Driest Summer Ever
I work in the sears home improvement department, and no one is buying anything realted to their lawn. We have been doing terrible in sales, and since i work off comission, it has been a minimum wage summer. It is quite sad that every time it rains just a little bit, everyone celebrates.

London Bombings
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) Actually you're completely, utterly, totally, 100% wrong about the Madrid bombings. The Aznar government in Spain immediately tried to blame ETA after the bombings because they realized an Al Qaeda attack might look bad for them in the elections due to their support for the terribly unpopular Iraq war. But rapidly, evidence came out that it was an Al Qaeda hit. The government which had been trying to cover that up then was voted summarily out of office. Several Al Qaeda people are now in jail for that attack. It was not ETA. You're right, it seems that my source, wikipedia, was not exactly up to date with the june arrests. My apologies.

London Bombings
Before we jump on the i hate the middle east bandwagon, could we atleast wait a little while and find out who ACTUALLY did this before we start blaming people. ( oh wait it appears i am far to late). IIRC, the madrid bombings were done by the ETA, a basque seperatist movement, although after those bombings we were quick to blame alqueda. So could we please wait til more information comes out before we spread ignorant hatred of islam.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 3, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) If he makes the big leagues we have to bring back the first Carlos Lee back, and than bring back Jose Valentin and Javier Valentin... and go out and sign Brett and Aaron Boone.. Than trade for marcus and brian giles, eventually signed JD Drew and drafting stephen drew. And trading for Jeff Weaver and drafting Jered Weaver. You forgot the Durhams

Al-Qaeda? Al-Qaida? or however it's spelled
I think this has become a little to partisan, so i want to make an objective judgement. I have seen the first 2 parts of this 3 part series, and i think it is fantastic. It is not all that biased, but there is a clear hatred for Neo-cons in the movie. I think it does an excellent job of describing how anti american sentiments developed among the terrorists. As for KWF saying that the movie says there was no al queda, i never saw this in the movie, and in fact it seems like they are constantly talking about how al queda does exist. Oh yeah, and the soundtrack to this movie has to be fabulas, we all loved it in my Politics class

Bush might ask UN for NK blockade
That would be a ballsy move. And Frankly, we don't have the troops to be getting into anymore conflicts, so i think at this time it is best to not instigate a fight for which we don't have the troops to fight.

An absolute idiot in my Y200 class
Last year in my POL 105 class, two kids decided to hand in the exact same paper with only their names changed at the top. They thought they could get away with it cause one was in the 9 oclock class, and the other was in the 10. Needless to say the teacher caught on.
