Otherwise, George Bush, the
most competent president since Herbert Hoover


I bet I have to explain this, too. I, like
most pinko leftist West Coast tax-and-spend
liberals, regard Herbert Hoover as one of the
worst presidents, exeeded in incompetence by his
predecessor Calvin Coolidge who was
exceeded only by his predecessor,
Warren G. Harding.

And two of them have Bay Area connections.
Hoover was from Palo Alto. Harding died in
San Francisco, supposedly in the same
room as an earlier king of Tonga. (*)

So, it's relevant to the "ba" in ba.broadcast.
But how is it relevant to "broadcast"?
Well, now you'll understand a snide reference
that someone in the media makes. Probably
someone on NPR or Bernie Ward.

(*) I tried to find a reference to the king
on the Web, but it turns out to come from
my own Web site. I got it from a staffer
at the Sheraton Palace in SF.

Heh. The previous poster has the same predilection for going
tut-tut that caused me to add poor Higdon to the kill-file,

I never understand why people feel compelled to announce their kill-file
entries. Who cares? Just enter the person and shut the **** up about it.
Myself, I never use them. If I don't want to read particular people for, I
have more than enough will power not to read them.

Yes. You blamed the New Orleans levee failures on Bill Clinton, yet
these failures happened 5 years into Bush's administration and after a
severe cutback in federal infrastructure funding. I normally don't
respond to your posts because it appears you come from another planet.
But I wasn't going to let this one slip by.



He was being sarcastic with that post.

Heh. The previous poster has the same predilection for going
tut-tut that caused me to add poor Higdon to the kill-file,
although as far as I know, Higdon doesn't imply that he
comes from a different planet. Higdon's thing is, "I do
it too." But it's the censuriousness that becomes
intolerable, and not the fact that he's a copy cat
or comes from Neptune. Common equity demands I add Mr. Kaye.
So, kerplonkity. Watch out, Wattenburg. You're next.


You pegged Higdon all right. It was a while until I realized it was a
cycle designed to get Higgie Baby some attention. I stopped playnig that
game.

*Herbert Hoover*
Born in an Iowa village in 1874, he grew up in Oregon.

I am about as liberal as you can get without going to jail, but I must
disagree with your assessment of HH. He was a decent, honest man who had
accomplished great things before he became president. He was blindsided
by the depression, as was everyone else. FDR (Who is the 2nd greatest
president, after George Washington.) was also at a loss, but was willing
to try anything hoping something would work. Harry Truman (another great
president) rehabilitated HH by calling him back to government service
and by renaming Boulder Dam after him. I agree with your
characterization of HH's predecessors, but suggest you take another look
at HH, he was a great man. (He also organized the first Cal - Stanford
football game.)

How so? Farms take the cheap way out by providing only the barest of
essentials to their farmworkers. Many farms do not even have
conveniently located outhouses and places to wash the hands. It's
likely that the e coli outbreak came from a farmworker who didn't wash
his hands after defecating.

Perhaps. But look at the number of folks who walk out of a public
restroom without washing their hands... and the water and soap are
right there!

The other likely cause is using human or
animal waste as fertilizer, though it's unlikely because this is
frowned upon by agricultural inspectors.

Sludge. Its use is common enough.

Interesting that the company that grew the spinach is called "Natural
Selection Farms". Sounds like natural selection at play, definitely.

It would have been nice if the news media would have focused in on this
situation by finding out a little about farming. I watched some videos
of stories from KRON, KPIX, and CNN, and didn't see anything talking
about the *source* of the problem.

That would imply guilt...

And saying that spinach comes from farms is called "profiling."

It didn't come from the maternity ward...don't make a bunch of stupid
allegories!

Correct. It fell off the turnip wagon.

Government is NOT always bad. They saved your ass just as they've done
millions of times in all the years of your misinformed life, and you
should give them some credit.

You are a stranger to sarcasm. Or maybe you're just stranger.

We're not accusing Mexican farmworkers of deadly malfeasance, stupid. I
was trying to be polite about it.

You're right. That's why KB9RQZ and N9OGL keep making fools of

And there's a lot of INtelligent people who THINK that the lies
they tell are being gotten away with...
