I do know that Hannity has went four times. He was bragging about that two weeks ago when blasting at John Murtha. For the other's I only know they claim to have went there. I respect Robin Williams alot and could see him ulitmately filling Hope's shoes the best he can. But when even the likes of Snoop-dog is willing to go, it is a shame that more respectable stars are not willing to go. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

From the beginning the when the Pentagon's Chief of Staff was forced into retirement by Rummy, Bush got false or over-optimistic estimates of the number of forces needed to do the job right. Steve, that old line was false even before it was dreamed up. General Eric Shinseki became the Army Chief of Staf

"Running" the DNC--mainly fund-raising--is not the same as influencing political action. Reid and Pelosi do that. It is Dean who decides what candidates receive DNC funding and where to set up Hollywood Star power fund raising/campaign events. I do think unfortunately in modern politics, money out shin

Some want a secular government while others want an Iran style government. That some wanting an Iranian style government is not the Iraqi Shiite Clerics, Sunni, or the Kurds. There will always be those nuts who want a Theocracy as a Government, but that some is not the established churches in Iraq (a l

P.S. since my editing of this posting is not operating, I want to add this bit of info: The Iraqi Shiite Cleric leadership decided that politics and religion is to be held separate. This is a Fattwa from Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Read more of him below: Under the belief that politics and religion should not mix, he has been openly grateful that the United States toppled Saddam Hussein, and believes Iraq should be a democracy, provided there are direct elections, which

If thousands of Iraqis protect in Iraq supporting the Shiite leaders decision to keep Politics and Religion separate, and no MSM reporter reports it, does that mean it did not happen?

Hay Gene, take a look at this article in the Tehran Times news: Link Iraqi Shiites protest against Al Jazeera Read through and notice the reason for the protest. Around 5,000 Shi'ites gathered in Sadr City in east Baghdad, held pictures aloft of revered Shiite clerics and chanted anti-Jazeera slogans. Some unfurled a banner reading "Al Jaz

The Chief of the Guard said the Guard in the U S had only 34% of its equipment with the remander in Iraq. Much of the Gurad equipment is in need of replacement. I guess those 122 out of 124 authorized vehicles in my back motor pool is a figment of my imagination. If you want I'll go back there and take

Iraq was a piss ant. But he was still a piss ant willing to kill Americans on a daily bases. Or do you not consider American servicemen enforcing International treaties not American citizens? You are crying for those servicemen's lives on the line today, while not willing to do anything about

Did someone come knocking on your door and forbid you to celebrate Christmas? There is a major difference between keeping religious songs, displays, etc out of public schools, govt. buildings, etc. and someone telling you it is inappropriate to celebrate Christmas. Ditto!

I never ask the ladies I am dating what their religion is. I figure if things went further, that was what was important. Me neither, but since going on a Mission is a major life time event for Mormon it don't take long for the subject to arise. Another sign of their religion is that their wh

I even heard someone this week call themself a Buddhist Christian.???? There is no such thing. But you can be a Buddhist Christian. Buddhism really a philosophy, not a true religion.

What is very interesting is that the CBS News earlier today was calling an article on Bush's numbers as: Poll: Bush's Ratings bottom out Now a few hours later they have changed the article to Poll: Bush's Ratings Bump Up I guess it took CBS News a little time for it to sink in that they will need to report this as an up turn that it is. Can't hide it anymore ya know.

Oh, and if you dont think that Catholics are persecuted just as badly, more so in many instances, than Atheists, you have not lived in the rural south.

The thing that a lot of people seem to forget is that the constitution guarantees a person freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

Unemployment was 3.9% in 2001. Gene, The unemployment rate was 4.7% in 2001. I think you are talking about 2000 that was 4.0%, just before the tech bubble burst. But yet again you fail to put every thing into historical context. 3.9% lasted for three months (again just before the stock bust),

At no time did Clinton propose to use U S Ground Troops to remove Saddam. But the Bob Woodward book, you like to quote from, says that the original Iraq assault plan used in 2003 was ordered built in 1996, and then pulled out for some reason to be revised in 1998. It sounds to me like the Clinton admin
