I thought the left here has been maintaining that he bought a place in Paraguay to escape prosecution? I know I've read that here on the DR several times.

Good for him.

I hope he runs for King of Texas...

and wins...

Is he paying his fair share of taxes on the purchase? -The Left

There's something about Texas that attracts the whackjobs. Strange.

On the other hand, Dumbya can rent out the home to about six Latino familes. Think of the money he'll make.

Six? Dontcha mean sixteen?

Is he getting a sweetheart deal on the mortgage? - the Right?

He's a racist! -Detroit

How many homes do the BushCo clan own by this point?

Maybe he can buy some of Ted Stevens extra stuff he has lying around in order to make the place feel more like a home.

The fish sculpture fer a start.

/Deos this mean Dumbya is gonna hafta work on his fake Texas accent again?
//Cos that's hard werk.

Be Well.

I'm surprised to hear it is in Preston Hollow. I heard from a realtor friend a few months ago that he had bought a place in Highland Park.

That big oil empire is doing well? Eh?

President Bush and his wife have purchased a $2 million home in Preston Hollow

Bush's fault...

He made an offer here but we told him the bridge is still out. -Chappaquiddick Chamber of Commerce

How many homes do the BushCo clan own by this point?

There's something about Texas that attracts the whackjobs.

It's the low cost of living, good weather, and jobs. At least that's what's bringing the whackkjobs from the rust belt down here.

Some folks would argue Hyde Park in Chicago is better. But those people got a sweetheart deal on adjacent proprty.

"But those people got a sweetheart deal on adjacent proprty."

When you have a Bin Laden family freind and investor you don't need no stinking sweetheart deal on adjacent property.

Rezco hurt America how???

Bin Laden.....????

What did he do, the home inspection prior to the offer?

None of you posters here seem to get the real point of this. That he only bought the "ranch" in Crawford in 1999 to scam people into believing that he was some kind of rural cowboy and now that he no longer needs to keep up that charade he is ditching the fake digs as fast as he can. So A1 and all you other suckers gloat all you want, but you were hornswagled.

TFD-
Never seen this cowboy on a horse. Not once.

That he only bought the "ranch" in Crawford in 1999 to scam people into believing that he was some kind of rural cowboy

Well, that's certainly one view, although it seems a little cynical to me. Perhaps he wanted some isolation after being in the midst of everything in Washington. Perhaps it's easier to have the high security the president of the US demands in a reural environmet. Perhaps a home in Preston Hollow while president would've disrupted life for the other residents too much whenever the president and his entourage rolled through.

His life's history is in the open. Even if he bought the King ranch, no one would believe he is a rural cowboy.

Never seen this cowboy on a horse. Not once.

I have.

Does anybody think George will ever clear brush again?

I still wonder about the no-photo-of-W-the-brush-
clearin-cowboy-Texan-with-
swagger-and-boots-on-a-horse-

Really, I do. The substance of his Presidency is too awful to think about sometimes, so that's just a fun musing I have now and then.

Does anybody think George will ever clear brush again?

Doubtful. Everyone in Preston Hollow has Mexican gardeners.

Where? Do you have a photo?

At a dude ranch south of Dallas. Yes, I have a photo. In fact, about a year ago in this very forum someone said they'd give $50 for a photo of Bush on a horse. I forget who it was. But he never ponied up (pun intended) so like lot of folks on the DR, just more hot air.

The former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, in a recent interview with the Washington Post called US President George W Bush a "windshield cowboy" and claimed the US President despite his rough Texan cowboy image is in fact afraid of horses.

Fox told the Washington Post how he remembered offering President Bush a ride on one of his horses and the President backed away from the animal. Fox said, "a horse lover can always tell when others don't share our passion."

He also pointed out that the ranch President Bush purchased in 1999 and speaks so fondly has no horses and only five cattle.

Don't know if its true or not, but it would sort of be the final humiliation in a long, long series.

Sanantonio-
Well, it's just a little weird. They played up the authentic cowboy schtick to the hilt both in 2000 and thereafter. The "architect" is running his campaign, and I can't Google up one image of Bush on a horse.

There must be one.

yup-like he said, fool you once, shame on karl, fool you twice, you must be a Republican.

An east coast Andover private school elitist, like the dreaded Kennedy clan, Dubya suckered the gullible righties into believing he was one of them good old boys. Are Republicans born stupid, or do they suffer some closed head injuries?

