    I saw a bumper sticker on a car the other day that read : George W Bush, empty warhead.

    These are great pics by the way.

    Yeah, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get to the event, Vance. My girlfriend, however, passed the airport and saw the Kerry/Edwards plane! Which was not nearly as thrilling as her going to the original Starbucks! 🙂

    Brad! You have a girlfriend! Does she post on your site? If not , why not? Please ask her to do so as I am in desperate need of support from my gender!!

    If you won’t ask her, I will !!!

    The only thing great about these "Americans" is they happen to agree with your agenda. It certainly does not make them great. Or even mediocre.

    Brad blogged about an old man in Washington state (I think) whose dying words were "vote democratic" If they were "vote republican" Brads comment would have been something to the effect of "despair and die you old fart"

    Paul,

    Thanks for nothing.

    Ed,

    What? When has Brad ever said anything to that effect ? You’re not making a point.

    Ed, I have several thousands of words posted here. If you have a problem with any of them, feel free to point it out.

    Beyond that, I’d appreciate if you didn’t otherwise put words into my mouth or ideas into the blogosphere on my behalf that don’t exist.

    You have done this several times now. You are wrong every time. I wouldn’t do it to you, or your side, please have the courtesy not to do it to me, or my side.

    Ed,

    Ed, this is what Brad blogged. If he would have said "vote republican." Brad would not have included it. The protestors are a joke. Fox News asked two of them what they were protesting and they both said "you’d have to talk to someone else" and "I have not been told what I am protesting today yet." A bunch of morons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The great people of this country are the ones who actually work!!!!!!! And the ones in the military!!!!!

    Robert A. Wenz, 78, of Tumwater, died August 14, 2004 at home. Born in Elma, he graduated from South Kitsap High School and from the University of Washington. He served in the U.S. Army, and was stationed in Japan. Robert was as ardent a Seattle Mariners fan as could be found. He will be missed by his many friends, including the squirrels and cats of his neighborhood. He is survived by his sister, Shirley, and close friends, Charles, Ronald, and Todd. His final wishes — vote Democratic in 2004.
