QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 09:34 AM) Has anyone actually seen what happened on video? Because I'm starting to hear the account as less of a slap and more of a push than previous accounts. More along the lines of pushing her cell phone into the guard's arm or chest.... or something like that. But I have no idea, I was half listening to the radio when I caught that. Either way though, she oughta get at the very least a censure for this. doesnt matter if she threw a haymaker or if she poked him with her pinky finger- she still assaulted an officer of the law. the officer acted completely within his discretion and is not at fault. she should be charged and convicted. and i dont count saying that she "regretted the situation" as an apology. she needs to personally apologize to the officer (by name) and eat some goddamn crow. hopefully, her constituency will wise up and stop electing someone who uses american tax dollars to fly isaac hayes to Atlanta and to hold congressional hearings on who killed tupac. this woman is a frickin joke.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Just got home and got a letter from John McCain regarding taking action to fight global warming. I was quite happy to see that. Seems like the environment has been the Democrat's fight for the most part. I'd like to see a strong bi-partisan effort on this since it's so vital. Less talk and more action! yea, that will happen

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) You know, if she could somehow do something obnoxious enough to restart the House ethics committee, which has been almost completely shut down by a deadlock on both sides ever since the Republicans tried to change the rules of the committee at the start of 2005 and recanted in the face of public pressure, then I'd be more than happy to escort her out of the Congress. im sorry that you feel the house ethics committee has been ineffective lately. what does this have to do with a congresswoman punching a cop? how is that the republican's fault?

im about to go to bed because i am content that we have this one. a great start to the season despite the crappy weather. buhrle did alright, and i think he would have found his grove, and the hurt would have ended with 3 has he stayed in. b mac is pitching like a god. our O made me cream my pants. in conclusion, i got a great feeling about our team this year.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) Those were some damn expensive condoms! Not to run off on a tangent, but a few hundred million for education & condoms seems like a HUGE overkill, especially for a country the size of Uganda. Case of condoms per male? Class sizes of 5? Wow. like paul moonie said, brothers pack heat(chappelles show)

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) Perhaps she should have shot an old man in the face. you can only do things like that once you have already made it to the big show

http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=77991 correct me if i am wrong, but didnt she get headlines a few years ago for calling the president something outlandish, she said bush planned 9/11? i think so. she also said the us supreme court is racist. all i can say is wow. her and marion barry should get together, they would have so much in common and would make a great couple.

another 9/11 conspiracy? please.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189050,00.html interesting article. documents found also say that saddam expressly forbid oil wells being set on fire. it is somewhat bothersome that russia seems to be interjecting itself into all the controversies the US is involved in though.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) looks like you would have preferred the US to side with Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. why is that? your point is...

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 03:41 PM) Nope, you're right. Supporting terrorists is clearly the right thing to do. you are doing a lot of criticizing and complaining about our anti-soviet policy in afghanistan during the cold war, yet you have offered nothing that even resembles a solution. what, then, should we have done?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 22, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) Some of us believe they should have been higher on that list than Iraq. To bad they aren't as strategically interesting to our government. i will agree with you. and i appreciate that you used the word "government" and not "administration", which is accurate.

every conservative who calls this poll what it ought to be called is titled a whiner and verifies the results. you should ask me next if i still beat my wife.

http://reuters.myway.com/article/20060322/...-RIGHTS-DC.html i never thought it was this bad until i read this. and i believe it too. they ought to be next on our s*** list.

that f***ing stupid woman who slept with a 14 year old student or whatever is walking. yeah yeah, probation my ass. people who have sex with children need to go to jail, period. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,188646,00.html in conclusion, WE NEED MEGHANS LAW IN EVERY STATE. what the f*** is wrong with our country that we cant pass this law in every state?? you molest a minor, you serve 25, no questions asked.

well, essentially, we just disagree. i respect what you are saying, both about pipes and the defector believability. believe me that i am no pipes connousieur, but i saw that he was published and that he wasnt considered a fraud by the news community hence my conclusion that his is respected and trustworthy. i dont believe that our sources and intel were garbage. i go back to my "you telling me you are going to shoot me" analogy. at this nexus, me and some here part ways. i enjoy the discussion on this type of stuff. i know i get inflammatory on occasion (understatement) but if something i say seriously offends someone let me know, i dont mean to do that stuff here. respectfully disagree with you all.

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash2cnn.htm i love this because i hate CNN. i hate you ted turner!

sorry i just dont trust north korean official statements. its all pure propaganda. i dont think they can reach the US with missiles. if someone can prove me wrong, i will tip my hat to them.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 05:56 PM) I'm going to bounce back to this post and just point out that Saddam's "Defiance" consisted of not having WMD's, destroying a bunch of his missiles under the watch of UNMOVIC ("These are not toothpicks, this is real disarmament - Hans Blix) and allowing the UN teams unfettered access to every single one of the facilities they wanted in 02-03. wait- are you seriously contending that saddam complied with UN inspectors?! huh??! i refer you to my post on the pipes blog. saddam did MUCH more than what you are saying. you are leaving out a ton of s***. im not even going to give you a link to anything to back my claim up. just google "saddam" and let me know what comes up.

interesting. the only way that the the link i had to the daniel pipes blog was argued against was to personally attack pipes by lowercaserepublican that had no validity (if pipes is such a loose cannon, why is he allowed to regularly contribute to the NY post, the philly enquirer, etc?) and to say that former cadres and defectors of saddam should never be believed (without any reason stated; hey, didnt saddam himself say that at his trial recently? who believes a defector anyway, right? remember when we believed what some soviet defectors said back during the cold war? we were idiots for doing that too, because they were all liars and you can never believe defectors). way to address the merits!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 21, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Not a good enough reason to go to war. while it remains at this point unproven that he actually had WMDs, look to the testimony from a multitude of former saddam officials. saddam ordered his men to purposely go out of their way to create the impression that they had WMDs. and our intel reflected this. http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1271 (before you criticize this guy, he is a respected columnist who is published around the country's newspapers, both left and right leaning) are you going to argue that saddam was justified in creating this impression to gain tactical advantage over the US and other countries? when you continually threaten and allude that you are going to shoot me and go out of your way to create the impression that you have a gun in your pocket, i could reasonably believe that you are going to shoot me. what did saddam expect? you cant have it both ways, saddam, and thats why you are where you are now- in a jail cell awaiting a death sentence. so what was unreasonable about our intel's conclusions? perhaps something was wrong with the german intel that was mentioned above (namely that they had a latent anti-american socialist running the country who i personally think was doing business with saddam, like the french were). thats the euro way, to pussy out until you absolutely have to act and you barely avert dissaster.
