Jim in Anchorage

I missed that to. I thought it would be some article about what a swell guy he really is and how he risked his life to save a drowning dog. He expects the Cowqueers to win? Shocking. I have no trouble saying I would like to see JJ die of a massive heart attack on the sidelines of a nationally televised game, clutching his chest in agony.

#1 Are you Dan Rather? #2 vs the "earning power" of a community organizer.

I feel for the kids. Got to be tough to to lose your mom at such a young age.

I like this

If you are so rich why are you renting?

Thats great,Conner is in serious trouble as the most imbecile poster here. Good idea- the police should ignore the law so you can have a taco. Wonder if this Mexican restaurant treated safe food handling laws with the same respect they had for immigration law.

I am nether alive or dead. I am undead

Fixed

Where do we go when we die?

God I can't remember half the places I lived in. I did mention Buffalo when I wrote the song

Conner? Venom? He has all the venom of a earthworm. And is equally good at producing fertilizer.

Whats a groomsmen? Do they take care of the horses?

Still in the mix. Should be interesting

Still waiting.

Same in Alaska. Must be on the wrong end of the pendulum.

Did you even read the post you have been so ineffectually arguing about? WHY WAS THE ALCAN BUILT? Oh and please tell me what gov't agency built the trans Alaska pipeline. All they did was finally get out of the way when the arabs shut off the oil.

Better yet give us your reasons for banning them. This will be a fascinating read.

We were discussing the role of the Feds TODAY. My God you found it necessary to bring up the purchase of Alaska in 1867. Something a little more current would be more convincing.

I wish you would quit using century's old examples to justify Federal spending. I suppose next I will hear about the Louisiana Purchase. What did you expect tva.gov to say? We are worthless and need to be eliminated? Frankly if a state is that p poor people need to move. As they have done for generations.

Addendum-It would also be nice if that loving, motherly federal gov't Would let Alaska EXTRACT IT'S OWN NATURAL RESOURCES. Yeah, we "need " Fed money.

Lame argument. The interstate highway system WAS built for national defense. TVA was a FDR make work project that has long ago outlived whatever usefulness it may have had. The dams, schools,reservoirs,etc all are local issues and should be a state matter. Living on the Federal teat just creates massive waste. "Hey we better find something to spend money on or we will miss out on matching Federal funds" And before Eric pipes in about Alaska, I would gladly vote to never accept A Federal nickel if they would give us back the 100+MILLION acres they have locked up in national parks, forever off the tax rolls.

Provide a example of a state that has been brought up on the back of some other state. One will do.

The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT should only be concerned with national defense.The States can handle the rest.

Still #15, but when he rams cap and trade down our throats like heath care I am certain the pointy headed academia in their ivory towers will elevate him to #1.

Yeah thats right. From ranking the presidents. I am sure Conner approved though.
