Nice troll, Kendall! My guess is the woman captain would have more problems with the male tank drivers getting lost and not asking for directions. Combat boots are basic black and go with everything.

I tend to think that, during a war, there's more shooting done by folks who are pissing themselves, scared to death somebody's gonna spatter their guts any second - not the John Wayne "let's go kick us some ass" Hollywood bullshit that some folks seem to swallowed as reality. The folks that place people in situations where they must kill do so dispassionately. I tend to think that decisions to go to war aren't based on testosterone or even anger but for political or economic power.

I do have to admit, seriously, that women would be more apt to do away with war altogether. War is a "guy thing" and women lack the testosterone to be good at blowing innocents to hell.

predictions?

The Democrats will win a bigger than expected majority in the Senate. They will pick up three seats and due to a pre-election insurance deal, they will pick up a fourth by the party switch of Chafee.

Also due to the lowest Republican turn-out (voter) in Midwest history, In a surprise the House will also become Democrat majority.

They will investigate the possibility of an impeachment of Bush, but will not have a big enough majority in the house to actually pull it off -- besides, with only two years left and a snowball's chance in hell of reelection, the idea is voted down behind closed doors.

The White House will change hands in 2004(5) with Kerry winning a significant majority over a deflated Bush campaign. For insurance, there will be a reportedly viable third party candidate -- Independent (probably McCain) to split the vote in such a way as to ensure no possibility of a Republican win (if we learned NOTHING else from Perot).

In Kerry's second term the Democrat controlled government will call for a Constitutional Convention. It will first be "billed" as a convention to merely "modernize the language" of an archaic constitution, but once it is polled that a majority of Americans see the reason for this language update and clarification, the actual proposed changes will make a Constitution that is virtually unrecognizable.

There will be a terrorist attack during Kerry's first term that will make 9/11 seem insigificant by comparison. Kerry will ride the popularity of his response to both 1. his second term, and 2. the enactment of many of the Ashcroft/Bush type reforms that, under a Republican raised the hair on the back of people's necks, but under a guy they think they can trust will seem resonable.

Included in these reforms will be military guards at borders -- once the Democrat majority is ensured it majority in perpetuity it will no longer be necessary to divide a now shrinking pie (as the economy crumbles under a lack of new tech development or need in Kerry's second term) to too many mouths to feed.

A major media reform will take place wherein, in the name of fairness and quality, journalism liscensing will become law. It will at first be seen skeptically until, within a week of a vote taken on the issue, a right-wing radio host causes a major scandal by mis-reporting an event. Then a mass-murderer will be found to have connections to yet another right-wing media personality.

And maybe I'll write a hit record too.

You're right there's a voting scandal coming up in Florida. Remember those 90,000+ folks disenfranchised in 2000 when they were "purged" from the voter rolls?

Well, even though Florida has admitted they are legitimate voters and shouldn't have been purged, they aren't going to reinstate them until January 2003 -- after the election.

But my favorite good news for the day: the LA Times reports that a federal judge has issued a injunction for a world-wide ban on the US Navy's new low-frequency sonar. Use of the sonar has been accompanied my mass beachings and disruptions in mating where ever it has been used. In order to lift the injunction, the court ordered the Navy, the Marine Fisheries Service, and environmentalists to meet and work out a compromise on places in the world where it would be safe to use the ultra-loud, ultra-low frequency sonar without killing and injuring marine animals.

In Leon County, where Tallahassee is located, Jeb is running behind two to one. But we are almost the only county with efficient polling, thanks to Ion Sancho and my new voting card came out marking me as male. So we can't even count on votes counting in Leon. Jeb's campaign has been very dirty but McBride has exposed a good deal of hypocracy in his adds. (Kendall you wouldn't mistake me for male would you...I mean eveywhere else but in my head?)

Oh, there will still be a war if Bush can pull it off. He needs to fuel the fires that provide an excuse to beef up the US Gestapo and get rid of more of those rights we still have. He needs to get re-elected and if the international issues quiet down people will look a bit at domestic issues such as the economy.

Our race for Congress has got to be the weirdest I've ever seen.
I've received a page - in color and on heavy paper - from the Republicans every day for a couple of weeks. The name on the papers, and the pictures, are of Martha Fuller Clark, the DEMOCRATIC candidate. Several of them gave the phone number. They said to call and thank her for advocating a state income tax. I called the number. I told the person who answered "The Republicans said I should call & thank MFC for advocating a state income tax, so please pass on my thanks. I can't think of a more logical thing to base a tax on than income."

