Thanks for the comments. It was simply something that I needed to say so that I could have it over and done with. Otherwise, it would have continued to bother me. The most irksome of these accusations is when someone who stands against Bush is labled un-patriotic that has to be one of the more narrow-minded things I've

Update: I asked the Irish guys if they were interested in going and wouldn't you know, they already have tickets. When I asked them why they didn't tell me..."well, you're a girl, who would have thought that a girl would want to go!" Apparently now there is debate about whether they want to go to the Celtic v. Liverpool game instead. That's a "no can do" in my book seeing as it is all the way in Connecticut and there's no way I'd make it

WTF. Dharma, I've admired your restraint in this situation thus far, but I'd say those days are over. Clearly these "women" (should that read "little girls") can't play nice so you shouldn't either. Good luck sorting this mess out, you know where to reach me if you need anything! (I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't get restationed there!!).

What about Tom Harkin? He's the only Senator from Iowa to have been reelected to a third term and has a pretty strong base within Iowa. It might be tough though because he endorsed Dean.

Usually when you talk about the political spectrum, you think of a straight line. On the left is liberalism, at its extreme socialism, or even farther communism. On the right, conservativism and its extreme fascism. This right-left spectrum is so common it is almost taken for granted. No one really questions why linear thought is employed, and the political scale,

I can't wait to get home, I think I have a package from amazon.co.uk waiting for me. Yes, I am that much of a dork that I can not wait for books by British authors to be released in the US, I simply order them online and have them shipped. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is there!

The picture has to have a webaddress. When you click on "image" in the comment box, it will ask to you put the webaddress in. Just copy and paste the address into the box and click "ok." In order for the picture to work, the address needs to end in .jpg or .gif, or some other image document ending. I'm not the most computer saavy, so I'm sure that my explanation is a bit confusing...but hopefully that made some sense. Anyone else w

i just check out there arses Hey, I'm not going to deny the perks. It's like the cheerleaders at football games--not the reason men watch, but an added bonus. Butts aren't why I'm tuning in, but a side benefit! I'll try to think of something insightful to add! But it might take me a while,

Sally: I'm not well versed enough to jump into that conversation, but I have been reading it. Most are surprised that I have any idea about the footballing world being not only a girl, but American as well! Usually those two categories fall into footballing ignorance! Rob: Yea, I hadn't really thought about Euro2004. I should probably find out if Lennon is coming before I fork over any cash!

Won't any of your friends just go anyway, even if they don't like football the atmosphere will be ace and I'm sure they'll have a good time anyway! There's a couple irish guys that are regulars in the pub I used to work at, so I might be able to convince them! I'll keep my fingers crossed! As it is, I

Sometimes the good players come. I went to the Newcastle v. DC United Game a few years back and Alan Shearer was there--getting his butt whooped by little Bobby Convey...well worth the site!

I think I went a little picture crazy. I'd have to find someone to go with me as well. My football love is not matched my any of my friends...and going it alone is not an option as Philly isn't THAT close. If it were a local game, I'd have no problem...hmm...must ponder. Wonder if I can hock any of my recently purchased books to pay for this endeavor???

Where have I been? Why did I not find out about this game until today. Apparently, on their US tour, Manchester United are going to be playing Glasgow Celtic in Philidelphia on July 28th. Now I simply have to decide if it is worth $50+ dollars and time off work to go up and see my all time favorite footballer, Neil Lennon. Ok, he's no Pires, Henry, Keane

Just like any other type of cuisine, there's the good and the bad. Some of the best meals I've eaten have been vegetarian, and some of the worst. I remember a particularly disgusting avacado sandwich. Bleck! But I've also had fabulous Maqbooleh made without the chicken (ie. vegetarian). One of the best meals ever--but you've got to like eggplant.
