  • I have to know, what's a Bob Evans?
  • Thanks for this one. Brownies are my very favorite thing in the world and I can't wait to try them.
  • I'm glad folks are enjoying this recipe. I like your embellishments (chicken and feta), and think that grilled shrimp would make another great variation.
  • I have no negative judgment about Gov. Palin or her daughter, and I sure don't think poor choices equal terminal stupidity (if they did, I would've been dead a long time ago). Again, as stated above, I was only commenting on the failure of the abst…
  • I'm not biting. We've been there and done that, and besides, my dog needs a walk. But, as always, nice chatting with you, Ray! Seems like old times....
  • Oh, Ray! I can't quite make the leap of comparing consensual sex among minors with murder and rape but, okay, I'll work with you here. How about if we teach abstinence as the ideal for anyone who is not prepared for ALL of the consequences of being …
  • I don't have a problem whatsoever with a political candidate having an underaged, pregnant child, and I agree that candidates' kids should not be turned into political fodder. Heck, I didn't hold it against Dubya when his daughters were boozing it u…
  • The Democratic party can't ask this officially, so I will: Hey, Gov. Palin -- how's that whole "abstinence only" thing workin' out for ya? Sorry, I just had to come out of retirement for this one.
  • Hey dilemma, I spent my formative years (3rd thru 9th grade) in your area. My dad worked in downtown Little Rock but we lived in North Little Rock in the Lakewood subdivision. My best friend lived in a house overlooking the Old Mill (which I'll bet…
  • Paul, I agree on two points: One, it's fine to disagree and argue. I think this has been an interesting thread and I've learned from it, plus the disagreement has been respectful; not a "bullsh*t conversation" at all in my book. I also agree that …
  • Good post, missk. There's no empirical support for the "liberal media" theory, at least not that I'm aware of. Credible content and linguistic analysis just don't bear it out. Thanks for a "fair and balanced" -- not to mention intelligent -- contr…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-11-07 AT 05:55PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Oh, but I never said one way or the other whether I support the "Fairness Doctrine." I'd have to learn more about it to decide. But if this Doctrine doesn't appl…
  • Steaks and Nae, I think you're both exactly right. Which is ultimately my answer to Paul, above: In the world of commerce, we vote with our pocket books. I will attempt, through my patronage and customer feedback, to influence media outlets and so s…
  • It might be true that he wasn't fired, per se, but just that his show was pulled in one or more markets. Either way, the point remains that it was a business decision made by his employer or his "de facto" employer in the form of the station carryin…
  • Free speech has been invoked a couple of times in this thread. Let's remember, please, that our constitution guarantees our freedom of speech will not be abridged by the government. Neither the consitution nor the government keeps corporations and o…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-17-07 AT 09:42PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I recently called someone a "jer#-off." Does that count? I thought that was nicer than my first choice of "toxic b@stard," but perhaps my standards are too low. …
  • Wow, when you suggested that, I'll bet you didn't know that she and I went to the same high school. She graduated two years before me.
  • Even though I'm terribly hurt that Paul hasn't cast the role of Whirlwind in his musical (and, therefore, I'm not speaking to him directly), I'll suggest a few more numbers: Livin' on a Prayer -- Bon Jovi Lawyer, Guns, and Money -- Warren Zevon B…
  • It's very sad that I've taken this quiz before and I still missed the math question. That explains why I had to go into HR.
  • It's raining here too...still. Nevertheless, I'm about to start making roasted potato salad in preparation for a friend's backyard BBQ later tody. Not sure what the rain plan is --- grilling burgers in the garage, maybe? They don't have a covered pa…

  • Elizabeth, Check out the alternative dressing recipe I posted over on your ranch dressing thread.
  • I used to go there all the time, then it became a dead zone. I have a recipe for you at home that I'll post later tonight!
  • "Have a nice day elsewhere" is one that I enjoy using. It's a great little pointless conversation ender.
  • Ray, did you mean to ask, "Who will be the next Democratic nominee?" -- or are you Republicans throwing in the towel already? ;;) SMace, I think I hear that closet-rummaging sound too. It must be Obama's closet they're working on, since I believe H…
  • I went shopping with someone who was in the market for cowboy boots. When we arrived at the store and found the parking lot nearly empty and the store eerily quiet, I thought I'd landed in an episode of the Twilight Zone or else the whole economy wa…
  • I've had vocabulary tutoring from Ray.
  • Okay, okay, I guess a peaceful Thanksgiving long weekend can't pass without a controversy. >what's wrong with some raucous >in-your-face attacks, heated political >discussions, and social commentary on current >events? Heated po…
