The Bar

My boss faced the same dilema I am facing ... knew he SHOULDNT vote for Bush and COULDNT vote for Kerry. I am pretty much in the "anybody but Kerry" boat at the moment. It really really sucks.

I wish we would go back to the old system where in the primary elections you simply vote for delegates to the convention, not directly for the candidates. It would reduce the campaign spending, make the convention worth something, shorten the campaigning, and make it less likely that used car salesman types of candidates that change their position several times a day depending on who they are talking to (e.g. Kerry) probably aren't nominated.

My choices are ... a teetotaling right wing religious nut or a spineless weasel with no integrity whatsoever.

When faced with the same dilema in the past, I always voted for the candidate that would pose the least threat, that would not be caught in any dirty tricks, would not be backed by a huge 'shadow' consortium that was expecting a return on their election investment... in short a candidate who had nothing to lose and everything to gain by being elected...

I always wrote in 'Richard Nixon'...

a deficiency not corrected is a new lower standard created.

Hi, GE!!!

Darrell Fuesting, MAJ (Retired) was the person that passed that line onto me... good dude... he put up with my shit (as his junior officer) for a couple of years before moving to another position.

Yes I am... I'll be wearing something below my waist... Something more than just my boots and socks, I mean. Looking forward to meeting you and all the other Seattleians.... are you guys going to have an ePlaya booth that we can gravitate towards? Might make it easier to find each other... even just a bulletin board with a place to leave messages.... something...

Oh, and can I get a glass of red wine while I'm here in the bar?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 12:42 pm

red wine, comin' up.

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 12:48 pm

thanks, GE. Anything will do... I only drink for the tanins.

Got a couple of gallons?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 12:53 pm

is boxed wine okay? I mean, if you're just drinking for the tanins....

oh, and I had some faboo mulled wine this weekend at the decom... yum... and it helped to keep warm...

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:07 pm

what week is the box? I like to be careful of the vintage...

And I have some mulling spice on the way... might have it for Seacomp...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 1:12 pm

Ok, GuinivereElise, what was your favorite part of decom?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Nov 02, 2004 2:10 pm

I've found a couple of boxes back here. Let's drink bad red wine till we drop!!

Oh, and THANK YOU Z... I've been waiting...

So, on Friday night of the decom, I got to be SUSPENDED from a CRANE by my wrists... leather wrist cuffs, complete with spreader bar...

I spun and danced and hung and twirled.... oh, and I was wearing fur chaps with a wide net bodystocking, and nothing else...

WOO HOO!!!
