A Sighting on my flight home

[ClutterPolice]

OffTopicPolice is out of town for the Easter holiday and asked me to handle this one.

Hey ColumbiaHeightsHoya, nobody wants to hear your ill-informed bile here about what a "jack ass" someone is for expressing their free speech rights on their person. We are all just SURE you would have had the same feelings if it were a Kerry button. Supposing anyone wants to hear it anywhere, from a simpleton who thinks the president is (or should be) responsible for foreign exchange rates, take your 2nd grade knowledge of macroeconomics to the B&G.

Perhaps I am missing something, but you called a former candidate for the Presidency a "pompous ass." Pot, please meet kettle.

Seems to me that the quip didn't regard anyone's right to carry a W bag, but was an attack on Ari F. himself.

I was on that same flight with Esh and when the Flight Attendants were holding up the emergency cards for demonstration, Blake "Bonecrusher" Esherick came out of his seat and flattened that poor little girl! ;D

JUST JOKING--since this turned into Meet the Press thought I'd throw a joke in there.

Another person I think you have to give credit for the fall of communism in Eastern Europe was President Gerald Ford. While Ronald Reagan and the Pope certainly deserve alot alot of credit for their part in the death of communism in Eastern Europe,it was President Ford,Henry Kissinger,Soviet Premier Leonid Bezhnev along with all the leaders of Eastern and Europe who signed the Helsinki Accords in August of 1975 which Gerald Ford was heavily criticised for it because it was seen as allowing Soviet domination in Eastern Europe forever but in reality it was a death knell for the Soviets because the Helsinki Accords would eventually give inspiration to Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement in Poland and to Vaclav Havel,s Charter 77 movement in Czechoslavokia. While Gerald Ford was not in the White house that long,it should be said that he had as much to do with the fall of communism in Eastern Europe as did Ronald Reagan and the Pope

Boy, you know it's the offseason when the political mud starts flying! Woo hooo. Time to get riled up on the old B&G board...

Next on the slate:
1) Rampant speculation on transfers/recruits &their academic status
2) Hypothetical discussions that degenerate into personal attacks & Editeding contests
3) Bold prognostications about next years schedule & results
4) Bitter political debates errupt within even the most innocuous posts

Stay tuned...it's my favorite time of year!!!

Wait, I'm confused. I thought there was no soviet domination of Eastern Europe.

It's national by the way, not reagan. I refuse to call anything reagan. Even that big ass building downtown is simply, that "big ass building downtown".

Man, I knew there was something I liked about you!!!

I will never argue with you again!!! Even if you're insanely wrong!!!! ;D
