Yeah I never was knocking your suggestion of Palin, heck I remember you mentioning her a few times loooong before McCain was tooting her horn. However you didn't have access to reseach her past & all. The biggest thing being the daughters pregnancy, I would have expected that would fall flat on it's face once the news came out & avoided her at all costs. Not that it matters, but lets' face it, in politics just about everything comes out.

IIRC I liked Hilary's healthcare proposal better than Baracks (I'll have to reseach them again). I think Hilary wanted to "offer" it to everyone at an affordable cost, whereas Barack wants to "mandate" it that everyone get it and I beleive penalize them if they don't. I think Massachusettes has this currently implemented, and while some are against it, it hasn't fully been a complete disaster either. Then again, it's only a small state, but it does have a metro area like Boston where for as many people are insured, there are probably alot who are uninsured also.

I do think something should be done as far as emergency room visits. I don't want it to be a plan people can take advantage of and have people who are uninsured running around taking Zoloft for a $2/bottle co-pay, or seeing a shrink for $15 while our taxes reimburse the rest. However if someone breaks their arm, or is in a car accident, or a carpenter falls off the ladder, I don't think it's right they are in $10,000+ debt because the insurance companies are willing to spend $1,000 a night for a bed or $3000 or whatever for some stitches. I think there should be a pooled plan where the uninsured can pay (if they chose) a low rate ($50 month or whatever it can be done for), and have a maximum to pay of something like $500 or $1,000. Maybe take it from their taxes or tax return upfront. Then if the amount of their hospital bill is over the money gets taken from the pooled account.

Yeah, good thing you're not a Cowboy fan.

Definitely 80's metal. EVERY metal band had the last song on each cassette an acoustic song on both sides of the tape (even Nevermind followed this trend, although they weren't love songs).

I'd definitely agree with Tesla Love Song. Also,
Faster Pussycat 'House of Pain'
Cinderella 'Don't know what you got till  it's gone" might be too rockin though. "heartbreak station'
Poison 'Every Rose'
Also see if Motley Crue had one, myb off Dr Feelgood album.

For SP try "Disarm" he also does a great cover of "Lanslide" off Pisces Iscariot. A great acoustic song from Indie rocker Sebadoh was "Brand New Love". Worth checking out, there's like 3 versions of it, I can email you an acoustic version (can't remember what album it's off of). Also check out some Counting Crows. How about She Talks to Angels also by the Black Crowes.

And Angie, by the Stones, although she may not like that since he's singing a different girls name.

I don't care too much about nuclear energy. I'm not against it, we have it here in PA & get a very large portion of our energy from numerous power plants. I think I read somewhere they only produce like 10% of what they are capable of. We never have to have rolling blackouts or crisis' either like California. Disposing of it is something that needs to be solved however, that shit lasts for thousands of years.

The Hoover Dam is limited in how much energy it will produce. With people moving out west & cities like Vegas populating, it'll never be enough.

I don't even remember who I took & I can't access fantasy football at work. Oh well, I'll check it Sunday night.

Pretty funny sarcastic OP post on another board I visit:

(read the threads subject title. I'm sure it's fake anyway)

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess it got deleted. Anyway, it said something like "Sarah Palin ran the 1995 Anchorage 8K and finished 73rd out of 201 people in 37:55"

Then in the post they just said how ridiculous it all is.
