QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) I'm not sure I'd agree that the Dems "do" the internet better. Yeah, Dean was impressive in his ability to use the internet for fundraising, but after his campaign last year, it seemed like the only thing that Dems did using the internet was try to raise funds. Can you recall a single Kerry email that did anything other than try to raise funds? I can't. There's so much more you can do in terms of spreading a message, keeping people on message, motivating grassroots, etc, that Kerry never did on his own. Places like ACT had to literally make up for the gaps in the Kerry ground game last year because all they did with the internet was try to raise money. I got six emails in the last month of the Kerry campaign that were calls to action and not about raising money. I did, however, get about 50 emails asking for cash too in the same time frame.

All I'm saying is that he oughta get the same rights as Saddam Hussein. Like being present for his own trial. Like making witnesses against him testify under oath. Otherwise, it's a kangaroo damn court.

Please don't take John Kerry, who's obviously rerunning in a doomed campaign for President, too seriously. What he said was "I'm going to do my best to make sure that we ask this guy tough questions and get honest answers." And then, he'll vote for him. Which is the right thing to do. The Democrats need to ask this guy, tough direct questions about his views on the constitutionality of this or that. Only then, if Roberts answers honestly - which he probably will, can anyone really say if the guy is too conservative or just right. The only thing he's ruled on that I really have a problem with is Hamdan v Rumsfeld where he supported the notion of trying foreigners in military courts with fewer rights than Saddam Hussein even has in his own trial. That concerns me. The rest, is the rest. I think Dems also know, if people try to corner him - he will more likely become more Conservative as a result (e.g. Clarence Thomas)

Girls in thongs* at the White House. (thong sandals)

The only real stumbling block he's going to have is the abortion question, and explaining his ruling on the very recent Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. This is definitely a choice I can live with. I don't know much about him, but - from little I've read - it looks like the President didn't play politics with this pick. Major props for that.

It's not like there's fighting in the middle east or anything, really.

Lawyers generally do what theyre told in court.

There's a big difference between civil disobedience through direct action and terrorism.

That doctor was the apple of my eye.

Stormy - by Classics IV? And how about "Convoy". That song just IS a disaster.

I've got friends in low places.

I'm going for Karl Rove.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's about bad weather and may last as long as the hurricane does. What about that song about that boxer by Bob Dylan?

And that's... how you get a library card.

I would say that the vast majority of Greenpeace members (>99%) aren't motivated to violence.

Shut it. You know the man just tryin to keep me down.

Talk to the hand, cause the face dont wanna hear ya.

Is that anything like touching my monkey?

Watch it, he who lives in glass houses....

I'd argue that the potential for violence is greater with the Minutemen than with the ACLU.

I heart my Scion xB. Saw one rear end someone at about 35 mph. Everyone was just fine!

On a string.

But a chickenwing.
