Banshees Scream

These are some obscure prospects but worth a mention. Why not. Hazel Hawke, the wife of former Australian PM Bob Hawke, must been in the advanced stages of Alzheimers disease as she was "in the mid stages" way back in 2004. One to remember? Or one to forget .. Paul Kraus, the author of "Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide," has been suffering from the disease since 1997. The man has used various healing methods such as converting to a vegeterian diet and taking traditional Chinese medicine which has extended his life. Will he receive the obituary? .. Sunny von Bülow, a socialite and philanthropist, has been in a persistent vegetative state since 1980. The story is that her husband Clause, now 82, allegedly tried to kill her with an overdose of insulin. The trial gained massive coverage at the time and I think she will receive the qualified recognition. The BBC talks about her here. Bob Sheppard, the legendary voice of the New York Yankees since 1951 is now in failing health. In the last year of Yankee Stadium, Sheppard announced that he needed to take a year off. Sheppard, now 98, claims he will attempt to return next season but we all know how these things turn out. I say his obituary coverage is possible due to his legendary status.

Hey man, I might just be insane. Everybody is insane sometimes. Half of the people on this forum are probably insane on some level. Anyway, I don't understand this. Deadsox: What does the pursuit of happiness and success not being guarenteed have to do with society letting the descriminative nature of our past die. I fail to make the connection. I understand what you are saying but equality among people differs from personal acheivement.

I would say 70% of rap music is about "getting out of the ghetto" and "drugs and blood money" which is a logical reason as of why some people would not want to hear it. I'm not a fan of music which just revolves around people killing eachother over cocaine. However, that doesn't mean all rap music is so bad. The music industry is besides the point. I truly hope someday that "crazy Al Sharpton guy who uses his race as an excuse for his own faults" is looked upon as very discriminative. In 2008, we aren't there yet. I do think we will get there eventually. It will be a process.

There isn't any real answer to that question. It could be twenty years-it could be fifty years. The significance in his election is that it triggers an awakening. This result triggers realizations in everyday life. I more the less view the changes in society as long term rather than overnight. The question is "how will it progress?"Will the progression of equality in America be similar to the rise in technology we saw from 1958 - 2008? Will it be that dramatic? I think Typhoid Harry feels .. like Obama will trigger some "Black power" movement. A vandalization of America where white people are now "second" in America according to the black people. Does anyone else feel this way?

I agree. Everything should "balance out now". A black man has been elected president and that certainly should change the way African Americans's view themselves. It's the 21st century now. As the years go by, we should have less use for people like Rev Al Sharpton. There might always be discrimination in this world but the election of a black man should signify a step forward for humanity. People bitching about their skin color is reaching the sunset of it acceptability. However, we aren't exactly there yet. I mean that as I say it.

I was out of town when the extravaganza was happening live. I returned today and that's when I was available to exploit my view on the subject. Generally, I would have been more active in this thread. If you want me to be upfront - I'll correct you Terminator. In my life, I think that I may have lost it once. Or almost lost it. I would say almost. The reason is a combination of factors. I'm not exactly sure how to define it. There was a time years ago where I had many struggles and doubts and realizations and disappointments which affected me. However, sometimes even in great loss, in great failure, there is a renewal which may eventually equal the previous struggle. Sometimes it takes a great sacrifice to reach our destinations in life. I may be proof. The perception some have on this forum is very inaccurate. Listen, it all operates on many different levels. In the end, all that matters is today and only today. I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Ladies and gentleman, on Tuesday night, history was made. A decision had been reached by the people. I previously stated that the United States of America had entered a new phase. A light is now shining through the trees. The hopeless days of which have long occompanied us are now on borrowed time. That's the optimist speaking. The transformation process which has long been promised has now manifested itself as a probable event. However, it hasn't manifested itself as a definite event. I was watching CNN as they made the projection that Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States. As I watched it, I thought of life as other African Americans knew it centuries ago. The moment was for them. I watched John McCain make his closing speech and as I watched it, I felt as if I had just been introduced to some modernized generation where realistic hopes are possible and the expectations deep within ourselves can be met. I'll close this post with noting that I believe this election was mainly decided upon intelligence and not by race. However, I believe John McCain's age played a significant role in his defeat. Somebody previously stated that Sarah Palin reminded them of a cheerleader in highschool. Even as a approachable cheerleader, that doesn't fit the criteria to be Vice President, now does it? It's my belief that McCain wanted something similar to a Hilary-frenzy, which ultimately didn't work out. Even as most would consider her as more of a total MILF then Hillary, it certainly didn't win her the votes. (And by the way, did anyone spot the "little person" in Obama's new administration?) It's either he exists or I'm losing it.

