Ghost of BiB

I'm still waiting for the 19 year old hot babe to crank up the webcam. I so have no life...

This probably shouldn't go much, if any further. I fully agree with the idea of risk vs. cost vs. reward. That is why I am against, and have recommended against outlandish expenditures for more fire trucks paid for out of Homeland Security dollars. If you think about it, if you are to the point where you need more fire trucks everywhere, you did something wrong to get to that point. Fire trucks = failure. I think there should be pat downs or some type (in my idea of a perfect world) of passive detection (not that hard to do, BTW) at any public venue where you have large numbers of people corralled in a small space, like a sporting event. The dollar cost for a simple pat down is relatively small, and the biggest argument against it is that people don't like it. The idea here is deterrence and the mentality of a suicide attacker trying to achieve a certain effect. I'm not saying a suicide bomber would NOT blow himself up in line, but I would argue that it would not be the desired target effect. Much better to blow up in a close crowd of people on National TV. What is something that might deter a suicide bomber? Not much - except fear of failure. A terrorist with a handgun, after the media dust settles, is not going to create much impact different from some everyday American nutcase. That type of effect is actually detrimental to their strategic philosophy - can make them look very impotent and non-threatening. Taking out a section of a stadium and about 30 people makes a statement, and gets remembered much longer. Just some thoughts, but I've thought about this stuff a lot.

Right. I'm such a scardy cat lemming willing to believe anything I'm told. Thanks for opening my eyes to my self induced folly.

I really wish some folks could live in my world for a week. I think they might reach a slightly different understanding. How do you know they have never stopped anything? You going to wear 40 pounds of Semtex vest through a pat down line? That invasion of privacy thing is about lame, to me. How little it takes for people to be offended. Breaking down my door with a ram and searching my house without cause is invasion of privacy. Trying to prevent, by any manner, a most likely mass casualty scenario with precedent all over the world is not necessarily, to me, an evil thing.

Doesn't anyone use doe in estrus urine anymore? Salt lick works good too.

Anyone want to take this one? I haven't the heart.

Not saying it wasn't. As CTM and myself have often pointed out, this administration has the worst marketing plan of any since Nero. What I'm saying is that to one degree or another, crap like this is almost never impromptu - no matter who is doing it. It is not a Bush only phenonenum.

You're right Chris. The only people who ever should be allowed to speak are you and Mickey. You ever been around an event like that? I've been around similar things under democratic admins too. The point is for no one involved to look like idiots. And also the bastion of fair reporting - 60 minutes - Mike Wallace himself, as well as his producer PRACTICED and reshot (spontaneous) field interviews until they got what they wanted. We (Wallace, his producer and a couple folks from our side) had beers at a local Gasthouse the night before discussing what they were going to shoot and how, and what the flavor of the story was going to be. I was standing there the next day watching, as I had provided the producer with a lot of the background info they were asking questions from. So, if this is a big deal to y'all - so be it and wave your Bush Bad flags.

Don't ever rag me with a polock joke again.

I'm saving my rise for Saturday night.

Glad you don't want me. That makes me feel much better. We've had real doubts about you. Not that there's anything wrong with that...but we only say that because some people think fags are cool.

Yes, moderately humorous. It doesn't have big breasts, though. This place is the PPP for whimps, isn't it?

What's "NBA". Isn't that the thing that just won't go away? Sort of like herpes?

Slim babe 19 for hot fun in Alexandria? Cool. I'll get back to you.

When the big state flag debate was going on in Georgia, I saw a few: If I knew it would be this much trouble, I would have picked my own damn cotton. With a copy of the old flag. Lots of laughs, from both sides.

On so many levels. But, since they are only going 15 MPH, it might not have the best effect. Some of the best one's I've seen I'd never post here.

Anyone else see the irony in bird flu being found in Turkey? H5N1 makes it to Europe... Seriously, this could get real interesting.

Penetrating Interview

You vacuum your walls?

No, not a traitor.

I've already used mine, being a ghost...so who cares?

OMG, that is funny. Where was he when we needed him?

It's hard, now to take things in the context of history. Recorded history tends to record in the eye of the beholder, and it used to be the winner-not anymore. Now, we are always losers. Not too many know that the Japanese had on occassion executed American prisoners to be able to eat their livers at a sakai party. To them, at the time, you proved your warrior spirit by doing so. The American recollection was to not mention it, as it was so abhorent to us. There's always things underneath to war. Once again, I'll shake my head at the flavor of the press. They don't write policy, but they act like they do. Probably 1 out of 100 people who post here might have an idea of what is happening in the world in this regard, but they elect their leadership based on ABC, CNN, CBS, FOX, or MSNBC. And from what I can tell, not many go beyond their soundbite of choice.

She's going to look silly wandering the streets with that lamp.

I just jumped in because the main page subject header said "I just saw three movies with Crap Throwing Monkey". Figured to myself "Now THIS should be pretty strange..."
