McCain, a centrist butt-kissing conservative, who disappointed a lot
of people when he sucked up to Bush so he can get the nomination. He's
even using the same attack-dog people Bush used. Very disappointing.

Thankfully a lot of Democrats disagree with you. McCain is more
qualified to lead than anyone the Dems or GOP have put up for office so
far.

Where will he lead them?

Out of the dark and into the light. Walk toward the light . . .

Hey, I just got a bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig as a gift. Is it any
good?

Absolutely. I like Laphroaig, but Lagavulin is somewhat better IMO,
especially the older stuff. Islay (pronounced EYE-luh) scotches tend to be
peaty and smokey. They are the single-malts that gave scotch the "medicine"
moniker than persisted for decades. You either like them or you don't. If
you don't, try highland malts for a less dry scotch.

Right-O Thom!

What do you drink anyway?

Do you like single malts?

He likes boiler-room coffee, so I doubt if he'd go for single malts,
especially Islay.
Maybe Jim Beam?

Max

Do you like single malts?

A crackling fire and a bottle of 20 year old Lagavulin contribute to a
fine evening for me. I love Highland and Lowland scotches, too, but the
Islay are the best, IMHO. My wife loves them, too. We also love Irish
whiskeys, too, but single-malts are rare in Erin.

And you?

Max

Single malts are the only liquor I can enjoy. The rest are too sweet or
taste like gasoline. I don't drink enough to go through a lot of them, but
they are enjoyable. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich, Glen Mornay(?)

Glen Morangie, perhaps?

and one other. I've had a large bottle of Maker's Mark for over 25 years
(don't drink it much).

I like bourbon, too. Recently I've taken a liking to rye, but there aren't
too many still produced. Recently Wild Turkey began producing a rye
(essentially the single-malts equivalent of bourbon), but I haven't tried
it. Jim Beam's rye is about the best so far. Old Overholt is less
satisfying.

One of my favorite single-malts is Balvenie Double Wood. Give it a try.

I hope they're safe. My thoughts are with our people -- of whatever
branch of service -- wherever they're deployed. I got a call last week
from a friend who's going to Kosovo for a year. I'd almost forgotten
that we were still there.

I have many friends in Iraq now too. I told them before they left:
"You're an American soldier. So hold your head high. But you're in a
combat zone, so keep your ****ing head down. You figure it out."


I tell him to keep his head down. There's stress every time the phone rings.
All he wants is to be able to spend sometime in a place where he doesn't
have to have a buddy with him and carrying arms. His "bedroom" has 50+
bullet holes in it. He's under the gun 24/7 for months on end. He was just a
kid when he went in.

People seldom come out of a deployment like that with the same mental
state that they go in with, from what I've seen.

When I got back from my deployment, I had a hard time going to a park
with my kids for a long time. I was worried about landmines. I was only
comfortable walking on hardball. I have another friend who still
reaches for his protective mask every time they test the civil defense
sirens.

Aside from physically being OK, I also hope that he comes out of it in
good shape. If he has some issues (like those above) I hope he won't
think it's not 'manly' to get some assistance, and that there's
assistance for him if he needs it. Stress like that just isn't natural.

Gilly,

Do you think it might have been the same lies about weapons of mass

Democrats in Congress voted to put our troops there. Congress has the

The right occasion for scotch is anytime you're desirous of something to
enhance your life experience, if only a little. Single-malts are like icing
on the life cake.

That bottle should last a couple of weeks, Jon. Islay malts aren't much
good for guzzling with buddies over a 49ers game, albeit I can understand
how you might wish to do so. g

Gilly,

Thom,

It was about cowardice. When 9/11 happened a good number of people let their
emotions get the best of them. They wanted revenge and quashed all dissent
and branded anyone who said "wait a minute, let's think this thing through"
as a traitor.

The time to stand up to this was when it first happened. There were very few
who did. Here, in ASA, it was only the Navigator and he predicted the
outcome. In the US government it was those politicians who went went the
tide so they could get relected. It was relection over principle and good of
the country.

Both Republicans and Democrats are to blame. Congress failed to do its job.
The reason we are in such a mess is that a majority of people did not use
their heads.

Look at the debates here. It is either extreme right or extreme left. Very
little middle ground, no application of principles or morals, just party
politics and political expediency. Who is thinking out of the box or
thinking about the much larger picture of why these messes continually
happen regardless of who or what runs the country? No one questions the
actual system, they just simply want their guy running it.You can put Mario
Andretti behind the wheel of a soap box derby car but he isn't going to win
the Indy 500 no matter what. The amount of power in the hands of politicians
gaurantees that we will never have peace, equity, or a goal of the common
good. That day will come when Americans take back the responsibilities of
their own lives and reduce the scope of government - an anathema to
eitherpolitical party.
"The turn will come when we entrust the conduct of our affairs to men who
understand that their first duty as public officials is to divest themselves
of the power they have been given. It will come when Americans, in hundreds
of communities throughout the nation, decide to put the man in office who is
pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore the Republic. Who will
proclaim in a campaign speech: "I have little interest in streamlining
government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I
do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim
is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new
programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or
that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an
unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether
legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is
constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for
neglecting my constituents' 'interests,' I shall reply that I was informed
their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very
best I can." Barry M. Goldwater

"What's this? A ranger caught off his guard?" --- Arwen Evenstar

What's this? Gilligan putting muddled thinking (his) on top of clear thinking (Goldwater's)????

