For years the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce has been pushing for a “bistate tax” so that Kansas tax dollars, mostly from Johnson County, can fund projects in Missouri with little or no oversight from Kansas elected officials. The Chamber’s law firm, Lathrop and Gage, has been active in promoting the bistate tax, too. Both groups are using education as a wedge issue to promote candidates who will vote for almost any tax increase, including higher taxes for education and a bistate tax. Lathrop seems to have even encouraged one of their attorneys to move back to his home town to run for State Rep to stifle a state legislator, Frank Miller, who is pushing for responsible and fiscally sound government. Both the Greater Kansas City Chamber and Lathrop and Gage will benefit enormously if they can persuade Kansans to send tax dollars to Missouri.

Greater Kansas City Missouri Chamber continues meddling in Kansas Politics in 2006?http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2006/07-17/index.htm
The Kansas City Star has been ignoring such political money stories for at least six years now.
“For years the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce has…”
BlogMom reads those words and looks down to see that KSMeadowlark wrote them and her poor ole mind just shuts off.
BlogMom knows that Brent Castrated knows the real truth, and she shall believe him over some dumb butt from Salina, any day!
Praise John Brown!!!
Note to Sedgwick County Commissioners AND the 80,000 voters who voted against the downtown arena AND the huge majority of the 80,000 voters who voted for the arena and now don’t want it.
ITS TIME TO CALL FOR ANOTHER VOTE ON THE ARENA AT THE APRIL CITY ELECTION NOW THAT A MORE ACCURATE IDEA OF ESTIMATED COSTS ARE AVAILABLE. ALSO A BETTER IDEA OF TAX NEEDS ARE COMING INTO VIEW FOR REAL IMPORTANT NEEDS FOR SEDGWICK COUNTY TAXPAYERS such as for fire stations, saving the Wranglers, improvements to the infrastructures of the smaller county communities of Sedgwick County, renewal of downtown Wichita, build new library, jail and training center, finish the job on our school improvements, etc., etc.
How can anybody ratonally consider spending 1/4 billion dollars, that’s $250,000,000, on an unneeded WHITE ELEPHANT. And using the usual economic multiplier of 8X, that means a loss of two billion dollars, that’s $2,000,000,000 loss to the Sedgwick County and Kansas economy — jobs lost, cars, houses and airplanes that won’t be purchased, dinners that won’t be purchased in local restaurants.
So, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, stop this arena foolishness now.
Campaign finance reports on file with the Federal Elections Commission, and reports from the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission, show that on Dec. 29, 2005, just before the end-of-year campaign finance reporting deadline, Merilee K. Martin, a right-wing Republican, reached into her desk drawer and took out four checkbooks.
Martin wrote a total of 15 checks that day which, when all was said and done, ended up putting a cool $6 grand — $2,000 each — into the campaign coffers of three creationist school board candidates: Connie Morris, John Bacon, and Ken Willard.
Kansas election laws limit contributions made to state school board candidates from political action committees (PACs), such as those for which Martin serves as treasurer, to a total of $500 in period leading up to the primary election, and $500 prior to the general election — $1,000 in total.
Despite those limits, Morris, Bacon, and Willard ended up pocketing contributions of $2,000 each from the checks written by Martin that day – twice what the law allows for the entire election and four times what’s allowed during the primary election cycle.
Martin is listed on documents filed with the FEC and the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission as treasurer of four PACs: the Free Academic Inquiry and Research (FAIR) Federal PAC, the Free Academic Inquiry and Research (FAIR) State PAC, the Kansas Republican Victory Fund (KRVF) Federal PAC, and the Kansas Republican Victory Fund (KRVF) State PAC.
In addition to listing Martin as treasurer, all four PACs share the same post office box – P.O. Box 626 in Topeka – with the ultra-right Kansas Republican Assembly. Martin is also listed as treasurer of the KRA. All five PACs solicit contributions on a single website maintained by the KRA.
The quadrupling of the allowable limits on campaign contributions to the three right-wing school board members, all of whom are up for election this year, is accomplished by funneling the money through this network of PACs.
On Dec. 29, when Martin wrote out those 15 checks, the KRVF Federal PAC, had an embarrassingly small amount of money remaining in its campaign war chest. The PAC reported just $638.60 in cash at the beginning of the reporting period, and it raised only two contributions totaling $130 during that six-month period.
