1. I think the only thing this dude knows is how to graze at the Kraft Services table.
Damn lazy Hollywood conservatives.

2. Fred doesn't appear to have currency on several topics. Jena 6 is one,

health care
education
international affairs
The Middle East
The Far East
The Near East
Anything east of the Mississippi River
Anything west of the Mississippi River
Farm policy
City management
Central America
South America
Canada
Mining history
History
Labor
Music
Art
Sports
Fashion
Film
Sculpture
Cooking
Thinking
Public Service.

Again, this is just a partial list.

12. Very kind of you.
I've been busy, but well, thanks for asking. Headed up to Boston to see JK speak next week. I'll post some video for you.
Nice avitar. I'm still undecided and waiting to be convinced.

:hi:

Your schedule sounds terrific, actually. Congrats and thank you.

11. Hey Tom. So good to see you. How's things our west?
My guess is you're enjoying the area of the country you live in (it is incredibly beautiful, after all, with plenty of Democrats in the vicinity).

I hope all's well your way.

14. Everything is pretty good, O C.
I couldn't even complain about getting a free ride home from the Tiburon Police in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

17. The funny part is...
He had passed me a couple of times as I was meandering down Main Street.

I went around a corner and there was a dumpster just waiting to be peed on. So I was more than willing to oblige.

Bad timing.

I must know every cop in Town but this guy.

He asked me where I lived and I just waved in the general direction of Old Town, up the hill.

Then, when he asked me for some ID, all I has was my State of Texas Identification Card.

He asked me for my Driver's License and I told him that I don't drive.

So he puts me (un-cuffed) in the car and drives me home. Asked me if there was someone there who could vouch for me. Exactly what I didn't need.

I gave him my key and told him if he went in the den, he would find a Martin guitar lying on the couch with a little plaque inside from the Martin Custom Shop to TomInTib. He wouldn't go for it.

Started banging on the door at 4AM.

GF, groggy-like, opens the door and sees me standing there with a cop.

That's when my troubles began.

You'd think I would learn.

But nooooo....

18. You Californians have all the fun.
Also from the sound of things you have great musical instruments.

I'm just glad you're ok.

4. No thoughts on the Schiavo case, "I don't know anything" about Jena 6.
This guy is Sgt. Schultz! "I know nothing, Nothing!"

5. He's uninformed and simply a symbol of "might" and you're asking
why he's still topping the Republican side of the ticket?

:rofl:

I think you answered your own question.

8. Fred is trash. He knows about the case, he just doesn't care.

10. Because the people whose support he's aiming for don't care about Jena.

If he admitted to ignorance of a Republican cause celebre, he'd lose support; not giving a damn about something liberals are excited about and conservatives aren't will actually work in his favour, I suspect.

20. Fred also didn't know anything about the Terri Schiavo case.
We already got an idiot in the White House, why not have an imbecile follow him?

21. That's really odd - half of the GOP was in bed with her.
Fred, where have you been?
