All I know is I'm voting for the boogerman.
... I'll bight, who is that?


Where you listening to coast-to-coast AM last night when they asked the most important question this nation has ever faced ?how do you know the boogie man isn?t real?

He is real as long as you run away when he comes, but I was cornered as a child by a wolf that rushed at me from the darkness every time I closed my eyes to sleep. I have either never closed my eyes since or I accepted I would just have to go ahead and be eaten.

Maybe Powell is going to announce his support for Bushes invasion of Cuba?

You are becoming unhinged, Techs.

I was wondering that, too, regarding some other of his recent posts.

Who would you rather vote for?

Yes, and as usual I posted it way, way before anyone even had an inkling.

I guess I need a longer arm to pat myself on the back!

Powell made his endorsement fresh from his trip to Alaska, where he stood as a character witness at the corruption trial for Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens, calling him (in the face of some pretty solid FBI evidence and tapes) "an honest man" , among other sterling recommendations.

I like Powell, read his book & all ... but he hasn't been a case for solid judgment these last few years. This is just the dot under the exclamation point.

I haven't seen the transcript, but from what is reported Powell only referred to things that happened in Washington and his relationship with Stevens as a political ally.
