Well….what’s the name of the room yo?? # what?? And do I need to type in a specific connection?? Seems like I remember it being dalnet something or other??
What kind of program do I need to download in order to chat?? I get nothing but an "empty box", obviously not the chat room.
Can I connect through mIRC??
I believe the report is for real, and that "Afghanistan" is going to offer him up to try to save their skin. I believe that may have been planned from the beginning…..Bin Laden’s own suicide mission if you will. There are also reports that Iraq has been the major financial backer of the operation. Personally, I hope that when Bin Laden is handed over, we then tell Afghanistan and Iraq (provided we know that they were behind Bin Laden) that they have 24 hours to evacuate citizens from major locations…..then retaliate in a way just short of utilizing nuclear weapons.
I truly don’t believe that many folks realize the devastation and trauma that’s been afflicted. I know I hadn’t until I started hearing stories of survivors and recounts of phone conversations. Can you imagine your husband, wife, son, daughter, father or mother calling to say, "we’re going to die….take care of _________. I love you. Bye." Chilling.
Mattman….I know many people are wondering why the WTC planes didn’t have passengers that attempted to thwart the hijacking, but I firmly believe that those people were led to believe that they were in no imminent danger. The folks on the PA plane that called relatives knew about the WTC planes. The folks on the WTC planes knew nothing. The only solace that can be taken is that the ending was probably very quick. The same can’t be said about the people inside the WTC.
There was a firefighter on FOX’s Bill O’ Rielley that stated he was in Vietnam for four years, ground troops, and it didn’t hold a candle to what he’d seen the last two days. That folks, is devestation.
I, personally, think that Bush has handled himself extremely well during this time, and i’m very encouraged by the upper brass in his administration (let me qualify that statement by saying i’m very politically conservative, having voted for Harry Brown for President, but very am very pleased with Bush even though I think he’s compromised to much re: spending). I appreciate that he’s not constantly on the TV trying to show the world how this is affecting him personally, or trying to be national psychologist. His main assett is his ability to work with people who aren’t ideologically similar…and the acts of solidarity between the two parties these past couple of days has, to me, been encouraging. Even i’m not so cynical I believe it’s all for show. GWB, I believe, will take very precise steps, and not fly off the handle in some "texas cowboy" mentallity as so many people seem to think he’ll do. Make no mistake, he’s not the stupid, babbling idiot that his adversaries make him out to be. I’ve got full confidence in him, General Powell, Condelezza Rice, Dick Cheney and Sec. Rumsfeld.
We, as a nation, will be stronger for this….i’m very encouraged by how our great citizens have reacted to this tragedy. No looting. No capitalizing on the chaos. The outpouring of support from all over the globe and the refusal of the American people to back down or live in fear.
Wow….what a ramble. And I haven’t even had my mornin’ cup a joe.

As much as I respect Fresno St…..they would have no chance of going 11-0 should they be in any other conference….
The WAC is….well….wack.
In other news….MY OSU actually found a way to win this weekend. Yes, it was against LaTech…but hey, a win is a win. The BigXII, she’s a motha…..
Well Mattman, your school could have made my summer a hell of a lot better by pounding the Squats into the ground last January….but alas…..

The Point SoundtrackI traveled 1600 miles to sit in 99% humidity in Hattiesburg, MS to watch Oklahoma State’s first game. Sadly they lost 17-9, but were much improved from last year. Hopefully my Pokes will be bowl bound, if even for Shreveport. OU sucks. Well, actually, they very well may win the BigXII South again….probably playing Nebraska in the Championship. Crouch won’t make the jump to the NFL, b/c he doesn’t have the body to play DB (which most option QB’s play IF they can make the jump to the NFL), but he very well may lead his team to the NC. By the way, if Texas ever gets a coaching staff that knows their asses from their elbows, they will be VERY dangerous. The pure talent on that team is absolutely scary. The money they have to put toward that program is even scarier.
The Florida teams look to be pretty damn good again, which is too damn bad ’cause I hate them all. If NU makes it to the Rose Bowl, I can definately see them playing Miami, but best of all time??
I pull for the Oregon teams b/c of their liberal weed laws. OU wears GREEEEEEN for goodness sake. I think the "other" OSU (Oregon State) wins the in state match up this year.
I didn’t get to see any games last week b/c I drove to Dallas from Mississippi immediately after the game, but at dinner I did see highlights of the kid from Penn State leading his team out of the tunnel just before they got their ass handed to them by Miami. It was quite the touching moment.
I’m so damn glad fall is here…..GO STATE!!!!
Onions rock, but you have to know how to use them tastefully. A pie load of raw onions is not what i’d call tastefull. Now, 40 cloves of garlic lying directely under the cheese IS what i’d call tastefull. Mmmmmmm…..Mario’s.
Lyle Lovett covered several TVZ tunes on "Step Inside This House," a double album of covers. I missed out on Townes while he was still alive, and folks like LL and Steve Earle have done quite a bit in bringing people to TVZ. Didn’t he write "Techumpsa Valley" (sp)??
