NOYB aside, I'm really astonished at the support the righties give Bush.
I mean, the man is an absolute dunce,
He's well educated certainly moreso than you because you have none,
despite your lies. Make up your mind Harry you were in Kansas doing 3
yrs of medicine OR working as a kid in a new paper OR getting you
"first" degree in what?? All the time driving that "old" MGA, there were
no "old" MGAs in 1960 you sad liar:-)
a total failure,
gee lets see
(i) a successful business person, from a successful business &
political close knit family; you = failed lying union lacky who has to
fabricate sad stories about his father which are an insult to whoever he
was of whatever standing, you're a disgrace.
(ii) a successful marriage over many years & a loving family; you =
chucked & alone pretending you have a smart young "bride", of course
you've admitted that your children from the first failed marriage won't
even talk to you, wonder why???.
(iii) Elected by the people as the governor of what?? the biggest
state???; you = a sad little lying grub that can't even get elected to
union positions.
(iv) Did such a good job as governor of the big(gest?) state that the
people of America elected him as the bloke in charge; you = well I can
see why you're jealous & need to lie about yourself at every turn, I
really can.
Gee sorry ol' fella I just can't see your problem; on every measure
you're a completely failed life & well he, his Dad, his brother etc are
all successful.
aside from his
handouts to his political supporters. He's pooched about everything he's
touched; he lies about important matters
Now that's a giggle you calling anyone a liar!!!! What you have a
special place when it comes to lying do you Harry?
; he's gotten us into a war we
cannot win, and so on and so forth, ad nauseum.
Well it is sickening to see what a disloyal dishonest little lying grub
you are I agree. He didn't "get you into a war" he's stopped attacks on
the innocent citizens of the US, stopped them dead bang, so objectively
his strategy has been a total & complete success.
As for "can't win" you've won!!! Get used to it, you've completely
occupied & sent them running from Afghanistan & Iraq. Yes there is some
terrorist activity left & very sadly some brave soldiers are carrying
that risk for cowardly lying grubs like you. But sorry Harry the "war"
was over in 5 minutes now if he's as smart as I think he is, he'll stay
there & NOT give Iraq back.
And yet few of the
righties will even acknowledge the man has faults or has made one bad
decision after another.
No bad decisions, all great & in very difficult times, the tech wreck &
stock implosions?? He's done the exact right thing in lessening the tax
burden as evidenced in the figures, the war?? again Afghanistan was a
doddle & so was Iraq in the mean time no US attacks despite the
terrorists blind hated of anything west.
I liked Bill Clinton as president, but there were a number of policy
issues of his I disliked, and I always said so, and so did most others
who supported Clinton.
Clinton was OK but a lefty & not strong enough to stand up to you &
your union thugs, so wet dreams ran rampant. Bush now has to get all
that back in the kitty litter, a project for his second term I'd suggest.
But these righties: lockstep and goosestep, they follow the Idiot Bush
who Assumed the Presidency.
Again so even you might understand it your nazi references are off
target, they were socialists from the left & behaved pretty much as you
do, always knowing how others "should" behave, stealing their free
choice, racist, sexist & violent at every opportunity.
K
Here's some of Harry's lies for you, just to bring back old
memories:-)
Here's just some of his prior lies (in his own words pasted);
I sold off nearly $3,000,000 in new motors and boats, depressing
the new boat
industry in southern Connecticut for an entire season. Everything was
sold...every
cotter pin, every quart of oil, 30 days after I started. For near
full-retail, too.
He had just under $1,000,000 on floor plan with a
syndicate of banks led by National Shawmut of Boston. He had been a
solid customer of that back for more than 20 years and they gave him
great rates.
As far as your other complaints, well, almost every president in my
memory,
and I *remember* Truman, Eisenhower (who cheated on his wife), Kennedy,
Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush, lied and participated in
deceit to one degree or another, and on issues far more important
than who
was giving them blow jobs.
Good lord. I met *every* president in the damned group except Bush,
and I
worked once for his father.
My father used to pray that the north shore of LI Sound would be hit by
a mild hurricane. No
one injured, no on-shore property damaged, but lots of boats sunk.
Preferably early in July.
We had the Hatteras for two years. Last year, out of the cold clear, a
broker approached me with an offer to buy. Our continued Florida
lifestyle was somewhat up in the air, because the two breadwinners
hereabouts were about to be offered long-term but temporary assignments
they could not refuse in the Washington, D.C., area. So, after being
romanced a little, we sold the Hatt for almost precisely what we paid
for it. Not bad, after two full years of use. And I mean full
years. So,
we didn't "make" any money off the Hatt, but we didn't lose any,
either.
The proceeds were prudently invested.
The PWC was won as
a prize in a raffle.
Never mind that. Why does he have a Bilgeliner in front of his office?
Is it a display of "Boating Don'ts?"
Yeah, when we were in the boat biz, my father always had one or two
"around the back" that he was forced to take in trade. These were sold
as "as is, where is." He made sure the engine would start and run.
