  1. I thought he wasn't going to ride that bike - wasn't that the rumor?

    Jeez, I guess he is a Texan - spreads around misinformation just about
    as well as anyone.

    George Bush is not a Texan (part of the dis/misinformation <g>๐Ÿ˜‰. They're from
    New England. GHW, Mass. GW, Conn. --TP

    he may have been born in connecticut in 1946 but the family moved to odessa,
    texas in 1948 and he grew up there and in midland & houston. that counts
    as being from texas in my book. much moreso than connecticut at any rate.

    Did you hear the rumor from a Texan? Do you have some kind of audience
    with Lance? Do you not know there is an element of strategy in such a
    sporting event? Do you assume that watching 12 hours of the tele a day
    and having a super fast cable modem connection makes you the utmost
    authority on all events?

    Typical red diaper doper baby mentality. Read "The Savage Nation" and
    "The Enemy Within" before you embarass yourself any more.

    I don't know what you mean by "that bike." He didn't ride the "new" TT.

    Shipped him back East to go to college, too. No UT Austin for that boy. Or even
    ATM.

    Not a Texan. --TP

    he goes to college at yale, gets his degree in 1968, joins the texas air
    national guard until '73 .. goes off to harvard for 2 years and moves back
    to texas in 1975 where he's been ever since. so he spent maybe 10 years
    total outside of texas of about 58.

    sorry texas, it ain't that easy. he is *SOOOOO* texan.

    ut-austin or yale/harvard? maybe the only smart decision of his life (tho
    it was probably made for him)

    Even more opaque and bizarre than usual, and that's saying something

    be "Hot Air" or "Wheat Air?"

    Just goes to show there are more than a few R.D.D.B.'s here...

    Spent most of his life there, from all accounts. Hell, he was so
    scared of the Vietnamese invading his state that he signed up to
    protect her very skies. Or the bars in the near vicinity of the air
    base. Something like that.

    Who knows? Maybe he actually saved one of his squadron mates from
    enemy fire while he was there? It's hard to know, with the lack of
    records and all. But I'm quite sure it happened just like he said.
    After all, he'd never shade the truth in order to tell a good story,
    now would he?

    Back to LA - I had understood that he didn't like the TT bike - wasn't
    this a TT stage, or did I read the wrong segment? If I did - mea
    culpa.

    White Air?

    Doesn't matter - anyone who quotes Michael Savage has issues that
    require immediate attention.

    Another coat-tail rider like Hannity - appeals to folks' base
    instincts and claims those instincts are somehow virtuous. Rush
    Limbaugh has been doing that for years, and made a huge pile of cash.
    Nothing wrong with that, but Savage ain't original in the least. Just
    a bit more strident.

    I ignore White Air because his posts have no substance. At least
    there's something to Mark Hickey's posts.

    Oh - the report I read (I read two of them, to be accurate) said he
    was riding a "new" bike. Maybe the reporter didn't know anything
    about anything. I didn't see any pictures, so I don't know.

    Sorry about that. It was still a nicely-done stage, from the report.

    Your credentials aside, what is wrong with favoring language, borders
    and culture? You must be another red diaper doper baby.

    No, I do not follow Dr. Savage 100%. I only agree with about 75% of what
    he says. I haven't listened to Rush in 10 years and I can only stand
    about 30 minutes of Hannity.

    I do listen to Laura Ingraham for full length in the AM.

    But you red diaper doper babies just need to roll a big fatty and smoke
    it. Make it a fatty that will last for another 119 days.

    It has been reported that UT-Austin turned down Shrub's application, but
    Harvard accepted his (with an eye to keeping the favor of a rich and
    politically influential family, no doubt).

    Dear Greg,

    Yes, but fair is fair--name two books for us to read to open
    our minds in your direction.

    And for my sake both of you should vow never to "embarass"
    yourselves again.

    Normally, I try to ignore such spelling mistakes in the hope
    that my own typos and mis-spellings and bad editing will be
    tactfully ignored, too, but in the days before word
    processors I had to re-type an entire master's thesis to fix
    over a hundred "embarassing" mistakes, and this left me
    abnormally sensitive about the number of r's in the word.

    Typical book-hungry pedant mentality.

    "House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the

    "Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush"

    Sorry they're not as hilarious as "The Savage Nation".

    Thank heavens I escaped from academia before technology
