My favorite is that he plans to give the machine to charity after the baby is born. Problem with that? The hospitals probably won't want used equipment. What he should do? He and Katie should autograph it and put it up on eBay. It would fetch a lot more money there than just some dumb ol' used sonogram machine would.

Those sure are pretty buildings. You can see my office window in that first picture, of the two shiny new buildings. I'm in the building on the left. That's me waving. Amazing that I am the first (of many, I assume) to post comments on this very popular thread. Oh, that's right, opinions of the National Stuttering Agency ("So where do you work?"

Watching the Aggies duke it out with the Longhorns yesterday made me a little homesick. For TEXAS. For Texas, of all places.

What we need is for Bush to go back to Texas and stay there And yet you rebuke him for dawdling and going on vacation in Crawford. I know that's not what you meant, but... Haven't you ever heard of the "constructive" part of "constructive criticism"?! Offer some solutions, smarty pants!

Or maybe the fact that Arnold is/was an actor has left a bad taste in their mouths. A politician is only as good as his/her advisors.

If "thou shalt not get knocked up" was part of the initial contract, then by any means she should get canned. If this contract is anything like BYU's Honor Code , then yes, it was in the contract.

Nice job, dude. That's what Thanksgiving is for. We ate at 2:30 and I am still full. And I didn't go crazy, either. I love Thanksgiving. Aren't you glad there won't be a weigh-in on Monday? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your lovely wife!

Here is my response to his email: Hi again Mr. Lafayette, Thank you for your response. Quite honestly, I was not expecting one. I am glad that you and others feel you are filling a public need. Because open debate is a wonderful thing. While I am not one to muck-rake or stir up contention, I am also of a mind that your opinions are trying to do just those things. I cite certain screeds on the front page of your site r

Do you really think the Iranians are "doing just fine"? Yes, I think the Iranians are scoring quite well on their externals. They have a pretty sound economy, good oil exportation rates (without being a member of OPEC), and they are pretty liberally minded for an oppressive religious regime. They have
