I have one of those personalities. Always been open to new experiences including drug use recreational and otherwise.. Two years ago I let myself slip and was addicted to roxys (pills, opiates) I detoxed myself and haven't had any PHYSICAL problems since. I also smoke weed once or twice a week.. But I love how I feel when I'm high and i get depressed sometimes when I want pills and can't get them i seem to think i have a better personality when I'm under the influence of whatever drug (pills being my d.o.c.) i recognize this in myself and since the birth of my son would never let myself slip into physical addiction like before because i keep it together for him and honestly cant afford them like i could before.

"Mumbled Speech" is on sale now!
Well, if you haven't heard yet, the new Katie Todd Band CD that I worked on is now available. The album is called Mumbled Speech and we are getting a truly great response so far. The official CD release party was held in Chicago at Martyrs on July 10. There was a great crowd, and we want to thank everyone that came out to help us celebrate. Also thank you to all of you that have already gotten the CD and sent me your comments. It's always great to hear to the different responses.
In another exciting note, Mumbled Speech has already begun to get major Chicago radio play. You can't imagine how excited I am about that. WXRT in Chicago started playing the CD this past Sunday afternoon, and we are hearing that they have played it a few times since then also. If you have a favorite radio station, please do us a favor and drop them a phone call or an email and let them know that you want to hear the new Katie Todd Band CD called Mumbled Speech. You might laugh, but it really does help.
I've got a lot of other updates to add to the site, but I just haven't had a chance to go through pictures and video yet. I'll get another update to the site as soon as I can.
Alright, that's all I've got for now.

UEFA are trying to hand down the biggest fine in the history of football to Manchester City due to breaking Financial Fair Play regulations, reports claim.
City, along with Paris St-Germain, were in a group of nine clubs to have been found in breach of the rules.
All the clubs have been negotiating with UEFA over their punishments.
According to reports in both France and the UK, UEFA want to fine City £50m and limit their Champions League squad next season to 21 players instead of the usual 25.
City are believed to be unhappy with the severity of their punishment but only have until Friday to agree a deal with European football's governing body.
City have been negotiating with the Club Financial Control Body but the decision may now how to go to arbitration.
The Daily Telegraph reports: "The parties are so far apart that City are in danger of being the only one of nine clubs facing punishment who choose to fight on beyond Friday's deadline and take their chances with the CFCB's adjudicatory chamber."
No club is expected to be excluded from the Champions League for breaching the spending limits, the maximum possible sanction.
Both Manchester City and PSG are believed to have fallen foul of the FFP rules with sponsorship deals related to each clubs' owners.
Abu Dhabi-owned City have a £40 million-a-year deal with Etihad Airways, while Qatar-owned PSG have a back-dated deal with the Qatar Tourist Authority which is worth up to £165 million a year.
Clubs can lose up to £37million over the last two years under UEFA's rules.
City made losses of £97.9million in 2012 and £51.6million last year, but were able to write off some sums spent on facilities, youth development and a number of other items.

