The Democrat Thread
Every book critical of the Bush administration must be a made-up money grab. Its impossible to consider that they really were as incompetent as all of these ex-officials say.

Police attack students on U-Pitt campus during G20 summit. Some of them are just students on their own campus walking by. This apparently happened at one of the more popular bar streets in the Oakland area, not anywhere near the conference.

US/Iran thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Fair enough - but I guess if someone was trying to kill me every day, I wouldn't think very fondly of them either. Cuts both ways, kap. Israel keeps them as perpetually occupied territory -- they're not their own state, they're not part of Israel, they're under strict economic restrictions, they're not free to move, etc. Israel's military excursions do far more damage than Hamas' s***ty rockets. This does not excuse Hamas or their actions, but a balanced view is needed. Israel is given a free pass on just about anything they want to do in this country.

US/Iran thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 09:13 PM) OK, by that same logic, where's the billions we are sending them going? OHHHH, I only get three guesses, and the first two don't count. Oh Isreal, they just make those poor people suffer so. Here we go again. I'm of the opinion that both sides (all three, if you toss in Iran) are a bunch of asshole who do s***ty things. No excuses for the Palestinians, no excuses for the Israelis.

US/Iran thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) Do you have any idea how much it costs to replace the stuff Israel destroys every few years? What are they replacing it with? Israel doesn't even let them buy concrete to fix their homes.

Who Does the US Government Serve?
I'd say that the politicians are working for themselves, which means they're working for the corporate interests that finance their campaigns, so that's why I said "business".

It was only a matter of time
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 09:32 AM) That's just not true. In fact, I'd say the majority of "those people" are the "bleeding heart" liberal faction. A good portion of the ultra conservative "bible hugger" group would also fall into that category too. But you can't pin that on just one group, as much as you'd like to. New York's proposed video game bill last year You have the over-regulative left and the religious right which hijacked the Republican party.

Hester reall has been a good receiver this year. He can actually run routes and has some great catches.

I don't think I've seen any current protest signs as dumb and nonsensical as "race mixing = communism"
