Any good REPUBLICANS to vote for? - Just wondering if, after the continuing scandals of the GOP, there are any honest Republicans left standing?
Maggie Thurber bailed out...
Betty Shultz is checking her mail box each day for her indictment letter...
George Sarantou flips off the voters and abandons his newly won seat on City Council...
The Noe's are busy selling their $5 mill house in FL to raise money for their defense...
Blackwell and Petro are busy assassinating each other to prove which is a better Christian...
Bob Taft can't wait to leave his disgraced governorship...
Who has a list of the remaining honest, decent R's to vote for in the primary?

Comments ...
Probably as many honest republicans as there are honest democrats. Sad, but true. A heads-up here, aldringham. Perhaps you missed the last poster who got kicked off because all he did was post inflamatory comments, topics, bashing either Bush, or the republican party, just because he hated both. jr prefers to keep this forum for mainly local (Ohio) news if possible. His forum, he's entitled to call the shots.
Sadly, you are right on much of that. Not all. I do realize that Bernadette Noe has that 2.5 million dollar home in Key Largo in her name, therefore, she apparently can sell it to pay Tom's legal bills. However, that gripes me to no end, it is just wrong. That house (and others) was most likely purchased with BWC money, so therefore, if she sells it, BWC is also paying Tom Noe's legal bills. It stinks to high heaven. I do NOT understand, how the Noe's expect to sell that McMansion for 5 million. I don't care that they added a pool and waterfall. We had a pool put in years ago, and understood that a pool is one of the worst 'improvements' you can make on your home, if you're looking to increase it's value. Often it's the reverse. (I DID hit Enter to create paragraphs here, but while they show up HERE, they do not show up on the final post.

Starling, she’s asking $5 mil for the house in Tavernier. The increase in value is not in the improvements but in the Florida real estate market not to mention, Noe’s place is oceanfront. Plus, the Keys are islands where land is a scarcity therefore the inflated valuation may be even worse than the rest of the state. I tell you this from personal experience: hence my name.

Chiles Rellenos
Ingredients:
* 2 (4oz) cans whole green chiles
* 1/2 pound Monterey jack cheese
* 1/2 cup flour
* 3 eggs, separated
* 1 tablespoon water
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* oil for deep frying
PREPARATION:
Drain the chiles and cut slits in the side of each one (take care to keep them in one piece). Remove seeds and membrane. Cut cheese into sticks about 1 inch shorter than chiles in length and 1/2" in width and thickness. Place cheese sticks inside chiles and press sides together gently to seal. Place the 1/2 cup of flour in a dish and coat each chile. Place chiles on wax paper lined cookie sheet and chill for an hour.
Batter: Beat egg whites until stiff. Combine in another bowl the egg yolks, water, 3 tablespoons of flour and the salt; mix together until smooth. Gentlly fold in beaten egg whites. Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees. Dip each chile into batter and then place on saucer. Slide chiles from saucer into hot oil. Fry about 4 minutes, until puffed and golden.

Install pivot joint on the ceiling six feet from the wall lined up with the door. Attach a seven foot pole for an eight foot ceiling, eleven foot pole with a twelve foot ceiling, to the open end of the pivot joint. Then attach a eyelet into the pole, then slide a fifty pound weight to the pole, away from the pivot joint. Secure using typical wood screw.
Mark on ceiling even with eyelet, then install the slide bar device even with the eyelet attached to the pole. Then every three inches you'll place an eyelet from the slide bar to about three inches from the wall.
Slide the bar into the eyelet and make sure it's got room to jiggle about. Run string from the finger grip on the slide bar, run through each eyelet, then attach to door handle.
Attach sign that states "George Bush Hater's Club" to the outside of door, then sit back and watch LimeDrops get his just desserts.