That was no problem for Martin, who needed to max out Morris, Bacon and Willard – who also had trouble raising money during the period – in order to get their re-election campaigns rolling with a quick infusion of cash.
Martin simply wrote a check for $1,500 from the FAIR Federal PAC to cover the contributions she planned to make on behalf of KRVF Federal PAC.
In similar fashion, Martin wrote checks out of the FAIR Federal PAC fund to cover shortfalls in the other PACs. One check for $1,500 went to the KRVF State PAC, another $500 went to the FAIR State PAC.
The three checks Martin wrote that day to the other PACs under her control were turned immediately into contributions to Morris, Bacon, and Willard.
In effect the PACs run out of the Kansas Republican Assembly by Martin are slush funds designed to evade the Kansas election law limitations on campaign contributions to state school board candidates.
Right-wing activists may feel they can thumb their noses at the state’s election laws because, in the past, reporting of contributions has been difficult to obtain in the state.
Although the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission recently took steps to improve it’s campaign finance disclosure reporting, the state was ranked 39th out of the 50 states, and received a grade of F, in a 2003 study of candidate campaign finance disclosure laws conducted by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
That’s nice reporting, TRACY. Where did you find the time to do all that research?
JWink! City elections equate to County issues? Ummmm! The Arena isn’t a city issue. The county jail, the new training center, help for smaller communities…those are county issues dude!
WE DON’T VOTE FOR COMMISSIONORS OR COUNTY ISSUES IN CITY ELECTIONS.
You find the downtown arena a waste of money, but see that saving the Wranglers is? Priorities out of whack. Saving a sport team isn’t the job of the government.
If you don’t want the DT Arena, vote for Dee Stuart. That Bombthrowing, heavy cigeratte smoking politican from Park City wants to repeal the Arena.
SD, it’s a copy of course.Go to RED STATE RABBLE.Pat Hayes is a fine writer and reporter.
Joe, Jwink…
I agree, the arena should be recalled. Joe does have a point, that it is a county problem. I also think that we (my tax dollars) should go to pay for a 80 million dollar aviation tech center to train employees for multimillion dollar corporations.
I think both the council and commission should be replaced with any first year political economics class at WSU… I bet they could probably run this city better, probably with less corruption and bickering…
Oh, and I say again, this city needs to loose all of its very valuable attractions BEFORE they will ever appreciate what they have… People here take advantage of places like the Wranglers and Cow Town and Museum of World Treasures… Because they have always been here and people think they will always be here…
US PENTAGON ANNOUNCEMENT
The Pentagon announced today the formation of a new
500-man Elite fighting unit called the United States
Redneck Special Forces. These Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and Texas boys will be dropped into Iraq
and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don’t like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
6. Their favorite movie is “BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.”
We expect the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.
JWink=Sore Looser.Dude, you’re in one deep rut. I don’t care much for the arena, but whether you like it or not, it won. Get over it! Your incessant whining is a pain in the a$$.
Right Angle,
Joking about the death of anything that moves in Iraq is some funny stuff!
I’d like to be sitting next to you in bar after you’ve knocked back a few.
You could dispense your hilarity on retards, minorities and women. Slap my thighs, that’s hilarious.
Hey, I got an idea. Maybe we could make all the people we want dead wear a big target on their chests.
Wouldn’t that be funny? I think so.
And check out the burned, maimed and dead bodies, many of children on any number of websites. Granted, they weren’t all killed by Americans, but a lot of them were.
Who needs Comedy Central?
Darth lighten up.He’s dissen’ rednecks, not promoting genocide.It’s a joke dude, respond with the buzzword of the week:PROPORTIONALITY
On a bistate KS-MO collaboration, that’s a no-brainer. The Kansas Territory was great until nearly half of it was taken to create Colorado, leaving Kansas with cowpies. The idea of a state, “Kansas”, like Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota, is not viable. Look, most of us have ancestors who came from somewhere else. Kansas was created by eastern capitalists who chose not to come here. A lot of KC-MSA people live in Kansas, but commute to Missouri to work. The KC MSA needs a major urban research university. Frankly, if Nebraska chipped in to create a Great Plains University, that would be awesome, but it’s probably not doable.