Its right there in my #28, BetelG. And unless Goat comes up with another one, I'm going to assume that is the only one in existence.

LOL.

Well...wherever he goes, there he is. No matter what rock he crawls under, his legacy will become his shadow. He'll hear it late at night prowling around out in dark, whispering his name and snickering.

If this were the business he said he was going to run this country like, right about now security would be showing him to the door. So pay him the severance, cash out his remaining vacation time, give him a nice exit interview meal at Red Lobster, whatever. Now he's just a constant distraction to the other associates and there's no upside to having a frog-exploding fellow like him marking time anywhere near the football.

Thank you, Gotaman.

How many people believe Goatman took a picture of Bush on a horse?

Not me.

He said someone didn't pay the $50 to see the photo, which means he had a way of showing the photo to someone to pay off the $50, and that he did showed the photo and was not paid.

Show the photo Goatman.

Prove me a fool--or prove yourself a liar.

I had a cousin who took a photograph of Bigfoot, or Brown Yeyi Ya Ya, as the natives call it. I haven't seen the actual photo yet, though.

Just a P.S. --

I saw the photo you linked of your granddaughter over on the Nooner thread (the one w/all the posts about the Epson 800 printer). Left a post about her picture at the end of the thread but you had left DR for the night. She's a little doll.

I don't care about your high school diploma--I can believe you graduated high school. I don't care about a picture of you inside of AF 2 with the VP--entirely possible.

You said you had a picture of Bush on a horse.

Why would they pay unless you showed them the picture? Follow so far? No picture--no pay. Get it? But you hinted that they SHOULD have paid, which means you showed the picture. Follow so far? If you showed the picture, that means you had a way of showing the picture. Still there? Focus now.

If you showed the picture to someone else on the DR, that means you had a way of showing the picture to someone else on the DR. I am simply saying--show the picture again, and make a fool of me. Don't show the picture--make a liar of you?

If there is a tough part in there for you--now is the time for questions.

She's a little doll.

Thanks. I took one yesterday that is the best shot I've ever gotten of her. BUt I did not upload it to the PC so I won't have access to it for two weeks. I'll upload it when I get back home. In it she has the best smile she's ever had. Her eyes are twinkling, and her whole face is smiling, not just her mouth.

Her first teeth came in last week. She is starting to 'cruise'. (I just found out that is what walking around while hanging on to furniture and stuff is called.) She is just 7 months old, but I'll bet she'll be walking in another month or two.

Why would they pay unless you showed them the picture?

I made the arrangement to show the picture. They did not make the arrangement to pay.

Follow so far? LOL

I am simply saying--show the picture again, and make a fool of me. Don't show the picture--make a liar of you?

False logic, bOob. Just because I don't back up what I say, doesn't mean it's not true. Are really that stupid to think otherwise?

Of course you are! You just proved it.

...and make a fool of me.

You certainly don't need my help! LOL

There you go again -- bOoB interpretations. I'm laughing at you and your isanity, fool, which sadly, is not a joke. It is quite real. Even if it was a joke, it would be your joke, not mine. You are he insane one.

Please try to get it right, OK? Is that even remotely possible?

Looks like Goatman is the "who else" he was talking about.

So says the guy who says a shadow looks like a smokestack on the moon. Yeah, bOoB, we all have the utmost respect for what things "look like" to you.

The false logic is yours dumMy. I simply gave you the option to make a fool of me. That you don't show the picture does not mean it doesn't exist. Nothing in my statement hinted at such a conclusion---except your false logic.

However, if it is so easy to make a fool of me and prove yourself to not be a liar, I would think that the easiest choice and the choice most people would make, would be to show the picture and make a fool of your opponent. But that still doesn't mean you don't have the picture.

It is the same logic that tells me Buzz Aldrin didn't go to the Moon because he wouldn't simply swear on the bible he went to the Moon and charity would get thousands of dollars. If it were me--I would have sworn on the bible and said "Pay up bitch" and made the phrase famous. Aldrin attacked the guy. If Aldrin went to the moon, he is an American icon and a celebrity, and he chose that life. If he went, he went on our dime, and he owes it to us to tell what he saw---he owes it to us to tell us he went. His action didn't match the history he was claiming. Neither does yours. Just because Aldrin wouldn't swear on the bible doesn't mean he didn't go to the moon, just like you not showing the picture doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It just makes the credibility go way down.

