Theory: The taped "murder" of Nick Berg was intended to deflect criticism of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Regardless of whether it worked or not, if that's what happened, there would indeed be a conspiracy to put the tape out there. It is odd that such a carefully crafted piece of film would not only be unsuccessful in its original aim, but would be this easily found out. Obviously, they had banked on people ignoring the "conspiracy nuts," so t
He's not very ape-like, and he *is* married. Very much so. I can't speak to the number of times that he has drunkenly wrestled with greywar, but I'm fairly certain that they never did on a balcony. As for the Monobrow thing, he had it waxed right before he went to the WWLC. He has been touching it up since then, tweazing it himself. I think he's afraid that waxing it again would lead to those embarassing red marks on his face. I kinda wanted t
I don't know. It seems shameful to talk about this sort of thing, with as terrible as the incident on the video was. On the other hand, if the allegations were true... fnord.
Monobrow update: last night he added Kahlua and Rum to a Burger King chocolate shake... What about plum wine?
Woops. Not *this* class, sorry. I don't get to see any of the other students in my Government class; it's all online. I meant the class I'm physically sitting in all day, down here in Geo-gee-yuh.
And reading the body, my mind still tried to wedge it into one of Slim Shady's songs... yikes indeed.
This is interesting to me because both "equality of opportunity" and "equality of results" are outlined in the first chapter of my Government text book, and the two ideas seem to polarize people to Conservative/Liberal and therefore Republican/Democrat lines. I'm not *entirely* sure what the controversy caused by this situation is. It undermines the importance of the convention... basically, in all but legal fact, Kerry is going to be the official
SSG F got into the field late (with her flunky Criminale) because of working on the Supply Room, and I think they missed part of the second week as well. But she didn't even stay the one night out there (IIRC), as she had to go to a Jerry Sprin.... go home to deal with family issues. Hey, that goes back to Greywar's other article about having families and children: she was able to get out of the field problem due to having "family issues" i.e. no on
It could be worse... I read the title and instead got Eminem rapping it.
There was a sample of a citizenship test in our textbook as well. I knew all of it (yay, public education). Maybe I'll type it out some time and give it its own post. Are you in the market for a new citizenship? Do we offer dual for Brits? Coincidentally, I'm in class with 3 members of the RAF and one British Army Corporal...
And the answers to the multiple choice and T/F: 1. e. both governmental decisions extend to the whole society and governments can use force 2. a. widespread acceptance of the government as necessary, rightful, and legally binding 3. b. can be an effective stimulus for change in a democracy 4. b. to ensure happiness 5. b.

They really like that definition of politics in this book... Okay, here's the multiple choice and true/false, and the essay questions. I'll reply to my own article with the answers (and the essay once I write it), but see how well you do without peeking. 1. What distinguishes governmental politics from politics in other institutions in society?<
No, there's mercy. You just have to cry "Uncle." Or "Daddy." Whichever is more appropriate for the situation.
From second hand information, the Air Force spends a bit more on the maintenance of their bases than, say, the Army does. When Air Force personnel stay in Army barracks, they get paid a housing differential to make up for slum-like conditions relative to what they get normally. I also hear that many of the onpost services get more funding than equivalent Army programs. Not to be all doom and gloom, but does the Air Force look at the dream sheets
Oh, good. Here I am, off to read it now...
No money for sugar. See, I would've thought it was because you were "sweet" enough, in the pants. What else was that camel doing to you?
And I'm radioactive... not too surprising, really.
Huh. I was going to say that Farrakhan wasn't there when you took over, but she most definitely was. Have I mentioned I'm very bad at timelining certain things? Let's see, my favorite quote from her... oh, yes. She's on the phone with her daughter (~15 yr old?) and is discussing her sister (the aunt, who was "watching" the kids and house while we were in the field): "I know she's not laying with no nigger up in my house." So, she left t
I've heard kamikazes named as a girly drink before. Oddly, it was Monobrow that was saying it. There was that one time that my brothers, some friends and I ran the karaoke bar out of lime juice due to kamikazes... But my oldest brother usually has used them to get unsuspecting girls drunk, so, there you go. Maybe the ones that don't really taste at all like alcohol are automatically "feminine"/effeminate/girly?
Blame Monobrow. And apparently it's mostly straight on Thursdays.
Project much? How about these: Buttery Nipple, Oatmeal Cookie, Flaming Nazi. After I had all three of those in one night (thanks, Monobrow), I definitely officially classify them as "stupid."
Lassie, please don't think that I feel you couldn't kick my ass. It's just that it would be such a sweeter ass-kicking than I would get from some of the testosterone-laden alternatives. Gerry, don't feel too far out of your depth. I've never been "on the ground", and it wouldn't really lend itself to this discussion anyway (IMO). Really, the way its military might behave is more a political consideration than anything else. And, greywar, I k
There's some pot-kettle-bandwagonery I'm not quite jumping on here... whatever.
