Need to add an 'ed' to the end of that word. :-)

Thanks aomagrat.

I remember the CNN series on the Cold War, and the subtle spin they inserted.

Let me take a wild guess. It was all our fault.

[snippy_about_it]

determined to make himself into McGovern II.

I hope so!

If I never have to go to DC again I won't unless it's to see the Vietnam Memorial after construction is finished.

Hope they had a good turn out, we didn't know about it but unless it's at night we couldn't have made it anyway.

There are two franchises. Wild Bird Center and Wild Bird Unlimited. We will independently own and operate a Wild Bird Center. We are getting lots of 'general' information that would apply to any retail operation and then of course more specific information for the WBC stores. The design and reasons behind it are coming into focus. I will just have to learn to work within our budget. :-)

[snippy_about_it]

We thought WBU was too restrictive. At WBC we can carry our own items in addition to theirs. That's a big plus. We have some of our own ideas ya know. :-)

[Professional Engineer]

but like the Center's philosophy and more freedom to operate the store our way.

He heh heh, the market has spoken. I wish y'all luck in your endeaver.

I still wanna ride in your M-16.

I do this on a daily basis. Some budgets are bigger than others, but it's still all in a day's work. It usually isn't alot of fun trying to explain to a building owner why he has to spend ANOTHER 100 grand, whne the project is already overbudget. Usually. Sometimes it's fun.

I hear Remington makes a fine line of shotguns. ;-)

[Valin]

No disagreement here. I seem to recall a movie made of "Salem's Lot".

And this is a good thing.
I've got a brother in Fargo, and (I swear) every bird within 30 miles knows his house.

Sean Hannity said on his radio program today that tomorrow night he will have Lech Walesa as guest on Hannity & MUTE.

The above account of the Cold War smells like CNN's moral equivalence.

Per The Black Book of Communism 100,000,000 were murdered by Communists.

CNN likes to call the pukes who cut Olin Edward Armstrong's head off "militants".

What I call CNN is [expletive deleted].

The work of Senator Joseph McCarthy was vindicated by the publication of the Venona decrypts.

One very useful summary is Ann Coulter, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terror, Crown, 2003.

Coulter's Acknowledgements begins with "Deserving of the most hysterical liberal blacklisting for helping me with this book are: M. Stanton Evans, the world's leading authority on Senatory Joseph McCarthy. . . ."

As I never tire of recalling, I had the pleasure to watch Evans, then editor of the Indianapolis News slice, dice and julienne Dr. Robert Risk of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union in 1964.

Afterwards fellow YAFers and I had a shouting match with Risk's hangers-on, bearded marxists no doubt from under rocks at IU where R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. would've been keeping their heads down with withering barbs.

The same ComSymps_tm are alive and well today--

Case in point, Jean FifthColumn Kerry, who told Fulbright the racist Clinton-mentor "we cahn't fight Communism all over the globe, and I thought we should've learned that lesson by now."

Strobe Talbott at the end of the reign of traitorrapist42 predicted the withering away of the nation state--yet all we see is the withering away of the Kerry Koup attempt on the last bastion of capitalist freedom.

Ted Turner, what is the Western equivalent to Stassi machinegunning Berliners scrambling to freedom, or Fidel sinking and drowning the ferryboat fugitives from the Cuban paradise of universal literacy and exquisite health care?

Thanks to Ronald Reagan--whom John Forges Kerry "proudly" opposed--we defeated the Soviet drive for world domination.

Not peaceful coexistence, not moral equivalence, not UN-brokered conflict resolution--

American resolute strength beat Soviet corrupt totalitarianism.

And John Kerry and Dan Rather and Ted Kennedy and Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings and Katie Couric et al were and remain deeply saddened.

To these I say a profound nyah nyah nyah nyah.

In other news, CBS' Dan Rather announced he would apologize and resign "when Hell freezes over".

"Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives... by make-believe."

That is good. Who said it?

May I use it for my tagline? I will remove it at once if you wish.

Close, they kept mentionionig some guy named Bush" as being to blame. ;-)

You said it, I didn't ;-)

I still wanna ride in your M-16.

Thanks PE. You and the family get the first ride. :-)

I hear Remington makes a fine line of shotguns. ;-)

OOOO! I like it!!

[SAMWolf]

I seem to recall a movie made of "Salem's Lot".

I think they did two, not sure though. I do know the first one was really bad.

LOL! Sounds like my house. :-)