Ok, I admit I may be a bit slow in catching on to trolls (and probably a bit gullible as well). I realize that oceanfront property's value increases a lot, more so, depending on location. But I find it hard to believe that it'd increase by 2 million dollars, in the short time since they bought it. I STILL do not think it's right that the Noe's will be able to use the money from selling the house, to pay legal bills, ALL with BWC money. Good God, even in the midst of Tom Noe's legal proceedings, etc. he is STILL ripping off BWC, in plain view, and there's not a damned thing the courts can do to seize the money from the sale of the house to repay what he's stolen????????? Must be nice, haveing your legal fees paid for by city dollars.

Garden Gnome Trivia
At the end of March 1998 Christian Herz, a member of the group, "Campaign against Military Service, Forced Service and the Military" was tried in a Municipal Court of Berlin on account of violation of the Law concerning Assemblies and Processions. Two days prior to an official pledge of allegiance by Federal Army recruits in May 1996, he and other activists had set up a parade of 450 garden gnomes in front of the Charlottenburg Palace. For this anti-military action, the gnomes had been painted as "NVA gnomes", police gnomes, and - to the displeasure of genuine field army members - as "military police gnomes". All of them were members of the "National Garden Gnome Army" (NZA). The gnomes were then sworn in to texts of oaths from 200 years of German military history.
A strict ban on assemblies in this area had been ruled. Herz received a fine of 450 Marks (one Mark per gnome). He objected, which led to the court hearing. After Herz asked the question, "How many garden gnomes represent an assembly, and at what stage does this violate the Law concerning Assemblies and Processions?", the court no longer dealt with the matter and the case was dropped on the ground of insignificance.
After this judgement a sextet of gnomes made a mini-parade in front of the court. As the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper stated on March 21. The parade showed great discipline. "No special occurrences reported".

Since I'm a good CONSERVATIVE, I'll go along with these(with a few reservations) for the following reasons: 1). I regard Bush as yet another 'country-club' repub (RHINO).
2). I will go along with this ,but only if if you are also for SMALLER government and against smoker bans AND the Kelo decision. Can't let you have it both ways.
3). No argument whatsoever on this one.
4). Add close the open borders to these.

I need to figure out a good beer batter not only for the rellenos, but for onion rings, too! There's probably one online, but I haven't found it yet. When I go to Mr. Beefy's, there is always an order of onion rings in the mix. They've got a great beer batter over there!

katie, my neighbor didn't mean lime juice on dog pee spots, he meant garden lime, in the bag, powdered. I guess you just sprinkle it on (not too much, read the bag), and give it time to work. It's not going to turn yellow grass green again, overnight, gotta give it time to work he said. I haven't tried this yet. My two dogs have trampled my grass so bad, like a bare path on two sides of my yard. Every spring I toss out at least 4 bags of grass seed, but between the dogs trampling it, and the birds eating the seed, I think I am wasting my time. Maybe concrete garden paving stones.

MMI cool idea on a troll cookbook. Maybe JR can make a keyword for it so the troll recipe's can be easily located.
In the meantime, from the CNN link I posted above, you can read this:
The Garden Gnome Liberation Front vanished from the public eye in 1997 after a northern French court handed its ringleader a suspended prison sentence and fined him for his part in the disappearance of around 150 gnomes.
The only suspected sighting of the organization since then was a mass suicide of gnomes at Briey in eastern France in September 1998, when 11 of them were found dangling by their necks under a bridge.
A letter found nearby said: "When you read these few words we will no longer be part of your selfish world, where we serve merely as pretty decoration."
This behavior is sickening and I feel I need to post it here, in the hopes that if you have a garden gnome-tonight or tomorrow-show it some respect and let it know that it is more than "pretty decoration". Toledo does not need any group suicides in addition to the challenges of finding a new superintendent, Unigov, the city council, a mayor, and a potential Blade strike. I am afraid a group gnome suicide may be the straw that breaks the camels back.
Love your gnome:

