes, too. But I was just quoting the guy on BBC. --riverman |

David Snedeker:
and who can forget his behind the scenes negotiations with the Ayutulas to hold onto the American hostages in Iran until election night, or for that matter trading arms for hostages in general, That is the single most contemptible thing I can recall happening on "his watch." Keeping U.S. troops in foreign captivity for political gain is inexcusable. Still, the man died a horrid death, robbed of dignity, self-awareness, and even the ability to ask for comfort. I'd not wish that on anyone nor find sufficient hatred in my heart to demean someone who died of Alzheimers in the manner seen at the beginning of this thread. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Dark Star http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

This passing reveals a serious character flaw alright, but the character flaw isn't in those who refuse to forgive and forget a war criminal and mass murderer who should have spent the last twenty years in a jail cell. The serious character flaw here is national in scope and red, white & blue to the core. -- Ken Fortenberry |

And what does the song "drug store truck drivin' man" got to do with a boat named after a former republican president? I'm confused ![]() Joan Baez dedicated the song in the Subject: of this thread to then governor of California Ronny Raygun and changed a few of the lyrics to suit the dedication during its performance at an event called Woodstock. The loathing of Ronny has a long history in America, despite what many Europeans may think of us. O, I knew that.. I still have some Dead Kennedy's records gathering dust somewhere. -- Herman |
