    I am shocked and chagrined. Mortified and stupified. This is an outrageous claim.

    The_Conquistador lived in the Honors Dorm. Heck, you were probably in Wiess (the old Wiess) with the neo cubist door frames, roach infestation problem, and paper mache genitalia hanging from the commons during NOD.

    Might want to google Hawaii, Obama, and Martin... could be that. :confused:

    It's all over the blogosphere anyway.


    Or something to do with Transformers.

    well with a new poster I would like to see if they will use person's sick grandmother who raised them for much of their life to bash the person with no substantiated evidence.

    The charges are no doubt false like the Odinga charges were, but it will help me to know how serious to read Will-Pac's posts in the future.

    I will leave the question out there for now, FoxNews style.

    "Did Trader_Jorge share a room with a crazy, professorial liberal? Why hasn't he denounced the statements regularly made on the crazy liberal's radio show?Stay tuned!"

    I can't believe you went to Blinn JC. I had high school friends whose only choice was to go work for the prison or go to Blinn. Everyone of them chose prison.

    no, no, no: I did NOT go to Blinn. That's why I referenced being T_J's roomie at Rice.

    How would you know something like that? Why even make the incendiary, absolute, proclamation?



    I just don't see the point in questioning something so personal and sacred as a prayer.

    The_Conquistador had a total of 4 roommates during his college years and only one roommate was a conservative. Politics didn't come up quite as much then as they do now for a handful of reasons.

    Was Sizzle Chest one of those roommates? Let me tell you friends, you will know soon. Expect some fireworks very soon, friends.

    I know, right? Doesn't that seem like a dormitory style nickname?

    I had a total of two different roomies in college, after the first one went to France for a year. I'm pretty sure the guy who spent a year in Paris is NOT the Conquistador somehow. Just guessing. You never really know.

    Obama Leaves Hawaii, Bidding Goodbye to His Ailing Grandmother

    From touch-down on Thursday to take off on Friday, Mr. Obama spent nearly 22 hours on the ground in Honolulu visiting his ailing grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. He did not say how Mrs. Dunham was feeling and campaign aides did not disclose her condition, but he believes this could be his last time seeing her. He had expressed worry in interviews that she may not live until Election Day, and explained that he suspended his campaign schedule to see her, and recalled how he had not been able to get to his mother’s bedside before she died. His grandmother’s 86th birthday is this Sunday.

    That's pretty sad and it was good that he got a chance to see her before she passed away.

    It doesn't look like his trip though is having any affect on the polls.
