Re: Shoe's Appeal ?
Sounds like it may be closely patterned after Terryism--being a Terryite, I don't give a sh*t who gets elected as long as they do good things for ME! and screw everyone else. That's my story and I'm stickin to it....but Alan, the unicam deal is (sadly) the truth. Gives you kind of an insight into the Nebraska mindset...let's see, let's try this unicameral thing, and if no one else decides it's a good deal and go with it in let's say 140 years or so, let's still think it is the hot setup and stick with it another 100 or so years!

Re: Shoe's Appeal ?
What a derailment of a perfectly good question?
I hope Don wins the appeal given the circumstances as I understand them.
No on to politics. Everything's going to be fixed promptly by a "one term" senator at the helm of the most powerful nation on the planet. Mark my word because he says "change" often and his name isn't Bush (which equates to Satan for most Americans.) Given his experience, I suspect he will have this Nitro appeal covered in no time as well.

Hey, I ride elephants too.... ;-) Getting ready to set up deliveries for the DNC here in town later this month....! Putting little Elephant stickers on every box that comes into town... YOU KNOW, to audit the package that it has all the appropriate scans on it... 
Of course, I see Pink Elephants all the time too...

Timmah!
Oh and PS:
I think the NITROGATE deal w/ the Don is a Dead issue! Kinda got swept under the carpet. But, you will NEVER see a public apology from NHRA on the deal.... That would require.... uh... THOUGHT?

Non-linear thinking again on my part... I totally understood that... as far as appeal... maybe Glendora needs me in the front office, I don't think outside the box, I don't even know if there is a box or where the box may or may not be.
I wonder where Glendora got two containers of Nitro, S.L.... did I think that out loud? Can't fine The Don, for something they are going to do themselves.. or can they....
But then, the only box I care about right now is the Nitro engine self destruct box that kicks in at 1100 feet or 8200 rpm, which ever comes first...

Well, Bobby, I don't discuss politics with you very often because even though I disagree heartily with some of Mr. Bush's views and stands, I don't feel the need to continually belittle him for some of his actions or consistently refer to him in snide, perjorative jabs as you seem to need to do to Mr. Obama. I find it interesting that you profess to always take the "high road" yet choose to villify a candidate based on what you believe he will or will not be able to do in the future.
As I was just telling a conservative friend of mine yesterday, I believe whomever is elected to the presidency in this election, he will be a one term president for the very reasons you outlined in your post. Be he Rep or Dem, he will be expected to solve all the ills present in our country immediately, and that is just not gonna happen, thus that particular presidency will forever be viewed as a dismal, one term failure.
You have mentioned several times that you believe the economy is in very good shape and there is no recession because your business is not only prospering but growing. I obviously don't question that, and if I was in a situation where my economic situation was improving rather than deteriorating daily, I certainly would not be upset with the economic situation either. But take it from me, there are many, many of us that are seeing an increasingly dismal economic situation for us ahead.
Ok, I'll put away the soapbox for now, and I realize my post belongs in the politics room, not here, but Bobby, please understand that I respect you and your family--I have heard nothing but good about you guys--I just wanted to point out that I rapidly tire of the sniping and snide comments about a particular candidate and what he purportedly will do or not do if elected. I try not to attack the candidate not of my choice in that manner even though I have several doubts about his policies, platform, etc. Do ya see what I mean?
I guess you can let me have it here, or pm me and we can discuss what you think about what I said and maybe we can get closer to an understanding politically speaking in the same manner that Alan Loder and I have. I believe there's room for both of us to have differing opinions without either of us casting undue aspersion on either candidate..Thanks for listening.
