Who Will Become President?

[mmichaelson]

Very cool Haggis, I'll be excited to see them.
How's the rain up there?
I think we're up to our YEARLY average down here. . .so we're right there with you.

[Selma in Sandy Eggo]

I want pictures of MDFHenge.

(What's MDF an abbreviation for, anyway?)

[Tony Gayle]

We just see Bush's foreign policy. You just see Blair's foreign policy. I guess we both know little of respective domestic policies, thus I'd not want to comment. Britain could have taken Iraq, but would not have gone alone. We only go alone as in the case of say the Falklands which belonged to us. The 1950s Suez lesson is still vivid in British memories. I personally believe it was the right thing to do to support the USA 100% after 9/11. I have seen the graves at the top of Omaha Beach, Normandy . . . and we don't forget! Peace be with you.

[mmichaelson]

Wow Chesh. How touching!

[The Great Carouser]

If no one else has done so let me say welcome to the pit, Chesh !

[mmichaelson]

Oh yeah, I was too busy forming a mutual admiration society. . .welcome!

Medium Density Fiberboard.

When I first heard about it, I thought it was just particle board, but it seems to be a much more refined product. It's a lot smoother on the surfaces, and it's apparently a lot easier on the saws and other tools.

I believe CarHenge is in Texas, isn't it?

[The Great Carouser]

Carhenge was in a field on the south side of I40 just west of Amarillo Tx. But I heard a rumor it had moved or was gone. Haven't been that way since I left 'the road' in 2000 so mayhaps someone else knows the facts?

[mmichaelson]

I haven't been near Amarillo in years. . .too far from here. .

[Shapley]

Carhenge is in Nebraska, the Cadillac Ranch is in Amarillo, TX. It still stands.

I gotta see MDFHenge.
Then there's "prefab"Henge on the UCSD Revelle Campus. I'm not sure what its official title is.


Haggis - there's your follow up book to "The Doors" .... "Henges"!

I don't know if you all remember who Katherine Harris is but get a load of this:

MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida motorist was arrested Wednesday on charges of trying to run down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris at an intersection where the controversial former state elections chief was campaigning for re-election to Congress.

No one was hurt. Witnesses noted the car's license tag number and police tracked the owner, Barry Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, who was jailed early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He said he was annoyed because some of Harris' supporters were blocking traffic, the arrest report said.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

Harris was Florida's secretary of state and its top election official during the state's presidential ballot recount battle in 2000. Vilified by Democrats for her role in halting the recounts

I'm sure the guy was just one of our exemplary drivers but it was kinda funny in a sick sorta way.
