The moronic leftie dupes on this thread are all pretty-much low-hanging fruit. But it keeps one in practice, nonetheless...

When we visited Kona, we of course went to a coffee plantation. Bought an outrageously expensive bag of coffee. Got back to the hotel, read the bag: "Guaranteed 10% Kona Coffee"

Now, it's off to finish packing for Kona, to get in some diving and catch some very large fish. I am green with envy!!! Have a great holiday!

ROFLMAO!!! Another "showpiece" of the Senate Democratic caucus licking the member of Osama Bin-Laden... columbian.com And all Trent Lott did was praise a 100-year-old former Dixiecrat. Wonder how OUTRAGED the WP and NYT will be at this vomit from Patty Murray?...

Will the WP and NYT now demand to know how much in campaign contributions Patty Murray got from OBL?...

Packing for Kona, huh? konaweb.com We hear so much how the Democrats are for the little people, are you at least taking one less fortunate than yourself with you?

Thanks. I have been very happy to have been able to build decent relations with you and Buddy and some others of the Administration's more reasonable critics. As you know, my tolerance for the over- the-top rancor here was practically exhausted after 9-11. (I still tend to treat Watson with kid gloves, because he seems a little "off" to me, but I am not so sure I will continue to bother.) Except for a fringe, as Americans, we have a lot more in common than is commonly acknowledged. That is practically guaranteed by the need for the major parties to moderate themselves in order to create embracing coalitions, and capture the unaffiliated. I think that is a good system, even if sometimes it seems to move too slowly or compromise too much. People make too much of the fact that Presidential elections tend to split evenly, as if that is an indication of polarization. Actually, it is an indication that a lot of people don't care much who is president, since each seems acceptable. That is why Bush could lose the popular vote, but begin his presidency with a 55% approval rating. As a conservative, I think that any big shift in electoral politics, even in my direction, should take time and be subject to a lot of debate. Good luck fishing, and Happy Holidays!
