And Larry Craig Strom Thurmond

There are men on PPP?

Was he really austic? I must have missed that. "Treatment" for austism is not medical. I understand some religions proscribe medical treatment but speech therapy, counseling etc are different... My son was austic and died in a very similar fashion at age 14. We have always attributed his sudden death to diabetes, although the autopsy could not pinpoint a cause of death. He too would have seizures, caused by drop in his blood sugar, but the causes for those drops were usually related not to his insulin or his diet but to extreme excitement ... you could actually anticipate his episodes based on what was going on in his life. Unfortunately one night we didn't realize how excited he was... The doctors used to say "oh, people don't die from seizures unless they hurt themselves during the seizure..." but of course these same doctors couldn't ever figure out WHY he had them. After subjecting him to a spinal tap among other horrific tets one day in emergency, and finding nothing, we assumed we'd all have to live with it and hope that as he matured and became less "brittle" he wouldn't have them any more. The brain is a funny thing ... autistic people are "wired" differently ... and it's just hard to tell. I know EXACTLY what the Travolta family is going through, and it sucks. I would not wish it on anyone.

What the heck was the name of the OS on the PDP-11? I cannot for the life of me remember....I know the language was BASIC...it wasn't VMS, that was IBM right?

Naw. I used to support a lot of state accounts. Think .... CP/M. They're probably still using PDP-11's too.

Well a homeless crack whore couldn't afford to pay a dime for the seat so THAT taint wouldn't be there. And, arguably, his or her morales would be on par or better than many of the others already seated in Congress.

Well, now you're all in good company. <<(CNN) – Outgoing Senate Rules Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday she disagrees with her Democratic leadership blocking Roland Burris from being seated in the Senate. “The question is really one, in my view, of law,” Feinstein told reporters in a Capitol hallway. “Does the governor have the power, under law, to make the appointment? And the answer is yes. Is the governor discredited? The answer is yes. Does that affect his appointment power? The answer is no, until certain things happen,” she said. “So, if you don’t seat Mr. Burris, it has ramifications for gubernatorial appointments all over America. Mr. Burris is a senior, experienced politician. He has been Attorney General, he has been Controller, and he is very well-respected. I am hopeful that this will be settled.” Feinstein is currently chairman of the Senate's Rules Committee, although New York Sen. Charles Schumer is slated to take over that post in the next few days.>> The thing is...he's tainted not only by the appointer, but by the way he's been acting since then. Very unprofessional. He could have let Blago@#$@$@$$ make the announcement and then stated that he'd wait to take his seat until Blago@#$@$@#$@ had been dispensed with and his right to take said seat vetted. The Senate wouldn't be crippled because he and Al Franken are missing.

What about stupid? What about stubborn?

Ooooo woe is me! Tom! Tom! The turds are picking on me! hahahahhahaha Pathetic little "men" (picture me waggling my pinky at you...I'm sure it's within a centimeter or so of reality ... hmmm maybe I'm being generous).

Any any intelligence, for that matter.

They like to think that, except the real poor typically live with other real poor and they only have each other to steal from. Hence the gun nuts really don't have anybody to shoot, although hope springs eternal.

Not really. Having elected a black president, white America feels just fine about itself. And, I don't see a lot of black outrage either. I don't know anything about Burris, so I can't judge as to whether he'd be a good choice or not. But, he knew EXACTLY what the situation was when he accepted this "nomination", and he's only making himself look stupid by forcing the issue. Obama himself is not backing this man. If Blago#$R$#$*&)(&(vich was a genius, he would have selected a woman.

Don't forget the in-laws are drug dealers.

Well, become a CEO and plunder the company like the rest of them.

I don't think Obama gives a rat's ass about your guns. I don't know where you people GET this stuff. We're teetering on the brink of financial disaster in this country and you're worried about your guns? Fat lot of good they'll do you in a depression, unless you can actually use them to shoot game or pawn them.

No more chadonnay for ME. I'm gonna go pay attention to the game now. It's been a little boring so far but hopefully it's about to turn around.

hahahhahahahahahhaha DINE?! That is WAY too civilized for him. He eats from a trough.

no sh--. i never thought i'd agree with someone who's thus far demonstrated no capability to either have, or express, an intelligent thought. ah well, everyone gets lucky once in awhile. tonight's his night.

Uh well, the thread was started by an Alaskan. It it was started by someone else no doubt I would have had something else with which to slam them. And, I don't see Palin's name in there anywhere....seems like you might have the problem. She's in a different thread. She is actually relevant since she was chosen by Alaskans as their Leader. That speaks volumes. And it IS a fact that Alaska IS the one and ONLY state where EVERYONE gets FREE MONEY for doing NOTHING. If that's not welfare, I don't know what is.

ha! good one. Well, you know, it's tough when you're used to just whipping it out and firing at will. Your gun I mean. Can't do that much here. But knowing AD and his cohort Jim explains how and why a nitwit like the Palin is in power...not to mention the Murkowskis and Stevens....

Crap. I actually agree with you.

you mean it ISN'T. Rudy would LOVE that hair. Any hair, actually. Now there is a picture. As funny as you with a brain.

Best be careful. When you say something AD really takes exception to, he uses his "power" as Moderator to threaten to ban you.

Alaska = the state where EVERYONE is on welfare. 100% welfare. Free blubber for all. Get on your ice floe and sail away....since there's no such thing as global warming you won't have to worry about its melting.

And his hair is insulting. That hair belongs on a Republican.
