Is there even a non-salted version of El Ranchero tortilla chips? Every bag I have ever seen has a large banner that says "With Salt" across the top of the bag.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 06:12 PM) Excellent Vanity Fair piece looking back at the treatment of the 2000 Gore campaign and the assault on it by the liberal media. Great read. I've passed it on to a few friends.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) Just checking since I guess by your standards you have to be doing something to have that opinion on something. I am sure you are paying extra taxes and taking in all kinds of poor people so that they don't end up in the military, right? Eh, who am I kidding, you probably are just putting them through college yourself to keep them from enlisting. You have also probably joined tons of peace marches, organiations, and protests to have the opinion that the war is wrong, correct? Absurd, isn't it? Thenm again you would probably have a different opinion of the war if you family had been targeted for genocide by Saddam. Not sure what any of your analogy has to do with the war in Iraq. Where is your outrage and blood lust with regards to other countries with ruthless dictators? Why only Iraq?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) Yes. I highly doubt that. They recruit where they know they can find people to sign up.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 02:17 PM) So how many illegals have you taken in? I eat apples on Thursdays. Do you like playing monopoly?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 01:03 PM) So every person who is "for" this has to go enlist? OOOOOOOkay. I guarantee if there were a draft instituted a lot of war supporters like you would change their tune.

Sounds like a great cause. I hope there's a huge turnout for this.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 20, 2007 -> 11:14 AM) IMO, because we've had successes in settling a lot of things like this in a positive manner. The positive results far outweigh the negative ones if we are remotely successful and is worth the risk. Well then go out and enlist and help the cause. Our soldiers are getting tired from their over-extended deployments.

No Sledgehammer?!? This list is a disgrace.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Same reason why 98% of the news we see about candidates is about the top two or three in each party - laziness. Nevermind that those top two or three candidates don't have anything like 98% of the vote. I also think it has a lot to do with who can, or are perceived to be able to, raise lots of money.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 01:08 PM) Another example of the liberal media trying to make Thompson look bad. I guess he must really be scaring them. Sad they just won't let the American public decide and report on that. I honestly don't see why Ron Paul is being completely ignored by the MSM. He seems to connect with a lot of people.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) Not wanting to get into whether or not the taser was appropriate in this circumstance...let me just say that stating a taser is a non deadly weapon is simply false. In a majority of cases it is non-deadly...but there are more than a few cases where it actually does wind up being deadly, especially in cases of pre-existing conditions. Sending that much voltage through a person's heart is not a healthy thing to do, and it can kill a person. Drudge even has a link up right below the Kerry story today of a person who died after being hit repeatedly by a taser. That's also why I added that link in post #6.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 01:44 PM) So wait a sec, you are telling me that the police didn't react correctly, but you didn't even watch the video? Yes I did. I am going out of my way to make you miserable with all my posts. And fyi I watched a partial clip of the video so I didn't see if they pulled him into the hall or another room. I still stand by my thoughts that they used excessive force. This wasn't the middle linebacker from the Florida football team they were dealing with. The number of cops I saw in the video should have easily been able to handcuff this imbecile.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 10:15 AM) Kinda wierd how Kerry made mention that he didn't know the kid was tasered until AFTER he left. He couldn't see or hear him screaming "don't taser me! Don't taser me! ", and then his screams when he finally got what he deserved? Did it all take place in the same room? They didn't pull the kid into the hallway? I didn't see the video.

Was the taser necessary? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/12/...ain648859.shtml

Handcuffing and taking him away would have been sufficient IMO.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 09:09 AM) It would be even bigger news if they had killed their ex-wife and her lover and gotten away with it. And I did like how you picked that one line out of things, and ignored the rest of it. I picked that line out because it's ridiculous and false. Vick was never arrested for anything before and look at all the headlines he had. EDIT: I didn't comment on the rest of your post because I am not as informed on those issues.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2007 -> 08:57 AM) The reason the OJ story is front page news everywhere is not because he robbed and threatened some people, it is because he already has been in major trouble with the law before. If this were the first time he had been in trouble, no one would care nearly as much as they do now. So you think if Emmitt Smith or Dan Marino were charged with 10 felonies they wouldn't be all over the front page?

I would say Fox News is America's Al Jazeera network.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) It's on there. Everyone keeps telling me to check that show out, but I haven't seen an episode as of yet. What channel has reruns? Not sure. Best bet is to rent or download.

If the list only had one show, Arrested Development, I would have been satisfied.

Sounds reasonable IMO.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 11:40 AM) No (real) pictures yet? It takes the mystery away.