In light of the destruction and other difficulties experienced around the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina, "all the counties are relooking at what they're going to do" in the event of a disaster in Missouri, according to Martin Priggel, Scott County's presiding commissioner.
Following welcoming remarks and a brief history of Commerce by County Developer Joel Evans, Priggel presented an overview of the transportation project which will connect Scott City with Rural Route AB/Nash Road by extending the outer road along the east side of Interstate 55 south and building a bridge over Ramsey Creek.
The primary reason for the project is to relieve traffic congestion in Scott City at the Interstate 55/Highway 61 interchanges as improvements there are not feasible due to railroad tracks and a school.
Priggel said the project is important for the county because the area between Sikeston and Cape Girardeau will be a good place for housing once it is more accessible.
"It will give room for the county to grow," Priggel said. "It will open up that whole area."
In addition to addressing traffic concerns, the project may provide the only route north able to survive a major earthquake as the new bridge will be built to withstand seismic activity unlike existing bridges in the area.
Commissioner Jamie Burger then discussed the merger of the county's E-911 call center with the Sheriff's Department dispatching to establish the Scott County Communication Center at the Scott County Jail.
"It's something we've wanted to do for a long time," he said.
Burger said the communication center will eliminate the duplication of services. Additionally, as the jail was built to withstand seismic activity, it has a better chance of surviving an earthquake intact than the old call center at Morley, he said. The jail is also equipped with generators in the event of a power loss.
Priggel said his sister lives in Bay St. Louis and that he has experienced first-
hand how communication "really comes into big play" in a large-scale disaster.
Steve Duke, executive director for the Bootheel Regional Planning and Economic Development Commission at Malden, advised the Office of Homeland Security in Jefferson City is working with regional planning commissions around the state to organize regional planning for emergencies with a focus on communications.
The county is also taking other measures to prepare for a disaster.
"We're going to start compiling a list of resources we have throughout the county," Burger said. He said this is important because "it takes FEMA a couple of days to activate ... and with an earthquake, we'll have no warning. ... We know we're going to be on our own for two or three days."
Burger said the list will be shared with city officials in the county and will be continuously updated.
Sikeston Mayor Mike Marshall said the city of Sikeston is also compiling a list of resources and has meetings planned with area utility companies, the phone company and the hospital.
Doug Friend, Sikeston's city manager, said the meetings will be held in November, December and January at the Clinton Building and will be followed by a tabletop exercise sometime in April or May during which officials will roleplay their way through an earthquake scenario.
Marshall said that, unlike a hurricane that comes and goes in a few days, an earthquake emergency could last much longer with aftershocks occurring for months after the initial quake.
Steve Borgsmiller, superintendent for Sikeston schools, reported that older school buildings have seismic retrofits and new buildings will be built with the new seismic engineering, but if an earthquake hits "it's going to be a challenge for everybody involved."
Evans discussed Community Emergency Response Team training which has been funded in the county with a $4,000 Homeland Security grant.
Following a major disaster in this area such as an earthquake, "it's going to be 72 hours before professional responders can reach anyone," Evans said. "CERT training helps citizens to bridge that gap as responders become quickly overwhelmed."
The meeting wrapped up with a roundtable discussion in which officials discussed current events at their municipalities or schools.

CORRECTING and REPLACING Paltalk Files Patent Infringement Suit Against Microsoft
The corrected release reads:
"We have been creating cutting edge services for the entire history of our company"
Paltalk, the company that services the largest online video chat community on the internet, announced today that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. According to Paltalk's complaint, Microsoft infringes several Paltalk patents concerning group messaging systems. Paltalk seeks damages and a permanent injunction prohibiting Microsoft's continued infringement.
The Paltalk patents asserted against Microsoft protect innovations concerning systems and techniques for implementing messaging and communications with groups of users, such as groups of players of online games. Paltalk's complaint claims infringement of U.S. Patents No. 5,822,523 and No. 6,226,686. Paltalk seeks damages and a permanent injunction against Microsoft's alleged unauthorized use of Paltalk's patented technology. The complaint outlines that Paltalk's technology covers a number of aspects of online communications, including gaming communications through a group message server to maintain a consistent environment for all players, as well as establishing groups for online game play.

|Placed Date
|May 6 2007
|La Crescent, MN
|Found By
|The Britcon Pride
|Last Found
|Jun 21 2008
|Hike Distance
Time: 45 60 minutes
Terrain: Long very steep hill
When it comes to a nice crisp apple, nobody is as game as me. But sometimes you have to travel a bit to find a good apple. Such was my case, but the need was important enough to land me in the right spot. Here I was in tnecsercaL, the Apple Capitol of atosenniM. Where would a letterboxer look for the kind of apple he craves?
Ah yes, lets take a drive down First Street to its very end at a bluff. To my left I see a street sign for Stoney Point Road and to my right (assuming you parked your vehicle the same as me), a sign indicated that this is a MN Land Trust project.
The search for the Honeycrisp Apple begins by taking the wood chip path at the side of the road and grabbing the very first left you see (lots of roads to Rome here). Walk for a small ways and take the next right. Theres a hill in front of you (better get used to this). Head for that and ignore any more side trails. As you ascend dont forget to note the apple orchard way off on the right. When we were there, the blossoms were beautiful.
At the top of the ascent you have a choice. Head left up another incline (get very used to this). You will reach a clearing with some small little shelters and a picnic bench. Pass by the bench (take a moment and enjoy the view of the town) and the little buildings and watch for a Y decision. Head to the right.
In a little while you should understand why I told you to get used to going up. For up, up, up you will go. This work (and it is work!) continues for quite some time. But eventually you will reach two stumps located on opposite sides of this ski jump ..whoops!.....trail. The stumps looked to be eight feet apart and are angled away from each other. Looking on the right, you should see a jumble of logs behind the first stump. Go to the first log you see and check out the back end. Apples galore.
Leave your mark and head back down the trail to the Y. Take the other tine of the fork. You will reach another fork. Either choice works to reach your automobile. Dont forget to note the black squirrels. Too cool! Bet they eat apples too!
We don't live near by, so updates are appreciated.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks have seen it before, and it wasn't any easier Tuesday night to watch teammate Marian Hossa down on the ice motionless again.
A blow to the back of Hossa's head by the Vancouver Canucks' Jannik Hansen early in the third period was the cause, and Chicago now must hope Hossa doesn't have a recurrence of the concussion symptoms that stemmed from a hit by Raffi Torres that knocked him out of a Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Phoenix Coyotes last spring.
After scoring a pair of goals in the second period, Hossa was dropped to the ice 1:10 into the third when he and Hansen collided while competing for a puck in the air.
Hossa was face down on the ice for a few minutes before heading to the locker room. He didn't return to the game.
Following the injury from the Torres hit, Hossa wasn't cleared to return to action until early December, and was off to a strong start to the season, scoring eight goals and adding six assists.
Hansen was assessed a two-minute minor for roughing on the play.
Hossa was named the game's No. 1 star.