Kansas is losing congressional representation. Amalgamation of part of Kansas with part of Missouri makes sense–unless you want your kids to be sitting by the side of the postindustrial age highway and becoming roadkill.
Here is an idea.
Just for a sort of “know your blogger” how about this;
In addition to whatever it is you post here on the open, tag your post at the bottom with what to you is the single most important issue today. I’ll start.
Global warming
Hey Angle,You missed the boat here! After living in Kansas wheat country for several years, I can tell you that the Kansas Redneck is the true paradigm; all those others are just cheap, foreign-made knockoffs!
JR,As you probably know, I’m into a number of issues, and wouldn’t want to have to rank them in order of importance. But they all boil down, in the end, to being decent to the place we live, and the people who live there with us.
Darthcheney dissin’ redneck comedy? With a name like that, one would think you’ld be up to shootin’ lawyers in the back instead of the face:-)
The house giving Israeli aggressions a show of support, just shows how deep in the Israeli pocket they are. We need to clean house, and get some congressmen that put American interest in the middle east first.
“The number of Americans living in poverty has risen each year Bush has been president, increasing to 37 million in 2004 from 31.6 million in 2000. Overall, 12.7 percent of the nation’s population lives in poverty, which for a family of four means an income less than $20,000 a year.”

BUSH & POVERTY
Hey, where did Melissa Cooley go? I enjoyed visiting with her at the EAGLE bloggers meet-up several weeks ago. She was a good contact person in the EAGLE’S opinion office. So Melissa, wherever you are, good luck.
And welcome to new EAGLE opinion staff editor, Dave Knadler. Dave, your interest in writing fictional mysteries should be good experience in trying to fathom the Wichita area’s political situation and the EAGLE bloggers’ debates, themselves full of mysterious differences of opinion.
Incidentally, a note for everyone, speaking of fictional mysteries, there is a great mystery book set in Wichita’s Delano area back in the 1950’s (although apparently written a little later). It’s titled THE WICHITA MYSTERIES by Gaylord Dold. The book actually consists of three stories in the genre of Mickey Spillane’s old MIKE HAMMER series.
The first page starts out on our own Lincoln Street near Broadway, described for openers: “It was hot, dead and still.”
The book can be purchased at the bookstore on south Oliver which now has a second location out on West Street near Second.
It was hot and dead still; still as the body spread out on the first floor of the union building, but that wasn’t what the butler was watching from his perch on the stairs leading to the basement.
They are great novels, situated in known actual places in Dodah!
DD . . . which is sadder?
That the right-wing won’t give a crap about the increasing number of poor Americans directly tied to Bush policies?
OR
That they’ll continually repeat the line that liberals don’t use facts?
Good post, btw.
Joe, you are wrong again. All Kansas elections are run by the Kansas Secretary of State in Topeka with the help of his Election people such as Bill Gale here in Wichita, Sedgwick County. Incidentally, Mr. Gale’s office is located on the first floor of the Historic County Courthouse across Main Street from the real Courthouse. Also I believe tomorrow, Friday, July 21, is the first day you can go in there and vote early.
Now in regard to elections, generally partisan elections where candidates are labeled according to their political parties are traditionally held in August (primary) and November (general election). In these elections, county and state political positions are voted on.
The non-partisan or NO party label elections are traditionally held in Feb or March (primary) and the general election is held in April. Here in Wichita, these are the city and school board elections. In hotly contested races, non-partisan support parties can support a sample ballot of candidates.
Its handy to vote on “issues” such as the arena at these regular elections to save the cost of a special election for a single issue. However, the amount of money such as the tremendous amount of $250,000,000 for the proposed arena would justify the expense. Or the issue could be voted at the April general election by making provision for the out in the county voters to get to vote.
Joe, its time for you to take a look at the long list of real important needs for Sedgwick County for which no money is available and then work hard to cancel the proposed downtown WHITE ELEPHANT arena FOR EVERYONE’S BENEFIT. If you did this, you might be elected a future mayor of Wichita rather than be tar’d and feather’d after it fails.
JWink! Wrong!
The County wide vote on a referendum to include a temporary COUNTY WIDE sales tax to fund a much needed downtown arena must be voted on by the people of the county.
Your misguided remarks about the KSOS and the County Election offices control elections and therefore can issue a ballot referendum to withdrawl from the county wide sales taxes to be voted on by only the people of Wichita and on that cities election.
