QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 07:17 AM) What my point was in saying what I said is there are risks and always will be ANYTIME you go into the military. However, the politicization of the IRAQ DEATH COUNT NOW AT 3,1XX is disgusting, because there's deaths no matter when it is, and I find it interesting that there were more "peacetime accidental deaths" over a 4 year period then there are during "combat years" specifically in Iraq that we hear EVERY DAY in the MSM. That was more my comparison, and I also think I made that pretty clear by saying that I realize the numbers are indeed "skewed" depending on how you want to use them. Are you claiming that it was more dangerous to be in the military in the 1990s than now? That if we could magically leave Iraq tomorrow, that there would be more dead American military over the next year?

My current favs, not necessarily how I think they are running Edwards Obama Richardson Clinton DeLay (hasn't announced, needs to be drafted) time '08 Romney McCain Newt Guliani

Think Mel wrote that himself?

I actually think he deserves a place. Think he'll wear a Sox hat?

At some point I have to think the Goldman's need to move on before this kills them.

Obama rakes it in from Hollywood A-listers More at link. Of course money is almost everything. This is only the early money, wait for the big events to kick in once a candidate is decided.

Yep

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) I'm highly dubious as well. What battles cost us 3,000+ combat troops in the mid 1990s?? Maybe by "lost" he meant they couldn't find their destination and thus GPS was invented

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Interesting stat: we lost more troops during the mid 1990's in "peacetime" then we have in Iraq to date. I'm not diminishing the value of any of these lives, but we certainly do get a count for Iraq pretty quick in the MSM during these debates.. I'd like to see those stats. when and where were the mid 90s deaths?

Musically I don't care but it is a great party when they hit the stage and this is my favorite VH lineup. Much better than Van Haggar

tough to tell a grown up they are grounded and stay in your room, no matter how large a room it is. Add to that the sudden withdrawal of thousands of people cheering your every bump and grind, and some people discover they can't deal with it. Add a lot of money and people who will agree with the celeb to keep from having to get real jobs and viola, train wreck in aisle three. Read Wired about Belushi's life.

You hit the nail on the head when you said commonplace. News is the unusual. There should be some checkout at bars, I really like that idea, my brother would probably be alive today if Softball City in Grayslake, IL. did that. He later registered .21 at the morgue. Thinking aboout the parents, Coming home at 2 am to a party, I'd probably yell first and think later. I can't hold them too responsible. They are probably feeling pretty bad right now.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) I think almost all of them, on the subject of war, want to save lives. Bingo. The question becomes which saves more lives, leaving quickly or increasing troops and trying for a quick victory.

Not that it is right, but people have to go to school, they choose to get in the car with a drunk driver. Perhaps unfairly, we place some blame on the victim in this case.

I will be surprised if donations go down. Circle the wagons against this attack! Donations may increase.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 12:34 PM) Makes two of us. After knowing someone who as a mom at 13 (and then again at 15 ad then 18), I am just not sure what to think. on one hand I support making parents accountable and notification rights, on the other it's a gross invasion of her body, ripping her body from her body against her will.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 01:24 PM) One problem with simply granting another license - the cost of entry, the "moat" if you will, for satelite radio is enormous. Way, way, way, way, way higher than conventional radio. So the only way new licensure is not ridiculously costly is if one of the existing businesses goes into bankruptcy, and the hardware can be bought for relatively cheap. Maybe not. Aren't competing cable tv suppliers using the same cables?
