The glass roof, even though it doesn't fully enclose the stadium, will turn the thing into one damn big greenhouse. It's already freaking hot in Greece in August. Why make it worse? I hope it works out if they finish it though. I really like Santiago Calatrava's designs. This was his first American work in my hometown of Milwaukee.

Wow- is that supposed to be a whale or something?

I see Milwaukee and I can't help but visualize Alice Cooper talking about "the good land".

Saw that Abizaid wants about 5 more brigades over there. Dang, the Army's getting stretched already!

I actually met Alice Cooper in a bar in DC a long time ago. I was ordering a beer and said I didn't care, just take it off of the shelf. He was at the table a couple down from mine and that's what started the conversation because he likes to drink warm beer. I told him I drink them off of the dashboard of my truck, I was working as a carpenter back then. He was was amused, but told me contrary to popular belief he was laying off of drugs and just drinking back then. That was pretty cool. As a matter of fact, he bought me 6 warm beers!!!!

Lol!

That was a funny line for us Milwaukeeans, 'cause it's completely wrong. Hey, we did learn something in grade school around here!

quote:

Milwaukee's name comes from the Native American expression, Milliocki, meaning "gathering place by the waters." French explorers, missionaries and fur traders began stopping at the Milwaukee site in the late 1600s.

Greece looks like a nice place to party, anybody been there before?

No concerns here.

Handing over of power. I don't forsee anything changing because American troops are still there. In the elections in 2005 I think that will be the big test because we get to see what the people really want.

Very true. It's not a handover of power on the 30th, per se, but rather a shift of authority from the intervening US strip mall whores that you call our 'Presidency' to an interim gov't lead by an industrial engineer advised by a Kurd and another dude(I forgot).

Like kaos said, what happens between now and 2005 when the Iraqis have their own consitution and real election, and the results of whatever happens is important. The only important thing to realize on the 30th is that Iraq has the power to ask foreign security to leave.

I'm not concerned about the US running out of big bombs! HAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!