Most of the time political discussion bores the hell outta me. Most of the time I just shut my mouth.
I hate having to treat with teaming hords of imbeciles.
I'm making an exception this time. There's too much wrong with what you said, Gilligan. Too much
selective memory. Too much propaganda. Too much blaming politicians when there's more than enough
blame to go around for all of us.
You said the time to stand up is when it first happened. Who stood up to all the terrorist attacks
on our country and her assets during the Clinton years? Who stood up prior to that? Not Carter during
the Iran hostage debacle. If you know history it's clear Democrats other than Roosevelt and Kennedy
didn't stand up. They sat there and let enemies of the United States rape us. Clinton's the blame for
9-11. He cut and ran so many times that the terrorists got real brave. They think we're a bunch of wimps.
They think we aren't serious enough to take a stand. They've learned, thanks to Democrats, that we'll
cut and run. Who are Democrats? They're American people.
So along comes President Bush. He took stock of the situation. He knew the time had come to stand up.
He knew it was time to put a stop to the cut and run. The 9-11 attack was the straw that broke the camel's
back. Mr. Bush petitioned congress and congress agreed almost unanimously to go to war with Afgahanistan
and with Iraq. Now the Democrats are back to their old bag of tricks. They conveniently forgot all about
their decision to go to war. They didn't learn a thing. They want to cut and run again. Who is the president"
Who is congress? They are the American people.
So please don't say all politicians are cowards. Who are politicians? They are the American people.
Granted, the cowards are mostly Democrats. They flip-flop all over the place. Republicans take a stand when
it comes to the war against Islamic Fascists and certain other moral principles they hold dear. Who are
Republicans? They are American people.

| Both Republicans and Democrats are to blame. Congress failed to do its job.

It's Democrats who say we're in such a mess. Very few Republicans are saying it. Blame where blame
is due. Blame the Democrats. But give them credit for being able to convince a lot of people that we're
in such a mess when we aren't. They control the major media. They have one helluva propaganda machine
at work. Its purpose is to do what it takes to get them back into power even if it means destroying the
country.
Saddam Hussein just got a death sentence. Iraq is a developing democracy. We have a military base
right next door to Iran so it will be easier to kick their butts if the time comes. The terrorists don't
benefit from Iraq oil revenue. Afghanistan is doing much better than when ruled by the Taliban. Iraq
is doing much better than when under Saddam. Bin Laden has openly proclaimed the main terrorist front
is Iraq. Terrorists have failed to attack mainland U.S.A. again. Go ahead, believe the liberal spin machine.
Believe it's such a mess. Don't bother using common sense. Don't bother reading about all the positive
things happening in Iraq. Become just another mind-numbed robot.

| Look at the debates here. It is either extreme right or extreme left. Very

Duh, there's NO middle ground. You either believe it when Islamic Facists tell us they are going to convert
us to Islamic Law or they're gonna kill us. You either tell them "NO" or you say "OK you win." Mr. Bush and the
Republicans have stood up and said "NO!" That's principled and that's moral. If Mr. Bush was immoral and
unprincipled he would be like the Democrats and he would do what it took to get Republicans re-elected.
Instead he stands firm even when his approval rating is very low. Political expediency would dictate he do
what's popular. But he's a man of moral courage and conviction who's taken a stand - the only stand that will
keep us from being murdered and enslaved. No, there is no middle ground...

| Who is thinking out of the box or
| thinking about the much larger picture of why these messes continually
| happen regardless of who or what runs the country?

The answer to that is President Bush and his staff are thinking out of the box. They are not only
thinking about a much larger picture but they are fighting a war against Islamic Facists the world over.
No, it ain't Republicans and our current president who are the problem. It's the wimp American electorate!
The American electorate is the biggest bunch of selfish, ignorant, gimme-gimme-I-want-it-now, brainwashed,
uninformed, stupid, greedy, say-anything-do-nothing, weakling, myopic, flip-flopping, politically correct,
disengenuous, immoral, pie-in-the-sky, blame the other guy cretins the world has ever had the misfortune to
witness crawling out of lachrymal, limp-wristed warrens of disillusionment.
Should it be that Islamic Facists prevail and behead the entire lot of us it will just be God's way of ridding
the world of a cancer far worse than any Islamic Facist empire. So as Americans we need to stop blaming the
politicians. We need to stop blaming anybody but ourselves. Stand there right in front of that mirror. Point your
forefinger right at your chest. Say "YOU'RE the blame!"
You won't take a stand. You won't stay the course. It follows you won't survive. Does it matter to you?
Apparently not!
Is it any wonder much of the world hates Americans. It's not because of our leaders. It's because of US.
It's because of the way we are. Believe it. We're a sorry bunch of ass clowns and stupid ones at that.
We need to wake up before it's too late....
