The staff at Dummocrats has been busy moving, escaping the heat and just enjoying the summer. But, we still have an eye on the news and, at least for me, I have a few questions for y'all:
1. How hot is hotter than hell? 100? 110? What? And please, no answers in Celcius.
2. Do any women actually like Pink Floyd or do you just say you like Pink Floyd in order to impress men? Be honest.
3. If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American?
4. The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? If so, please explain.
5. Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban?
6. You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be?
7. What fictional character would make the best next President?
8. The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through?
9. Would you be horrified or secretly delighted to have a hurricane named after you?
10. Are you ready for some football?

Yes Question for you..did you move? |
| # July 17th, 2006 8:30 AM kris |

My answers: 1. Hell is 98 degrees. 2. No, no women like Pink Floyd. We all know that. 3. Kinda 4. NEXT! 5. Tapered leg jeans 6. the 17th Amendment 7.

| 1. 91 degrees is the traditional answer, but in Kansas, 97.
2. Pink Floyd has one great album, Dark side of the Moon, you can keep the rest. 3. No. 4. No. 5. Ties. 6. XVI 7. Dr. McCoy- Star Trek. 8. Illinois is Ugliest. Lots of states are pretty. 9. It would have to be some kick ass hurricane. 10. Not really. |
| # July 17th, 2006 8:57 AM kris |
| Dr. McCoy, really? I think he's a touch hysterical. I would consider Jean Luc Picard. |
| # July 17th, 2006 9:03 AM BVBigBro |
| McCoy's a doctor, he's learned. On the other hand he's pragmatic, never letting theory get in the way of reality. Spock's too logical, Kirk too much of a hot head. Picard lives in a fantasy world where some sweet talk will get you anything. |
| # July 17th, 2006 9:05 AM kris |
| Picard's not afraid of action. He's no Kirk, but he's not a wimp either.
Should we consider KHAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!! ?? |

| 1. How hot is hotter than hell? 100? 110? What? And please, no answers in Celcius.
it was 100 here one day and actually wasnt that bad - i was at a cookout and there was a real nice breeze. the day after, it was 93 and it sucked. my guess is that hell is humid and has no wind. 3. If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American? yes. 4. The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? If so, please explain. why is this "lefty logic?" it's a fairly accurate statement. in case you're not aware, iraq is a complete mess. we can't leave, and we can't take the next necessary steps of attacking the countries backing the terrorists there. and we can't possibly win if just keep on keepin on. the military is stretched thin. you know those recruitment "targets" that the armed forces keep bragging about hitting? they keep lowering the targets. easy to hit targets if you just set them at your actual result numbers each month. in truth, recruitment is down and people are leaving the armed services in droves. i was recently reading one article on the topic from this guy, (US Colonel), and according to him, the short term estimate on US presence in iraq is another 50 years. in iraq, the US has shown 1) an unwillingness or inability to escalate the war as necessary 2) an inability to get the job done with present resources and 3) an inablility to maintain public support for the war. the countries looking to lead the middle east to victory against the great zionist enemies Israel and US know that now is the time to move. 5. Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban? bras. 6. You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be? 17th. duh. 7. What fictional character would make the best next President? quagmire. giggity giggity giggity, all right. 8. The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through? i've actually driven through most of them. best - montana, idaho, washington. worst - ohio, indiana. 10. Are you ready for some football? i was ready on Feb 6. |

| re #4-I guess my point is that terrorists have targeted Israel for half a century now. I don't think we have anything to do with it. |

| 1. 105 w/ 50 percent humidity is pretty close.
2. No idea. I know none that do. 3. As long as you don't hate baseball. 4. "Lefty" and "Logic" don't really go together. 5. Jorts. 6. Lowering the voting age to 18, only because maybe 1% of the population would even notice (or care). 7. Glenallen Walken from The West Wing 8. Haven't driven through many, but the PCH in SoCal was beautiful, as was whatever highway it was that took us from Ft. Smith, Ark., to Fayetteville. Then again Texas is big enough to qualify in both areas. I can't say as any stretch of road I've been on in Louisiana was the least bit memorable. 9. There was a Hurrican Andrew that ravaged the east coast 10 years ago or so. I really didn't give it much thought. I think it would be annoying, though, to be named Katrina these days. 10. You're damn right I am. And VY may be gone, but until some other team leaves Cardinals Stadium next January with that crystal football, my Longhorns are reigning national champs! |

