QUOTE(WCSox @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 08:54 AM) What a shocker! So, how long now until the Israelis bomb their nuclear facilities? Just a matter of time. See the thread I made about this subject a couple of weeks ago.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Well, looks like it won't be a one-goal loss tonight. 4-0 Oilers halfway through the 2nd. Hawks look TERRIBLE tonight - sloppy, taking bad penalties, no puck control. NOT encouraging at all, no "silver lining" thus far. 5-0 final score. Just blow this team up and start over again. Keep the rooks, get rid of the lazy vets. Oh and Yawney is not NHL coaching material either.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060103/en_tv_eo/18055 What a bunch of fascist whiners. They can openly condemn a cartoon but yet the same organization hides systematic rape, molestation and abuse for over 40 years from all authorities & puts priests into new parishes so they can harm children all over again. f***ing hypocritical bastards. I cant believe this, another APU post I agree with. What is REALLY going on around here?!

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) I thought it was NATO that was handling Peacekeeping. The French and Germans and such. I want to say Afghanistan is one area that has been done right militarily. Very few combat casualties and relative peace in a tenuous security situation has really made this action shine as a success. I'm a little concerned and have been concerned about the aid situation. It seems like we have a tendency to pledge a lot and deliver little. (And by we, I mean the Western world as a whole.) You're right, it was NATO.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 3, 2006 -> 01:18 PM) This WaPo piece contains 1 good piece of news and 1 potentially very bad piece of news. As Professor Cole says, the pullout of troops is probably a good idea, as pulling out troops will likely strengthen the view of the national government, since it will be viewed as more of a nationalized government as the international troops withdraw. However, given that we give $3 billion a year to Israel, $2 billion a year to Egypt, and so forth...does it seem like a good idea to dramatically cut back on aid to Afghanistan, when that aid is something the national government needs to rebuild from 25 years of Civil War? Hopefully Congress will reappropriate those funds. The last thing we need to do is shortchange the Afghan government so much that the drug growers and militia leaders are able to reassert power once NATO pulls out. US forces are trying to have it where they are the combat force in charge of chasing Al Quada while the UN handles the peacekeeping efforts throughout the rest of the country. I dont think its time to cut back on aid though.

I didn't hear this much complaining from the left when Al Gore was taking money from the Chinese. I guess that was ok huh?

QUOTE(IlliniBob72 @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) Republicans don't whine and b**** as much as Dems do. Its good to be king.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Exactly - FEMA, the state of Lousiana and all the local cities and counties/parishes were equally unprepared for a disaster that they KNEW was coming (in the short AND long term). And since New Orleans is known for having the most corruput local government in this country (exhibit one: NOPD), I guess we shouldn't be surprised to see the governor of LA is right there with them. Im in total agreement that the state, local and federal governments are equally to blame for this mess. My problem is that Blanco and Nagin didn't even wait for the rain to stop before blaming Bush for everything and anything that went wrong there. There was no accountability at the state and local level whatsoever for mistakes made.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) Just to clear up something, IMO, no one should be called a bandwagon fan for not cheering for the Hawks right now, but cheering them on when there doing well. You never said anyone was a bandwagon fan, so im not accusing you, im just saying. The Hawks have been a joke of a franchise for 15 years. There is a difference between sticking with your team when there in the dumps, or starting to root against the team when the owner clearly does not care about the product on the ice. Why should you care when ownership clearly doesnt? Every team goes through a rebuilding phase and they're gonna suck for a while. Happened to the Bears and Sox and they went through it right and look at em now. The Slackhawks have been in perpetual rebuilding ever since they dumped Roenick back in 1996. Nearly 10 full years of rebuilding and we're on track for the same suckage this year. Its the same snow job every year too. They sign a couple of hacks to make people think they're doing something then end up sucking ass anyway. Staying loyal to a team which is designed for mediocrity at the very best year in and year out is for suckers. Its become quite enjoyable for me to watch this s***ty team lose then go somewhere like Blackhawkzone.com and read the whining comments from the 2 dozen people who still give a crap. If Blackhawks fans had 2 brain cells in their heads they would boycott Wirt$ Inc. until they really do something to right the ship. The only way his annual snow job will end is if the fans stop going, stop buying his beer and stop parking in his parking lots.

Im not joking when I say start Blake over Orton if you know who goes down. Hell, start my grandma ( who has alzheimers ) over Orton if it came down to that.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 11:18 AM) That kid has some serious balls. Dude, theres a huge difference between having balls and being incredibly stupid. That kid could have easily been on an Al Quada highlight video and then his parents would be whining to Bush to save him. What a f***ing idiot.

My New Years Resolution is to not make any lame resolutions that Im going to end up breaking a week or so later anyway.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 31, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) Well at this point they might as just go dump Khabi and Aucoin and get as many good draft picks as they can. Dont worry dude. If this team is playing this way near the deadline ( they'll probably be 10-12 games under 500 by then ) you can count on Dollar Bill to do a salary dump. They're following the same script they've been following for the last 10 years now. Sign a few hacks who are past their prime to get the ignorant masses excited then when they suck anyway dump the salaries and start talking about a youth movement.

God this team f***ing blows. Only interesting thing left is to see which of the bottom feeders is going to pwn!! them next. LOL!!!

I dont really pay a great deal of attention to opinion polls anyway. You're always gonna have 40% that will back Bush no matter what, 40% that will oppose Bush no matter what and the fickle middle 20% that are actually swayed by news events. About the only exception to this was in the aftermath of 9-11 when Bush was like 89% approve or whatever.

I loved watching Olbermann when he was doing Sportscenter. He was the best sportscaster Ive ever watched. However, Ive lost all respect for him now that he's a shill for the Democratic left.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Balta, you could come up with s*** that says "Bush said white", you'd find some article saying "Bush really said black". It's rather amusing. You read the rest of his website. I havent laughed that hard in a while.

BRAVO KENNY!!! Now lets see if Garland can repeat his outstanding performance of last season now that he got his money.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) Hillary would KILL on the coasts and midwest. She'd get tore up in the south... but the coasts and midwest is enough to get her elected. If you watch the media - and some actions of things going on in Congress, they are kissing her ass left and right. And she's done her best to be appealing to the "moderates" - Independants who are swing votes. No way in hell does she clean house in the midwest like you're saying. You're also failing to recognize that Hilliary is an object of maximum scorn from Republicans from coast to coast. Our smear machine would drag her through the mud from the moment she won the nomination stopping only to piss in the mudhole and Id be loving every 30 seconds of it. No way does that socialist win anything but a trip back to Arkansas.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) In 1996, Bill Clinton won Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Iowa too, I think. That would be cleaning up. He also won Tennessee and Arkansas. .........against Bob Dole?! Come on. Your mom would clean up in those states if she were running for re-election during good economic times against a tree stump like that.

Now that all the bribes dried up from Saddam Hussein I guess Kofi and Kojo are looking for a new racket to get their slimy hands into.

After all the whining and complaining about the US not ratifying Kyoto now it comes out that they aren't abiding by the treaty their damn selves. LOL. I also loved the part where they blamed the US not signing the treaty for their own failure to live up to it.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 27, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) The gas shortages were in 1973 and 1974. ........and 1979. Just ask my dad who still b****es and complains about it.

Ed Koch is one of a dwindling number of prominent Democrats who actually gets it these days. The rest are on the 'Bush is evil no matter what' bandwagon and will stop at nothing to tear him down.
