NBA...Bring Back The Legends

Subject	NBA...BRING BACK THE LEGENDS GAME!!!

Body	NBA All-Star Weekend has really fallen off in terms of excitement and drama.; with the exception of the 3-Point Competition, the Rookie Challenge against the second year players, and the actual all-star game itself. The dunk contest is a pale shell of its former self. Back in the day you had yearly rivalries involving the game's top dunkers.: Michael Jordan! Dominique Wilkins! Spud Webb! Clyde Drexler! Larry Nance...and on and on and on. Now the game's top dunkers dunk donuts rather than dunk against each other. Why aren't Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Steve Francis, Lebron James and others stepping up to the challenge??? The dunk contest with its yearly collection of little known players is a joke! Add to that the boring Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge competitions, and there's really little reason to watch. The solution is to bring back the NBA Legends Game. Back in the day legends played games against each other on All-Star Weekend. Games that were exciting! NBA wake up! Scrap the crap and bring our NBA greats back to us! There's no shortage of talent: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, Chris Mullin, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond...there's even room for Steve Kerr, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, and Sir Charles Barkley! BRING BACK THE LEGENDS GAME! BRING BACK THE EXCITEMENT! BRING BACK THE REAL ALL-STARS FOR ALL-STAR WEEKEND!!!

Flight Of The Ratpublicans!

Subject	FLIGHT OF THE RATPUBLICANS!!!

Body	Congratulations America on beginning the process of ousting the Ratpublicans from government. Yesterday's elections sent a clear message that many Americans are beginning to wake from the sleep spell that held them over the last decade. The Ratpublicans had all 3 branches of government...and blew it (there's a Mark Foley joke here somewhere). It was time for a huge change, and the November 7th elections proved that. The news just keeps getting better as Donald Rumsfeld (Robert McNamara, The 21st Century Edition) was chased from his hole today. Good job America! Wake up George Bush (A.K.A. HOWDY DOODY A.K.A. ALFRED E. NEWMAN), you have failed this country!!! King George, your castle has crumbled!!!

Evict The Republicans On November 7th

Body	Republican control of the government can be seen as one giant clusterfuck! The Iraq fiasco, a snail paced response to Hurricane Katrina, congressional sex scandals involving boys, the erosion of civil liberties under the auspices of The Patriot Act, and on and on... The Republicans, with all of their fire and brimstone religious rhetoric, have laid a paradigm for immorality in government. STOP THE INSANITY! VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 7TH! IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!

The Chicago Cubs: Content To Be Worst Instead Of First

Subject	THE CHICAGO CUBS: CONTENT TO BE WORST INSTEAD OF FIRST?

Body	What Jim Hendry and Chicago Cubs have done on the Northside is a disgrace! The franchise has a history of bone headed baseball moves (i.e. the Lou Brock trade), but let me focus on recent times. Jim Hendry has dismantled the pieces that made the 2003..team successful. He got rid of Kenny Lofton (the first real lead-off man in years), Moises Alou, Todd Walker, Mark Grudzielanek, and Matt Clement (who was obtained by trading away Dontrell Willis). ..Dusty Baker has been fired. Add to that the loss of Sammy Sosa; and the yearly pinning of hopes on busts like the always injured Kerry Wood, and Mark "The Underachiever" Prior. With all the subtractions of talent, Hendry has done VERY LITTLE to replenish the team... Cub fans deserve much better! We've waited long enough for a quality team to be assembled on the Northside, and for the end of the Billy Goat Curse! If Dusty was fired,..Hendry should have beaten him out the door!

Impeach George Bush
Topic: Politics

Subject	IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH
DateCreated	10/12/2006 9:55:00 PM
PostedDate	10/25/2006 12:11:00 AM
Body	It truly amuses me how Republicans, particularly conservative Republicans, have selective memory loss..along with..a love of the proverbial double standard. President Bill Clinton cheated on his wife..by..getting a..blowjob and playing hide the cigar with Monica Lewinski... He lied about it under oath, and consequently was..impeached. ..Until the end of his term in office, Fox News..went on a crusade against him and his "immorality." In contrast, President George Bush (who got into office without a majority of the popular vote) started a war..against a sovereign nation under the pretext of lies!.. During the run-up to the war in 2003, The Bush Administration went before the American public and the world body..--claiming with certainty-- that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was an imminent threat... Both were blatant lies!.. Iraq was so weak..as a result of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and..over a decade of sanctions..with an arms embargo, that it couldn't even get..one (1)..combat jet off the ground to defend itself during the 2003 U.S. Invasion..... Iraq had..neither the weapons of mass destruction, nor the means to deliver said weapons, half way around the world to threaten our borders. In sum, President Clinton's lies cost him his reputation... President Bush's lies have cost the lives of thousands of Americans..and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis... In addition, Bush's actions have cost the United States its international standing... How can..our country claim the moral high ground in current or future disputes when our government starts wars of aggression, kills thousands of people, and tortures many of those that aren't killed... Let it be noted that conservative Fox News has not gone on a media crusade against George Bush as they did with Bill Clinton... There also hasn't been a peep about Bush's immorality from them... Is this the result of selective memory, an ugly..political double standard, or both? If a blowjob can get a president impeached, what the hell should a president get for starting an illegal and immoral war...IMPEACH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH (A.K.A. HOWDY DOODY A.K.A. ALFRED E. NEWMAN) NOW!!!!..

Trick Or Treat???
Topic: Halloween

Body	Halloween is my favorite time of year!!! Long ago this was a huge holiday for children; but I suppose that's been dulled a bit by the dangerous society we live in. However, I still love this time of year, and I'm old as dirt. Scary movies, costumes, and even the spookier aspects. If you're a lover of horror movies, horror novels, and all things Halloween check out Classic Horror Books & Movies. If you have more occult/paranormal interests then check out this website. Happy Haunting!

Body	This past weekend I found a great place for Family Halloween fun in Homer Glen, Illinois called Bengston's Pumpkin Farm (http://www.pumpkinfarm.com). It's set up as a small theme park with pony and hayrack rides, a haunted barn along with a fun barn for younger children, a cool petting zoo, pumpkin carving and lots more. As far as food they had chicago pizza, chili, funnel cakes and cotton candy, and a few other things. I had hella fun with my 8 year old, and I definitely recommend checking it out.
