Easily solved. Don't watch Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, and don't listen to NJ 101.5 You'll be much happier afterwards. I'm very serious about that.

It's true.

In all seriousness, I try not to be...but it's getting to be more and more difficult. :(

Indeed. How does a 'stay in school, work hard' speech get twisted into a speech about socialist indoctrination? :confused:

I have so many Chase accounts now ..... sigh! It's difficult keeping them straight.

That's my fear -- have yet to take advantage of those promos! You don't want to close any of the other accounts?

I'm just ahead of you there!;)

Both sides are guilty there. Obama (and 99% of career politicians in general) can't, IMO, be trusted day-to-day to espouse the same position based on the crowd he (or they) is/are in front of, and the opposition are trying to attack him and doing a horrible job of it.

Stop that! Milestone posts are won fair and square by he or she who clicks at the correct time. Good for you. ^^ :D:D (See that? Optimism.)

The choice is yours. You can yell at the radio looking like a nutter to anyone passing by or be content and blissful.

I'm ready to be back on a plane. :-:

Yelling by anyone about political matters is never a good sign.

Meh. Obama showed good faith to release the transcript prior to the speech, but that didn't stop the opposition from :mad:ing off at the handle. I'm simply slack jawed at the amount of opposition this has generated. :-: Anthill, meet mountain.

I better stop before I get banished to :rolleyes:MNI/PR.

I'll be on a mix of CO and US (FLL-PDX this weekend). Got my 5-Day EUA on IAH-FLL. ^

I know. I am up to 5, but I think I can drop 2 now.

We're about to buy a netbook at home in the near future to travel with for personal trips. Unfortunately a netbook won't do me much good for most of my work.

I was able to conduct a very good variety of non-resource-intensive activities on my netbook.

Sadly, I'm already triple-booked for that weekend (Keeneland / Woodford Reserve DO, PBI-FLL DO, and first day of my new classes).

No doubt. For the last few years, I've felt dirty that he quoted me in one of his old US News articles.

I'll need to visit the bank tomorrow.

Considering I was using a VDB voucher (taking myself off a CR2 to fly a real plane), it was nice to get on a plane (even a CR2 for 861 miles) to meet most of you all.

Me too. Especially as my next trip (18 Sept) is to AUA on real aircraft and in F.

I find myself maybe not yelling but certainly exhorting in a loud positive manner.

Preach on!

BNA-BHM will be a nice short hop for icurhere2 should he wish to join the BHM Golf Do (whenever we end up getting it scheduled...) and he is available. Also, FTE got back to me. They applauded my persistence and told me that I'll have something by the end of the week.