Beyond that, it was up to the prospective buyer to decide if he wanted
it. They moved off the lot pretty quickly, partially because my dad's
main store was on a highly trafficked commercial route with lots of
manufacturing and machining and aerospace plants near by. In those
days,
workers at these places could fix anything.
Actually, Dipper, I don't think my father ever saw a Bayliner. But
he still
called bumpers bumpers.
--
Bayliner wined and dined my father a half dozen times to entice him
into becoming its dealer. His operation was the largest small boat
dealership in its area of New England, and for 30 years, he was the
*exclusive* Evinrude dealer in a densely populated coastal county. He
also handled Mercuries. He never liked Bayliners, and referred to them
as "jerry-built."
From 1947 until he died, he sold more than 500 outboard motors a
year from his stores, accounting for a reasonably high percentage
of *all*
outboards sold in his home state for those years.
This is a killer. My father was in the boat business dating back to
right after
the Big War. When he died and I was looking through his warehouse,
I found
wrapped in a nuclear fall-out bag (no kidding), a brand-new 1949
Evinrude 8015
50 hp outboard. The motor was a gift to my father from Evinrude for
winning some
outboard stock utility or hydroplane race.
I gave the motor to a friend of my dad's, who worked at the shop as
head
mechanic. I don't believe he ever used it and I'm sure it is still
brand-new. I
have no idea who might own it now.
He also built
boats, and I worked on a few, both wood, glass covered wood and
all fiberglass. After he died, however, we sold the biz and I've
just been an occasional boat owner.
Besides, I worked off and on in the
boat business and inherited it when he died. So, as I said, I'm
knee-deep in boat heritage.
Oh,
and I had some friends who died in the service, too, but it wasn't for
what they believed in. They were drafted, shipped to Vietnam and came
back in body bags.
During the war, he turned out experimental brass shell casings
for the
Army and hopped up outboards for the Navy, which wanted to use them on
smaller
landing craft. I had photos at one time of my father with Ole Evinrude
himself.
My mother knew one of Evinrude's wives...she was a minor movie star or
singer...I forgot which. Maybe both.
Have you ever sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii? I have.
Have you ever rounded Cape Horn? I have, twice.
Have you ever transited the Panama Canal? I have.
Have you owned more than 20 boats in your lifetime? I have.
Have you ever sailed large boats competitively? I have.
Have you ever been hundreds of miles from land in a powerboat under
your
command? I have.
My father and his chief mechanic once crossed the Atlantic in winter in
a 22'
boat powered by twin outboards. Yes, it is possible, even the fuel.
Got a

Sometime in the early 1960s, I was driving back from Ft. Leonard
Wood to
Kansas City in a nice old MGA I owned at the time. About halfway
home it
started raining heavily, I turned on the wipers, and EVERY SINGLE
electrical accessory and light in the car flashed on, there was a large
popping sound and it all blew out at once. And the car caught fire. I
pulled over to the side of the road, watched the fire, removed my
license plate and hitched on home. For all I know, that old MGA is
still
there.
Sure was a pretty little car.
Puh-lease, Karen. You've not seen nor have I ever posted one example of
my professional writings on building structure and the effects on it of
hurricane-force winds and seismic activity. I haven't done any of these
in at least 10 year, but at the time I was field researching,
photographing and writing these reports, they were quite accurate,
topical and well-received by their intended audiences.
A small fleet of Polar skiffs were purchased by an inshore bait, tackle
and boat rental business on the ICW in NE Florida. These boats
were not
used on open waters. Within 90 days, cracks developed in the
liners that
also served as the deck over the flotation in the bottom of the
hulls. A
guide I know, one whose boats and engines are supplied to him by
manufacturers, also had a Polar skiff go bad on him for the same
reasons
-liner and then hull fractures.
Harry has claimed to have a 20 yrs his junior beautiful wife, he even
put a fake pic of a beautiful woman on a website once claiming it was
his "young bride", he may have a wife, although I doubt it, we don't
like nor tolerate misogynists for long.
Needless to say he's made up many "dramatic" over the top stories
over the years about this lie to feed his ego & pretend he's the centre
of attention, but as with his boat claims & other crap, there's never
once been even a shred of independently verifiable material.
After he stalked Madcow in real life, which was most frightening,
I do suspect he's very very dangerous & that this "bride" story is his
delusional appropriation of his, probably court ordered, treating
psychotherapist as "wife" (it seems he was under lock & key for what??
over a year??? a sexual deviant maybe??), have a read of just a small
part of his BS & make up your own mind, it's all about free choice:-)
1. She *is* my bride. There are no rules that determine the end of
"bride-hood." If I want to refer to her as my bride, I may.
2. As a professional writer, I know the rules of language and am
entitled to
break them in exercise of my license.
3. I doubt many married women would object to their husbands lovingly
referring to them as brides. The connotations are pleasant.
