NASCAR-Rummy, yeppers a pretty damn good match when you throw in some cold long-neck Buds. Collective IQ=71. Mix in a few Harley riders and the IQ goes to 77.
Yer really gonna hate this part, Dys
Them there beer-drinking, bible-thumping, Nascar-loving people have a prayer/invocation before each race starts. Gasp! Ooooooh...the nerve!
<Can feel the loony libs seething all the way over here LOL>
and well they should for I see no other possiblity of their salvation without petitioning their lord for forgiveness for they know not what they do. Place a pinch between cheek and gum and spit when necessary. Praise the lord.
These guys drive over 200mph on an oval course, and pray for god to protect them from harm. The irony of it all!
I expect to see Hillary at a Nascar event any day now
Heck....she'll probably lead the opening prayer!
That'll be fun.
We should have a Hill transformation thread, wherein we record her morph.
Think she'll get implants? A vat of botox?

We can easily revive it. Be sure to read the opening piece in the thread. It's hilarious. Another of my favorite posts from that thread:

The Declaration of Independence
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. . . .
. . . We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
HAPPY 4TH, Y'ALL!!!!!!!!
Happy 4th JW! And everybody!

On the other hand, the SC most certainly did rule according to the electorate's wishes when it came to the Schiavo case. Any all too conservative new appointment who might tip the balance the other way a next time surely would not go down well with said Electorate.
Interesting poll out on this count. Apparently, people are expecting Bush to appoint a new Supreme Justice that will make the SC further
out of step, not more in step, with their beliefs:
Its a Survey USA poll, in case you're wondering.
Quote:In general, is the United States Supreme Court in-step with your beliefs, out-of-step with your beliefs, do you not know enough about the court to have an opinion?
In step 27%
Out of step 53%
Don't know 20%
President Bush will now nominate someone to replace Justice O'Connor. Do you think Bush's appointment will cause the Supreme Court to be more in step with your beliefs, more out of step with your beliefs, or will Bush's appointment not change things?
More in step 34%
More out of step 46%
Will not change things 17%
Not sure 2%

nimh, I'm not sure when that poll was taken, but it pretty much reflects what Americans think about Bush's political error in bringing the Schiavo case to the SC.

SEN. SCHUMER CAUGHT ON CELLPHONE: 'WE ARE GOING TO WAR' OVER SUPREME COURT
**Exclusive**
Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Schumer got busy plotting away on the cellphone aboard a Washington, DC-New York Amtrak -- plotting Democrat strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court battle.
Schumer promised a fight over whoever the President's nominee was: "It's not about an individual judgeÂ… It's about how it affects the overall makeup of the court."
The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was overheard on a long cellphone conversation with an unknown political ally, and the DRUDGE REPORT was there!
Schumer proudly declared: "We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this."
Schumer went on to say how hard it was to predict how a Supreme Court justice would turn out: "Even William Rehnquist is more moderate than they expected. The only ones that resulted how they predicted were [Antonin] Scalia and [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg. So most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again."
Schumer later went on to mock the "Gang of 14" judicial filibuster deal and said it wasn't relevant in the Supreme Court debate.
"A Priscilla Owen or Janice Rogers Brown style appointment may not have been extraordinary to the appellate court but may be extraordinary to the Supreme Court."
By the time the train hit New Jersey, Schumer shifted gears and called his friend and "Gang of 14" member, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
The two talked in a very friendly manner about doing an event sometime this week together.

Bush Falls Off Bike in Scotland
The Associated Press
Wednesday, July 6, 2005; 5:06 PM
GLENEAGLES, Scotland -- President Bush collided with a local police officer and fell during a bike ride on the grounds of the Gleneagles golf resort while attending a meeting of world leaders Wednesday.
Bush suffered "mild to moderate" scrapes on his hands and arms that required bandages by the White House physician, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. The accident occurred on asphalt, McClellan said, but Bush was wearing a helmet at the time.
The police officer was taken to a local hospital as a precaution, McClellan said. Police said the officer suffered a "very minor" ankle injury.
It was raining lightly at the time.
The officer was on a security detail. He is a member of the police department of Strathclyde, a nearby town, McClellan said.
The president was concerned about the officer's condition, and talked with him for some time after the collision, McClellan said. The president also asked White House physician Richard Tubb to monitor the officer's condition at the hospital.
The presidential bike suffered some damage, McClellan said, so Bush rode back to the hotel in a Secret Service vehicle.
The fall did not affect the president's schedule. Dressed in a tuxedo, he attended a dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth at the annual Group of Eight economic summit. He showed no signs of distress.