There is your rule by majority.
Since you always blantely lie about your figures, and you think that having a Double A ball team warrents more attention, tax payers money than a downtown arena, because that is a government priority to have a double A ball team, you are so way out of whack it’s ridiculous.
But keep on going! If the city buys the Wranglers, it’s going to cost the taxpayers $15,000,000,000, yes with a “B”. You have to take in effect the multiplier.
:rolleyes:
Julie, the purple chicken is pecking on your doorbell.
Single most important issue today.
The war against Islamic Terrorist. More important than Global Warming.
Melissa is gone? Her replacement is not nearly as cute. Hmmm…
“Also I believe tomorrow, Friday, July 21, is the first day you can go in there and vote early.”
I heard our friend Bill Gale say on NPR that we could start early voting on Tuesday July, 18th.
“Since you always blantely lie about your figures, and you think that having a Double A ball team warrents more attention, tax payers money than a downtown arena, because that is a government priority to have a double A ball team, you are so way out of whack it’s ridiculous.”
Joe, it is past time to take your night-time medications – judging from the above rant. Take a deep breath, count to 10, it will all be okay in the morning.
Sweet dreams.
Melissa is gone? No announcement? Why? I agree, the new guy is less cute. No headers from him yet. I hope he is not another values boy!
Joe? Jwink is right. Though my reasons are different from his, I agree with his call for a re-vote on the arena.
Joe I challenge you to see Al Gores movie. Not just you but everyone. It is compelling. You see that movie and I will see one of your choice.
Let me reaffirm my little poll here for each posters most important issue. Post what you want and then state the issue closest to you as Joe, Jed, Darwins and I have with a tag at the bottom of your post. Like this.
Global warming—–
How is Jwink right?
And you guys still think that the Wranglers are more important than an arena. Tell me why and how? I challange you.
JR! I watched the Discovery Channel’s version. What was different from that than Gore’s?
I don’t really go to theaters. So Gore’s film is going to have to wait until it comes out on DVD and I can put it on my queue on Netflix.
DD! Yeah it’s late! I worked all day long, drove more than 500 miles, a little tired. But I don’t take meds.
I guess you already had drinked your fifth of whiskey. Keeps you from getting the shakes and cold sweats right? Don’t forget to call in to work tomorrow.
nighty night
“I guess you already had drinked your fifth of whiskey. Keeps you from getting the shakes and cold sweats right? Don’t forget to call in to work tomorrow.”
Joe, the above was not very nice. Sorry you had to drive so very far — makes me want to tear up and cry… sniff, sniff.
These accusations about my drinking habits are totally unfounded, like most of your pathetic B.S. Sorry, you have to stoop to such unmitigated crap. Perhaps someday, you will learn to do better. I am not holding my breath, however. ::roll eyes::
Sorry, you are such a stupid (with a capitol S) loser!
Come on, Joe, where’s your snappy come-backs?
Oh, I forgot, you don’t have any.
You poor dumb shit. The only thing harder than reading your posts, must be being you.
Don’t forget, drink your alcohol, smoke your cigarettes, and do your drugs before going to work tomorrow. Those things couldn’t possibly make you less coherent.
Sweet dreams…
Good morning JOE! (I KNOW you will check back. You care that way.)
Joe? Jwink for reasons other than mine is right in that the arena is not as it was sold. That is why I join his call for a re-vote.
Joe (and others) the Gore movie has more science and is more in depth than the Discovery channel special. Consider that the Gore movie ponted out that the top 10 hottest recorded years were in the last 14 years. Consider that THE HOTTEST of those was 2005. Consider this year. Go outside. Read the news. The heat is not just here, it’s everywhere. Go see the movie. MAYBE (speculation) you will see cause and effect.
Joe you post outrageously often. Yeah Darwins was hard on ya. And by the way Darwins you and I have seen FAR worse “rants” than Joe’s above. You were a little harsh. And you Joe gave it right back.
Imagine me……the voice for peace!
I was long and thoughtful in writing my last. Darwins? I am gonna suggest you were not.
See? YOU attacked JOE first. I mean with the meds thing. That was a nasty shot. (I know, I DEAL in nasty shots. Giving and taking.) He hit back. You hit him back.
But deal is you hit him AGAIN. And after he “left”. I call that beneath you.