Goatman

This looks like a shadow to you? A moving, growing, disappearing shadow?

Your credibility is dropping by the second.

See Goatman twist in the wind as his own words make a fool of him.

;-)

I am simply saying--show the picture again, and make a fool of me.

I've though about this, bOoB, and I'm willing to take you up. But it's going to cost you. It's not enough for me to make a fool out of you because you do that job well enough and your reputation is pretty much shit here anyway. So here's my proposal:

We choose a neutral party to mediate whom we both trust. We both send that party a cashier's check for $500 made out to the other person. (I'll go higher -- much higher if you want, however). When the mediator receives both checks, I'll send the picture to that person. If I fail to send the picture in an agreed upon time (say, a week) the mediator sends you both cashier checks. If I do send the picture, the mediator sends me the cashier checks and sends you the photo.

I know you will say that I would send a photoshopped print. But if you remember, I said I have the negative, which of course I do since I don't lie. It's a cool picture and I hate to give up the negative, but for $500, I would. I would have the mediator send both the print and the negative to you.

Do we have deal? Will you put your money where your mouth is or will you continue to babble, lie, and obfuscate is you always do? Well, punk?

LOL

BTW, I fully trust CC and AU. If you have someone else in mind, let me know. There are only a handful of people on this blog I don't trust.

This looks like a shadow to you? A moving, growing, disappearing shadow?

I understand your memory problem, so it is with great patience I explain this to you again for at least the 20th time. I know it won't be the last either.

I don't look at your silly youtube.com videos. You have become the boy who cried wolf.

You would really save me a lot of keystrokes if you put a little post it note on your PC screen that says: "Do not ask goatman to look at youtube.com videos". This will save you keystrokes, too. We both win. Thanks.

However, if it is so easy to make a fool of me and prove yourself to not be a liar,

You've read my offer. Are you going to put your money where your punk mouth is?

It just makes the credibility go way down.

Like when you refuse my offer? If you are correct, you stand to be $500 dollars richer (or as I said, as high as you want) and according to SAR own one of two existing pictures -- and negative -- of Bush on a horse. That alone would probably be worth a few thousand more.

Well, punk? Do you accept or not? I've already got the money spent in my head!

*crickets*

See Goatman twist in the wind as his own words make a fool of him.

See bOoB's lack of words make an ass of him as he refuses to accept my offer.

Tell you what -- I'll even throw in some shots from inside AF2 and me with the VP for free!

I resent the email.

Guess it got lost in Cyberspace

BuffaloBob and Goat --

$500 might be a little high. Let's lower the financial stakes.

Suppose you both bet $25-$50 and, since the monetary bet is now much lower, as part of the deal Goatman -- win or lose - would get back his original negative.

BuffaloBob could agree (win or lose) that he'll have a duplicate copy made of Goat's original negative to keep for himself to keep and return the original back to Goat.

That way you'll BOTH have a negative of a (apparently rare) photo of GWB on a horse. And one of the two of you will be richer by $25 - $50 (depending what amount you both decide on for the bet).

Just a suggestion.

Let's lower the financial stakes.

Sorry, I'm not going to give up the negative for that low of an amount -- esecially if what SAR says is true, tht there is only one other picture like it on the earth. I have something pretty valuable here. I don't trust bOoB to send me back the original. As I said, for $500, I would.

Besides, da bOoB just proved he is all mouth and no action. He wouldn't even bet a dollar. He's like that little chihuahua that likes to nip on the pit bull's heels. But when the pit bull turns to face him, he tucks his tail between his legs and hides. LOL

Califchris

Nope--If I had the picture, I would show it. I wouldn't whine like a little bitch about money. I would put up, or shut up.

Same as I offer Goatman. If he needs money to prove his integrity, he has no integrity. And I don't want him to show it to someone else and have them tell me about it. If he can't show me the picture, I'm not interested.

BuffaloBob

If Goatman shows the negative on DR then how do you know it's real?
ANYTHING can be made up on the internet and in photoshop. Plus it would be very hard to "see" what's in a negative.

Besides, if Goat follows your demand --

Show the picture or STFU. You said you had it--put up or shut up.