Frozen pizzas of the past had an unsavory reputation as tasteless, cardboard-textured items purchased mostly in the winter months as a cheap alternative to eating at a pizza parlor. However, this previously sub-par category has made tremendous strides in the past few years, with the advent of self-rising crusts, a seemingly endless choice of topping combinations and an overall improvement in quality that has induced consumers to purchase frozen pizza year-round. As this category continues ...

Last month alone, 151,171 individuals across the nation filed for unemployment after being laid off from their jobs. And that number was down from June.
This is certainly not good news for recent college graduates, as many have already learned firsthand that good jobs are hard to find.
A story on today's front page illustrates the problem that just two recent graduates have faced: There are more people competing for fewer jobs.

According to a KSP press release, Forcht Bank in Campbellsville has received out-of-state calls from people attempting to verify a Publisher's Clearing House check. The checks have Forcht Bank's routing number, but bank officials say the checks are not valid.

Board has choice to make

Village may abandon Parks Committee
April 28, 2011
Walworth — The village is playing with an idea that would eliminate the Parks Committee. A proposal discussed at the April board meeting would send the responsibilities of maintaining and improving the parks to the Public Work's Committee. A parks subcommittee would make recommendations to the Public Works committee. Trustee Eddie Snyder, who chairs the Parks Committee, said the Public Works Department is already in charge of maintaining the baseball fields and parks, which is why it would absorb the responsibility.

Village looks at developing Headquarters
January 20, 2011
Fontana — For many years the building on the corner of Fontana Boulevard and Highway 67 was a place where people had their hair cut and styled. In September 2007, Headquarters, 138 Fontana Blvd., closed its doors. About a year later, the village purchased the building and the adjacent vacant lot for $350,000 with plans to redevelop it in the future. Now the village is working with Brian Pollard, the president of Fairwyn Development Corporation, to develop the site and return it to the tax roll.

Those layoffs will be final as of June 30.In addition, two support personnel at the high school will be laid off and one retiring teacher will not be replaced.

