Fran's Thoughts
Love Boat
Has anyone seen the Levitra commercial with the sort of gray-haired black guy in it? He says that he never expected that high blood pressure (or maybe diabetes) could cause ED. Its the one where he tries to take a timed picture of himself and his wife and the camera goes off early. Do you know who that is? I say its Ted Lange who played Isaac Washington, the bartender, on Love Boat. Anybody disagree?
Speaking of Love Boat, did you know that Fred Grandy, the guy who played Gopher, the purser on Love Boat, was a US Congressman from Iowa from 1987 through 1995. Then he was President and CEO of Goodwill Industries. Revenues doubled to $1.6 Billion and customers almost tripled to 373,000 per year during his 5 year term. He is now a motivational speaker commanding $10,001 to 20,000 a pop. Not bad for a guy who played a dumb ass on a dumb ass show.
Speaking of dumb ass shows that outlive their usefulness: Love Boat lasted 9 years and 255 episodes before the plug was ( mercifully) pulled.
Just give them half a chance to obfuscate (i.e. LIE)
Hillary said that failed Bush Administration policies are part of the reason why the North Koreans conducted a nuke test. (It was such a pitiful explosion that there's a question that it was really a nuke. It was either a flawed nuke or just conventional explosives meant to look like a nuke. But that's all beside the point. Hillary was under the impression that it was a nuke when she opened her big bazoo.) (Bazoo is a real word and it means "mouth".)
Will you let me refresh your memories? The joke of a former president, Jimmy Carter, went to North Korea and "negotiated" a deal with Kim's father. We gave them money and nuclear technology - nuclear technology for power plants. Jimmy "fought hard" to get their promise that North Korea would never use this technology to make offensive nuclear weapons. Think about this. They get nuclear technology and money. We get a promise from a dictator. The Clinton administration approved the deal. (Congress must have been involved too.)
All of this is the fault of the Bush administration? I don't think so....

Love Boat was one of my favorite shows? Are you surprised? But I have no desire whatseover to go on a cruise!
What if Hillary Clinton becomes president? I don't think you'd be able to handle that!
What a horrible prospect that would be. You're right. I'd never be able to handle it. I have a lot of trouble even watching her on television or listening to her voice on the radio.
I believe none of the politicans and dislike most of them. So where do I go from here.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW LOVE BOAT SUCKED, AND IF HILLARY CLINTON WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY WOULD HAVE TO DECLARE A BROKEN ARROW!
Fran ...You got some splainin' to do....Where did you get that info on Carter ? I'm under the impression that the Plutonium reactors were sold to Dim Kim in the '80s and they came from a Swiss company.
Why don't you read, man? Google "Carter North Korea".
North Korea had a nuclear program. Carter negotiated an agreement whereby North Korea promised to stop the program in exchange for food and money and either a light water reactor or the technology, I don't know which. Carter, and Clinton, claimed that they had averted a possible nuclear confrontation with the Communist World.
The diplomats and the appeasers will never get it I'm afraid. Dictators are bad partners in agreements. What could possibly cause anyone to believe that they will live up to the agreements they make? They did bad things to get where they are. They'll continue to do whatever it takes to stay where they are. To think they are as good as their handshake and signature is idiosy. And that's what the diplomatic appeasers are -idiots.
It is unfortunate, but the only thing dictators and fanatics understand is force. All of them are bullies. They push and push to see how far they can get. They do understand a "push back" though. Moammar Quadaffi understood what he was expected to do in the future after Reagan stuck a missle up his butt.
You might say that Libya was and remains a piss ant country. Libya was and is a tent community. But North Korea, which wallows in poverty, and Iran, which is run by a regime which has little popular support, are piss ant countries too. We could certainly insert missles a la Quadaffi. Why don't we do it? What prevents the most powerful nation on earth from saying "Enough. We're tired of this bullshit and we'll have no more of it. Therefore:..." (Sounds like a John Bolton speech doesn't it)?
By the way, you do know that the Iranians are not Arabs don't you?
Gee....I'm shocked at your tone. Where did that Iranianian , Arab comment come from ? I do hope that was a given, I am not the pResident ( you did know, that he DIDN'T know that there where Shiites and Sunnis, before '03 ?)...You don't want me to get all Zell Miller on you, do you ?....Obviously you missed my question ( Everyone ignores me , I'm used to it )...I'll type slower so you are better to read it........WHERE did you get that info on Carter?....not WHAT is your opinion ? ....The Dim Sim I , died on 7/8/94...How was he to broker a deal when the interm agreement wasn't reached until 8/13/94 ? .....The formal agreement did not occur until much later.....Quick History, for the uninformed...The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (Ironic choice of words, almost as good as "We're fighting them over there")....was the first country to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in '93....When treatened with invasion by the US they came to terms on an agreement, (A binding pact by two countries in holy matri......oh ,sorry...Jessie may get offended)...They would get fuel oil worth $M, we would seal the plutonium under UN inspection. This occured just as planned....By '98 , We got confirmation that Dim Sim II was pulling a fast one and was trying to refine Uranium into weapons grade material. Even if he HAD the amount of centrifuges to do it , it would have taken Dimmy decades to accomplish it....Maybe by then he would have had the MEANS to deploy his scant arsonal...but doubtful. Again he was called out on it and that program was suspended during negotiations. (Damn, sight less expensive than invasion- or have you not yet learned that lesson)....Flash forward to '00...February 30 to be exact (IF Georgie says there is 30 days in Feb, Damn it must be so)...Georgie decides to pronounce all agreements from the previous Administration ,' Null and void'....including Dimmies fuel oil for his Electric-ical plants. Dimmy protests ..."What !!!! You can't do that"....Georgie (I know this is why you love him ) says...."Iraq, ..thats the list."..So Dimmy says " Shit if everyone is over in Iraq-a-nam who the hell is gonna invade me now"...So in '02 he throws out the inspectors (No really , he did ....Saddam did not)..and he tried making a bomb....Which I'm afraid isn't going so well for young the little punker dude....Making a bomb is supposed to be the easy part...getting the correct fuel is supposed to be the hard part......Do not be alarmed by those reports, they are more likely fertilizer explosions. I have yet to read anyone reporting radioactive signatures...and until they do...He is still little Dim Kim....There is a moral to this tale but there isn't anyone very moral in it...is there? ....The TIME LINE is correct Fran, and before you ask me for my sources...Here it is "The World Almanac".....I know this is also going to be a shocker ...but that Swiss company who sold them the plutonium plants....did you know the employee who brokered the deal was none other then Donald Rummy (No shit....Kind of Ironic, almost Kevin Baconish)