That's the parameters I set.

Simple isn't it.

I'm not being a smartass, but what does Goat "win" or get out of it if there's no bet placed but he shows his original negative here on DR? What's in it for him? A cyber "pat on the back"? lol

And how would we know the negative was really an "original"? Just askin'.

I would put up, or shut up.

You would? Good! Then you changed your mind and will accept my offer. Who do you want to be the mediator?

If he can't show me the picture, I'm not interested.

And if you can't put your money where your mouth is, I'm not intereste. But you did say you would put up or shut up. Do you want to put up more than $500, or is the $500 fine? How much are you putting up?

And how would we know the negative was really an "original"?

He wouldn't. THe first thing he'd say is that it was photoshop and I'm a liar. We'd be where we are right now. So why should I bother to show it on the internet?

That's why he has to put something up. But he did say he would put up in post 96. I'm just waiting to see if he wants to go higher than $500.

BuffaloBob

...And I don't want him to show it to someone else and have them tell me about it. If he can't show me the picture, I'm not interested.

No, if I were you I wouldn't trust some third party either to tell you it was an original negative.

But Goatman wrote as part of the bet:

"I would have the mediator send both the print and the negative to you [BuffaloBob].

Goat would send you the real negative and a print. I guess the intermediary person is to be a witness to prove that Goat actually sent his negative to you in the first place. Then the intermediary would also be the one to prove that you returned the original negative back to him (and any $$$ if any were owed).

Of course if it's not an original negative sent to you in the first place (of GWB on a horse) then you wouldn't owe a dime and wouldn't need to send the negative back either, I guess.

All I can say is this all better be done by registered mail. lol

I don't know. It's late. You boys hash it out. May the best man win.

Same as I offer Goatman. If he needs money to prove his integrity, he has no integrity

???

I would essentially be selling you a (from what I understand to be) rare photo. You expect me to give you something that rare for free? And lf I don't, I have no integrity?

That's funny. You crack me up, but you already know that.

I missed about 3-4 posts you guys had already written by the time I finished writing mine.

If what Goatman wrote about SAR saying is true --

Sorry, I'm not going to give up the negative for that low of an amount -- especially if what SAR says is true, that there is only one other picture like it on the earth.

then Goatman would be nuts to only bet $500 and lose ownership of the original negative.

I would put the negative up for sale on eBay and Craig's list and see if you could get a few grand for it. Forget only getting a lousy $500.

Question -- was this negative from a photo taken with your (or a friend's) own personal camera or was it a commercial negative which just never got printed but you were able to get it somehow?
I don't need the details. Just wondering if the negative was from some candid shot with your own camera or what.

It is photo (actually several photos) I took with my 35mm.

Hell, I'll go ahead and give the details.

My wife used to work for a high-falootin' real estate guy in the Turtle Creek part of Dallas (a very exclusive part of town. In the mid '80s we went to a picnic her company had at a dude ranch south of Dallas. They had an entire side of beef on a spit cooking. IT was cool!

There were a lot of people there that I would not normally be rubbing shoulders with. Bush was there. At the time he was not a politician. But he was the son of the vice president, so that made me want to get his picture. It happened that he rode by on a horse with some other big shots. That's when I took the picture. There were other big shots there, too, whose pictures I took. I'm glad I held on to the negatives. It sounds like they might be worth something.

I'm not really that excited about putting them on e-bay, but they are worth parting over if for no other reason but to rub bOoB's nose hard up his own ass -- and teh $500 of course. *grin*

Goatman

Never mind the question in my #103 post above.

Only just now saw this previous post you had written which answered my quesstion --

BUt this one won't be easy to find. It's my personal photo because I took it. I have the negative.

Goatman gets the satisfaction of making look like a fool. What do I get out of it? I'm not that interested in whether Bush rides a horse or not. I'm the one taking the risk--the only one with something to lose. As Goatman said--just because he doesn't show the picture doesn't mean he doesn't have the picture.

But the bet was mine to make--not Goatmans. He declined my offer. Whether he has such a picture or not is not worth a nickel to me--or anyone else as far as I can tell.

I just called him on his bullshit, and he twists as usual. Ho frickin hum.

oops too late -- simultaneous posts at 3:02 p.m.

I agree with Califchris--except I would talk to photographers who sell photos and ask their advice on how to market it.