Today is the day the United States of America rises again. Today is the beginning of the end for a deficit of which this country has long been at stance with. The misfortunes this great nation has experienced over the last seven years have been incomparable. A very unfortunate happening provoked ambitions which have ultimately left this country in a state of corruption. The consciousness of this great nation has long been fatigued. The good news is that hope survives. A new wave of hope will be born and through many phases this country will revive it's reputation and rebuild it's foundation with Barack Obama. An ailing Senator Ted Kennedy who will will headline DL 2009 must have a smile on his face. Today is the beginning of the end for this struggle. Today we enter a new phase.

Tribute to Steve Fossett. This is a statement I made at some point. It was my soul speaking.

I'll introduce this post with exploiting the fact that the long anticipated spectacle of which will consist of the morbid gods who make this subject worth while - will be held at some rendezvous on this very earth in a matter of hours. Now, to kick this off, "I wasn't invited". I can only assume that one might be occupied with viewing that result as a complete outrage. The next person on the other hand might be doing the lottery dance. Either way, let's face it, if I actually attended there would only be about four people in the place. A bartender, two waitresses, and some asshole in a green T-shirt. Generally, I would envision a hot dinner date with more of a rebellious diva. (If you want me to be upfront, I actually didn't expect him to invite me) even as it's not "if I would have went" but it's "the principal." Because after all .. if it weren't for me, this website would have been shut down a long time ago. (Probably not, but it wouldn't be as cool) and some of you can be in denial about that. (In the end, we all make it great) Since I'm such a sage at heart .. let me enlighten all of you children with a reminder "He who knows his limits will own a full experience" Enjoy. (And I'm dead serious)

Hey ATJ, have you ever seen the program Dateline NBC news with Chris Hansen? I bet you have. After all these years, I've noticed that's it's as if you have some kind of fascination with the taboos of the human mind. It's just my educated guess. Anyway, I didn't have lunch today so I could have some mini chocolate bars later. I like Haloween. It's once a year, you know.

This article indicates that Al-megrahi's cancer has spread to other parts of his body. Has his stock gone up Godot? Speaking of terrorists, a Yitzhak Shamir-Haloween-extravaganza would definitely be a scream.

Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate it. I envision this night as a time to break routine. Everyone should go out and do something. I recently came up with the greatest costume for somebody who couldn't figure out what to get their kid. I told her "Dress him up a Barack Obama!" .. He'll run around scarring all the other kids. The downside to it is some people might be telling the kid we just ran out candy.

If Kim Jong-il pulls a Suharto that will truly provide a source of exuberance for our regulars here. From North Korea: Kim Jong-il's organs are failing ... (40 minutes later) ... Kim Jong-il's organs are not failing. ... (1 hour later) ... Kim Jong il has eaten a biscuit. It's back and forth until you finally decide that all you can do is wish that situation the very best... and I think we know what I mean by that. Oh, sometimes you just have to let it go ... ..

Some of the people who go in these places ... ..

Well, John McCain made "Joe The Plumber" a bad publicity stunt. The man was obvious material for McCain and he took advantage of this in a desperate time for his party. Sam Wurzelbacher was "McCainized!". Overall, it narrows down to the fact that what McCain has said about Obama "Taxing small businesses " is just not true. Now, as you know, Obama's plan will lower taxes for 97% of Americans and raise taxes of those with an income of approximately 250 grand a year. If you want to believe that statement is just a "campaign promise" .. you are entitled. It's my view that Barack Obama will rejuvenize this nation and reform what the Republicans have distorted. I do think he will make mistakes but I believe that starting on (January 20th, 2009) there will be a new wave of hope for this country. It's also my view that John McCain and Sarah Palin are motivated with the wrong intentions which are based off of an error in judgement. The main reason this country is in debt revolves around the large sum of money we spend in Iraq everyday. If you are a Republican Deadsox, you are in entitled. However, I can only think of two or three intelligent answers as of why someone would lean in that direction in this race.

