    Hello Bob!

    He couldnt bear the fact that his kingdoms had gone quiet.

    Not surprising. Either that he's chagrined or that many if not most
    folks left his echoes.

    As you might have read by now, he seemingly has been squatting on an
    echo that never really was his..

    Not surprising. ANd creating echoes with similar names is akin to hackers setting up false web sites to lure unsuspecting users. All from a man who claims that nobody can find a single instance where he has ever told a lie.

    At last - something for which to be thankful -- A Texas Politician
    gets convicted of "business as usual" by a Texas jury.

    The "Hammer" gets HAMMERED!!!

    (Reuters) - A Texas jury on Wednesday found former Republican House
    Majority Leader Tom DeLay, dubbed "The Hammer" for his hard-driving
    style, guilty of money laundering and conspiracy.

    DeLay was accused of conspiring to illegally funnel $190,000 in
    corporate campaign donations to Republican candidates for the Texas
    Legislature in the 2002 elections.

    Didn't Charlie Rangel just do the same thing, only he stuffed it in his own pocket ? Where's your outrage ?

    Not the same thing, Wrangel didn't get indicted, nor convicted in a court of law - just pilloried in Congress by Congress critters. Maybe he ought to go to jail - but, he needs to be tried in a court of law first. You go be outraged about Chuckie Wrangle all you want. I'll be content with being disgusted.

    I'm not even outraged at DeLay. After all, it was just business as usual. But, it happened to be illegal.

    ENJOY!!!

    Would you drink a glass of water with 390 parts per billion of
    botulism toxin?

    I am going to break my rule of not talking to you just to comment on
    this absolutely ridiculous comment. Are you equating carbon dioxide to botulism toxin ? Please tell me you aren't that stupid. I hope you
    realize that plants use carbon dioxide to live. It also has many other valuable uses.

    Seeing as botulism toxin is one of the most toxic substances known, perhaps that question was wrong.

    HOWEVER...

    Too much Co2 can be lethal as well.

    There's a lake in Africa, (forgot exactly where,) I saw an article in the National Geographic, about how every so often volcanic shifts on the lake bottom release very large amounts of Co2.
    Vast clouds that kill hundreds of people and whole herds of cows.

    I have been reading more and more about Global Climate Change, one good
    source that isn't political, and exposes the crap being thrown around by Deniers is here, at the Skeptic's Dictionary:

    He does portray himself as if he walkeths on water.

    Listing echotags isnt the problem, many moderators do that to prevent issues, I
    maintain my echotags, whether I have them in distribution or not, to prevent their ressurection Bobby Queen style.