Then Goatman could link to his famous pic and prove his point. I would accept professinal photographers who publish the pic as proof that it is authentic.

Goatman gets the satisfaction of making look like a fool.

SOmething you do quite well on your own? Wow. That's about the same satisfaction I would get calling charles Manson a madman or calling the sky blue.

But the bet was mine to make--not Goatmans. He declined my offer.

bOoB -- I said I was willing to wait until your meds kicked in. Better wait a little longer. It was I who made the bet, not you. You also said upthread that you would "put up or shut up". Are you backing down on your word? Because if you are, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

...and he twists as usual.

???

twists? I came out and made a bold offer! You call that "twisting"? As I said, better give your meds some more time to kick in. You didn't wait long enough. You are making zero sense.

I would accept professinal photographers who publish the pic as proof that it is authentic

???

Meds, bOoB, meds.

You want me to post the picture on line, but you won't accept it as real without a professional photographer authenticating it?

So what the fuck is the point in my posting it when you have as good as said you don't believe it even before you have seen it?

Honestly -- do ever even really thing about what you write?

Then Goatman could link to his famous pic

It's not famous, bOoB. Until I mentioned it on the DR, probably fewer than 20 or 25 people even knew it existed. It never has really been a big deal to me.

Goat

That's when I took the picture. There were other big shots there, too, whose pictures I took. I'm glad I held on to the negatives. It sounds like they might be worth something.

I'm sure those photos could very well be worth some money. That's why I asked why you'd even think of parting with that negative for only $500. Hey, I should have made the bet and paid you $500 and kept the negative. lol

Come on, only ONE other photo of Bush on a horse (whem he was a little kid) and YOU may own the only other photo of him as an adult on a horse! $$$$$$$$$

And I wouldn't sell the actual original negative either. I would get the highest magazine bidder to pay me for exclusive publishing rights for a "print" made from the negative. But YOU keep the original negative. Hey, National Enquirer might even pay you $100,000 for it. That's the going rate a lot of times for rare photos of famous people and Bush is famous for not liking to ride horses.
(I wonder if he was ever thrown from a horse or something?)

If you make a $100,000 from my suggestion to sell publishing rights of your negative (and I "saved you" from "giving it away" for a mere $500 to BuffaloBob) then you owe me a nice little "used" late model Toyota mini-SUV for being your "agent" and giving you such lucrative advice. LOL

Good night, boys. Play nice.

Must you prove your stupidity post after post. Can you ever have a logical thought? Of course if you have a valueable picture YOU shouldn't post it online---sell it, then link to it dUmmY when it is published. This little tiff is meaningless. You can still prove your point next month or next year, whenever it is published. It doesn't have to be put online tonight iDiot. Get it slow-Joe?

Get the pros to accept it, and I will accept it.

I'll sell THIS negative for $50 right now:

Goatman

If it gets published--it will be famous dUmmY. The only adult picture of Bush on a horse. What a marOOn.

If it gets published--it will be famous dUmmY.

Yes, bOoB. BUt you used present tense upthread. Now you are using future tense. I know that moving goal posts is on of your favorite tactics, but honestly, you should know by now that I don't fall for it. Well, if you had a brain you would know that. Never mind.

Get the pros to accept it, and I will accept it.

OK. Let me get this straight: I spend the money to get a professional photographer to authenticate a photograph and somehow get this authentication to you just so I have the right to call an anonymous blogger who has proven himself to be crazier than a shithouse rat crazy.

wow. Where do I sign up?

What a marOOn.

hint: If you are going to call someone a 'moron', best to spell it right yourself. I think they call that a self retorting retort here.

Goatman

Where did you see anything in that post about getting a photographer to authenticate it and send me the authentication?

I said--sell the facking thing---get money for it---then link to it when it is published sometime.

Holy fick---do you read at all dUmmY?

In addition, upthread, the photo wasn't considered valueable. If you do have the photo, there is now the possiblity that it is valueable. I didn't move the goalposts at all. You just lied through your teeth about it duMmy, and got caught again.

Goatman

Not my field of law but just some suggestions for you --

When you get back to Texas FIND that negative (and the rest of the photos you took that day) and then put them in a safe deposit box. You might want to make up some prints before you lock up the negatives. Then do some checking around and see what the going rate would be for a allegedly rare photo of Bush on a horse.

