That's gonna be some good photo shop material I think.  The look on his face is hilarious!

I just spent the last two hours over at DU.  I think he may be one of their more credible members.

Somebody say it isn't so. Does the "Rev" Al Sharpton REALLY think he has a snowballs chance in hell of winning the Predidential election in 2004.

Can you say welfare state? How bout welfare entire society? Entire country?

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

President Bush will win the 2004 Presidential election by the largest margin of votes both popular and electoral in Presidential election history.

Sharpton, Gephardt, Kucinich and Moseley....[LOL]

number 6 may be my counter strike decal.

OMG I am praying he wins the nomination. That would be great. LOL

that man has cajones the size of texas.  wow.  that's incredible.  and it must have taken some massive amounts of will power.  I wonder what the rescue team thought ...

or maybe he just did a lot of this first: [booze]

He did this after being trapped under the boulder for five days.  He ran out of water on Tuesday and commenced home surgery on Thursday.  

Wow.