Managing the Telco Machines
It's now a commonplace to view data as the way forward for the telco industry, but there will have to be fresh spending.
As Jonathan Dharmapalan, Global Deputy Head of Telecoms at Ernst & Young, noted to Dow Jones Investment Banker, it will require companies to make a new round of investment if they are to capitalize on the data explosion.
"This new opportunity is important, because the game of buying and reselling content is pretty much over. There was only room in the market for a few players and telcos missed the boat."
It's generally recognized that data will bring its own set of challenges, because users will require more flexible sets of service packages.
"Telcos will need a new set of billing systems in order to sell services which are more customized to the user. They are still using per-minute billing systems for voice, which are redundant. However, now for example, a user may want a package which allows four devices attached to the net, maybe on different platforms, which comes with some movies and music."
Moving on to a more contentious issue involving the net neutrality debate, Dharmapalan is of the view that "uploads and downloads of different material could be charged in different ways, which could be accomplished via deep-packet inspection. This will enable telcos to get away from all-you-can eat data pricing, as they will know what traffic they are really carrying."
Meanwhile, echoing comments made recently to DJIB by Mikhail Shamolin of MTS, Dharmapalan said:
"The whole area of machine-to-machine is unexplored. While there will be additional data traffic from super-thin clients such as the Amazon Kindle or home devices, there is a bigger opportunity for telcos to create value-add by managing and integrating these machines.
"Already, we now see people working frantically on multiple devices trying to bring them together, when that should be the job of the network."
Noting the developments in fixed network regulation in Asia, Dharmapalan said that new broadband networks "will require capital investment with longer payback times than private companies are used to. This has been recognized by the governments such as Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. There is a clear recognition that the infrastructure needs to be much bigger than before–massive upgrades in capacity will be a must."
As a result of the developments in fiber builds and the data wave, Dharmapalan is of the view that the industry will need to move into a new investment cycle.
"I don't understand the low capex guidance we get from operators. Capex has to go up–the industry has had a nice ride for 10 years. There are only so much opex cuts a company can make."

One night as an escort leads Alison into a spiral of sexual depravity that awakens the whore within.
My heart was pounding in a symphonic surge as I lingered in front of the hotel room door. I checked and rechecked the metal plate bolted to the rich, dark oak. Number 2412. Yes, this was definitely the right room. The hallway corridor was empty. The dimly lit sconces glowed invitingly along the richly textured walls. They had led the way from the elevator of the lushly swank boutique hotel,...Read On

bachelorette party turns sexy
A few days before I married my husband, I cheated on him. There, I've said it. Only a few people knew, and he never knew. So, here is that story.... I was fairly introverted at the time and usually had been faithful to the guy I was dating at the time. I didn't expect anything wild to happen the night of my party. A few girl friends, and one very gay guy friend, took me out for drinks and...Read On

My sister-in-law decided to join us on our trip and so my wife asked if me if she could stay with me at the hotel and fly with me the next day. Of course my wife joked with me a bit: "Is she going to stay in...Read On

A swinger's club ended up being something different than I had originally thought.
This happened a few summers ago. I had shared my wife on two different occasions before trying a swingers club. I had thought it would be a perfect next step up from sharing my wife. My wife and I were in our mid forties and I wanted to try something different. I had seen an internet add promoting a swingers club about an hour from where we lived. I talked to the president of the club and...Read On

A story of a taboo seduction
It had been five years since my wife died. I was stuck in a rut. It was as if my life had stalled the day Gina passed away. I was as emotionally healed as I would ever be, yet I lacked the will to go out and start anew. I worked, I came home. I slept, and then I headed back to work again the very next day. My life became a cycle. Rinse and repeat, ad infinitum. Maybe that's why I...Read On

All over the globe, people celebrated President Obama's victory in the U.S. elections on Nov. 6, 2012.
James: People could not see just how sick Anthony Weiner was when he lost his Seat and lifetime Job in congress. Weiner displayed just how sick he was running for Mayor and he could like John Liu been mayor both like most New Yorker these guys have problems One with Blanketing Money and one with destructive Sexual behavior. I met Weiner and he was about 48 when he was running for Mayor , he looked like he never left the Gym training 4 to 5 Hours a Day, what a Job. But he also looked like he had the World on his Shoulders and definitely he should like any other federal employee been granted a Leave for psychiatric Reason. it is now when he could face criminal charges he misses years of help for his Visual Sexual problems which and destroyed a life most of us could of dreamed of. The Headlines in the New York Post, do nothing but Point out a sick Man in denial and the Laws in the City and NY State can not force him to get treatment, I believe his wife told him to get psychiatric help and he told her no. Now he has No Job, Wife, Family, or Son and is probably sleeping on his brothers couch. People do not take depression and Anxiety seriously to it destroys lives. Now many of those young beautiful woman are waiting for a Sick Delusional Man to help them save himself from Himself. Thank God his brother ,Mother, and Father have plenty of Money, or else he would be cooked.

Thanks for the update. I am thinking of and praying for you all every day. When my mom needed blood transfusions (GI bleed) she would get very exhausted. They said the oxygen doesn't reach the organs as well when her count is low. I know just needing blood is hard on a family, and you all deal so well with so much. I'll continue to pray for continued time at home, and if you get transfused, that it is a quick trip, then back home! God Bless you all.

