Too Much Politics
Yep... mainly because all the right-wing freaks
will have retired to their underground bunkers for another 7-year cycle.

wife swapping where's that one? Yeah, and I don't want to see that reality show either... I mean who really wants to watch someone's wife do someone else's wife's laundry? -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |

Game Wardens Search for Aggressive Mule Deer Buck That Attacked Man The Associated Press BOZEMAN, Mont. Aug. 11, 2004 - Game wardens are searching for an aggressive mule deer buck that attacked a man and has a history of causing problems. Gene Novikoff, who had previous encounters with the animal, suffered a broken rib, bruises and scratches after the four-point buck knocked him down Monday and pummeled him with its front hooves for several minutes. The animal became distracted by its own reflection in Novikoff's shiny sport utility vehicle and Novikoff was able to get inside his garage. "Thank God I had the car cleaned a couple of weeks ago," Novikoff said. "If he hadn't gotten interested in looking at himself, I don't think I would have made it." The deer was still pondering its reflection when Novikoff returned outside and fired six .22-caliber bullets at it, frightening the animal away. The attack began, Novikoff said, when the deer sneaked up on him in his driveway. "I tried to get inside the house, but he charged me before I could," Novikoff said. "I wrestled with him, which was a mistake. I'm 80 years old, he's only about 2 or 3." Before this latest incident, wildlife officials said they had decided they would have to kill the deer. It has chased anglers on the Madison River, entered one man's garage and kept its brazen attitude despite two separate doses of pepper spray. Warden Marc Glines of the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said the animal has no fear of humans and probably was once someone's pet. "FWP was worried that a fisherman would trip while getting away, or it would run into a child or someone would get killed," said Glines, who has loaned Novikoff a hunting rifle for the buck's next visit. http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20040811_1540.html |

There is not way to stop the political nonsense. You can, however, add some
sailing content. Am I the only one that thinks that people who complain about OT posts never actually contribute any On Topic posts? "Mike Mc" wrote in message ...

I'd have to say no to that one Jeff, since I complain about the OTs AND I've
contributed plenty of on topic discussion. And by the way, strictly speaking, it's not being OT that I'm complaining about, but the relentless beating of dead horses, the sheer volume of redundant rhetoric, and the boring, boring, boringness of armchair politicians.