A little sidebar for Starling: I STILL do not think it's right that the Noe's will be able to use the money from selling the house, to pay legal bills, ALL with BWC money.
I tend to agree so your point is well taken.
Sidebar: But I find it hard to believe that it'd increase by 2 million dollars, in the short time since they bought it
Real estate prices in desirable locations is absolutely crazy. Sometimes in some places like Tavernier and Islamorada in the Keys there are moratoriums on building permits. So, people buy the footprint of an existing structure and rebuild. You can see how demand can drive prices skyward.
Many, many investors in Florida have doubled or more their money in the Florida market. Will Noe get $5 million? I’d say very close to it. The house is huge, beautiful, on the ocean, and has hundreds of feet of seawall on one side against a a wide canal.
Prices like this are not limited to Florida. I know someone who is building a house in a hip ski town and has made nearly $1.1 million in equity and the house is not even finished!
Thanks, Offshore

Wow, look at the big bad Coward. You know Coward, the only people qualified to make a statement like that, are people that actually have picked up a weapon in defence of their country.
So, right there you're wandering in an area that you have no business wandering in.
I'd tell you to grow up, but you're probably afraid of heights.

Really easy dessert:
Cherry dump cake
1-2 cans of cherry pie filling (depending upon your taste)
1 package of yellow cake mix
1 package of pecans
1 stick butter
Pour cherry pie filling into a rectangular baking dish, sprinkle yellow cake mix over the top, disburse pecans over that. Slice the stick of butter and lay slices evenly over all. Bake at 350 until bubbly and brown.
Serve scooped out with a spoon with either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Actually, Coward. I'm making a point that you have no business demanding somone go enlist, when you
A) Have never enlisted
B) Have no intention of enlisting
and
C) Would never enlist.
If you want to call that trolling, knock yourself out. Personally, I'm calling you what you are....a bullshitter and a coward.

Maggie, now that sounds excellent. Have you ever tried it with peach pie filling?

Oh! Had enough, eh? Come back and take what's coming to you, you yellow bastards!! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!

psyche - both my and maggie's recipe can be altered to use your favorite fruit. Ive made both cherry cobbler, and peach dump cakes...
Here's another crazy dessert - I dont even know if it's got a name, but when we have food days at work, a friend of mine gets actual DEMANDS that she bring it in!
Line the bottom of a 9x13 pan with ice cream sandwiches.
Drizzle carmel topping over them.
If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts onto the carmel.
Spread about 1/2" of whipped cream over the top of this and freeze for about a half hour to harden the whipped cream a little.
Pour magic shell chocolate over the top of everything and either serve, or cover with foil and put bk in the freezer.
When she serves it up at work, she brings in a tupperware of cherry pie filling and puts a couple spoonfuls of cherry goo on top of it as she dishes it out...
this is a truly sinful dessert and has no healthful attributes - but hoo boy, its good!!

And that stopped how many reservists and National Guard members from being called up? I also seem to recall some guy from the NFL named Pat Tillman, who turned down $3.6 million to go serve. Too bad he was killed by friendly fire.
YOU = FUCKING PUSSY CHICKENHAWK!
Besides, I'm too old.
Nah, you're a fucking pussy. Besides, it's guaranteed that you'd get the fabled Section Eight.
What's your excuse Coward?
1) Bush is a dumbass commander-in-chief, who invaded Iraq under false pretenses and with intelligence that was deliberately bent to fit the plans of the "White House Iraq Group".
2) It's clear that they don't want to catch the person responsible for attacking us on 9/11. No, not Saddam, he didn't attack us on 9/11, and had nothing to do with 9/11, despite what you heard on Fox News and out of Bush's mouth. WHERE'S OSAMA BIN LADEN AND WHY HAVEN'T WE GOT HIM?
Now, if the goddamn government would, you know, be willing to hand me the equipment and drop me off near Osama's hideout, I'd be happy to go on a suicide mission, provided they'd promise my estate would get the $50 million bounty on his head. But since they clearly have no interest in actually killing or capturing Osama and much interest in lying to our troops, putting them in a situation where they're getting blown up, particularly because of inadequate planning, inadequate supplies (armoured transport and body armour), and because we're seriously unwelcome there now.
Now, if someone wants to invade the USA or lob some missiles at us, that fucker's toast, cause even if the military finds some reason not to take me, I'll get over there somehow. And I bet I got more guns than you.
But the question was, MMI, if you and the other right-wingers on this board support Bush and his wars and warmongering so much and you think of yourselves as such great patriots, why don't YOU go enlist? So by all means, you and WAA and AirTroller and the rest can either answer that directly without the pussy-ass "I'm a yellow-bellied pussy-ass chickenhawk who doesn't want to give up his nice comfy job and home and they won't take me anyway" excuses. Cause, as I pointed out, one guy gave up $3.6 million to be shot dead by our own guys. What's your fucking excuse, you fucking cowards?