4. She's 20 years younger than I am.
Naw. What happened was that I handled a couple of "political" consulting
jobs funded out of the DC area to help a few candidates and defeat a
couple of ballot issues. Through no fault of mine, we won each of the
races, so some of the deep pockets types based in the DC area think I
actually *know something* about the process. I was offered a contract
that requires my presence in DC quite frequently. My bride also was
offered a job up here that represented a significant professional career
move. So, we're "up here" much of the time and "down there" the rest of
it, except when we're "somewhere else." I've been back to Jax (well,
really south of Jax) five times since coming "up here" late last summer
and my bride just returned from a business trip there.
I swear this is true.
Here's a funny. My bride had to fly out to San Diego Wednesday and
hitched a ride on her company's corporate jet. They landed in Salina,
Kansas, which is due north of Wichita and Skippy's suburb of Derby.
So when she gets to San Diego, I get a call asking, "What the hell did
you do in Kansas...we didn't fly over one significant patch of
water...?"
Harry, you make over 500 posts a week to this group and you don't own
a boat?
And why are you so crabby?
Maybe these two factors are related?
One has to own something to use it? Hmmm. My bride drives off in her car
every day, but she doesn't own it.
I'm not crabby. You asked for advice I gave you some. I questioned your
wanting to take a very small boat out into high seas and suddenly you
turned sour. It's your pot; you are the one stewing in it.
No, it is the boat of a friend. It is a 24' ProLine center console with,
if I recall, a 225 hp Merc on it. It was a dark and stormy day in
January (1997) when we went out, but the sky cleared once we got out to
the Gulf Stream.
Bride and I caught and released:
1 white marlin
12-15 yellowtail snappers, maybe two pounds each. Pretty, pretty fish.
Assorted red snappers
1 amberjack
2 jack crevalle jacks
1 snook
Nondescript sharks
Did you spend a year as a line psychotherapist at a 650-bed state
hospital for forensic patients?
Did you spend a year as senior psychotherapist at a county facility for
substance abusers?
Did you spend two years as chief of therapy at a private, 200-bed
facility for the mentally and emotionally ill, at which approximately
half the patients were trying to beat drugs or alcohol?
Are you currently chief of therapy for a for a multi-practitioner
practice of some 825 patients, about a third of which are seeking help
for substance abuse problems?

My wife went through this before becoming licensed. Her final
internship was as a
psychotherapist at a 600-bed high security state psychiatric hospital
where, on a
daily basis, she was exposed to more danger than your average soldier.
My wife worked for a year as psychotherapist in a Florida 600-bed state
mental institution for forensic patients. She saw and treated numerous
sexual deviants who do a bit more than expose themselves. Such
"treatment"
is part of being in the mental health professions.
You see, I'm a nautical psychotherapist, and for only $125 an hour,
until their health insurance runs out, I help Bayliner owners
overcome their
feelings of boatable inadequacy.
She is a licensed, practicing
psychotherapist and often tells me I am the sanest person she sees each
day. Which can be taken any way one likes.
1. I'm married to a psychotherapist. Live-in therapy, dontcha know?
And much of
Freud is passe.
My ex-wife surpassed the anti-Christ at least a decade ago.
They're not actually "free" moments. I go to boat dealers to round-up
Bayliner owners who are trying to find one who will take their own
version of flotsam and jetsam in on trade.
1. The address listed is not a home address. It is an office.
2. I have three phone numbers. The phone number listed is not one of
mine. It has never been one of mine. The phone number *did* belong to an
after-hours message recording hotline my wife maintained for her most
mentally disturbed patients. Some of these troubled souls were
court-ordered referrals. *Every* call to that phone number--every
call--was recorded AND because of the nature of the line, my wife had
the ability to alert the telephone company to trace the phone number of
every incoming call to that line, *even* if the person making the call
tried to block his number.
Why, you might ask? Because when you are dealing with suicidal people,
they'll liable to tell their therapist over the phone that they are
planning to take their life. If the therapist believes the threat is
real, she or he will want to dispatch emergency srvices and perhaps the
police.
In the years my wife has provided this pro bono service, she has never
received a threatening or abusive call from a mentally ill patient or
court-ordered referral. However, after the ranking Flaming Ass of this
newsgroup posted the hotline number in this newsgroup, she received a
number of abusive, foul-mouthed AND life-threatening calls. These were
mostly directed at me but, of course, I never received them BECAUSE
(duh!) the phone is not mine and I've never answered it.
Naturally, my wife alerted the authorities, with whom she works closely
because of her court-referred patients. The authorities are
investigating the callers and have involved both the FBI *and*
authorities in other states, including Florida, Georgia, California and
Texas. Working with the telephone company, the authorities have been
able to trace the origin of virtually every abusive call. And, of
course, they have the tape recordings of the abusive messages. Several
suspects have been identified. I really don't know what the outcome of
all this will be. We haven't had an update in several weeks, nor are
either of us here that interested in the sleazeballs that would make
such calls.
The phone number, of course, is "wired," so when the obnoxious calls
came in
from the idiot rec.boaters, the numbers were easy enough to trace.
The local
police handled a complaint, the local telco was involved and when it was
discovered the point of origin was out of state, the FBI got involved. At
least one of the idiots was caught and prosecuted. As far as I can
tell, he
has not posted here again.
