    That is just plain wrong. No matter what you believe, you should never wish such ill will on someone like that. If Bill Clinton was sick like that, despite the massive damage he did to our nation, I'd pray for his speedy recovery.

    As for the bringing up of Wellstone's death, I was appalled that the Democrats turned it into a shameless campaign rally. I felt bad for Wellstone and his family, but I felt worse after reading that his memorial service was turned into a cheap, rabble-rousing campaign rally.

    Why? They led it. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the television stations who continued to run it when it was obvious what it was turning into. A grieving family has no one to answer to but themselves when it comes to how they want to celebrate their loved one's lives.

    How would you like it if I told you how you should mourn the loss of one of your loved ones?

    Hey man, it worked didn't it? You gotta suck pretty hard to lose an election to a corpse.

    I'll take Ashcroft's demise any way I can get it.

    I'm just saying it was quite awful to turn a memorial into a campaign event for Mondull, who got thumped anyhow. I'm mad at the TV stations as well for running an unpaid campaign commercial thanks to a horrific tragedy.

    Again, why? I completely agree with your second sentence, even though I can understand the confusion must've occured when it turned into what it did. However, who are you to tell a family how they are to conduct a celebration of the lives of their deceased loved ones?

    NO, it did not work. In fact, it was one of the turning points of the campaign. People were outraged, and justifiably so. A Republican now occupies that seat.

    My bad, I was thinking Carnahan. Wrong state, wrong election, but right loser.

    No, I wouldn't say that. The blame should be with them if that is who turned it into a campaign rally.

    Yeah, I know I wish on everyone I disagree with extreme pain and/or death.

    What comes around goes around...I'll tell you why-y - dig.

    The Wellstone funeral thing is another GOP myth that got distorted, blown up and tossed about, sort of like those silly propaganda e-mails that giddyup posts, and is rather well treated here:

    by Franken who was both a friend of Wellstone and present at the funeral. Now, should you believe him or Rush Limbaugh about what took place, who was a) not there and b) didn't give two sh-ts about Wellstone in the first place?

    Again, who are we to say that that's not how they should've done it, when their father was in the middle of a campaign.

    Oh well, we'll just go in circles. I understand the criticism, even if I disagree with it.

    Sam,

    Speak for yourself.....



    KRAMER: Hey.

    JERRY: What's with you?

    KRAMER: I got a stone.

    JERRY: What stone?

    KRAMER: A kidney stone.

    JERRY: What is that, anyway?

    KRAMER: It's a, it's a stony mineral concretion, formed abnormally in the kidney. And this jagged shard of calcium pushes its way through the ureter into the bladder. It's forced out through the urine!

    JERRY: Oh, that's gotta hurt.

    Pathetic, just like the hoard of jokes that came from the liberals when there was a false report Ronald Reagan had passed away.

    If there really is such a thing as Karma, ZRB would be hit by a bus carrying the National Optimists Orgazization to a religious function.

    But I wouldn't laugh.

    I saw the damned thing for myself! I don't need Al Franken's obviously biased account to know what I witnessed on TV. I saw various liberal icons screaming, yelling and stomping like an old-fashioned campaign rally. It was shameless and really quite stupid. Be honest here, Sam, turning a memorial service into a campaign event because TV cameras are turning it into a free campaign commercial is:
    A. wrong because it is a mockery of the sanctity of such an event.
    B. right because the family said it was okay, even if they willingly went along with duping the TV stations into basically giving Mondull a free campaign commercial.
    C. Right only if liberal politicians do it. If the GOP did it, it would be shameless explotation, eh? I'd call it both ways, would you?

    Acute pancreatitis affects over 80,000 people in the United States every year. Sixty to eighty percent of these cases can be traced to two causes: gallstones and alcohol damage . Gallstones can block central ducts, preventing digestive enzymes from leaving the pancreas. Over time, alcoholism damages the gland and hinders its ability to function.

    Let's hope that Mr. Ashcroft can get a grip on whatever, the underlying problem is.
