My dog has no nose. How does he smell? Awful!

Good service, long term oil contracts, using cheaper airport gates, useful fleets, excellent publicity?

AirTran is also profitable on a regular basis as well. They along with JetBlue DO indeed have good business plans.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a...m_sex_parties_2 You know what's screwed up about this story? It's not even the mom having sex with her son's friends at orgies she threw. It's the fact that sexual assault in her case will put her in prison for less time than giving them booze. 40 year old having sex with a minor - 2 years in jail. Contributing to the Delinquency... (giving them booze) - 6 years in jail.

I think if he started to open his government to limited popular sovereignty, he'd find secularity would win.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) I was buying the attorney/client privilege line about the unreleased Roberts docs during Reagan and Bush I. But it sounds like such a privelege (sp?) may not exist in this instance. can anybody here give clarification on the matter? The attorney/client privilege shouldn't exist in this case - especially if its not ongoing. The counsel represented the US Government, not the President. Therefore the US Government should be rightfully entitled to any and all communications pertaining to that case.

I am more and more convinced that Musharraf is playing both sides. Which might explain why A.Q. Khan is still being coddled by the Pakistani government.

Accoridng to the latest news reports, it looks like kids were there. So tragic.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050725/ap_on_...h/un_ambassador Senate Dems have repeatedly said btw that they just want to see some relevant documents before being able to make a final decision on the nomination. The administration has repeatedly refused to make them available. You might see the same battle over Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. The Bush White House has already basically said don't ask for documents because you won't get them.

Four scout leaders were killed in an "electrical accident." 2 more injured according to Keith Olbermann and Countdown. No other details at the moment.

According to the Air Transport Association, 2000 was the last year the airlines as a group were profitable. At the time, the average cost of a gallon of jet fuel was 78.6¢. It's now $1.75.

From what I gather, it looks as if few youth will have seen it. I get the impression that this happened with staff members - who are all at least 18.

I'm an optimist. I feel that this is good for labor. There are a lot of people that are very unhappy with the AFL-CIO's complacency over the last 20 years or so and want to start a new alliance that is more proactive towards the needs of workers. Unity is only smart when you're united behind leadership that actually wants to further your goals.

Maybe they'll give smokers the ticket and leave us cell phone users alone then.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) And the Democrats are to be blamed because these were the core principles of the party until wackjobs took it over. See the quote above. Dumber than a box of rocks. Sorry, I was trying to get this discussion beyond a point of partisan hackery. I understand that you'd just rather blame the Democrats. My point is that there are men of action and men of character and good moral standing within both parties. And there are asshats in both parties. One party does not hold a monopoly on either. But you obviously can't see that because all you see is the need to blame someone. You parrot the talking points of the same people you claim to despise. It's all someone's fault. Why not blame the other political party?

John Kerry never missed a mass during his campaign for President. Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader, is a practicing Christian. Joe Lieberman is a practicing conservative Jew. There are lots of examples of people of faith working deep within the party's leadership. But that isn't the point. Coming out against a particular religion wanting to grab more than they are entitled to is not promoting atheism. Speaking out on behalf of people who are forced to accept religious teachings in their every day life that aren't their own is not promoting atheism. That is simply protecting freedom. And frankly, I don't understand how democrats pander to the rich when they run millionaires who basically say - I think tax cuts for my class is wrong - because frankly, I don't feel that my economic class sacrifices enough to make this country great. I don't understand how trying to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage for the first time in ten years is pandering to the rich. I don't understand how that's pandering to the rich. Maybe you could explain it to me. Are there Democrats in office who have been bought off by the rich? Absolutely. Take for example Senator Biden of the Great State of Bank Of America who helped put through a bankruptcy law that will hurt those people who can't seem to ever catch up on emergency bills - while giving a pass to credit card companies who charge insane rates of interest after offering credit to people who couldn't afford it in the first place. Sadly, there are Democrats who don't understand that you can have faith and not be a wackjob. Just as there are Republicans who don't understand that you don't have to be Christian to have faith. Or you don't have to be zealous about your faith and still have it. There are too many people in this world who don't understand that there is a middle ground between black and white on most issues. Most of them that are in government use that knowledge to maintain a grip on power that enrichens them and few others. And others blame the Democrats. Or Republicans.

Didn't they do that to the Ryan in 87 too?

Generally I wear the finest silk ascots.

I drive a car that gets 35 miles to the gallon. I have a second hand TV, a borrowed computer. My one extravagance: I have my own apartment.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) They should have given people 6 months notice and went from 2% to 3% ... with notification that in another six months it would be 4%. This just ain't right. There will be a lot of people put in a major bind. That's my issue with this. This is going to blow a 200 dollar hole in an already overstretched budget with myself. Why? Because I was stupid enough to think I could find a well enough paying job in my industry by working hard and paying my dues.

Hey wow, I'm gonna go broke in three weeks,.

It does look fairly fake, but still it makes me laugh.

Another picture that tells too much. Picture of Bob Novak and Karl Rove from June 2003. Karl Rove is wearing a button that says "I'm a Source, Not a Target."

He's not the brightest bulb in the Lite Brite box.
