Can we at least make an exception for Secretaries of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin and Earl L. Butz?

How can we boycott Hardins and Butz?

I have now, thank you.

Seems clear to me, I hope one of their accountants did the math - if you divide the potential future revenues by the number of victims I would be interested to know the value they have placed on each American that died that day.

Looks like the Swiss blinked as well...

I have to agree with MCS and the Admiral and the best course of action is to keep our perspective on this issue and humor is a pretty good way to do just that.

Having said that, I suggest we have gotten so PC over the past years that this type of thing happens - I doubt this would have happened during my grandfather's generation.

We forget sometimes that ours is a country at war.

I don't want to start an argument here BUT, I get so sick and tired of being told that "We forget that were at war". It seems to me that as much as the wars have set this country back (human and financial wise) nobody can forget that were at war. Most likely the only person that is trying to forget that were at war is the guy that went running back to Crawford with his tail between his legs.
Hopefully we can get this thread back to some low brow humor.

Hey Tom, does your butt itch?

08-24-2009, 09:37 PM

That's it. I'm boycotting being "sick and tired". From now on I'm only "lively and energetic"!

08-24-2009, 09:43 PM

I would look at the guys that I work with except a lot of them including myself were laid off when gas hit $4.50 a gallon last summer. I do agree with you on one thing, we do need to take a good look around. Everybody needs to let go of their political views for a few minutes and take a good look at all of the crap going on around here.

Looking at your avatar I'd doubt that you could get any more lively.

I didn't mean boycott drinking Scotch. I meant boycott buying Scotch until the terrorist is dead.

That means drink it if you have it or if it's giving to you as a gift...

Geez! Did you think I was some whacko? Wait! Don't answer that!

That qualifies under the "TOO MUCH INFORMATION" rule.

08-25-2009, 10:28 AM

Wow! I miss having to rake the carpet.

Not.

Side note that I heard on the way into work today.

Gadhafi will be coming to NYC for a UN meeting in Sept. He owns a 4.4 acre estate in NJ where he will be staying. The 4.4 acre 5.5 million dollar estate is not taxed as it is treated like an embassy.

His next door neighbor pays $60,000 a year in property taxes. I bet he's a happy camper.

As for his visit, I wounder how many of my tax dollars will be spent on his security.

BTW - I hope this ends soon as I only have two bottles of scotch left!
