    Who is this Bruce character you speak about?
  • Ted · 1 year ago
    Some guy who plays in a bar band in New Jersey. I heard he's good, but he won't do any Bon Jovi songs.

    I didn't watch a moment of the Olympics, but I'm sure I will watch this. What a dork I am! By the way, guys... If you have room for Baldy's two-cents, I'll be glad kick in.

    How many houses do John Kerry and Al Gore own? How many houses does Ted Kennedy own? Do they know? Even more interesting: How many 946 square foot ranch homes like the one I own would fit inside all the houses John Kerry and Al Gore and Ted Kennedy own? Enquiring minds... Boy I sure do hate those multiple house-owning rich Republican greedheads, though. Yeah, man! We want men of the people, like Nanci Pelosi (net worth $25 million plus) and Harry Reid (a relative pauper at $2-5 million), running things.

    Ted, I feel your pain. I've been hurt by the inflation/dollar devaluation caused by the fiscal mismanagement of the current powers that be, coupled with the insult of the Fed artificially lowering interest rates and offering bailouts to keep the punchbowl full for the Wall Street bigwigs.

    But I don't see much point in paying attention to either political convention. I never do. Hot air is hot air, whether it is exhaled by Donkeys or Elephants. Then I'll just drag myself sorrowfully out in November and hold my nose again.

    Sorry, Eric, but the problem with McCain and his houses is hypocrisy, not wealth. Here you people have been for five months, trying to paint as an elitist a poor, mixed-race kid who got through high school, college and law school on scholarships--just because he's brilliant and can string words together better than any of the neanderthals in the Republican Party can. Meanwhile, your Admiral's Son pretends he's a man of the people despite having spent the last 30 years (since he dumped his ailing first wife) sucking at the teat of Cindy's beer fortune while doing everything in his power to concentrate more wealth and power in the hands of the already wealthy and powerful, at the expense of working people.

    The best part of the "how many houses" thing is that Democrats didn't have to denigrate a perfectly good watersport, like windsurfing, or make up a bunch of crap about the power consumed at Al Gore's house. McCain opened his mouth and inserted his $500 shoes all by himself.
