Way to go Packers!  Yes, I rooted for my team.  Way I figure it, the Sox broke the curse in baseball, it's time for another from MA to start a fresh curse all over again.

It's a bona fide sign.  Ever since time began, whoever's sign Mugsy "made" on, they lost the election.   It's set in stone!  

I just LOVE this picture!

Speaking of myths & legends, I saw a video where Theresa Heinz Kerry was stealing Bush/Cheney campaign signs.  Was that a joke, or did she really do that?

Joke.  But there WAS some campaign worker for Kerry caught stealing signs....prosecution forthcoming.

I thought the libs were all about "hearing every voice during the election".  Guess it only applies to people who agree with them.  You can tell which ones they are.....they have that funny salute and they've got problems with their knee joints locking up when they walk  ;) ;D

Isn'y that why they call those little things "kick dogs"?

JUST kidding...  I'm a dog lover (I have 2 "real" dogs).

But wasn't the Sox winning also a premonition(sp?) of sorts for Kerry winning?
