Girls, you're both pretty.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 06:00 PM) Doesn't attacking the sitting president in that manner have that effect? Surely he knows this. I'll remind you of that in 2009.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) What else would you call people picked up on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq? Well if they were Afghani or Iraqi, soldiers?

Funny how we keep saying funny when this isn't really that funny. Hm. Funny.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) You know why that happens? Because it was ok for that asshole to do the EXACT same s*** GWB is doing, and it's an OUTRAGE when GWB does something, but the Clintons were "different". It's simply noted to point out the hypocracy of jumping on every negative bandwagon possible about this president. It gets old, and the defense, at least for me, is to point out your own damn party does the same s***. IMO, they're all assholes, current president included. I hate our government as it exists today. I love our country but I hate the political hackery and bulls*** we are subjected to on a daily basis from both sides of the fence. Pick and pick and pick and pick against the current administration, and turn a blind eye to the same bulls*** that was pulled 8-10 years ago, and it's hypocracy at its best. We're just here to remind you that the same crap was pulled - and you all want to change history or forget that any of that happened. 10 years ago, I was 18 and more concerned with the latest Britpop CD or catching the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Sorry, I wasn't paying more attention - I'll try that the next time a Clinton is in office.

Funny how you think human rights and being forthright equals coddling.

I was talking about Randi Rhodes.

That book is just a sequel to "Bringing Down the Clintons: A Guide to delegitimize a Democratic Presidency."

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) you are correct on the west... however quote " Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks White House delays in disclosing Dick Cheney's shotgun mishap are evidence of a vast West Wing conspiracy to stonewall journalists and voters. " Sen Hillary Rodham clinton THINKS...ARE EVIDENCE OF A VAST WEST WING CONSPIRACY and for the record...what she said is right. This has been the most secretive administration in my lifetime. You quoted the article, not Hillary. Newsday is a tabloid paper.

And no one could ever accuse you of that either. If we're treating them so well, we shouldn't be so afraid of letting the world see how well we're treating them. So many of these suspicions, so many of these accusations that are probably blameless would be taken care of sooner if our government was more willingly forthright. The war on terrorism is essentially an image war. Who we are and what we believe in will ultimately cause our side to win - as long as we stay honest to our beliefs and show them to the world. Because we believe in the best things - those things which grant human dignity to all and we believe in basic human rights for everyone. We shouldn't discriminate between foreign combatant or Prisoner of War or US Citizen. We believe that all men are created equally. As such, we should treat them so. And we should let the world see clearly that this is exactly what we're doing.

I can't wait to get tickets to see my world champion white sox play in baltimore this year. and hopefully new york and boston. I want to see at least three sox games this year - even if I don't make it back to Chicago before Christmas.

They always were. The music industry "pirating" problem is a problem only for the big business "rape the artist" side of the industry for the most part. Yeah, I download music. But if I like the band, I buy the CD. Or I go to the show. But I support the artists I like, period. If I don't I stop listening to the mp3, because it and they suck.

I feel the same way about Ann Coulter.

Far right doesn't equal conservative. Far left doesn't equal liberal.

I thought that the fourth quarter numbers led many people to believe that rates would continue to increase regardless of who was at the helm at the Fed.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Did they tour it? If not, they screwed up. As far as contacting prisoners, I think the US would have been smart to allow them some limited contact, instead of playing the blockade game again. That might have helped defuse the situation a bit. Well, that's the point I think.... if all you're getting is a guided tour of Gitmo what's the point really? It's like taking the visitor's tour of the White House and writing and exposee on the life of Presidential staffers. They probably saw it as adding nothing. And in reality, they were/are probably right about that. But you're right too. They should have made the tour.

She's a scream but a flamethrower. Pure and simple. Entertaining though, even though when I listen - I do grimace.

The UN did ask. They were told they could tour the camp, but would not be allowed any contact with the prisoners.

A multinational organization opposes a prison camp for foreign fighters whose host government says that international law (Geneva Conventions) don't apply to their treatment and refuses to give them any legal process. And you think that's wrong.

You're wrong about Wisconsin. Al Gore got 48%, John Kerry got 49.7%. New Hampshire Al Gore got 47, John Kerry got 50. Ohio Al Gore got 46, John Kerry got 48. Colorado Al Gore got 42, John Kerry got 47. Nevada Al Gore got 46, John Kerry got 48. You're wrong about NM too. Al Gore got 48. John Kerry got 49. What does that mean? A whole lot of nothing. It means that a relatively small number of people (with the exception of Colorado) voted more in one direction than the other. 2 percentage points doesn't consist of a seismic shift of anything. It might also be explained by the power of incumbency on the side of the Democrats in 2000 and on the side of the GOP in 2004. It might also be explained by the fact that more people liked Al Gore than John Kerry. Or it might be explained by the fact that the GOP really really turned out. Elections are won on the ground. And turning out your base which is what the GOP does is the key to winning. When the Democrats come back to that, they'll start winning too. I'm waiting to hear the Dems have lost 5 of the last 7 elections again. Conveniently forgetting that more people voted for Democrats in three of the last four elections. This bulls*** polemic is still bulls***. Oh yeah and the "liberals attacking Bush for something they supported" is not a very good argument either. Because you're saying the Democrats are cowards for taking the President at his word, and getting angry when the President was wrong - and possibly on purpose. Please.

Happy birthday bud!

Bush's core will never stray off the ranch. Period.

K then, how about Pat Buchanan?

There are still only five bands I'd see there.