Tell you what coward, I'm sure that you'll be getting a phone call from Bush soon, asking for your expert advice. You be sure to let us all know when you get that call, ok?

Look at the big dicks, who claim to know my exact status of employment.
Looking for a job does not mean one does not already have employment or income.
But that's okay, see, becase two of you still dodged the question (like Bush and so many people in his administration dodged action) and continued the personal attacks.
One of these days you'll grow a fucking pair and answer a direct question. But I don't expect that to happen, because you're cowards.
And starling, where did I say that I had the solutions to the world's problems? Of course, if you're willing to turn your thinking over to the Fearless Leader and trust him 100%, that's your perogative as an American. But I had thought you had enough of a brain to actually disagree with authority and question/criticize it on occasion, instead of having blind, unquestioning faith in the leadership and letting them use their powers any old how.

While we are on the topic of "growing a pair" this just seems apropriate to leave you with:
There are Jews in the world, there are Buddhists,
there are Hindus and Mormons and then there are those that follow Mohammed -but-
I've never been one of them.
I am a Roman Catholic
and have been since before I was born,
and the one thing they say about Catholics is
they'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on, you're
a Catholic the moment dad came
...Because...
Every sperm is sacred,
every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
Let the heathens spill theirs,
on the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
each sperm that can't be found.
Every sperm is wanted,
every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed,
in your neighborhood.
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
spill theirs just anywhere
but God loves those who treat their
semen with more care.
Every sperm is useful,
every sperm is fine.
God needs everybodies,
mine, and mine, and mine.
Let the pagans spill theirs
on mountain hill and plain.
God shall strike them down for
each sperm that's spilled in vain.
Sweet dreams
:-)

Been there, done that, lost friends, and carry the scars to prove it asshole.
Like I said before COWARD, unless you've actually picked up a weapon in defense of what your love, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE THE DEMANDS YOU ARE!
Got that chickenshit?
You're nothing more than some puny assed commie limp wrist animal molestor who hates himself so much that he gets off on pretending anyone actually gives a shit about him and his opinions.
Until you've had shrapnel dug out of your arm, or until you've witnessed a medic getting gunned down trying to help a fellow soldier who himself was gunned down or something like that, shut that sewage pipe you call a mouth and grow a pair.
Until then, anything you post amounts to an orgy of stultifying cacophonous verbal depravity; an exercise in literary impotence, and an offense to all of good taste and decency.
Now, why don’t you climb onto that Special Needs tricycle of yours with the fourth wheel attached for extra-ensured retard stability and pedal your fat ass down to the sports field and do some “outdoors” stuff for a change. Hell, if you don’t like it, you can always offer to lick-clean the jockstraps.

My post was somewhat humorous, somewhat serious. AC makes a lot of good points. He sometimes expresses them in a way that may invite retaliation. Airtrainer and WAA also make quite a few good points. They have some good things to say, and I enjoy hearing from them. I did not mention you specifically as being in the "beat up AC" party. (I saw no negative comments towards AC by yourself) Not to mention that AC can handle himself quite well without my help. I believe he may actually enjoy these little bashing sessions!
I'm showing that some of his points are serious. They need to be discussed seriously. Maybe not here, but somewhere. I'm very well aware that the comments were reflected as a humorous method of dealing with aldringham's trolling tactics. Nevertheless, I find AC and aldringham to be funny, and enjoy their little flame wars they start.
P.S. Yes indeed. I find these "trolling and bait casting tactics" to be hilarious. Even funnier is the ensuing arguments and comments!
