The story you might not have heard. Another coal mining accident, five more miners dead. Another non-union mine by the way. So four months after Sago, what's Congress done to hold mining companies more accountable for accidents and ensure better enforcement of mine safety regulations? Nothing. http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Politics/story?i...TC-RSSFeeds0312

Why should there be hard feelings on our side? We got the run, the win, and oh yeah, the ring.

Sorry, I misspoke. Regardless.

You think it might involve holding "people of interest" for years without interrogation? Regardless of what the riot in Gitmo was about, what's happening there is a national shame and against every ideal that this country is supposed to stand for or respect.

Sorry for my optimism, but I think a 12 year old is actually reformable.

So does this mean we criminalize his parents and remove his citizenship now?

Molina because I never liked Farmer, so anyone teaming up with him is therefore suspect in my book.

The DOMA which has yet to be found unconstitutional excludes same sex marriages from being recognized from state to state.

It's harder for me to "get" Ricky Gervais on the show. I think its more along the lines of which version you see first as to which version you'll like better.

Yeah, really PCU.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez' parents may have been illegal aliens. This came out during an interview on CNN so nobody actually saw it.

There are lots of differences between Truman and Bush. First, Truman was willing to investigate allegations of wrongdoing within his own administration. Second, the Truman administration was willing to change tactics of operations in Korea when it was apparent that things weren't working. Third Korea and Iraq don't deserve comparison. Korea was fought in a bipolar world regime where there was a legitimate need on the basis of US interests to combat a communist ideology and keep its interests alive and well in Asia. Iraq was an elective war, fought with an enemy that had no ideological bend and was sold as a central front with the war on terror. Despite the fact that the administration itself knew within ten days of September 11, that Iraq most likely had nothing to do with recent terror attacks against the US and had no serious connection with Al-Qaeda - the main non-state actor that we have been "fighting" for the last five years. The decision to go into Korea was an international one and for much of the fight was fought under the UN flag no less. That didn't happen in Iraq either.

Before this amendment can go to the states, it has to get 67 votes in the Senate. I doubt it will get 55. If you think this shouldn't be an amendment up for consideration, call your Senator then and voice your displeasure. My Senators don't support the proposed Federal Hate Amendment. Do yours?

Sorry, I have a hard time thinking anyone who's 12 is really doing something "in cold blood."
-
Soft? The kid was 12 when this murder happened. There is some debate about his mental competency to begin with - and what's more he violated his probation and he's being put away for 30 years.... I don't see what's soft here.

If we want to enhance border security we could start by actually funding border security staffing programs.

It won't pass. There wouldn't be more than one or two Democrats that would vote for this amendment in the first place and even Specter says he's going to vote against it. He just has to carry the water and force the issue through to the full Senate floor.

For those of you who don't know, the constitutional amendment to formally restrict same sex couple's partnership rights was voted on in committee today. You probably didn't hear about it both because you didn't care and because the vote was held in a small room off the Senate floor and not in the traditional chamber that the committee usually uses in another governmental office building. One Russ Feingold, a Senator from Wisconsin objected to the manner in which this vote was held, (all but behind closed doors) and walked out of the proceedings after offering a statement. Then he released this.

What an Fn idiot.

No. Just need to actually get fair treatment.

I'm thinking about going on strike at my job.

They estimate the speed at the point of impact was 540 miles per hour, less than one video frame.

Any DA that decides its a better idea to fight his battles with the press than in front of a judge does not deserve to be a DA. I don't know what's going on and frankly, these celebrity cases come too quickly for me. I'm still trying to find that highschooler in Aruba.
-
It's blatantly obvious that the media set a narrative regarding this and nothing is blatantly obvious except that the defense team is fighting this case in the public arena and that the DA's office isn't.
