Nonetheless, in a lot of ways, I'd prefer Cheney.

But I can't say he's ever shown up in my dreams - even my tame boring dreams.

Government should be dull, no?

When are you getting those Harry Potter books? [apologies if this constitutes personal information.]

Flagburner.
Good thing I'm not in Tennessee. Is TN still part of America? I think you might like it there.

Check the other thread. I have delegated that to my husband and children, who just returned with 2.

I scored a Harry Potter insignia frisbee by showing up earlier this evening wearing a cloak, however. (I left my dagger at home, for use on this forum.)

*None of this namby-pamby "chairwoman" or worse, "chairperson."
President Cheney might be fun. On national tv, watching emergency personnel apply the paddles to slippery dick's chest and hollering "clear." But how do you start something that isn't there? Still, we wouldn't have to wait for the odd pretzel-miracle to get the next change in command. However:
1a) did he turn it from unprofitable or just manage to keep it going?,
1b) are Halliburtons illegal contracts a new profit center, or a Dick-innovation?
2) imo, the moderators outperformed the field,
3) Good for him, let's elect her,
4) He swears like a sailors' mother. The man gags on it. If you want billingsgate, elect someone who is comfortable with it.

You think you're the first one to come up with this?

Come ON....

Anyway, I'd actually prefer Cheney. Bush's policies are whatever his advisors (including Cheney) tell him they are anyway. If Cheney were POTUS, as least we wouldn't have any more of those painfully inarticulate and moronic press conferences.

Acutally, yeah, on second thought, I'd miss those I guess.

Also, why would Rove have to be out for Cheney to be in? Is there a succession rule that I'm missing?
