I still want the Addams Family pinball game in my upstairs office.

2.01 million annual units is still a DAMN strong housing market.

Again, maybe too logical... but come on... the guy had the weapons. Everyone knows it. So where did they go? Oh, let me guess. Clinton gets ALL the credit because HE destroyed them in 1998. :rolly

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Interest rates are going up, the market is not flourishing at all. Thats why they downsized. Interest rates are going up, yes, but they are still at historical lows. It's going from a BOOMING market to a reasonable market. If they had to cut back already, the company was horribly managed, IMO. There's still a lot out there in the industry, at least as I understand it.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) And I'll whip your butt just like the old days At Golden Tee? You wish. I'd whoop your ass just like Marion did Lake Central.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Dude my list is retarded so im not sure I will be any help. I just bought a new condo im going to move into so alot of stuff I want are house related. Like Golden Tee, Ms Pacman Cocktail machine etc etc. I know you already have it, but for others who want ideas, I have the pioneer xm 2 go unit, and seriously its my favorite thing of all time. You have Golden Tee in your condo? I'll be right over.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) I agree it woudl be interesting to see any and all of these. Some may well be forgeries and others quite old and of little use, but clearly these are documents that need to be sifted through by independent researchers. Better still if the original Arabic docs were retranslated by new translation teams as well. The big thing that suggests to me that there are few, if any, bombshell revelations in the docs is that if there were the administration would have seized on them long ago. I agree with that. There's a few unanswered things I'd like to have the answers to, which would make more sense out of this. Again, I'm not saying 100% of this is TRUE - but it would be nice to have more answers about some of these. The author says as much at the end.

I bet this article has been debunked 10,000,000 times now. But to me, there's just way too many unanswered questions this raises for at lease some of it to be of interest. This is fairly long.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 05:45 PM) Sorry to hear that Kyyle...best of luck finding a new job. That is some piss-poor timing too, a week before thanksgiving? Unbelievable...did you get any sort of compensation? Most of these beauuuuuuutiful companies time this s*** for November and December. It's really cool. :rolly

kyyle - good luck. You should find something ok in this market.

That's a whole different spin. And to prove a dr's negligence in that setting I would think would be difficult... but I don't know the details of the case, either.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) I think PACs are useful and constitutionally protected entities, and that goes for all sides, don't get me wrong. They should not be allowed to be financial determinants of election outcomes though. How to regulate them and reform how/if they can finance candidates, on the other hand, I have no idea. Maybe I should sign up for the info material and report back? Would that be a good idea just so we can all learn about it?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Death toll #'s...? But there's more people in TWO HOURS that died on 9/11. Don't get me wrong, all lives are equally important. Now I'll get the "but but but but but but but 9/11 and Iraq ARE NOT connected"... but they are. Iraq may not have been a part of the planning for 9/11, but they had a state-sponsored terrorist program, and the rhetoric for years was to sabre-rattle Isreal and the US. I'd rather all the people (terrorists) go into Iraq then here and kill more of us who aren't trained to be in a war setting.

You know another thing that I am sitting here thinking about? As much as I criticize the media about being biased, etc., THE MEDIA was clamouring for war just as much as the president if not moreso. My gosh, that's all they have talked about for years was when were we going to go to war with Iraq? I don't care what political party you are/were involved with, it was inevitable. The only hit that stuck to the wall at the time was the WMD claim, and that's what they chose to run with (both the media and the administration). Turns out, both were wrong. But by entire stance on this whole issue is everyone is so quick to blame SOLELY the Bush administration. And that's pure baloney IMO. The GOVERNMENT was a collosal failure as a whole on this deal, and yes, now the Democrats are politicizing the s*** out of it. For a year or more, Bush has said nothing, and now when he defends himself against the criticism, the "lashing out" and the "attacking" has begun, according to the same pawn media. How quaint.

QUOTE(mreye @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I said from the start that there were plenty of other reasons to go to war in Iraq (shooting at our planes in the no-fly zone, mass crimes against humanity, violations of numerous UN resolutions.) I said then that it is/was a gross miscalculation by the Bush administration to hark on the WMD so hard. I will agree with everyone here that the administration painted themselves into a corner on making that the cornerstone issue.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) 100% in agreement. No person, PAC, or industry should be able to buy themeslves or theyr guy into elected office. Interesting statement. Just this moring in my email box at work, I got a "membership letter" for a PAC. Oh, what to do, what to do...

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) So wait, are you saying that at the time of our invasion of Iraq that they had wmd? I'm just trying to understand here. No, I'm saying that the run-up to the war, he moved them, most likely to Syria. That's why all of a sudden, right at the end, he was so willing to let the inspectors back in. Sometimes, asking yourself logical questions instead of getting caught up in every political blog that supports ONLY your own position makes sense. I'm not saying that *IS* what happened, but it has to be a good possibility. Especially since there were communications intercepts of the supposed movement. But I suppose that's been debunked 6,343,474 ways from Sunday in xxxxx.com's liberal blog too.

Let's ALL take a step back and ask ourselves this question. Why or how is every single intelligence agency in the world is this wrong? Do you think that Iraq really had the weapons and they just got moved? Naaaaaah. Couldn't be. BUSH f***ING LIED. HANG HIS ASS.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) And interestingly...when you punch those names on your ballot...if you then take that ballot into a church...it will immediately wither and fall to the floor as a pile of ash. Um, okay... whatever.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 03:20 AM) Something tells me that Rockefeller didn't have that access to the Bush administration in 2002. And if he did, then he ought to be fired for not exposing an administration's lie to the public to pursue peaceful means to end that issue. OMG? Are you serious?

Wow. That's amazing.

Balta... I hear what you're saying, and I agree. The campaign financing is the heart and soul of what's wrong with our government today. That's why it's so corrupt is because money and greed and power are all bastardized to keep control of their precious "clout".

You do have to be careful with words. "IT'S MY OPINION that George W. Bush will go to war with Iraq" is far different then "shhh, but George has already committed to it..."

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) This is one of the reasons I became a Democrat first...but trouble is...both parties have plenty of IOU's coming from campaign contributors. Tons of them. Stacks miles high. Hell, one Republican congressman from California has snuck a provision into the Budget bill which would allow the government to sell off about 5 million acres of public land to oil, gas, and mining companies at virtually no cost. That doesn't happen for no reason. I don't know that it'd be constitutional...but I'd be fully in favor of some sort of public financing system for campaigns, even if it had to be created constitutionally. FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH...

I am serious with this point. The entire government is so full of s*** on Iraq, their eyeballs are floating.
