I didn't say that I agree with everything he does, but he beats the hell out of the other choices we had... plus he had some great ideas to help the State not be in the mess it is now, but they where all voted down... but we know that I have shown that before...

If you wait for a politician that you agree with 80% of the time, your going to be waiting a long time before you find someone you like... Sarah Palin will be taking a fall soon... Dem's don't like her and she seems like shes not the same cut as other politicals so the Rep's love her... she picked to be a politician during this time... there must be something wrong with her and when the newness rubs off it will start to show...

You can't blame Arnold for the idiots in this State...

I use a trackball... no mouse pad... but the last one I had, I got from work so had the AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) logo on it...

Well if you look at the movies...
John Wayne:

1. Always plays John Wayne (not a bad thing)
2. Majority of the time plays the Strong good guy... the character may not always be good, but always tries to do the right thing...
3. Has been accused of not being able to act.

Steven Seagal:

1. Always plays Steven Seagal
2. Majority of the time plays the Strong good guy... the character may not always be good, but always tries to do the right thing...
3. Has been accused of not being able to act.

See so it's not that far off ...

anyway.. it looks like Steven (even though it's a new show) has been and is a sheriff. To me this shows that he is letting his actions match his words...

My friends rain gauge showed 6.5 inches of rain yesterday... Can't recall that much rain in such a short time here.... but all is well... and glad to hear all is well with you...

In every cloud there's a silver lining - you guys shouldn't have to worry about the wildfires they've been having all over California.

Yep and all the crap in the air will be gone... for a few days anyway...

I am basically just on the other side of the mountain from Chester and we are getting pounded by rain... all main streets are starting to be closed due to flooding. We still have power and all but can't get across town... Hope all is well with you Chester...

First time I have seen this....

I tried Chrome a while back, was still in beta... heck don't know could still be in beta... anyway, I did not like it at all, here's why...

First, it took over my system like AOL stuff does. After I installed it I could not get my system to revert to FireFox as my primary browser. Also after uninstalling I had to go into the registry to delete any instance that was left. I was just a big pain in the backside.

Second, I develop web applications and websites. Chrome just did not have the tools I need to do my job. Which made point one even more frustrating...

Third, I have tried other Google apps and just plain don't like most of them. Some of them are cool, at first, but I just don't like most of them.

Chrome should have an option for you to import all your bookmarks.

If they don't, then I would suggest FireFox 3

Thank you for the tour!!!

In April 2008 my son, who was fed up with the way this country was heading (UK) went to the USA, just outside Sacramento and got married. He was a trained IT bod and after he got his work permit spent ages trying to get work. He eventually got something but not in line with his qualifications.

Within about 2 months he was made redundant. He got another 'bit' job, and yesterday he got made redundant again. Seems California has the highest unemployment in the USA. Is that right? Arnie needs to do something.

Seems the 'land of plenty' image is somewhat tarnished. Obama has a tough job ahead of him.

Parts of California have some of the highest unemployment rates in the US. Northern California seems to be being hit a little harder than Southern California. The lawmakers have ran the high tech jobs out of California and they will more than likely never return. Arnie brought a bunch of reforms before the people and the idiots of this State voted them all down, and now they complain that Arnie hasn't done anything... just makes you shake your head...

Obama's Assistant Attorney General Tells Senate: Terrorists Captured on Battlefield Have Constitutional Rights

I think we as a public should reject ANYONE who has been trained for politics with in the last 5 years. Best way to shake up the system is to vote out everyone that makes it up...

Quote from Cole Thornton

That's why I titled my post "How Things Have Changed."

Ahh didn't see the title...

Well you have to admit that WWII was a much different war than the ones that followed. If you did not do everything in your power to be part of WWII there was something wrong with you, that is contrasted by Vietnam. Where if you did not do everything in your power to stay out of it, there was something wrong with you. That's my take on the general public view of things. So to compare the two is like comparing apples and oranges.

Well I for one have to say that I enjoy to debate and some times I even pick a point of view I don't agree with, just to have a debate.

I have to disagree with Cole being a troll... none of the comments have been, off topic, off the mark, personal attacks, or stated in such a way as to elicit an emotional response. It seems to me that he was only trying to point out what he feels is a hypocritical view point. I don't agree with him on that point, but did not feel that it was a personal attack in anyway.

The thing that made this Country great was the fact that not only could we all hold different opinions, we where able to respect the other side. This is no longer true, for the most part.
People take the stance now that if you don't agree with my side, then you are wrong. They try to point out all the reasons and facts of why they are wrong and when those fail, they resort to name calling and other strong arm tactics. It's all really kind of sad, no longer can there be a free exchange of ideas and that is why our Country is doomed...

Yes it was Ed that almost lost his home... I believe Trump bought the house and leased it back to him, just to help Ed out.

Ok, first this story was brought about by the National Inquirer which is the lowest form of crap publication there is. The have no source that is willing to
openly talk about it and that is the first sign that the story is crap.

Second, the grand daughter is not blood related. So technically it is NOT his grand daughter. She is the grand daughter of his first wife, so while it may
not be the best choice because she is sort of family, it's not like it's a child from one of his children.