| 1 - 115F ought to be hot enough to qualify.
2 - Don't know any with a strong opinion in either direction. 3 - Only if you call it football 4 - IMHO Israel is bombing the terrorists becuase they finally got a good reason to do it. The Lefty's are just looking for a reason to blame the US for whatever bad comes of it... 5 - Anything that permits underwear to be outer-wear. 6 - III :) 7 - Dave 8 - Washington State - Prettiest South Dakota - Ugliest 9 - Way cool! 10 - Is the Pope Catholic? |

| 1. 120. I was once in Palm Springs when it was 120; jumped in the pool to cool off. The water was 90 degress--in the shade. Pure hell.
2. Pink Floyd sucks. If you wanna impress me: AC/DC, Manowar, Saxon. 3. Yes. 4. WHHHHAAAAAAAAAA....? "Lefty logic" is an oxymoron that should never be used....ever. Someone might seriously try to figure that out. There are better things in life. 5. Liberals. Forget the clothes. Clothes are fine. It's the liberals that wear them that bother me. 6. The one Warren Court used to cripple our justice system. I know it's just one Amendment, because all that information came from the same place--NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION. 7. Yosemite Sam. DUH! 8. Summer isn't for road-tripping. Fall and early spring are for road-tripping. Summer is for finding your spot on the beach and STAYING THERE! Why would you leave? Oh--all the states look the same from the Interstate, anyway. 9. Depends on how many Black people were left homeless. 10. Slow your roll, beyotch! The Angels are in a pennant race! |

| . How hot is hotter than hell? 104
2. Do any women actually like Pink Floyd or do you just say you like Pink Floyd in order to impress men? Be honest. OF COURSE NO WOMEN LIKE PINK FLOYD. PINK FLOYD ACTUALLY PRODUCES THE SOUNDS OF MACHINES, WHICH IS WHY MEN LIKE THEM. 3. If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American? NO 4. The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? NO. BUT I AM OBJECTING TO YOU LABELING THIS POSITION AS "LEFTY LOGIC." 5. Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban? WIFE-BEATERS. 6. You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be? I'LL ANSWER THAT THE 4TH AMENDMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN UNOFFICIALLY REPEALED THROUGH CASE LAW. 7. What fictional character would make the best next President? DR. KERRY WEAVER FROM ER. A KICK-ASS WOMAN WHO'S WILLING TO MAKE THE TOUGH CHOICES AND IS A GREAT ADMINISTRATOR. 8. The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through? NO STATE IS GOOD TO DRIVE THROUGH. 9. Would you be horrified or secretly delighted to have a hurricane named after you? HORRIFIED. 10. Are you ready for some football? ALWAYS. |

| 1. How hot is hotter than hell? 100? 110? What? And please, no answers in Celcius. However hot it is outside right now
2. Do any women actually like Pink Floyd or do you just say you like Pink Floyd in order to impress men? Be honest. I don't think so. My wife likes Piper at the Gates of Dawn but thats very different than everything else. 3. If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American? Its a rebuttable presumption 4. The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? If so, please explain. What we've done the last few years has no impact on the underlying causes of their thousand year old war 5. Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban? Underwear. In the laternative, we all ought to always be naked. At least when skiing, if for nothing else. 6. You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be? Either the 17th Amendment (direct election of the Senate) or the the 16th Amendment (power to tax). 7. What fictional character would make the best next President? Ignatius J. Reilly 8. The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through? First, lets clarify that by Road Trip you mean a trip along actually roads through actual towns and interacting with actual people and not simply a 6 hour jaunt down the nearest interstate highway stopping only at Exxon and McDonalds rest stops. That said I think it really depends on where you go. The entire journey almost between Cleveland to Toledo to Detroit and then between Chicago and Gary Indiana is probably some of the most god awful viewing in the country. As are parts of Jersey, New York and Delaware and Pennsylvania. But, there are also gorgeous and wonderful places in all those states. While I wouldn't list Jersey or Delaware as good road tripping destinations, neither would I say they were ugly either 9. Would you be horrified or secretly delighted to have a hurricane named after you? One of the worst was named after my wife and its pretty cool (no, not Katrina). 10. Are you ready for some football? Hell Yeah!!!! |

