Can anyone lead me in the direction of replacement bar end shifter covers?
So far, it looks like I'd have to buy new shifters, which is not gonna
happen. If anyone has any old bar end's laying around, I'd gladly buy

them

Here's the new Rumsfeld Defense:
"I am accountable. But the little guys were responsible. I was just giving
orders."

Thomas Friedman

Friedman is the sort of SOB who will stab you in the back when you aren't
looking.

Rumsfeld gives a perfectly logical explanation of the way things work and
then someone with a pea size brain calls it a "defense". He does not need
any defense. Maybe Rich similarly expects the President to know all the
details of his administration too. Carter was a detail man and we all know
where that got us. He was probably the worst President this country has ever
been saddled with.

You know, Ed, I rather like the look of bar-end shifters without the
covers, and I've converted two older bikes to use the bar-end ones and
I have to have a couple of pair lying around which I would have let
this dude have. Until I read that clever sig.

I suppose he pines for the days of Less Aspirin as SecDef, huh?

Thomas Friedman

Now I recall where I first encountered this particular fool before. It was
when he was appending nefarious remarks about good old Joe McCarthy of
Wisconsin that had nothing to do with the body of his post. I see he is
still doing the same thing - appending a political remark which has nothing
to do with the body of his post. That is what this newsgroup ARBR used to be
full of before I showed up to restore the balance. Thankfully, there is very
little of it anymore.

The one thing I feel bad about is that I somehow confused this fool Rich
Westerman with Curtis Russell of Maryland and thought he was the guilty
party. He has never done this sort of thing as far as I know, and so I do
apologize to him for ever having accused him of it. Russell and I now have
other issues between us, but he never did what this Rich Westerman character
does.

I had almost forgotten about poor Les Aspin, the Secretary of Defense under
Clinton for a very brief time. He was a mixed commodity. Some things he did
were not all that bad, but he was mostly wrongheaded about most things. The
Secretary of Defense, because of the kind of world we are living in, is the
most important cabinet position and is always a critical appointment for the
President. Who gives a damn about the Secretary of State. The Secretary of
Defense relates directly to the safety and security of every American. Of
course, if we can have good Secretary of State so much the better, but we
had best well have a damn good Secretary of Defense.

I believe Les Aspin was never in the best of health when he served and that
he died shortly after he left the position of a stroke.

Of course, these extra bar-end covers might be as real as Zippy the Pinhead.

Leave it to Mr. Sherman to miss the point of the post, which is that if you
are soliciting something it is best not to make an extraneous political
comment. But this Rich Westerman just can't help himself because he is
basically a liberal idiot. They never know when to shut up.
