Dam, I like that level of honesty. Perhaps too honest to get elected, but I kind of like that.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:06 AM) Rahm Emanuel, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, excoriated President Bush for comparing Iraq's Parliament favorably to our Congress, while in Australia: It has long been the custom that members of Congress do not go overseas and criticize the president — that partisanship ends at the water's edge. But reading today's accounts of the President's remarks in Australia, it is clear he has a different view. Methinks Rahmmy has one more person to whine about. Meanwhile, Dennis Kucinich is in the Middle East: "US Democratic hopeful Kucinich meets Assad, blasts Bush": Kucinich, a strong anti-war opponent who trails far in the US presidential polls, also said he won't visit Iraq on his trip to the region because he considers the US military deployment there illegal. "I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," he said in an interview in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. "I will not do it." Kucinich, who accused the Bush administration of policies that have destabilized the Mideast, met with Syrian President Bashar Assad during his visit to Damascus. He said Assad was receptive to his ideas of "strength through peace Pathetic. Exactly.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) I had over $19,000 in student loan debt, and that was almost 20 years ago. These kids must be getting a bargin! I'd be interested in how they arrived at that number. All graduates? All students? All with loans, including or excluding those without any debt. That is always the problem when reading a number like that, without knowing the sample population, it is meaningless.

We had an entire thread on that gesture. A High School yearbook was recalled and stickers placed over all the hands IIRC. And again Mr Fla seemed to have all the names for it.

We went to war variously to secure WMD and to remove a dictator. Both have been accomplished. Now we keep adding factors. That is GOP rhetoric for continuing to fight. It isn't burying our heads in the sand to determine that nobody can solve centuries of bitter animosities between groups. It isn't burying our heads in the sand to believe that our Troops are better resources when they are available to meet a different enemy than bogged down for a decade or two in Iraq. Bin Laden is in favor of tax cuts and capital punishment. He's in pro-Life and strong on law enforcement. All are nice GOP attributes. Shall the GOP drop those because they happen to follow his message? Does this mean the GOP is Anti-American?

Again Kap, what is wrong with both sides wanting peace? That's the only way to end a war. I thought the GOP loyalists wanted peace also.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 08:28 AM) Hey, thank you very much for proving my point! I appreciate that. But of course, it's a "slap in the face" to admit that for "Democrats". And I'll say it for I think now the fourth or fifth time... the RHETORIC spewed is LIKE THAT of Democrats, not that "all liberals are like Al Queda". I've said it over and over and over after my initial post which was done on the way out the door and poorly worded. Why is it so bad to have both sides wanting peace? I guess my post regarding embracing killing people is pretty damn close to GOP rhetoric after all.

Sorry Jas. Losing a pet is tough.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 08:11 AM) Assholes. Can't wait until they get charged with a crime for it. ^^^^^^ Trying to decide if it was staged or not, these seemed real.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 04:48 PM) I'd be proud of my kids if they worked, went to college, looked good, and were featured on national TV too. In her bra and panties demonstrating her favorite manual stimulation with two of her buddies?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 08:08 AM) That's true to a certain extent. part one or two? Or both?

Amazing. I wish I had the time to check another source or two. That seems so one sided it almost doesn't seem accurate.

This does not address the biggest problem facing us. We can find enough immigrants we like to be Doctors, software engineers, and similar, but we just can not find enough acceptable laborers. We should slash this funding and force Americans to accept these jobs Seriously, now comes another round of tuition hikes which will wipe out the increase as far as the students wallets. They will still need the same debt. This will help schools way more than it helps students. We accept debt in this society.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:03 PM) LOL, nice one. Did you say something. I've been watching your avatar . . .

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) As long as you can squeeze your walker in either one works for me. Don't forget your sweater, you know how cranky you get when the a/c is too cold, and yes we'll go for the early bird special so you can be in bed by 7

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) Someone take this idea and run with it. New restaurant theme: Cougars Similar to Hooters but instead of teeny-boppers, hot MILFs aged 35-45 are the waitresses. Nice Hey Jim, should we get a booth or a table?

This is not an expense, it is an investment. And if all goes well we'll have the best educated manual laborers - citizens in history

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) I think it's safe to say that Shaq's ex-wife is going to be useless to every other guy on Earth. I'm talking pencil and hallway type stuff here. Are you sayin' the milkman couldn't deliver . . .

And looking at mom, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 11:08 AM) We also need the Man From Mars to stop eatin' cars, and eatin' bars, and maybe we can get get him so he only eats guitars. Get Up. She* was soo hot in the 80s *I know her name is not the band name . . .

Her parents must be so proud.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) Hey, I'm not the one saying s*** that used to be what people would roll in their graves over. JFK and people of his time have to be rolling in their graves seeing the Democrat party of today OPENLY embrace defeat in a time of war ALL for political power. It's not for debate, it's not for "the good of the country", it's for POWER. Let me tell you something, since you're too young to get it: when people in MY government openly and brazenly work against people who I know personally that are in harms way by statements like "OH LOOK, WE'LL GAIN SEATS IN 2008 IF IT KEEPS GOING [LIKE THIS]" - that's a mighty f*** YOU. I have NO respect for representatives of MY government who in my opinion border on treason by agreeing with talking points of Osama Bin Ladin. To you, it's just political discourse. To me, it starts becoming personal when I see stuff like this. Then people like you wonder why I get so cynical and "sarcastic" when it comes to the Democrat party. Today's Bin Ladin tape pretty much explains why - especially when I see Schumky Schumer and Harry Reid RUN for the cameras to try and grow a backbone, all for political power. At that point, they are not worthy of political discourse, as you put it. But, you'll never understand, because you believe what you believe, and that's okay, though. Good for you. Talk about hyperbole Bin Laden thinks we should lower taxes. You treasonous bastard for agreeing with him.
