"Peter Duniho" wrote in message Guys like these are why Democrats don't win elections. Every intelligent thing a liberal leader says is undermined by some clueless jackass like this As opposed to all the clueless jackass Republicans? (Rush, O'Reilly, et al) Exactly. The only difference being, the jackass Republicans--which is certainly not to say all Republicans are jackasses--are more convincing than the jackass Dems. Come on...both parties have plenty of clueless jackasses to go around. Absolutely NO argument there. Anybody know the Vancouver pilot that crashed in Portland, Oregon this weekend? Nope...I did find myself wondering if the airplane was a Cessna 150 though... I catch your meaning. Looked to me that the airplane was green, but I haven't seen much. -c |

I don't doubt the Democrats will polish their jackass act eventually. [...] I catch your meaning. Looked to me that the airplane was green, but I haven't seen much. Me either...only images I saw were on the nightly news, sounds similar to what you saw. But all I caught was a tiny portion of what MIGHT have been the vertical stabilizer. Hardly enough to ID an airplane. Pete |

Rockhound from "Armegeddon". The quote is usually a toss up between Schirra and Grissom as to who actually said it. My guess would be Schirra. Sounds just like something he would have said; great practical joker! Dudley Henriques |

I've been a regular in sci.research.careers, and they've got a guy over there who doesn't even bother waiting for me to post something in order to mis-represent my views. Rich Lemert It's become more or less expected on these groups by many who post on them. It's no big deal really, but it takes a lot of the fun out of posting and eventually runs a lot of fairly well qualified and experienced people off the groups, or as it has done in my case, turns them into totally hostile posters. My Usenet persona has come 180 degrees from when I first arrived on Usenet 6 years ago, especially on this group right here. I used to assume a neutral or even friendly atmosphere from posters until shown otherwise. I now assume a totally hostile environment unless I know the poster I'm dealing with (and there are indeed some very fine people here) or the people posting with me demonstrate to me that they are not hostile.

My family, my friends, my professional associates past and present, and indeed even my country's government at the highest level seem to be quite happy with things just the way they are. Only on Usenet will one find the idiots an issue like this one will attract. Oh, they exist IRL as well, but they can't hide behind anonymous signatures so they are less prone to expressing themselves. It's far more hazardous there. :-)) So they tend to talk among themselves where they might find some one who will listen.

Actually, my curiosity has been piqued by all this nonsense being thrown out here about not being on a data base.
