ROFL That's a good one Brian. I never looked at it from that perspective. Boss did get a lot of attention in the national spotlight when a governor got compared to him earlier this year. For some reason I was thinking it was Haley Barbour of Louisiana. Boss was on CNN more than once and also in USA Today when that happened. I know it's mentioned on a thread that's laying around here somewhere. Being in D.C. would be a big thrill to Boss. He always did have his eye on the White House. It matched all his suits and his Cadillac.

Sorry K-Duke. Nice adjustment BL. You got all three right.

Thanks Hoss. I wish I could make out what the poster with Rosco and Flash says but maybe it's Best that we can't (James Best...pun intended). I sure hope the moderators are patient with this thread. I am in no way endorsing any political sides by starting this post. I'm simply sticking with the theme here since this certainly is the "Latest News". I hope folks here avoid the temptation of bringing politics into this thread so it doesn't get dropped by the moderators. It's not every day that the Dukes of Hazzard gets mentioned in the United States Congress. I made a call to the office of Phil Gingrey to ask what will happen to the posters and they said they'll be saved and won't be autioned off or anything. Shucks. Hmmm, I wonder if this guy has Ben Jones' old job.

I just saw something really cool. I was watching CNN just after 4:00 EST and they were talking about Obamacare. (I'll be really careful to not bring up politics since that's against the rules). Boss, Rosco and Flash have made it into the hallowed halls of the United States Congress. Republican Phil Gingrey from the great state of (you guessed it) Georgia had two huge posters of Boss and Rosco w/Flash while he was talking about health care. Also, CNN ran footage of an episode with Boss....the scene where he was getting sprayed with red paint (by Bo as I recall) in his chop shop. It would be nice if one of you folks with computer skills could post a link with this. It would be nice if we could share a picture of the two posters with everybody. But remember folks....no talking about politics. We wouldn't want to ruin the best website on the internet!

It's finally cooled off here up on Lake Erie. That was a rough one!

Maybe he got his bad luck from his Uncle. As I recall Jesse took quite a fall at the end of the first half of Ten Million Dollar Sheriff.

Speaking of the Cubs did anybody see the insurance commercial where the Cub (I'm not even sure who he is) was pulling things out of the ivy at Wrigley Field? After pulling out a few items he then pulled out former Cub Andre Dawson. Andre looked around then asked "What year is it?" I saw it last night during the home run derby and cracked up.... .....and of course I thought of a certain Cubs fan here on the HN. Tonight's the All-Star game!

You missed one BL. Try again.

AWESOME! I'm very happy for you. Congratulations! We'll look forward to that link.

Thanks for the update Garrett. I was at a family reunion all day so haven't seen any of the highlights on TV yet. David Ragen...26th? Well, I guess that's better than he's done in a lot of races but I was hoping he'd surprise folks with a top 10 finish. What state's Loudon in? I didn't even know they gave drug tests in NASCAR. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. They're required in most jobs nowadays.

Yep, that's it... and that breaks the record for quickest time answering a tough question... ten minutes. Since you're on a roll maybe you should head on down and see if you can get all 3 Duke or Dupes. Thanks Hoss!

This new Dallas is pretty interesting. Bobby tried to sell SouthFork Ranch but JR stopped him. Now I really hate to be on JRs side but I sure didn't want to see the ranch get sold. Dallas wouldn't be the same without it....so I've become a JR fan for a little while. Dallas without SouthFork would be like the Dukes without their farm....like that time they almost moved to Hatchapee....perish the thought.

Does anybody remember the HazzardNet screen name of the young man from Georgia who has the grandfather who owns the original Duke farm?

Which of these were on the show? Plainview County OR Overlook County Vern Baskins OR Ernest Worrell George Jones OR Tammy Wynette

Hmmm, nice job of paying attention. I wouldn't be surprised if Hoss puts up a sceeen grab to confirm that.

Nice work as always Hoss. 'Ol Ace was quite a character!

Welcome to the HazzardNet garrett. I hope you get a response soon.

Lizzy and BL are right. Right after I posted the question I saw the post about sharing birthdays with the stars of the show. Cool coincidence! From "Deputy Dukes" who said "We're country boys. We don't use no money. We just barter our way through life. Ya know, if you was to offer me a bushel of corn there ain't no tellin' what I might do for ya."? A) Bo Luke

Little John Schneider was just 7 days old when I was born. We're both 52. My grandson Luke (not named after Luke Duke) was born on Waylon's birthday (June 15)

I had the opportunity to meet Tim at a Dukes event in Canton Ohio. You're certainly right Brian. He sure is passionate about the General Lee. I don't know anybody who knows more about 1969 Chargers than he does. .....and he certainly is worthy of the Fan of the Month award. Congratulations Tim and keep your General between the ditches!

You got it right Hoss. It's People. Who's the only star of our favorite show who celebrates a birthday in July?

There is no place in the entire series where they revealed how old any of the Dukes were. On "Happy Birthday General Lee" Luke said that they first got the General when Bo was just out of high school and Luke was just out of the Marines. That would imply that Luke is four years older than Bo because 90% of Marines back then only stayed in four years. But that presents a problem because in a different episode Luke's Marine buddy comes to town and it is revealed that Luke was a combat vet in VietNam ( I think that was "The Great Hazzard Hijack). If Bo got out of high school in 1978 (like John Schneider did) Luke would have joined the Marines in 1974 but US Marines weren't in combat situations that late in the war to the best of my knowledge. Swamp Molly rescued Jesse from the Feds in 1936. Denver Pyle was born in 1920. Boss's brother was born on 4-6-26 according to the episode "Baa Baa White Sheep" Since they're twins that means Boss was born then too. Rosco was 48 in the episode "Mrs Rosco P Coltrane" and was the quarterback for Hazzard High in 1944 in a different episode. Of course how old they were in real life compared to their ficticious ages were two different things. Enos and Daisy were shown to be about the same age but Sonny's waaay older than Catherine.
