Zep should have picked up a new drummer and carried on. I know Bonham was great and all, but Page, Plant and Jones seemed to flounder for too many years in solo endeavors that seldom had half the passion of Zeppelin.

Aren’t they doing a tour in 2008 with Bonham’s son as drummer?

And back on topic, maybe Black and Vick will room together. I assume they will both be in some kind of protective isolation.

Anything he does counter to those interests is a ruse or perhaps a token gesture for his voters. He’s a lot like my senator - Bill Nelson of Florida.</p> One logical explanation for Reid’s actions is that he is beholden to a cadre of PAC’s and corporate interests.

Huckabee also explained why he left pastoring for politics.
“I didn’t get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives.”
He compared his entry into politics to “getting inside the dragon’s belly,” adding, “There’s not one thing we can do in those marbled halls and domed capitols that can equal what’s done when Jesus touches the lives of a sinner.”
The most basic unit of government is not the city council, quorum court or state legislature, Huckabee said. “It is Mom and Dad raising kids and teaching them respect for authority, others and God.”
