cwsox, thank you for the link to Greeley's column.

LMAO What lawn ornament are you? I'm a

cw, Bottom line you cannot lie to the police. They get a little testy about that. If she had just kept quiet sge would not have had this problem. From what I read and heard it seemed obvious she lied about the phone call from imclones founder Sam Waxal (sp?) and the calls to her broker. Further she is not an inexperienced trader getting a tip from a friend. She was a very good stock broker in her earlier career. Still, being Martha did not help her with this jury. In a bit of irony. For comparison Mark Fuhrman framed a guilty man. Martha was convicted for lying about a crime she wasn't convicted for.

I was fishing the end of the open water season on the Fox chain. I had my father-in-law with me as we pulled around a point and stopped about 100 yeards from a small boat which was surrounded by dozens of ducks. It was obvious from their attire they were duck hunting (ok maybe it was the shotguns) After a couple minutes my father-in-law says "they must be waiting for the ducks to take off before shooting." to which I replied "I don't think decoys fly"

Nope, too big

Our constutution does not require anyone to speak with the police. You do have the right to remain silenced. If you give up that right you have to be truthful. Reading the transcripts I do not believe she was truthful. If she wasn't MS, and if Enron and all the other bs hadn't happened, we wouldn't be having this discussion. One of the juriors even said they were trying to send a message.

Anyone care to guess what this kid is doing?

Anyone know what this is?

Damn, that was fast.

Civil Unions for All I haven't really thought about all the implications but it does seem interesting. There is much more if you follow the link above.

Like anyone would open a thread titled 3 headed frog. Well then again, it is the off season. More pics

Have we not bailed out half of the middle east. Why are we not overflowing in cheap gas? :headshake

Wildlife experts in Britain are stunned by the apparent discovery of a frog with three croaking heads and six legs, Local 6 News reported Friday night. The frog was reportedly found at a children's day nursery in the English village of Weston Super-Mare in Somerset, according to the report. The staff at the Green Umbrella nursery first thought it was three frogs huddled together but after closer inspection they realized the frogs were joined together. A wildlife biologist said a reason for the three-headed frog’s development could have been damage to the embryo, according to a report.

Steve, That is a great combo platter of sig and avatar

Actually the FBI reports are per 1,000 individuals.

So far we've taken $100 from the treasury and returned, at most, the same $100. Using Occam's Razor: I was going to send $100 to Washington. We cut my taxes and I give it to a bank so they can make loans. The $100 goes to someone who pays income tax on that $100. So he sends in $20. It still sounds like a $80 drop in revenue to the US Government. Again, I cannot see how we can simultaniously cut taxes and increase spending without running up huge deficits that eventually must be paid back. Our politicians all seem bent on this free lunch of decreased taxes and increased spending. Nice con if you are trying to get re-elected. If we are going to cut taxes we need to cut government spending. We need a balanced budget amendment that actually balances the budget. We can't have all the loop holes that are used. The biggest fallacy that our government uses is basing the budget on predicted income. Imagine going to your spouse and saying well we can't seem to balance the budget. Well just change the incoome projection and it looks fine.

Cheat, the evil misquoter lol I am not convinced how much of the rhetoric about WMD, etc. was out and out lies. I doubt we will ever know. I do think we had some hawks in the Bush administration that pushed too hard to go to war. What pissed me off about Clinton's lies was when he looked in the camera and denied everything, I believed him. Sorry, he lost the last bit of respect I had for him. At the end of the day, the realities of partisan politics leaves me with a hollow feeling about all of our officials. As an example if I suddenly was a Democratic Congressman I would be at odds with them over Abortion rights, freedom of speech, paying for programs, and a few other issues. I jump across the isle and it would be Capital punishment, tax cuts, and other issues. But to get anything done and re-elected I would need their support and money. So I'd have to suck it up and toe the party line, and sacrifice some issues for others.

91? Is that confirmed? Man I was hoping for a big rebound. I hate to say it but, could he have been "working out" extra special when he had the heater really going? i.e. before we got him?

yes steve has an avatar and the tattoo is from the same person . . .

So who is paying taxes on this money? Remember we are trying to figure out how that $100 taken away from the treasury becomes $110 without anyone paying more in taxes? That is the question.

Of course to bring in more money to banks they increase their savings rates and the consumer earns more interest. Any I thought that was a good thing. Plus, how does that increase the $100 to generate more tax revenue to pay for all the new programs?

She may wish to practice polishing off a fifth of vodka here's a fun tip, bring cigarettes to jail to trade for favors . . . . . . it's a good thing

Sorry CW, I put Clinton's lies at the top of the pile of political lies. The moment he looked into the camera and said he did not have sex with that women, then started challenging what sex "is", he fell far in my eyes. And I voted for him twice. To paraphrase a Christmas Story "this was the mother of all lies"

Sorry, I didn't realize people were waiting in line for deposits so they could borrow money. Has anyone else been turned down because the bank loaned all their money out and needed to get some more?

He should have started looking for WMD
