Tiger?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Anybody have any thoughts on Tiger losing the PGA championship? It kind of reminded me of Borg beating McEnroe at Wimbledon many years ago.

It was a very exciting golf match, but Tiger just didn't seem to be putting very well.

Can anyone recommend some good sites for bicycling? I am interested in road bikes primarily, and would prefer something for beginners. Thanks. smile

Criticism of US military by Navy vet

Posted By Darian Rachal
I've stated before how I find the 'glorification' of the military distasteful. I'm not antimilitary, but I suspect there is a tremendous amount of money wasted on miltary spending and to be quite frank, everytime I think about the US government forcing 18 year old 'kids' into the military and shipping them over to die in the Vietnam 'farce', I get a bit nauseated. There is a WalMart commercial about a pathetic looking little boy wishing it would snow for his father stationed in the Middle East. "Something" about that commercial "rubs me the wrong way". I guess they are trying to evoke(manipulate) certain emotions.

Anyway, enough of my 'babbling'; I find this vet's thoughts on the military interesting and I suspect may be shared by many. http://www.lewrockwell.com/cooper/cooper25.1.html

Tiger Woods?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Anybody have any thoughts on the Wood's situation regarding his traffic accident and his wife breaking out the back window of the vehicle to get him out? wink I think I find the way stuff like this is reported is as interesting as the story. smile

Atlanta Mayoral Election?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Lee, How that election campaign coming along in Atlanta? I understand that some of the "blacks" are a bit upset that a white person dare run for the office?
