..been watching some animated Boondocks lately, dav? It was a well-done episode. No, I didn't know there was a show until I just looked it up. I've seen the strips of course. Is there an episode that relates to this?

Rumsfeld is the king of convoluted quotes. My personal favorite; The Unknown by Donald Rumsfeld As we know, There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know There are known unknowns. That is to say We know there are some things<BR

Reply to Foreign Port Ownership - Where is the Outrage? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Why are you singling out Hillary and Schumer? There are just as many republicans, if not more, who have been critical of the UAE deal? Because the GOP was opposed to the Cinda deal in 96? No, that can't be it because they weren't against it either. Hmmm...what reason could there be that it's ok for them, but not the Dems? I was about to say because you're a Republican. But you're not are you? You claim to be Independant, right?<

Funny how most of them appear to be democrats. Yeah, it's funny in the same way that most Republicans look to douchebags like DeLay and Cunningham as role models. We were having a reasonable discussion about Hollywood. Leave it to you to bring partisan politics into it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Wink.gif" border=0

And that's part of the problem, davad. When people go to a movie, they go to be entertained, not indoctrinated, and the movies that entertained were in relatively short supply this year. Idoctrinated? Come on, you really exaggerating. I found all the smaller films you listed (except for BB M

You can trust in your holy gods of pollsters all you want, but I think the facts speak otherwise. Those figures you quote are indeed facts. However, you can't compare King Kong and Chronicles of Narnia to those movies based solely on their grosses. The movies that you listed were not marketed as, or e

You can post your little polls, but the reason that people have shifted to home entertainment is because they are tired of gambling as much as you spend on a decent meal on a movie that is going to SUCK 80% of the time. I don't doubt that's why they're not going, I just fail to see any relation between

In a year that saw a larger ticket sale drop than anytime in the last 25 years (1980 being the year of "Xanadu" and "The Blue Lagoon"), it is interesting that Hollywood activists would choose such a self destructive career path. While it is not improper to ask that we as a society allow others to live their lives as they choose,

Like I said....skewed! Skewed enough to make Newsweek retract their story on it. I'm not finding anything about Newsweek retracting their story on this. Have a link?

This is an interesting poll from one of Zogby's data feeders, because the Army times did their poll in Dec and got this results: Less then on Year 3.12% One to Five years: 43.31% More the Five: 51.46% On opionon: 2.11% Lee, do you have a link to that poll data, and what the poll ac

I also think it's funny how Zogby's blaming his clients for his polls being skewed. Come on Daiwa, you know that's not what he's doing. People pay his firm to do some of these studies. When they are done, they own the results. They are free to release or not release portions of it. I've gotta run. I'll be back to finish off you war-m

If I misunderstood his comment, I apologize; but your evidence of its absolute accuracy? None. I never said the poll's accuracy was absolute. I said it gives us more insight into how the soldiers actually feel than anything else I've seen. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor

Your article wasn't about tired troops who don't get enough sleep; it was about unhappy troops who want out of Iraq. Don't come here and tell me what my own article is about. This article is about the poll results and troops wanting us to withdraw from Iraq within a year. I didn't say anything

So then if that's true, all the others could have been? Why not this one, too? Did you actually read what he pasted? It actually does more to show that the results are NOT skewed. What evidence do you or drmiler have to show that this poll is skewed? None

Reply to 72% Of Troops In Iraq Want Out Within a Year in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I think you'll find the content of this poll to be a bit skewed. From Zogby's own page: There's nothing in what you pasted that shows anything about this specific poll being skewed.

There are several "hunger strikes" going on in several prisons around the country. I have treated some of the inmates myself. They NEVER make the news. So what is gained from this one making the news? I already explained why I think this is "fairly" newsworthy, as opposed to the apparent multitude of hunger strikes going on around the country.<BR

Reply to I have to give up smoking. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I need to quit at some point too. It dawned on me the other day that I've now been a smoker for 20 years. That's more than half of my life (I'm 35). I have very little willpower when it comes to smoking and drinking soda. I've half-ass attempted to quit both a few times, but have never really committed myself to it. As sick as this sounds, I sometimes wish that I would start experiencing some health issues from it for motivation, even thou

We need to ask ourselves, why did this story make the news anyway? You really think this is a non-story? The fact that it's one of the first that will put the detainee treatment act to the test makes it fairly newsworthy in my book. It's not like it's a major front page story in the papers and

---davad Then it doesn't fit in very well with the article, if you ask me. Well, I don't think I did ask you. A picture of a tired soldier doesn't fit in an article about them wanting to come home?

how are these moderates going to get out the liberal base? as the liberala base goes so goes the candidate. Apparently they already have the support of the liberal base, according to the poll...there's still a long way to go though. I'm curious as to how the numbers would change if people thought Gore

I realize that what conservatives think doesn't affect who gets the nomination, I was referring to how they will be labeled when the time comes. They do a straw poll every month at Kos. The latest one; Link I really don't think Feingold, Clark, or Warner are "kooky left fringe".
