There is no reason why a preacher needs a private jet. Nonetheless, both of those snake oil salesmen have G4s (or better).

And, as to political views, what is wrong with being against the Canadian seal slaughter and in favor of manatee/wetland protection?
Maybe for his next tour Jimmy can add a verse on ALgore the enviromental hypocrit flying in private jets to reduce carbon footprints.

I am all for seal harvesting they make for some awesome coats. The manatee meh, I'm ok with them. I sail and anything that annoys motor boaters is ok with me.

You would. :wink:

I shouldn't be making comments about hair as most of mine fell out 8 years ago...Same time as around when W took office.
Mine went from slightly gray to Phil Donohue gray 15 years ago.
(The same time Wilhelm Von der Schlickmeister became president).

What is it like having the State of Iowa overrun with politicians/news people every 4 years?

I'm SICK of hearing about the Iowa caucus and I'm three states away. :D
It's enough to make you friggin' VOMIT!
We've been being pelted with TV commercials, phone calls, flunkies coming to our door, and I want to F'ING VOMIT!

TODAY, in Iowa City we have Obama, MRS. BILL Clinton, Richardson, and Chris Dodd all stumping for their place in the "Hawkeye Cawk-eye."

OBAMA,
CLINTON,
RICHARDSON,
DODD

A black, a b*tch, a hispanic, and a regular American.
That's what we here in flyover country refer to as a BALANCED TICKET. :roll:

Yeah-they ran him off because he has the audacity to be a decent, honorable, God-fearing, morally upright human being.
Imagine that.

It's "FLYOVER COUNTRY" because after tomorrow none of those twits will be able to find Iowa on a map.

If it'll make you feel better, I'll soften my above statements to THREE regular Americans & a b*tch.
Better?

and my grandparents came from what is now the Czech Republic-and I'm NOT regular. That's why I drink prune juice

Sounds like unless someone is a "regular American" (whatever that is) they're subject to lynching in the Hawkeye State.
I'm sure Garry doesn't need any help defending himself, but that's some leap in logic to take his post and twist it into advocating lynching.

edit: I notice you deleted the post telling Garry and Skibo to run on the KKK ticket. Funny how people on the right are the ones always being vilified for being divisive. :roll:

Should I tell him I'm actually going to caucus for Barack Obama tomorrow?

I used to have a roommate who would register republican for the primary so she could, in effect, vote against her least favorite candidate.

And, speaking as someone from Connecticut, the aforementioned "Jew" ran himself off from the Democrats.

Oh, he knew the score. He lost the primary, pretty badly, but knew that the republicans didn't have a strong candidate, and because of that, many republican voters who agreed with his policy views would back him if he went independent, and that's exactly what happened. Why he still caucuses with the Dems doesn't make much sense to me, but because he does, they maintain their slim majority.

I don't know why he does either. I guess all in all, he's slightly more left than right, but I know the Democrats are VERY afraid to p*ss him off.
And with good reason.

Well as one of those so called news people in your great state let me first remind you that we weren't the people that had to move the caucus's up to the 3rd of Jan. Just so you could have the honor of being first to decided who will be our next president, or maybe it was the fact that you all didn't want to lose a ton of money that the press brings into to your great state. This being my fifth caucus I would be totally happy to start off some where down south. To give you all an idea this morning at six o'clock it was one degree (without the wind chill factor)as we headed out for our shoot. With all that a side let be the first to thank you for totally screwing my Christmas and New Years. After spending a week and a half here in Iowa I managed to arrive home on Christmas Eve only to leave on the 26th, I'm still here and it looks like I may make it home on Friday. Oh and one other thing you folks need to learn how to drive, never in my life have I've seen so many cars and trucks in ditches. I've personally driven over a thousand miles in this state, and when I leave this business I'm planning on opening a tow truck operation! :o
