The Doctor

According to the right wing nuts, Jesus would be 4 wheeling across the holyland in a SUV of biblical proportions. From what I remember from Sunday School, Jesus walked just about everywhere. The Doctor :scratchin:

Leave it to conservatives to create the "Pants Police" The Doctor :scratchin:

I would be, at the least, mildly surprised if anything happened to the teacher. I've been on the School Board of the Crosby/Ironton school district (ISD #182) in Minnesota since 1998. One thing I have learned is that it is almost impossible to fire a teacher. You can bet that the teachers union will "circle the wagons" and defend this teacher to the death. The Doctor :scratchin:

Manfred Mann from South Africa, I think.. The Doctor :scratchin:

Where's Umma??? She has eyes that could melt down a reactor!!!! The Doctor :scratchin:

Currently I'm reading Analog...Sci-Fi/fact magazine. I'll be starting Chapter House Dune next. The Doctor :scratchin:

Dude...thanks for the link that provided the story. This one was lost to the media. Not surpised that it happened in Florida, I suppose. It is Bush country. None of them have ever gone hungry. The Doctor :scratchin:

Dude...your history is esentially correct. The Arab countries surrounding Israel did't give a damn about the Palestinians prior to the creation of Israel and after starting (and losing) 5 wars against Israel, they lack the will to wage war with a country that only wants to be left alone. So they do it the cowards way through acts of terrorism. And since Israel has a significant nuclear arsenal, Damascus, Cairo, Tehran, etc don't want to end up in a mushroom cloud. Lets all remember that the world, including America and the middleastern countries did nothing to prevent or stop the genocide of the Jews. I often view much of the middle eastern countries as immature with their endless demands on the world, non-stop "jihads, fatwahs, calls for holy wars, etc" at the slightest perceived offense. Ok...I'm done now...climbing off my soapbox... The Doctor :scratchin:

I was surprized but pleased to see Eric Johnson in the list. He's one of the best and I would have rank him higher. The Doctor :scratchin:

Umma...you can be such a nag! Actually the 10% figure can be considered fairly accurate. Typical audience response for listeners to a given radio contest (I've been in radio about 13 years now) runs from 5 to 10% of the total audience at the time and it's usually the same ones participating. Now, as for you, Umma...see what your post about not enough postings has caused? I should take your loofa away!!!!! The Doctor :scratchin:

Welcome DM. However, beware...some of us bite so I hope your shots are updated. The Doctor :scratchin:

I claim no special expertise when it comes to pro basketball but I won't let that stop me! Since I'm from Minnesota I am biased. The Timberwolves has it's best team ever in it's 15 year history and ended the regular season as the #1 seed in the Western Conference...a 1st for the Wolves. They have never survived the 1st round in the playoffs but that is very unlikely to be the case this time around. Denver is good, but not in Minnesota's league. They've won only 1 game in the last 9 meetings against the Wolves, so the momentum is the Wolves favor. Look for them to easily eliminate Denver and move on to the 2nd round. Of course, I could be wrong... Go Wolves!!!!! The Doctor :scratchin:

The website for Starcastle is www.starcastlemusic.com Also, I want to correct my ealier post. Starcaslte is from Illinois, USA. They have a new cd and the clips I heard from sound good. They can be sampled at the website. The Doctor :scratchin:

Yes has always been a favorite of mine. Their vocals and syncopation set themselves apart from other progressive bands. Have any of you heard of Starcastle? From Canada. Had a string of albums in the 70's with some brief radio play. I saw them with Boston in the late 70's and I thought they sounded very much like Yes...almost a rip-off. The Doctor :scratchin:

John and his late brother Tom Fogarty...CCR Cornilius Brothers with Sister Rose... The Corrs The Cowsills The Osmonds The Hatfields & the McCoys...oops...the interbred and killed each other :scratchin:
