| Back to the house. Get to work. Call up browser. Learn that Howard Dean temporarily called himself a âmetrosexual.â Shudder. Do they have that on tape? Lee Atwater would have the commercial in production already: Split screen. On the right, Bush in flight suit, walking on the deck, waving, giving the thumbs up. On the left, Dean in a loop: âIâm a metrosexual. Iâm a metrosexual. Iâm a metrosexual.â Nothing more. Tagline: Bush. He doesnât moisturize. He doesnât tweeze. And he never had a pedicure. |

| #10 I sure do NMM. My wife used to work on the "Neuse River Response Team" up in New Bern - part of NCDENR. I was stationed at Lejeune. She did that gig for about three years. The pigs were suspected of the fisteria problem. Poor damn menhaden fish died like it was going outta style from that crap (no pun intended). They still haven't been able to formally connect it to the pigs but they're pretty sure. Too much adds up. Anyways, one of the biggest bears in NC was shot out back of a pig farmers house.....it was gluttoning itself on dead pig carcasses in this guy's dumpster. |

| #9 Jarhead--you know the pig farm deal if you live in the Carolinas |

| #8 The pig's really f*ck up the rivers there to. The Neuse river in that area has what's called Fisteria outbreaks, basically fish die in unexplainable droves from this. A lot of the DNR folks thinks it's from the pig waste leaking into the water. |

| #7 Well, Shipman if you lived "Down East" in NC you'd know how Duplin Co has more pigs than people and the waste lagoons--which ruptured during Hurricane Floyd have made people's lives a living Hell--but don't worry--NC has two parties--the GOP and the Republicrats who are only worried about business interests--there really is no Democratic party here that I recognize...so free enterpirse is given a free hand |

| #6 Jesse Helms clone/pig farmer Hey what wrong with pig farming? It so very mid western small town, little farmer tax break city. |

| #5 Edwards!!! a Metrosexual?! First of all he'd have to live in an urban area and Raleigh/Durham NC sure as HELL doesn't qualify! As one of the the token Demoncrats on Rantburg--and one of his constituents--I'm mad as HELL at him--he will cost the Dems a Senate seat--the race will be between Richard Burr R-Winston-Salem and pencil-necked Erskin Bowles--who will be about as popular as Michael Dukakis in NC (Liddy Dole trounced him) The only nice thing I can say about him is that he got rid of that Jesse Helms clone/pig farmer whose name escapes me in my apoplectic rage--I predict Richard Burr will be the next Senator from NC thanks to this dimwit! LOL |

| #4 --"Metrosexual" is a term recently coined to describe urban men who are straight but in touch with their feminine side. They pamper themselves with expensive clothes, haircuts, cuisine, etc.-- Liberal elitists???? |

| #2 Raptor, "Metrosexual" is a term recently coined to describe urban men who are straight but in touch with their feminine side. They pamper themselves with expensive clothes, haircuts, cuisine, etc. A caller to Rush Limbaugh's show mentioned British soccer star David Beckham and actor George Clooney as good examples. A great lifestyle if you wanna go clubbing with supermodels but not the kind of image that sells in the "Red States". Also, it's corny of Dean to call himself "metrosexual". As Rush's caller also said, it's like describing yourself as a "yuppie" back in the '80's. Uncool. I think that Edwards guy is probably more "met" anyway. |
