She was spouting liberal talking points and railing about GWB. After listening to 20 minutes of crap, I calmly interjected a fact or two to correct her errors. She took the bait, and for the next 20 minutes she incrementally raised her voice rather than reinforcing her argument. I remained calm, and her date was silent, but obviously amused. When she hit about 130 db, the manager ejected her. She looked at her date and asked, "What are you waiting for?" He handed her a twenty and said, "Here's cab fare, I haven't finished my beer."

Had real round engines, too. Struts showed up first on the 120/140/170 models. From the very first Airmaster, all Cessna singles had cantilever wings, up through the 190/195 series.

While you have a few that can carry the left's water as needed it wouldn't be fair <i>to them</i> to carry so much responsibility for rebuttal on their clearly overburdened (by Bush of course!) shoulders....

Welcome to my world. It doesn't help much that the Times Record is owned and operated by a very left-wing media group. Heck, so is the Portland Press Herald. Virtually all of the media in Maine is controlled by the left. Yeah. Sigh.