| I haven't posted in probably a year... the working world has done that to me. Harsh, so harsh...
1. (How hot is hotter than hell? 100? 110? What? And please, no answers in Celcius.) It varies, depending on what you're doing, the humidity, etc. Anchored on the lake with a case of beer, hot as hell would probably be-- ohhh, I don't know... 737 degree Kelvin. 2. (Do any women actually like Pink Floyd or do you just say you like Pink Floyd in order to impress men? Be honest.) I'd rather fall asleep, myself. 3. (If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American?) I'd say... Less American. 4. (The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? If so, please explain.) No. 5. (Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban?) Thongs. Disgusting to look at. Especially on fat chicks, 14 year old girls, etc. 6. (You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be?) No comment. 7. (What fictional character would make the best next President?) Walker, Texas Ranger 8. (The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through?) Ugliest: Oklahoma. Prettiest: Virginia 9. (Would you be horrified or secretly delighted to have a hurricane named after you?) Oh, it's suck it all in. 10. (Are you ready for some football?) I'm sure as hell ready for the media to shut up about Ben "no helmet" Roethlisberger... Let's go COLTS!!! |

| 1. How hot is hotter than hell? 100? 110? What? And please, no answers in Celcius.
--- Anything over 99 Fahrenheit in Arkansas. With our humidity, hell is an accurate description of the weather. 2. Do any women actually like Pink Floyd or do you just say you like Pink Floyd in order to impress men? Be honest. --- I'm a guy, but I never liked anything other than the Wall and that was a grudging acceptance of its quality. 3. If you love soccer, doesn't that make you anti-American? --- Of course not. Many of our kids now grow up playing soccer and I suspect we'll eventually get on board with the rest of the world. 4. The new lefty logic is that Israel is bombing Lebanon because the terrorists were embolded because of America's show of weakness in Iraq. Do you agree? If so, please explain. --- Let's see. The world's über-superpower goes into a small country and is exposed (picture Uncle Sam looking distraught and holding the great seal over his privates) as not so super as he is viewed as engaging in a modern-day crusade against islam, whether that perception is correct or not. I think I'd be emboldened were I an islamic terrorist and going against the US ally in the Middle East who's viewed as having stolen Palestine. 5. Some countries require women to wear burkas. Schools restrict "controversial " t-shirts. What article of clothing would you ban? --- None. Banning controversial t-shirts, absent profanity, is silly and a bit foolish. If we're teaching our children about the First Amendment, restricting speech or articles of clothing deemed required by religion is rather foolish. Schools have some authority in that area, but it should be exercised wisely. 6. You are forced to repeal one Amendment from the Constitution. What would it be? --- I'd say the 10th, but it's effectively been dead, for all intents and purposes, for quite a while. I think the 2nd is misused and misunderstood, except by our courts for most of our history, but I'd reword it rather than toss it out. It comes down to three: the 25th because it mixes the executive and legislative branches, the 22nd because it was done primarily as a reaction to Roosevelt and is very un-democratic with a small "d", and the 17th because it made of the Senate something the founders never intended. If I had to pick one, I'd pick the 17th, but it's a tough choice. 7. What fictional character would make the best next President? --- Frodo 8. The road trip is a great American summer tradition. What are the prettiest and ugliest states to drive through? --- Arkansas for prettiest and Ohio, with all due respect to my family there, for ugliest. 9. Would you be horrified or secretly delighted to have a hurricane named after you? --- That would be cool. 10. Are you ready for some football? --- Woo pig sooie! |
