    Go get 'em Nancy and Harry!

    The current spate of attacks on the Attorney General, Scooter Libby, **** Cheney, et. al., add even more credence to one of my all-time political beliefs: He who sits in the saddle gets to whip the horse....

    1998 VP SX outdrive service

    I'll soon be talking to a mechanic about doing outdrive service on my 1998 Glastron GS 185 Ski & Fish. (Last done in 2006.) What things should I have in mind as we discuss what is to be done? Thanks for your replies! Bob Fort

    NY's Junior Senator makes a decision....

    My fervent hope is that she resigns her Senate seat, if nominated, prior to her campaign run...unlike the last Democratic nominee. (OK, I'd like to resign her Senate seat no matter what happens!) I guess Kerry felt he needed a long-term gig in case the Pennsylvania Avenue thing didn't come to...

    Kofi Annan

    Don't miss Ambassador Annan's comments about the USA in his speech this afternoon in America's heartland. What a country! We pay the bills, gloss over the thug's actions, then stand by while he hammers us. Love that United Nations. How many remember the long drawn out process that took place...

    A Pelosi-kind of view....

    I'm thinking that Nancy Pelosi may be filling the "re-bound leader" role for the Democratic Party. Hopefully, the Gore-Kerry-Conyer-Clinton [will he ever go away?]-Kennedyites are over the hill, and Pelosi is the interim person that bridges the gap between the old guard and some of the new...

    Beware the blather....

    As you go about gathering info prior to voting next month, I urge you to read carefully and look for actual things that candidates have accomplished...NOT things they say they have/will get done, if elected. For example, "I support" I'll work towards" "Together we will" are all just hot air...

    Amish - Moslems

    Can you think of a greater contrast than that between the responses of an Old Order Amish Bishop and a Moslem Cleric on a minor slight such as a Danish cartoonist publishing his work? How would that same Moslem cleric respond to an horrific event such as happened at Nickel Mines, PA? I have...

    Cunning Republicans....

    How 'bout them dad-blamed Republicans? It now seems that every one of 'em up for election next month knew all about about Rep. Foley's disgraceful behaviors over the past three years; and they covered it up to boot. Those tight-knit Rep's and Senators kept the secret so well that NOT ONE...

    Family Unity

    Since Danny Glover has proclaimed Hugo Chavez his brother, I feel it is only right that we urge Danny to renounce his citizenship in this country and move to Venezuela to be with his family. After all, family ties are usually strengthened when the members live in close proximity.... Gee, we'll...

    Interrogation techniques....

    I feel that neither isolation, rock music, nor questioning of Moslems by women are harsh and untoward interrogation techniques. On the other hand, I do feel that parading captives on television, held at gunpoint by masked captors, and beheading them at times are abusive techniques. Where are...

    Clinton weighs in....

    Comment from Bill Clinton regarding the upcoming ABC 9/11 special, “I just want them to tell the truth…that’s all….” Is that not the funniest thing you’ve ever heard?

    United Nations

    Granted, the UN does some good things in the realm of human rights. Aside from that (and certainly not to diminish that good thing), can anyone even hint at something positive that the UN has done in the area of international relations/world peace? For example, when has a UN resolution ever...

    MotorGuide trolling motor top cover

    If you own a MotorGuide trolling motor, and if the direction arrow that indicates the direction the motor is pointing is broken/won't rotate; don't bother buying a replacement cover with a new arrow....it will break too. Use two-part Loctite epoxy to fasten the turning gear to the arrow...

    Aerator pump replacement

    I burned out the livewell aerator pump on my 1998 Glastron 185 Ski & Fish, HIN 14057E898. I removed the pump to find out replacement info, but there are no markings on the pump....? Does anyone have any info for me regarding replacement pump model, size; transom hole diameter, etc.? I wrote...
