Early to mid 70's. As I like to say, I was on active duty while Bush
was AWOL. I have no complaints about my medical care, though the only
time I needed it was when I broke my collarbone in a bike crash. My
dental care was state-of-the-art, really excellent.

You sound like someone with a lot of medical problems. The insurance
companies don't want people like you and will find a way to get rid of
you.

They just want customers that don't need or want insurance.


Dumbass,

Hi -- how is your day going? I'm in Austin this week and won't be
able to kick your ass at Starbucks. I went drinking and chasing with
Lance and after we put the bouncer in his place, Lance told me RBR has
a lot of morons and you're the biggest one -- worse than Lafferty.

Thanks,
SoTS

Did you buy any Mellow Johnny chamois cream ?

Austin? If you see my old buddy Val "Texas Chainwheel Massacre"
Hargrove, tell him I said hi. We got started in bike racing when we
were in training at Keesler AFB. He went on to fame and glory.

About the ass kicking thing- Let's just say that I was always the
biggest guy in the peloton. You can ask Val. Back then I was "lean and
mean". Now I'm "mean and mean." Since you fit in a clown car, I doubt
you can kick high enough to reach my ass. Maybe you could bite my
ankle.

Regarding the moron thing- aw, you poor li'l right winger. Did I hurt
your feelings? What can I say. I'm a sadistic bastard. Ripping the
wings off of right wingers is my idea of fun. :-))
Well, time for that afternoon training ride here in bicycling
paradise...

You have no idea. It's 68 degrees, a beautiful day for a ride thru the
vineyards. Whew, I see it's 92 and humid in Austin. Reminds me of
sweating thru basic training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. Hey, I
came up with a limerick on my training ride, hope you enjoy it:

There once was a SLAVE OF THE STATE
who suffered an ignominious fate
See Paul is a bard, while SLAVE'S a retard
So SLAVE'S feeling peckish of late.

How's that for a first effort? I'll have to refine it. I really
wanted to rhyme "retard" with "petard", but this has a Shakespearean
flavor too.
You have a nice day too.

OK, you're on! Wadda ya think- be honest, I can take criticism:

There is a fat SLAVE OF THE STATE
who's feelings are hurting of late
Paul's celebrating surely, while SLAVE'S being surly
Poor SLAVE BOY just can't catch a break.

A little help here, I'm stuck. What rhymes with "purple"?

I don't really have a criticism of you for anything you have the

"Big dumb Paul"?! You're a glutton for punishment. I think I nailed
this part: "Paul's celebrating surely, while SLAVE'S being surly"
Darn, I was hoping you could help me out by coming up with something
that rhymes with "purple". Maybe you could tell me- does "Regina"
rhyme with "vagina"? If it does, it would be funnier than "china",
and I love a good laugh.

None of your posts pointed out factual errors in Moore - they implied
errors but didn't get to specifics. That sort of "pointing" to errors
is easy - but not accurate.

His website talks about the uninsured, as does the opening sequence of
the movie, but the focus on the movie is on insured people adn the
problems many face in the US healthcare system.

There surely are errors in the Moore movies - it's just about
unavoidable in 90 or 120 minutes. Are there serious errors? I've
never seen evidence of any. Are there many? No.

No, it's not because you have varied opinions. It's because you make
all sorts of illogical connections between things. All the opponent
of a poltician has to do to get you to not vote for his opponent is
say "Michael Moore has endorsed some of my opponents ideas" All a
politician has to do to have you not vote for him/her would be to
accept money from, say MoveOn. That's it. You can agree with 60%,
80& or more of their policies, but those little bogeymen are enough to
have you write them off.

It seems like you don't vote your interests or your goals.
