Wondering if any one has any feedback, the pentaxes may be hard to find. Thanks Mike

Voter's Wanted!

Posted By Michael Koons

Just a quick question on the immigration bill.....Will those deemed to be citizens get the right to vote? I wonder if that is the case who they would be inclined to vote for? The person who signed the bill into law, and his party. I think once the bill is front and center, if the right to vote is included, there will be little opposition as there would be 11 million votes to be lost! If this has been covered, I apologize.

I always use Stig's sky calendar to check when to get up to see what planet. It went away. Does anyone have any idea what is going on or a nice alternative. Thank you!!

A mandate?

Posted By Michael Koons

Maybe a bit early but, in giving the world part of an apology in the form of free speech today, I wonder what kind of "mandate" will be articulated by our commander in chief. My personal opinion is that we were all uninformed and ignorant > sad

Stig's is Awesome!

Posted By Michael Koons

OK, this is a GREAT site. The live Planet Finder window that updates as you pass your mouse over the calendar diagram...that's an excellent concept and some kick-ass programming.

Thanks for pointing this one out, Michael.

McCain!

Posted By Michael Koons

As a registered Republican who has not found much to vote for since Bush has been around I will be perhaps listening to Rush Limbaugh again soon. He so put me out with his thrashing of John McCain when he ran against Bush that I started to pull my head out of the sand. I wonder what his take will be on McCain this go around. :S

I thought Iraq used to keep Iran in check?

Anybody getting worried yet?

Lots of bad loans, real estate slowdown, China done building out for Olympics next year, any thoughts appreciated, thinking about parking some cash out of a few equities.......

Hillary or John

Posted By Michael Koons

Should I vote for John(who I wrote in as a primary candidate in 04) praying that he comes to his senses on immigration and Iraq, or Hillary, who would probably bring a bunch of conservative "Blue Dog" democrats in on her coat tails? I haven't found a conservative(fiscally) Republican to vote for since Reagan, who haven't been weird and ill informed such as Ron Paul? Who!? smile
