edwards is probably the wisest obvious choice. id already typed ' john lewis (d-ga) would be interesting but perhaps too much of a gamble' before i ran a search on lewis and found his bio. its a gamble worth taking. if i were kerry id also consider john glenn. whats that they say about a 3-person short list? hahahahah

seems like a pretty fair recounting of how things got from there to here. despite a incredible leap in productivity that should have reduced average workweek hours by 25 instead of increasing them by 20. yesterday i read about a village a couple hundred miles south of mexico city inhabited now by literally half its normal population. the rest have journied to el norte because local farmers are lucky to get 16c per kilo for their corn and can no longer pay even mexican farmhand wages. pr

what both ideologies have in common--as manifested in real life anyway--is totalitarianism. while neither national socialism nor facism alone is the ultimate logical expression of extreme reactionary politics--which would be a statist oligarchy/monarchy similar to japan until 1945--juxtaposing them with communism makes more sense than considering them polar opposites.

in this case, yes. but modeldom trumps hair color. several weeks later, a brunette was led into my office and urged to ask me the same question shed just posed to the person who brought her to me. so she smiled sweetly and asked, 'have you ever heard of a guy named bob dylan? is he famous or something?" after meeting him in a bar and spending most of the night hanging out with him, she wasnt quite sure if it was worth bragging about.

heres a true model anecdote: i dropped by a shoot to discuss something with one of the photographers only everyone was taking a break and the person i needed to see had stepped out for a few. so im looking over the polaroids and i hear the following conversation... model 1: (discussing the thai food that had been ordered in) this is really good. i just LOVE thai food model 2: yeah me too. (long moment) where does it come from? model 1: hmm im not sure. (brig

it doesnt happen often that im rendered speechless, but ive been just sitting here for the past couple minutes rereading this over and over. it didnt make any sense the first time and now its making less than that. what makes this all the more outrageous in my view is knowing how effectively you checked out that pedo-decoy site and how much energy and effort you subsequently put into framing the problem and providing what seemed to me very sensible, solid information to help keep kids safe f

i can only offer my twisted perspective which isnt going to answer the question as directly as im guessing youd prefer. i dont like models (at least none ive encountered so far) for a number of reasons and although i know i shouldnt allow that dislike to project itself on women who just have the bad fortune to resemble models, its difficult. so ill pass on the anorexics in bathing suits (especially those with toothpick arms). other than that, i like all the other varieties, preferably without

[B]does not the president seem to be making law here?[/B] the justice department document is an opinion proferred to the president...sort of a position paper. for the president to act on it, he would have to accept that premise.

voles are little mouse-like rodents common to the wilds of north america unbeknownst to me (and possibly you or anyone else who hasnt been keeping up with cutting edge hormone research over the past 4 years), neurobiologists at emory university in atlanta have been trying to find out what makes prairie vole males such loyal mates while their close cousin male meadow voles are such...ummm....pr

[B]you should own "male guilt" for the hundreds of years that women were treated as lesser beings[/B] for quite some time, ive been trying to determine when and how it came to be that gained control of religion and medicine (both of which im fairly sure were for a very, very long time, a very long time ago the realm of women). there is no question in my mind women possess an extra sense and are superior to men in most aspects and no less than equals in the rest. rather than attempting the

sorry i wasn't as clear as i intended. i had to take care of something unexpectedly. in the case of your hypothetical, a person who is so obsessed with racial issues that he or she would attack a stranger in public for no other reason than race is clearly in need of help. the victim is likely to be traumatized no matter how well hes able to appear unaffected. and id be concerned equally about both parties. i wouldn't be able turn back time and prevent it. i would--and have--make sure i

[B]i dont associate the dreaded N word with race anymore, ie: accident of birth.

[B]If someone calls someone else the 'n' word in public, bystanders don't go away thinking, "Wow, that guy is an 'n'..." On the other hand the accusation of homophobia sticks; it is a label of character, and cannot be "denied" with any objective success. [/B] im equally concerned with both parties in this type of situation. the person who is slurred racially is as likely to become convinced he is less than human. i doubt very much that you would ever buy into an insult of any type but im no
