Hey Bernw, we could always start a neck hump thread again? Or maybe a pomade thread? 
Wait, no, I've got it. We can start a vicious internet rumor that Pailin has a neck hump that was caused by pomade!
One more Palin observation

Campaign confirms Palin did not go beyond Iraqi border Posted: 04:08 PM ET
From CNN's Peter Hamby and Rebecca Sinderbrand A Palin aide confirmed details of her foreign travel Saturday.
(CNN) – Sarah Palin did not visit troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican VP nominee confirmed Saturday, as new details emerged about the extent of the Alaska governor’s foreign travel.
In July of last year, Palin left North America for the first time to visit Alaskan troops stationed in Kuwait. Palin officials originally said her itinerary included U.S. military installations or outposts in Germany and Kuwait, and that she had visited Ireland. An Alaska spokeswoman for Palin had said Iraq was also one of the stops on that trip.
The Boston Globe reported Saturday that Palin visited the Iraqi side of a border crossing — but never journeyed past the checkpoint.
Earlier: McCain defends Palin's experience level
Earlier, campaign aides confirmed reports that Palin’s time in Ireland on that trip had actually been a re-fueling stop.
The Obama camp – which has increasingly accused the McCain campaign of deliberately lying in ads and on the stump – was quick to highlight to that story, along with a news report that explored whether the McCain campaign have been sending out wildly inflated crowd estimates.
The McCain team has twice pointed to law enforcement as the source for those estimates – but the same officials denied to Bloomberg News that they had provided the numbers cited by the Republican nominee’s campaign.
"The McCain campaign said Governor Palin opposed the Bridge to Nowhere, but now we know she supported it,” said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor in a statement. “They said she didn't seek earmarks, but now we know she hired a lobbyist to get millions in pork for her town and her state. They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border. Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?”
A Palin spokesperson also confirmed Saturday that the governor had visited Mexico on a personal vacation trip. She has also visited Canada.

Woah. I've been to Canada too. Maybe I can get on the VP ticket somehow... Clearly I'm as qualified in my foreign policy with my extensive travels. Oh. Wait, I've been to Europe and Central America as well. Shoot. Over qualified...

Oh and she's experienced enough to deal with countries like Russia. McSame says so so it must be true. See, Alaska and Russia ALMOST touch at the Bering Strait!! Next thing they're going to tell us is that she likes Vodka.
I may disagree with republicans on issues, but I never realized the full extent of the mindless drone attitude that exists in the republican base. There were better qualified people McSame could have chosen. God I can't wait for the debates.
Even Joe Lieberman is laughing!

I learned a lesson from a Johnny Cash song years ago: "The One On The Right Is On The Left." In any great group like ours, if you state a favorite political party, you piss off 50% of your friends. Is it worth it?? No matter who ends up president our guitars are still going to sound great!!

Yea I really have so much to lose if some bedroom guitarist on the GDP thinks I'm an asshole because I think Palin is a mooseburger eating secessionist who speaks in pentacostal tongues and thinks the earth is only 6,000 years old.
Oh muh lawd! what will I do!!?!?

Being able to see Russia from Alaska gives one some foreign policy experience? I can see the moon from my house but I do not think it gives me any experience as an astronaut.

What about the posters in this thread that have Jimmy Hendrix and The Stray Cats as avatars. Should they also remove their avatars when making political points?
Yes, I do see what you mean and I can also see right through you.

For the record: Based on his writings, particularly those of his later years, I think if Mark Twain were alive today he might agree with some of my opinions if not necessarily how I express them. However, his presence in my avatar implies no endorsement - either real or imagined. (Rumors of his endorsement have been greatly exaggerated.)
Tony's got a right to use whatever he wants for his avatar, and express his opinion however he wants, just like the rest of us. While I may agree with absolutely none of Tony's opinions, I do think The Duane Eddy Tribute Page is a great reference for DE information and a pretty cool site.

Undoubtedly he has the right to use whatever he wants as an avatar (unless the image itself is of an illegal nature).The one he is using looks kind of 'official' for want of a better word.I just wanted some clarification.But he already knows that!

Or unless it exceeds the 80x100 pix size... which it does. You guys just leave him alone... he plays by his own rules. -

Now there's a stretch! If one person who disagrees with you somehow offends you, then all who disagree with you must therefore:
A) Also be guilty of the same offense.
B) Represent and support an organization that not only also is guilty of the same offense but has it as one of the central tenets of their beliefs.
C) Be somehow affiliated with the organization that Hitler used to rise to power in Germany in the 1920's and '30s.
A stunning example of the ad hominem attack at it's finest!
And a fine way to put an end to any chance of a civil discussion.