.. I thought Wurzelbacher was actually a plumber. Are you indicating that plumbing is his "Weekend hobby"? I might have even been fooled by McCain. The man might be full of sh*t but he does a great job of leading people to believe that he knows how to exaggerate ..

I can't take this anymore. I'm not sure if you know this Madame but .. "Joe The Plumber" is a bad publicity stunt introduced by McCain "A lot like Sarah Palin" and I'll tell you why. Senator McCain claims that Obama's stance will put small business owners - "like Joe The Plumber" out of business. Bullshit. Why? Because first of all, about 80% of all small businesses fail (it could be more) and they don't pay tax income because they don't have any income! McCains only strength is that he seduces people with his patriotic moan and they actually buy what he says. Obama's plan will reorganize how money is collected and that begins when taxing the rich so he can give tax breaks to the middle class. From there: he develops and activates new energy sources which will create more jobs. McCain just wants to drill "which is real futuristic". It narrows down to the fact that the Republicans are losing circulation after eight years of policies which weren't working. Let's face it, "Sam Wurzelbacher" is besides the point. The whole McCain campaign is complete a lie.

This is what happens when you combine a poor diet with the use of crack cocaine. 1. The song "Mother's Little Helper" 2. That's right ... when Obama's president ... watcha gonna do. 3. Thank god I have great genetics.. 4. The movie "Joe Dirt" starring David Spade .. and this is the guy who didn't get the part. 5. He tried to join the bloods on April Fool's day .. 6 If Amy Winehouse were a stay at home mom .. 7. Elves ARE REAL! 8. When your vision goes ... you become hard to look at.

The Tudor Solution certainly doesn't shock me. I also wouldn't be shocked if he already began unscrewing the light bulbs outside of his house just in case some trick or treater happens to lose his way. That's vintage John Tudor. The man might be in his early 70's but he still takes pride in hearing the kids knock as he watches 'The TV Guide" on "Basic Cable."(Vintage John Tudor, not a participent of holidays since circa 1979)

Look, it's just a forum. It's a hobby of which is essential for the news junkie. I'll admit that I have been unreasonable before, haven't we all? If everything on this forum were reality, it would be a little different. Others have clearly been misled and you fall in that category. Oh, and by the way, the comment you made was in a thread which was about me. I'll close this post with confessing that when reading your comments, it's as if I'm on a bus where you seem to believe that I'm deaf. The thing is, you are really sold on that belief. In a way, it's like a cultish religion. Terminator is brain washed! Terminator speaks with much irrelevance and has made some habit of telling flat-out lies. Terminator talks mad sh*t! However, it's as if Terminator believes I live in a world of silence where the volume of voice cannot reach the attention span. .. Well, I can hear a pin drop in my sleep, thank you very much. Debunked!

Sudbury would have been my joker next year if he were still living. Instead, I'm currently at debate with myself of who will fill that role. I'm leaning towards Patrick Swayze but I have a few other choices who are without question, DDP Dynamite. I have one candidate who none of you have and I'm telling you, it will be massive if it works out. It's a little premature for this whole discussion but I think limiting one Joanne Evans-candidate to a team solves the problem. I'm not suggesting that a young woman's death should be rushed here - but her obituary response will determine if I exaggerated this or not.

Odstock, this is my view on the subject. The problem is that it's very difficult to categorize what is qualified and what isn't. Randy Pausch, who gained epic fame for being ill, was one of the most inspirational people of the year. I think the obituary coverage clarified that. The downside of attempting to label the stereotype of an illegal candidate is that a rare example like Pausch, will exist. One suggestion might be the Wikipedia Solution which has been mentioned before. The conflict with that is it closes several doors of eligibility and that shouldn't be the plan. I would be open to leaving "Gamblers rolling the dice" because the risk of great sacrafice will measure their success. However, the thought of a successful Carker's Convention using the same "local strategy" constantly reminds me that Joanne Evans is not what DDP is about. Then again, compared to those heartless little scum bags who stacked JG at the top on their lists ..... we are all charity workers! (I know it was required) and by the way, I'm not trying to offend maryportfuncity. I'm just using his approach this year as a standard example. I'm sure he will be seeking revenge ..
