We have two new members as of yesterday.
Welcome to Durango and Jim Hauser! * http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Last night I broke our Politics forum out into a category of it's own and added several forums within. We needed more room to discuss politics. Check it out and start some threads if you like.

The State Department has issued a warning to Americans in the Middle East to be watchful for kidnappers. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/red_eyes.gif *No kidding! I would have been very careful for a long time if I was over there.

Benjamin Netanyahu made the rounds of the political commentary shows last night. He was very interesting. I hope you all saw his speech before the Senate yesterday. There is a link to an article that Anauka posted below.

Israel has withdrawn from three towns on the West Bank but they have just entered the city of *Bir Zeit with tanks.

Posted in our Forums:<ul>Bush: 'Life Is A Creation, Not A Commodity' (http://gopusa.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=6&topic=44)

Just time for a &quot;drive by&quot; this morning. *Now that the time has changed, 4:30 is really 3:30 so now I'm sleeping till 5http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif0 and having to rush, rush, rush.:shocked:

Welcome to the new members, Durango and Jim Hauser, http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif
jump right in. *Let us know what you think about things.

SR ~ maybe you will see this before you leave on your trip ~ I'm in central Florida (the Sebring area) actually between Sebring and Tampa. *A place called Zolfo Springs ~ a blip on the map. *This area is also know as &quot;heaven's waiting room.&quot; :shocked::wink: *Have a great time, but be prepared for &quot;weather shock&quot;. *It's in the high eighties here ~ bring your bikini and sandals.:biggrin:

Well, gotta a run ~ will check back later ~ starting tomorrow I'll be off for three days, so maybe I'll be around more often. *I can hope.</span>

We have 3 new members this morning!!!

Small Town Boy, Pro1, and MLResch, Welcome to http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif
We're very glad you have joined us! Just jump right in and get acquainted!

I've just heard that a suicide bomber set himself off before he reached his destination in Ramallah.

Our Florida State Editor, Bill Dillon, suggested a forum to discuss the priniciples of the founding fathers. This is a fascinating subject and I hope you will join in.

RIM, it's the high 80s already? *I guess I don't envy you that. It's been very nice here but today it's cloudy and warm. Of course, warm to me is probably not the same as warm to you. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif We'll be glad to see you around more on your days off! *

Greetings to all!

Yesterday, http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif posted a news link to a poll on USA Today titled &quot;Poll: USA leans Democratic for Congress&quot; --&gt; <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/2002/04/10/usat-poll.htm

A" target="_blank">http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/2002/04/10/usat-poll.htm

A</a> reader sent me an e-mail asking what I thought about the results and what the GOP should do about them.

Rather than stating my opinions now, I thought this would be a good topic for discussion.

I'm sure my boss (Terri) will find the best place for this posting. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Take care,

Bobby

Welcome Iowaslim! *We are glad you're here. Come talk to us! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
There's a lot going on today.

Secretary of State Powell has arrived in Tel Aviv.

Bill Clinton has been hired as a senior adviser to a Los Angeles-based investment company. The short blurb I saw also said he will be serving as counsel to two investment funds. SAY WHAT??? WHY? *This man doesn't even have a law license anymore.
:shocked: *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/red_eyes.gif *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *:o
Better make sure you don't have any money in those funds!!

I put it in Politics/Congress but we can also discuss it right here if anyone wants to. We aren't going to be sticklers about where we discuss things until we get so big that we have to. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Good evening all!

Just wanted to pop in and say hi http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif ~ I'm usually headed for the &quot;feathers&quot; by now, but I'm off work for the next three days so maybe I'll make it till nine or ten tonight. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/red_eyes.gif

Terri ~ looks like you've been busy adding new smilies for us. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag17.gif http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag19.gif Thanks! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Well, it looks like our colorful Congressman from Ohio is going to jail. :shocked: I feel sorta sorry for him. He certainly hasn't done anything worse than the Clintons have done and will do again given the chance.

Well, off to watch the O'Reilly Factor. Have a great evening all!

Good Evening Everyone...

I'm having a few &quot;quiet&quot; days but just thought I'd check in to say &quot;Hi!&quot;

Here's a URL you might like to see if you haven't already seen it...

Hi RIM, I'm probably missing something but I've always thought Traficant was a nut. :turquoiserolleyes: I guess he a lot of people in his state must have thought he did the job for them, but......

Enjoy your days off. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

That's so nice, Aberfoyle. Thanks for sharing it with us. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