DO NOT send a copy of a print made from the negative print (or even a xerox copy of a print) to anyone -- no matter what some publisher or magazine might tell you you'd need to do as "proof" to show them you really had it.

IF you've got a negative of value then you'll first need -- before anything else -- some kind of contract protecting your ownership rights to the negative/photo. Some publisher might ask you for a "copy" as "proof" it exists and I don't know how the laws work in that regard. If you did send any kind of duplication, even though it was only meant to prove you had the negative, you could possibly lose exclusivity re the ownership of your photo?

Protect your own interests first and foremost. Time to maybe ask your lawyer cousin how to handle this should your negative proves to be of any potential real value.

I have no idea if your negative would be of any real monetary value but it's worth it for you to at least check it out and, if it is, then make sure your ownership rights are locked in place via a contract. Just sayin'.

GOAT and BuffaloBob

I hate to ruin your party, but I took this picture after I led George Bush and his horse home from a hard night out in Waco. Laura had hidden the car keys, and so George got to town the best he could. When I found him he was head down in a Margarita mumbling something about Saddam.

Goatman

There is a difference between a moron and a maroon. I will explain it for you and see if your moronic brain can grasp the concept. A moron is a person of low intelligence, incapable of learning much, with a minimal imagination. A marOOn is what Bugs Bunny calls stupid people.

Here's another one. Make an offer LOL

Where did you see anything in that post about getting a photographer to authenticate it and send me the authentication?

I would accept professinal photographers who publish the pic as proof that it is authentic.

I used to say short memory, but now I'm convinced you have no memory at all. You should really, really, really learn to us the PGUP key, bOoB

Holy fick---do you read at all dUmmY?

ALl too well, sadly for you. Too bad you don't

I didn't move the goalposts at all.

I understand that with no memory and a morbid fear of the PGUP key that you would not remember using present tense, then chastising me as if you had used future tense.

THat is moving the goalpost.

A marOOn is what Bugs Bunny calls stupid people.

Oh. So you think you are bugs bunny. I see the anti-delusinal meds still have not taken effect.

I wonder if the shitstains (and by that, I mean the BushKlan and his supporters) will call this place a 'ranch' too?

It's funny how the right tries to paint every Dem president as having an 'Estate' while the Republitards always have 'Ranches'. I guess the BushKlan beachfront property in Maine is a 'Ranch' too?

Two million bucks for a house in Preston Holler, and he's bought a ranch in Paraguay?

Yikes. Must be his cut of the Halliburton profits.

Ah well. At least he can be served with summonses and subpoenas in Teyucksus.

I was so hoping he'd go back to the Crawford ranch and cut brush--the only job he's ever had that he's qualified for.

Is he getting a sweetheart deal on the mortgage? - the Right?

and this proves what I have said all along when faced with ridiculous rantings from libs here about bush not really being a texan

as I have said, he recieved a special invitation and he got here as fast as he could.
and YES I voted yes when the ballot got to me

"as I have said, he recieved a special invitation and he got here as fast as he could."

So when you're flying in to Love Field on Southwest from now on, look down and you might just see Laura and George nude sunbathing on the patio.

uh....err.....no thanks....

Wow. I'll bet Sheehan would love that house on the left side....

Classy, herm.

Sad.

Looks like I have yet ANOTHER reason to not visit my family in Dallas. Not that I needed one...

Is this within marksman distance of the Texas book repository? I still feel pissed about paying six bucks - twenty years ago - to look out the window from which Oswald supposedly offed JFK. I don't believe in capital punishment but mister, we could use a man like Lee Harvey again. herm

Herm, some people let their hatred take them to deep dark places of their souls and you just showed how deep yours takes you. Pathetic. Even your friends from the left are telling you how sick that is.

everwrong you know there were under the table bribes going on. Republican and corrupt fit together like legos. If a man is a republican you can assume 99% he was corrupt. Just like I can safely assume you to be corrupt.

Sorry, but your post just evoked a vision of you stamping you little patent leather shoe-clad foot and flouncing out of the room.

The reference made was obviously to the myriad lucrative no-bid contracts Halliburton and subsidiaries have enjoyed under the Bush benefactorship, and speculating as to whether there might ultimately be a payback for that.

