Yes...that's why no one is mad and the OP posted this in the Hangout instead of the D&D.... Again, who in this thread is actually mad?
in his own personal a-hole world, anything/anyone associated with President Obama infuriates texans...you know, because we are all just poo kicken rednecks, thump'n our bibles and praying to the former President Bush.
Good looking guys don't have to try that hard in life, they probably gravitate to Cali , land of the beautiful people. The ugly ones that want hot chicks are motivated to make money. If you want to make money you better move to Texas.
I can see many people taking it as a compliment. Texans are pretty-boys anyway, we're tough. And, we get the chicks regardless, so what does it matter?
I hate that freaking blog on chron.com. Always trying to stir up something out of anything. But I also hate that chron.com seems to link all of their conservative blogs on the front page everyday. You would think that all of Houston is one big right wing city.
its the ownership of the paper that determines its direction, not the demographics necessarily. Why give people what they want when you can make them agree with what you tell them?
http://tinyurl.com/c6tkpj Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway May 5, 2009 | Issue 45•19 WASHINGTON—Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer. "This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]." White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's "(You Can Still) Rock In America" blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close. The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames. "Hey, hot stuff, looking good," Biden told a passing aide. "Would you know where I could get a little bucket and sponge action? My mean machine needs to be cleaned." After acquiring the necessary washing materials, the bare-chested second-in-command returned to the driveway, where he spent several moments staring in apparent awe at the firebird decal on the hood of his car. Biden, who purchased the white Pontiac in 1983, has made an annual tradition of taking time off each spring to wash and tune-up his vehicle. In 2008 alone, the veteran politician reportedly missed two dozen Senate sessions in order to spend some quality time "taking care of [his] baby." "He does this every year and it really seems to rejuvenate him," Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said. "Back in 2001, the car was up on blocks in the National Mall, and he was so busy rotating those tires that he bailed on the confirmation hearings for secretary of state." "What're you gonna do, though?" Dodd added. "That car rocks." As Biden gently applied a sponge to the hood and moved it in small circular motions across the car's contours, a number of White House interns walked by and caught the vice president's attention. "She's a real beaut, ain't she?" said Biden, popping open a wide-mouth can of Coors Light and tilting back his head to take a long drink. "Back when Smokey And The Bandit came out, everyone wanted the black paint job, but looking back now, I'm thankful the dealership didn't have it in stock." "Oops, looks like I got a little brewha in the flavor-saver," added Biden, referring to his wispy, four-day-old mustache. "Any of you girls care to join me for another tallboy?" Biden then spent the next 15 minutes boasting about the features on his Trans Am. "They don't make kick-ass T-tops like this anymore, sweetheart," said Biden, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. "And check out these gold snowflake rims. They're a real b**** to clean, but they're totally worth it." "Back in the day we used to call 'em panty-melters," Biden continued. "One babe caught a glimpse of those rims after a Cinderella concert in '86 and she couldn't get into that backseat fast enough. If any of you girls wanna take a ride, just let ol' Joe know." For the remainder of the day, Biden occupied himself with hosing off his car, giving the side doors an extra coat of wax, and throwing out a variety of items from beneath its front seats, including crumpled-up fast food wrappers, a number of soft packs of Doral kings, an issue of Cheri magazine from 1991, and Senate bill S. 486. According to White House officials, Biden was still hanging out in the driveway long after dusk, revving the engine at passersby and explaining the intricacies of a turbocharged V-8 motor to anyone within earshot. As of press time, Biden had convinced Jennifer Britmore, a 41-year-old mother of four visiting from Indiana, to let him show her around D.C.
Strange, after seeing this I googled sneezing pig....and this came up! Guinea Pigs - sneezing pig Expert: Andy - 3/27/2006 Question Hi Andy, Let me start that about 6 weeks ago, my older pig (Vinnie) started with a respitory infection, with all the typical signs, sneezing, cough, crusty eyes, lack of appetite. My younger pig (Carmine-6 months old) only had a little sneeze. I took them both to the vet, who put both on Baytril for 10 days. They both seemed to improve, unfortunately, Vinnie died about 2 days after finishing Baytril I still do not know what happened to him. But Carmine still had a little sneeze, but was doing great other wise. About a week ago, he started just sitting in the corners of his cage, hardly eating or drinking, I got him back to the vet, who thought it was another respitory infection, after listening to him. He has been on Chloramphenicol liquid for 7 days now, and is back to his old self, eating and drinking great, wheeking like crazy, and running around, except he is still sneezing, not constantly, but enough that I notice it. He has no eye or nose discharge either. Could he just have an allergy? I use Carefresh bedding and shake out his hay really well to get the dust off. Is there anything I can give him for the sneeze? I hate to stress him out by taking him back to the vet when he is doing great otherwise. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to lose another pig!! Thanks. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Guinea-Pigs-1574/sneezing-pig.htm