Good stuff from Mary Steyn with a quote from some cat named Lee Harris.
“Forgetfulness occurs when those who have been long inured to civilized order can no longer remember a time in which they had to wonder whether their crops would grow to maturity without being stolen or their children sold into slavery by a victorious foe. . . . That, before 9/11, was what had happened to us. The very concept of the enemy had been banished from our moral and political vocabulary.”
It’s worse than Harris thinks. We’re not merely “forgetful.” We’ve constructed a fantasy past in which primitive societies lived in peace and security with nary a fear that their crops would be stolen or their children enslaved. War has been the natural condition of mankind for thousands of years, and our civilization is a very fragile exception to that. What does it say about us that so many of our elites believe exactly the opposite — that we are a monstrous violent rupture with our primitive pacifist ancestors? It’s never a good idea to put reality up for grabs. You can bet your highest-denomination axe on that.

Yeah DD! You’re just a punk! I don’t get bullied around. You make a stupid insulting remark, I’m going to slap you back.I don’t play. Keep on going little man.
You got a little personal, making an effort to double post more insults. Is there an ounce of truth to what I say? Denial doesn’t help you.
And even making a statement like this: “These accusations about my drinking habits are totally unfounded”
Taking meds are totally unfounded too. What makes you get to slap people with insults, yet you can’t take it and get all pissy.
One of these days we might meet. Let’s see if you sling personal insults against me then. I seriously doubt it. You’re going to be one apologizing little man.
JR! I’m not against Global Warming. I actually know it’s real. I have a few unanswered questions about it, that’s all.
I’ll watch Gore’s movie in due time. Again! I watch movies at home, so I have to wait until it comes out on DVD.
The questions are really about the severity of the destruction and the accuracty of past temperature reading metrology equipment and people (scientist) who recieve money from enviromentalist groups that tend to be in the fore front of this debate, such as Michael Mann.
When politics are involved there is something that happens to the actual science. It goes through the salesman tatic. That is; It is oversold of is desperation, severity, need, and every other emotional aspect. When politics are involved, the said problem is never nearly as bad as it really is.
Is Global Warming a problem? Yes! I believe that.
Will it kill us and the entire planet within 100 years? No!
Rage,Sorry Darlin’ slept right thru that doorbell :)Thankfully the chickie left me a message which I responded to.
Joe Williams?
BACK UP.
I called out on DD to back up a bit and now I’m callin’ out you. YOU didn’t need to get up and get in early and get it going again!
By the way Joe? “Yeah DD. You’re just a punk!” posted after I called back DD implies I think DD is a punk. And I don’t. I got your back above. I aint got your back “getting back”.
“One of these days we might meet. Let’s see if you sling personal insults against me then. I seriously doubt it. You’re going to be one apologizing little man.”
Joe? That sounds rather threatening. You don’t get to demand an apology from anybody as long as you sling back when slung on. And you did and still are. Let it go.
Everybody calmed down now? Good. Dirty fighting is my job:)_ And I don’t like competition!
Let the record show I will also try to afford peace when a dirty fight seems pointless, too dirty, or ill started.
Joe one telling thing about the Gore movie is that it shows Gore in earlier days. I think he was a Senator. He is BERATING a Bush1 administration official about the negligence as to global warming. That SAME official, I believe his name is Jansen, has since come out heavily as to global warming and addressing it. The movie is a must see, trust me.
Look at that I’m a poet too.
Joe,
“Will it kill us and the entire planet within 100 years? No!”
Did Strawman say that? Where’s your unbiased, scientific proof that we cannot go past a ‘tipping point’, and have a much less inhabitable planet sometime in the future?
Michael Mann’s ‘hockey stick’ is only one small piece of the global warming debate. People (with connections to fossil energy) attack it as a distraction.
At the core of the issue are 2 undisputed facts:Humans have added CO2, methane, HFC’s and other greenhouse gases to Earth’s atmosphere.An increase in GHG’s causes warming.
The debate is how much warming, how soon, will positive feedbacks multiple the human factor, etc.
NOAA is not funded by “enviromentalist groups”.Update their ‘land anomalies’ temperature graph — add a spike the same height as 1998 for 2005 (and probably 2006). Note the 1979-2003 ‘trend’ mapshttp://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/trends.html
As Amory Lovins says, it’s global weirding!
