Guess what? It already has. So you can give up that one. Sarcasm. Look it up in the dictionary. Although, you do get my apologies for your tradegy. I think, however, you could see your way past to give in this case considering, I hope you had help and suppor
Wow. You all also realize we're the most wealthy country in the world right now? So, it's not like we don't have the money to do it. Hell, 1 billion dollars is 1/1,000th of the unit of money that the US debt is measured in, trillions of dollars. So, the argument that it's going to put in more debt is sorta like arguing a dollar is going to hurt after you've charged $1,000 on your credit card. And before you make the argument that that's a flawed ar
Happy New Year. I trust you all had fun, drinking champagne (most of which isn't really champange, but that's completely another article) and signing Auld Lang Syne (cyber cookie to anyone who can tell me what the hell that means...no really, I wanna know.) and hugging your loved ones, kissing your sweethearts and generally celebrating 2004 being over and 2005 beginni
Before we begin the article's meat and potatoes, as it were, I encourage you to go here for my full political blog (some sites like Political Machine don't have Fear and Loathing in America posted) for what might be some of my best stuff ever: Link Today's article comes from here: <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/1
One at a time: I'm sorry, Solnac. I didn't mean to take over your blog. I got carried away. I'm so angry at this collective lying that our government is perpetrating. And, I'm so angry that so many people are buying it. I'm angry. It's ok. I enjoyed your comments, they summed up a lot of libera
Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Merry Hanakuk (yes, I know I butchered that), Happy Kwanzaa, and Season's Greetings. (That'll cover most everyone.) I say this knowing full well those are the last words I'll say that won't be taken completely the wrong way. Do you remember the last time you turned the news on and there wasn't a mention of the word terrorist or
It'll never happen. Yeah, some doofus said it, maybe, but it'll never happen. Pat Robertson is playing Chicken Little, and once again demonizing everyone who doesn't believe in what he does/doesn't have Jesus in his heart, etc. The reason it'll never happen is for the simple reason of if the fire doesn't get contained, it gets spread. If the fire spreads, it'll leak into damaging state funded buildings and those buildings will begin to burn do
*yawn* There are people who care this much about this issue? "Washington Monument looks like a part of the male anatomy"...yeah, in the same way lollipops do. No one particularly cares, and espically not on Christmas.
*yawns like a cat* Why are you guys so disturbed? Freedom to assemble/speech...that's somewhere in that Constitution thingy. They're saying they don't agree with Bush and that he's a crappy president. Neither of those statements I disagree with. As for 'respecting your president', our president ceased being a deity somewhere in the Nixon era, from what I understand of history, and espically during the Clinton
Link I'd like to take this moment and say that to those who are defending the Secretary of Defense on this forum or say that the response the soldier got was adqueate that if the problem was truly licked, Rumsfeld should of done his homework or said something else besides
However, Ann Coulter doesn't have the visibility of say Michael Moore. Define visibility. The only real difference between the two is that he made a movie, which is kinda what he does as a documentary film maker. I see her books everywhere and I've seen her
Hey Solnac, I can't say I agree with much of what you said here, but I will congratulate you on your entertaining way of writing it down. Don't go to Canada, we need to keep a few liberals around, just to keep it interesing. ;~D Well, thank you. I try to keep things light and amusing enough 'roun
Everyone's doing their Christmas specials on TV, I might as well blog mine. We'll have a liberal perspective of the news, a fair amount of Bush bashing around the eggnog, and enough conservatives whining about how liberal I am and how I should move to Canada to fill a DVD of Christmas goodness! You don't like it, this happy reminder exists to remind you that it's my b
You are right, once the euphoria of such an all encompassing political victory wears off, we Repubicans will realize that the curtain is open and it's critic's night at the opera Ted, you got it! I'm really happy about this, acutally. I don't want to see this country go the wrong way as much as any Repu
Dear Republicans: I realize we don't agree on much if anything at all. Common ground is not what I call the difference in our politics, and my feelings on the matter is I shouldn't have to confirm to you and you shouldn't have to be thrilled and confirm to me either. So, in the spirit of Christmas, and because I know your leaders won't listen to me anyway, I
Well, what about Ann Coulter? A partisan hack... You make the start of a good point NJ but... She did not help conservatives lose the election either... you know why? because we won... ...and had you lost, you'd be blaming Ann now. *shrugs* Ted Rall speaks no more for us sane Dems than Ann C
And, as to Clinton becoming Sec Gen of the United Nations do you really believe that will happen????????? Nah, but it's been conjecture enough. I was being slightly teasing there. <TD class=
The Republicans aren't the only ones who were dealt brutal setbacks this week...the Democrats seem to have a battle from within. Is it time to replace insiders with deals with corporations and make it the 'people's party?' The DNC chairmanship is coming up and there's a huge call for removing insiders. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/12/09/democr
Are you *totally* incapable of saying *anything* good about President Bush? dr. miler: He's alive, breathing, and I'm happy he's both. He made a few excellent pep talks after 9-11 happened. There, something good about Bush. Oh, and I don't necessarly disagree when he said we needed to make taxes simple
Why should "I" have to tell you? I'm not the one who made the original statement. I was asking the one who did. Why don't you ask him? Well, it seemed like you *knew*....that would be the obvious reason you posted that statement, unless you did it just to be ornery, which would make no sense and hav
While they are led around by the Bush administration....Not every pentagon decision goes through Bush. And if your manager at work told you that you were doing a crummy job and you need to move your butt, you wouldn't? I don't see why the DOD wasn't all over this at the get go. <TABLE cellpa
Lee1776, you posted fascinatingly, so I'll cover this one issue at a time: It is just interesting that some people are suddenly so worried about vehicle armor, when they just got done wanting a man in the Presidency that had a track record of Anti-Defense and even voted again
That's baloney! There will *always* be fool reporters out there who would do it anyway. Somebody always has an axe to grind with Uncle Sam. ...You know, I'd almost say the opposite. Abu Gharib happened for months before it came to light. If anything, the rep
This fact right here kind of makes me wonder if it actually happened? If it did happen the way they said it did then why did no american journalists get into it with them? I wouldn't call that damning, necessarly. Maybe the other reporters were afraid to go head on with the military. Maybe they'd be afr
