It took over 3 weeks to get here. I don't think companies are keeping much inventory anymore. It's the same with buying auto parts. I also put on new rope.

He quickly walked over and started hitting the man with a small wooden stick. He then realized the man was using a blue hankerchief with white stars to wipe his nose. Roosevelt was quick to apologize for his behavior, although struck him one more time because he had become “riled up with national pride” with this similarity the cloth had to the flag."<br /><br />Bob Etheridge is carrying on this great tradition of assaulting private citizens.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-39071035966722667472010-06-14T12:07:24.179-05:002010-06-14T12:07:24.179-05:00Thnks Pogo, Freeman, dbp and the rest

In the last decade we've seen America attacked, wars, stock market crash, financial institutions blow up, housing prices collapse, deep perhaps even a double-dip recession, high unemployment, natural and man-created disasters, out of control government, sky-rocketing national debt..... <br /><br />I hadn't seen Field of Dreams currently being repeatly shown on ION tv, since its release 20 years ago, really didn't remember much of it and I'm not a baseball fan, but the James Earl Jones speech reminded me of America resiliency and her ability to rebuild and reshape: <br /><br /><i> The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. <b>America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.</b> But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game – it’s a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again.</i><br /><br />It will take awhile but she <i>will</i> regain her inner balance, harmony, boldness and unique spirit.... and become more circumspect in selecting her leaders.lemondoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606734670170393751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-24581037031250526962010-06-14T11:16:20.401-05:002010-06-14T11:16:20.401-05:00The design of that poster is remarkably contempora...The design of that poster is remarkably contemporary.

The Monroe Doctrine said it again. Our Kenyan negotiator and his Marxist Lite Cadre just want money to sell out for millions of dollars and surrender us to the reincarnation of those Empires working thru a proposed Global Governance. That is why Obama loves every new crisis real and imagined by the fiction media. The day Obama fights for America instead of systematically demolishing America, then the Tea Partiers can go back home and Sarah "the warrior" Palin can go back to Alaska. In the meantime we all need to rally with her and the Tea Party folks while there still is an American Flag.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-21587206679212052812010-06-14T11:00:14.520-05:002010-06-14T11:00:14.520-05:00Le quatorze juin--not le quatorze juillet