Hey cos? Did you see An Inconvenient Truth?
“One of these days we might meet. Let’s see if you sling personal insults against me then. I seriously doubt it. You’re going to be one apologizing little man.”
Because I think there are foundations for your complaints against my wise-ass remarks, Joe, I do apologize for saying what I did.
I went over the line in commenting on your unusally strong expressions to a poster with whom I did not think you had an axe to grind. Fundamentally, you are correct, I was out of line.
And, the “little man” thing, I don’t see as threatening. Your opinion of me, given that you don’t even know me, couldn’t be more irrelevant in my view.
Dear Joe,
DD is a very nice man in person. Quiet and very pleasant.
He does have reach on you though, accept his apology with grace!
Hank
You canb take JR though.
Hank
JR,I haven’t seen ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ yet, but plan to next week. Have read the book — highly recommend it, altho it’d be better if had an index. Bought a 2nd book and gave to a friend.
“One of these days we might meet. Let’s see if you sling personal insults against me then. I seriously doubt it. You’re going to be one apologizing little man.”
This just does not advance the discussion. If arguments could be settled by who can beat up whom, George Forman would be king of the world.
Save it for the playground.
Cos if you are in the Wichita area, see the movie SOON. I think it ends the 24th.
And by the way. For anyone else. I HIGHLY recommend seeing “An Inconvenient Truth”
I didn’t know there was a book. I’ll have to check that out.
Joe Williams? Now DD apologized. I note that he did not earlier rise to the level of an implied threat as you did. You MIGHT want to speak to that.
I appolgize to you DD.
Redneck humor time:
LOGIC:
Two South Texas farmers, Joe and Ned, are sitting at their favorite bar,drinking beer. Joe turns to Ned and says, “You know, I’m tired of goingthrough life without an education. Tomorrow I think I’ll go to thecommunity college, and sign up for some classes.” Ned thinks it’s a goodidea, and the two leave.
The next day, Joe goes down to the college and meets the Dean ofAdmissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English,History, and Logic.
“Logic?” Joe says. “What’s that?”
The dean says, “I’ll explain it to you. Do you own a weedeater?”
Joe says, “Yeah.”
“Then logically speaking, because you own a weedeater, I think that youwould have a yard.”
“That’s true, I do have a yard.”
“I’m not done,” the dean says. “Because you have a yard, I thinklogically that you would have a house.”
“Yes, I do have a house.”
“And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have afamily.”
“I have a family.”
“I’m not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you musthave a wife.”
“Yes, I do have a wife.”
“And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be aheterosexual.”
“I am a heterosexual.
That’s amazing, you were able to find out all of that because I have aweedeater.”
Excited to take the class now, Joe shakes the Dean’s hand and leaves togo meet Ned at the bar.
He tells Ned about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English,History, and Logic.
“Logic?” Ned says, “What’s that?”
Joe says, “I’ll show you. Do you have a weedeater?”
“No.”
“Then you’re a queer.”
Dear J M,
I have three weedeaters, one which will actually start on occasion.
Hank
JM, Hank-PSSST-I have two- am I in some kind of trouble? Really, I usually use only one at time! I can change my ways if needed!! Do I have to go underground?
gster,
You have 2? Does that make you bisexual?
RD- That’s way I did the PSSSTTT!! Thanks a lot. I may be bi-weed, but only one at a time- you have to have standards after all. They’re around here somewhere.Excuse me- I have to go pick out a dress disguise onnaccout of youse!Ciao!!
RD, Hank, gster
If gster has two, and is bi-sexual, then does Hank having three make him Tri-sexual?
RD- Congrats- I wa wondering if anyone would ask that question based on what I made up!!
You guys & Rd-You’re trying to give me a complex, to add to the collection.I rely on that magazine, with George W.Bush’s picture on the cover, for guidance- you know – Mad Magazine!
Yes, JM, that would be tri-sexual. (Wish I could make googly eyes.) Or…what’s that new word? metro-sexual? I hope that’s in the new dictionaries. I’m still not up to par on all this. Live and learn.
Guys, I have one weedeater and I don’t use it. Does that make me non-sexual?
(SIGH…..)
Damn, I SORRY I posted the first Red Neck joke; I did not know that it would lead to all of this. :)