MTW was making an observation - possibly tongue-in-cheek, so demands for absolute proof are ludicrous and eye roll-worthy. But if you feel so strongly, please provide proof that Bush will NOT benefit from Halliburton largess. We'll wait for as long as it takes.

Pay no attention to rastaninja. She gets like this about the same time every month. I think it has to do with water retention (in the head).

PS to Everlong. You apparently do not yet have enough experience around here to figure out who are the provacateurs.

Dude, you're just dumb and I'm beginning to realize that you certainy are not worth talking to. It is painfully obvious that you have been doing too many kool-aide shooters. By your logic it would be fair for me to say that every democrat is a communist, America hating, terrorist sympathizing, anti-capatilist.

And where do you get off giving dems a pass when it comes to corruption? Are we to believe that no democrat has ever been caught with his hands in the cookie jar? Anyway, like I said, you're truly ignorant and you are showing it to everyone on the board. Try not to believe everything you hear from Truthout, Moveon.org, and the Daily Kos.

Ahhh, you see. Everyone here uses the old show me a link defense and the minute I do it you try to turn it around on me and tell me to find proof. Problem with that is you made the claim that Bush would be making money off of Halliburton. It should be much easier to find where he HAS made money than it would be to find where he hasn't.

And I am well aware of no-bid contracts. I am also aware that this is nothing new for the government and Halliburton it just irks dems when it's Bush in office.

"Problem with that is you made the claim that Bush would be making money off of Halliburton."

No, I didn't.

"Ahhh, you see. Everyone here uses the old show me a link defense and the minute I do it you try to turn it around on me and tell me to find proof."

You're not really paying attention. My initial response was to likelyhood that you had just become troll bait.

Gee, it's nice to know that the righties still have a nerve I can hit. Maybe the book repository reference is a bit strong. I apologize to the outraged. But when you hear of his millions (billions?) that may be Halliburton profit from an illegal and immoral war, when elsewhere a Big Oil person predicts buck-a-gallon gasoline in '09, don't you have just the slightest - well, er - urge to... ??? herm

It's all U. S. taxpayers business dickhead!

That's as stupid as me throwing out the N-word and giving myself a fucking pat on the back for touching a nerve. Anyone wishing death on any U.S. President past, present or future needs their head checked.

Depends on where you go. It the bar is in Tijuana or Juarez, it would make perfect sense.

Huevos, cojones, pelotas (**) Huevos literally means "eggs" and pelotas are "balls", but these words are also slang for "testicles" (cojones). The expressions with these words are endless and in many instances you can use either word.

but mister, we could use a man like Lee Harvey again.

Hate to pile on but that was, indeed, uncool.

Spud gets the song reference and all but the last thing the blog-god needs is fer the SS to show up on his doorsteps with a supoena looking fer yer exact whereabouts.

Besides Spud would prefer to see Bush and Cheney brought up on charges and humiliated in a court of law and to have all their power and prestige stripped from them layer by layer.

Spud would tivo it and use the freeze frame feature to capture the exact moment their total comeuppance sank in and crushed their combined hubris like bug hitting a windshield of a formula one vehicle at top speed.

You were right Cali. It should have been cajones.

~OC & Stiggs

Wrongo, friendo.

It shoulda been "huevos".

Cajones, huevos, stones, testicular fortitude, plums, nutsacks, jumblies, nut butter factories etc are all potential fits fer that phrase but "huevos" conveys a sense of fragility that the other ones don't plus the natural connotation between "huevos" and "rancheros" makes a nicer fit fer faux rancher Bush.

Ya always got to apply context and understand natural connotations.

/Plus having an actual sense of humour helps.

Be Well.

Next time I will simply use the term BALLS.

You are and I will.
And to be honest, I don't believe you have such a photo. It would be pretty easy to show it, you probably could even sell it to a news agency, it being the only known pic of an adult GW on a horse. but I don't really expect you to be genuine with spin like this...

Perhaps he wanted some isolation after being in the midst of everything in Washington. Perhaps it's easier to have the high security the president of the US demands in a reural environmet. Perhaps a home in Preston Hollow while president would've disrupted life for the other residents too much whenever the president and his entourage rolled through.

Which makes no sense considering he bought the ranch during the campaign before he was elected.

I don't believe you have such a photo.

I knew there is some reason Dubya decided to tank the economy. He wanted a home at a discount price. Makes sense now.