Last week, in an attempt to raise campaign cash, John McCain put his balls up for sale...and was met with derision. No, this event didn't occur at one of McCain's stooge-infested Town Hall Meetings but, rather, on his train-wreck of a web site - you know, the one that initially had such designated areas as "Creating Jobs," "Strategy," "Decision Center" and "Golf."
Last week, in an attempt to raise campaign cash, John McCain put his balls up for sale...and was met with derision. No, this event didn't occur at one of McCain's stooge-infested Town Hall Meetings but, rather, on his train-wreck of a web site - you know, the one that initially had such designated areas as "Creating Jobs," "Strategy," "Decision Center" and "Golf."
The balls in question were golf balls, packaged in a $50 sack, and deemed the perfect gift for Father's Day - although the actual package wouldn't arrive until late July. (What a maverick move!) Satisfied customers were invited to post their opinions of McCain's balls. And thus, the floodgates were opened for well-deserved snark, replete with creative double entendres and spelling.
Lobbyist Buddy from Washington D.C. wrote: "The Golf Pack is Great, but when are you going to offer a Joe Lieberman Certified McCain Ballwasher?"
"IRAQ FOREVER!!!" gushed reviewer Mitt Romney from Boston, MA. "I thought that I would give this McBush golf set to Dad for Father's Day as a way to commemorate his leaving Mom for the younger, blonder, much richer woman!!"
Walter San Miguel from Miami Lakes, FL stated: "NOT JUST FOR GOLF. This is just the thing for strolling around the Baghdad Market with 100 soldiers; 2 Blackhawks; and 3 Apache gunships, and then tell us that Baghdad is safe!!!!!"
Jack Abramoff from Washington, DC, enthused: "Yep, good ol' Chinese Quality! Just like we used to make in 'Merica."
Patrick Bryan from Bluefield, GA. was slightly put off. "These balls have 30 years of experience...I thought I was paying for new ones."
Amazingly enough, nobody at the McCain site took note of the deluge of phony comments. So, they continued.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
John McJohn from Boulder raved that McCain's sack was "Not just for picking divots." He recounted, "There we were on the 17 th green when a bedbug-ridden terrorist leaped from the hole screaming godless gibberish. My pitiful peace-loving liberal partners grabbed their balls and ran, leaving me alone with only my John McCain equipment for defense. I slung my ball bag at his head and leaping atop the mangy rascal jammed my stiff club down his throat, finally finishing him off by jerking my McCain brand divot picker up his misshapen nose. Thank you, John McCain for giving me the courage to fight!"
After nearly a day of perverse postings, news of this comic event began circulating on the Internet, with sites linking to the laugh fest. More comments came in from anonymous merry pranksters.
"I was disappointed," ventured LAW from USA. "When I think 'McCain,' I think 'old balls and loose skin.' These balls were pretty much straight out of the factory, and there was no loose skin at all. What a bunch of bull."
"I LOVE it," typed Gramps from Florida. "I love this kit. I appreciate the compartment for my soiled Depends (TM)."
A full day passed. Still, nobody at McCain's site noticed the snark tsunami. So, it continued.
Under the heading "Consolation prize," Carol Shepp McCain from Virginia Beach, VA, opined, "I got mangled in a car accident and got dumped for a younger richer woman and all I got was this stupid golf gear. Sheesh!"
Grand Ol' Duffer from Fartsville, OH, wrote, "Great for throwing at kids to GET OFF MY LAWN YOU LITTLE JERKS!"
Gny. Sgt. Hartman from Paris Island, SC, noted, "Perfect for sand traps. Great gift for your friends and loved ones in the military that are trapped in the sand for the next 100 years."
LVA Forkush from Sherman Oaks, CA was philosophical. "My friend George says these balls will last 50 years, but then I heard that Senator McCain said, 'Make it one hundred.' I'm going to invest my children's future with John McCain's balls!"
Rush L. from Millwood, WA enthused: "I love these balls! Although, to be perfectly fair, I enjoy darker colored balls from the Dominican more."
Jesus H. Crist from Lime jello cottage cheese background was non-committal. "Adequate replacements for the balls I was required to leave behind last time I visited Bob Jones University."
"I can't believe what John McCain is packing!" gushed Richard C. Mongler from Virginia Beach, VA, before launching into a detailed rave.
"These balls are fantastic. I tell you, I've tried many balls, but these are by far the best. Entirely white, rolling John McCain's balls around in my hands is a pure pleasure. I can feel each individual dimple, and they're so adorable up close, the way I like to examine balls to ensure the highest quality.