Yesterday, the ad said something about Martha Fuller Clark not wanting to increase funding for the military our ability to wage war. There were a couple of hippie types on the back with the guy flashing the peace sign. Me: "Oh gosh, I didn't know she was against more military spending, and I used to look like those people! Well, here's another reason to vote for her!"

I get phone calls too. Some are recordings, some are real people. I've thanked a couple of them for making me aware of MFC and giving me the phone number. I actually enjoy talking to them.

If it weren't for the daily mailings and the daily phone calls (where do they get so much money?!) I probably wouldn't care so much about voting for Martha Fuller Clark.

I don't have a clue what the Republican candidate has said he/she stands for and I can't even recall his/her name. Talking about shooting yourself in the foot...

I think Little Hawk must have a bit of the fortune teller in him. Here's a feel-good story I really like.

Allan

By JAMES WALKER - Thursday quarterback

In an age when arrogance and "Sharpie" pens steal the national spotlight, it is often the smallest, most unnoticed acts of kindness that remind us that football is merely a game.

The story, which is destined to become legendary in Southern Ohio circles, starts in Waverly.

Northwest football coach Dave Frantz and Tigers' coach Derek DeWitt shared a conversation the week leading up to the game.

But the two coaches weren't discussing strategy, instead they were talking about a mentally-handicapped Northwest player by the name of Jake Porter.

Porter, a senior, has a disorder called "Chromosomal Fragile-X," which is the most common cause of inherited mental retardation.

Porter still shows up on time for practice every day and dresses in full gear during games, but he has yet to take an official snap in a football game.

Frantz wanted that streak to end last Friday.

"I told them (Waverly) ahead of time that he can't take a hit or anything," Frantz said. "If the game's not at stake on the last play, I wanted him to come in and take a knee."

Yet a week after their conversation, with Waverly leading 42-0 with five seconds remaining, coach DeWitt offered Frantz one better.

"During the timeout, he met me in the middle of the field and said 'We'll let him score,'" Frantz explained. "(Initially) I said 'Nah.' Then we talked about it with the referees, and they said 'Hey coach, we understand."

What soon followed will forever go down in Southern Ohio football lore.

At Waverly's 49-yard line, Porter entered the game at tailback, had his play, "84-iso," called in the huddle, and when the ball was snapped all 21 players parted ways.

Porter was somewhat surprised when he slowly walked through the huge hole. He initially turned back around to the original line of scrimmage, but everyone on the field -- including defensive players from Waverly -- pointed and guided Porter toward the Tigers' end zone.

"When we practiced it, he was supposed to down it, so I think he was a little confused at first," Northwest tailback Zach Smith said. "But once he figured it out, he took off."

The 49-yard trek to glory took about 10-12 seconds in all, and was culminated by players from both sidelines cheering and running step-for-step with Porter to the end zone.

Tears flowed from the bleachers well into the night, and the life of one young man was changed forever.

"At Waverly, we didn't do anything special. We were just happy to be a part of that," a humbled DeWitt said. "That young man was just excited to get the ball. Our guys didn't care about the shutout, those stats went out the window.

"When you're involved in a moment like that, you want to make sure you end the game with class, decency and respect."

Those who play football on the highest levels should take notice.

No pen that Terrell Owens ever pulls out of his sock could write a scene more touching than this.

The US is a UN member and a permanent member of the security council and, as such, is perfectly free to advocate it's position in this matter.

The argument is neither tired nor old. That was then, this is now.

Then, Iraq invaded Kuwait and our mission was to get them out of there. At that time, American oil companies were on an equal footing with everyone else for Iraq's oil. Of course if Kuwait's main export were broccoli, we wouldn't have bothered.

Now, it is illegal for U.S. oil companies to deal with Iraq due to the oil embargo. Meanwhile, Sadaam has been signing contracts with other nations to sell them oil when the embargo is lifted, leaving U.S. oil companies out in the cold.

The solution is to topple Sadaam, colonize Iraq, void the existing contracts, and allow U.S. oil companies back into the game.

Your absolutely right that we could have taken over Kuwait or Iraq (or anyone else for that matter) but it would have been rather blatant and was not as necessary then as it is now. Now we have a war on terrorism which seems to justify toppling any government for any reason.

Hope you're right, Kendall. I hate Repubs (well, except for the ones I like...) and the US won't have a clue just how bad they are runnin' the show as long as they have any excuses for their miserable failures., like Dems, who I just dislike (except for the ones I like). So bring 'em on....

And I hope and pray you are right on Iraq because if Bush gets some folks killed over there, he's off my Christmas card list forever.

You had better leave the gin INSIDE the ball, fellow. Feel better in the morning, too.
