Adding 2000 representatives would be unwieldly. Germany had nearly 700 representatives in their version of the house and they felt the need to cut back. I think we could handle, at most, a doubling of the number of representatives, but I think expanding the chamber by a couple hundred would do well for the country.

Uh... thank you!

Last time I checked, Bill Clinton went through Impeachment. I'd say that's being held accountable.

Actually I was just being flip, thanks. But if you really wanna get into it, I'll bite. Tires got slashed in an obviously poor attempt at election fraud. The kids are arrested and assuming they're found guilty, they'll go to jail. As they should. But, the White House Counsel who authored memos in 2002 promoting the use of torture was not held accountable when the same methods surfaced in Iraq and in Cuba. Numerous White House cabinet members have directly lied under oath, and what kind of accountability have they been held to? Very solid allegations of vote tamperring did happen in Ohio. Not enough to affect the election, but that shouldn't matter. Those responsible, including those responsible for the election itself should be held accountable. Instead the Secretary of State in Ohio is instead thinking about running for Governor. There are a lot of problems in this world that our administration is not solving, there are a lot of problems in this country that our administration is causing. And unfortunately one too many sheeple are taking their eyes off that and on to stories about kids doing something wrong and being punished. I'm sorry that I can't get too outraged about kids slashing tires. Maybe its because I see my freedom being eroded before my very eyes, my social security being tossed asunder for a crisis that doesn't exist, and a smash and grab foreign policy that makes the world a more dangerous place rather than a safer one. But when it comes to politics, you want to focus on slashed tires. Good for you.

I know you secretly listen to Hanson and 311 in your iPod. Cred my ass :-P

If he had autologin he wouldn't be here.... Wait....

It's actually true. For quite some time, bestiality was legal in more states than sodomy. Which is odd because bestiality is technically sodomy.

Torture: OK. Perjury: OK. Vote Tampering: OK. Tire Slashing: Jail.

Because its technically a biohazard. Throwing an aborted fetus in a dump is about as safe for your groundwater as me bleeding in your hot water heater.

Seriously, this ain't the stonecutters or something.

Or maybe they just have a life and don't need to post 20 times a day like Southsider, Tex, or lately, me.

So do we, to be brutally honest.

Why? Because you're thinking it too? I know I lost what last vestiges of my indie street cred with that post.

I may be a bleeding heart, but ain't nobody can accuse me of being a pacifist at least when it comes to national security.

It's not. I guarandamntee it. It's myth building. Its building Zarqawi up to the same level as Bin Laden... remember all those stories you heard about Bin Laden being miraculously untouchable in Afghanistan as a "freedom fighter?" Its the same crap designed to make him a living legend among the assholes that would support him.

Wars are never pleasant.

Mythbuilding.

There are some neat Krupp ones I thought.

When I first read that, I thought they meant John Madden in the towel. :puke

My coffee maker is the best. You should try one. I think the brand name is: Dunkin Donuts.

Other schools have summer holidays as well, and the average summer vacation isn't nearly as long as it used to be. When I was in first grade school would end around Memorial Day and start after Labor Day. By my senior year, we started three weeks earlier and ended two weeks later. The problem isn't adding time to the school year, its giving students the tools they need to learn and creating a culture of education. Something we haven't done in a long, long time.

I ask myself that question every day.