"The downside is that these golf balls almost feel like they've been painted over something that was once pasty white and older than one might think. If I press hard enough I think I can feel some scars, but then again it's never a good idea to press too hard on one's balls. Nevertheless, it might be why these balls tend to get stuck in quagmires or sand.
"If you've got George W. Bush's golf pack, you'll probably like this one. Their balls look almost exactly alike when they're sitting right next to each other and they perform in the same fashion. I know I have my own personal balls that have always worked for me, but I think I could spend hours playing with John McCain's!"
After nearly two days and nine pages of snark, someone at the McCain site must have noticed that there were a lot of satisfied customers raving about McCain's balls but not many consumers actually gobbling them up. Someone then must have read the comments. They all were yanked off pronto. The site also eliminated the prospect of any further raves by dismantling that option. McCain's balls, however, remained for sale.
So, with McCain's site now devoid of unintentional humor, we must look to McCain himself for comic relief. After two weeks of warning about the perils of global warming, for instance, he's called for the federal moratorium on offshore drilling and oil exploration to be lifted.
After being criticized for his endorsement of the privatization of Social Security, McCain insisted that he wasn't for privatization. He was for personal accounts.
His tax plan, hailed by his supporters as a way to boost the economy and help the working class, was deemed by The Tax Policy Center to be even more "regressive" than George Bush's.
News recently leaked out that one of the folks being mulled as a possible McCain running mate, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, had actually taken part in an exorcism. Ah, the devil's in the details.
McCain released a cheek-to-jowl photo of himself and Joe Lieberman under the banner "The McCain Team" at the same time Joe declared himself the head of "Citizens for McCain." Joe is doing this as a private citizen, not a politician, mind you. Or a suck-up who would love to be Veep.
McCain's first Town Hall Meeting, televised by Fox and touted as being a gathering of Republicans, Democrats and Independents, was actually filled with McCain boosters.
After the Supreme Court ruled that Guantanamo detainees have legal rights McCain, within the span of 24 hours, went from saying "...it is a decision the Supreme Court has made. Now we need to move forward. As you know, I always favored closing of Guantanamo Bay and I still think we ought to do that," to "The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of the country." I wonder if his web site sells flip-flops?
After Barack Obama took a pass on McCain's proposal for ten Town Hall-style debates, a McCain spokesman sniffed, "Barack Obama requires more preconditions to meet with voters and John McCain than he does Mahmoud Ahmadinejad." It should be noted that McCain didn't utter this himself. He still refers to Ahmadinejad as "that guy."
McCain, trying to shove the old Obama "bitter" pill down the public's throats, said that he didn't agree with Obama saying that small town folks "cling to their religion and the Constitution because they're bitter." They bitterly cling to the Constitution? That would befuddle any Republican. They tossed that rag years ago.
Cindy McCain, who first put the McCain web site on the map with plagiarized recipes from the Food Network, just submitted "Cindy McCain's Oatmeal-Butterscotch Cookies" recipe to "Family Circle" magazine. According to HuffPo, it's a direct steal from a recipe on the Hershey's chocolate site.
Explaining why Osama bin Laden hasn't been caught in the mountains of Pakistan, McCain succinctly chalked it up to geography and history. "The next time you can go on the Internet and you can look at the countryside and there is a reason why it hasn't been governed since Alexander the Great. They are ruled by about, as my understanding, 13 tribal entities and nobody has ever governed them." He stopped himself before going into how the whole Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer casting ruined the movie for him.
In a nationally televised interview, McCain noted that the date of American forces returning from Iraq wasn't "too important." He later said his comment was taken out of context.
During the same interview, when McCain touted the infamous Surge as working, Matt Lauer asked, "If it's now working, Senator, do you now have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?"
"No," answered McCain.
Apparently, McCain is ready to run the country as effectively as he runs his web site. So, visit his site soon, folks and snap up those gift packages pronto...before McCain's balls are totally a thing of the past.
