... A Chicago poster hit a home run with the following. "The Chicago democrat machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympic Committee!" Priceless! I thought the IOC was supposed to be the "one world gov't" sports wing. You guys cheered when the US didn't get the 2016 games, which meant no jobs (fyi, jobs that would have started almost immediately). Then, when the Nobel committee confirms your belief that Obama is a one-worlder, you scream and yell, claiming it's a fraud. Please pick one. I'm getting dizzy. -- Nom=de=Plume |

The only reason I tolerate black snakes is because they eat rattle snakes and coral snakes. If you were more of a manly man, like nomdeplum, rattlesnakes wouldn't bother you at all. I didn't say they don't bother me at all. I'm just used to them. But, maybe someone does have to "man up." If my cat can deal with them.... We're happy for you and your cat. I figured you would be..

There's no comparison between testonerone big wheels driving, while yacking about God knows what, while driving single-handed and smoking a cig. That's like saying I'm racist because I'm not wild about the health bill being held up by the friggin' Democrats. It's sexist because it's not just about "getting distracted." It's your opinion not supported by facts. Facts are facts. 'Testonerone' big wheels driving while yacking don't slow down to nothing and wander back and forth like the females do. Pure supposition.

That's four times in two years. Best not to get me in a cell phone debate. The best I can offer is that these guys are giving themselves brain cancer while driving up insurance rates. They would put the damn phone down if they could understand why they should. Just drove about 2500 miles and had only one "close-call." Woman talking on a cell wandered over and almost got me. Glad my wife screamed me onto the shoulder. --Vic I see people on the phone all the time. Around here, it's mostly guys in big pickups, although there's the occaisonal sedan with a woman talking. I watched a van run a red (no side traffic fortunately) while she was yacking away. I don't think she noticed. I don't even like to talk via the built-in bluetooth. That's distracting too. I usually pull over or if not possible, slow down and move over, e.g., on the freeway. I hate to say it, but it seems to me that females with cell phones pose the big problem. Yes, there may be males using them, but they don't seem to get as distracted as do the females. When a car slows from 70 to 50 in the fast lane, it's usually a female on a cell phone. Totally oblivious to cars behind her. I think that's totally sexist and not supported by any facts I'm aware of.
