Their behavior was an embarrassment and indicative of the party's confusion. Also, the Democratic Response was nothing more then a feeble attempt at beginning a campaign.

I agree with Gid's comments. Not one of those movies was worth my time. For that matter I won't spend much time at movies because most are not entertaining and to often spread unhealthy messages. Course, I must admit, I love yummy movie butter popcorn.... M.Moore has always been a joke to me, by introducing Fahrenheit 9/11 nothing changed. To compound the joke, 9/11 was manipulated by the entertainment industry so it could get documentary status and acknowledgement even thoug

You fail to read my post AND don't appear to get the gist of the full NYTimes article without bias, ... GWB is NOT doing what your saying!!! The scientist, James E.

With all the conjecture regarding pay at WalMart one category of employee is over looked by the nay sayers...the Walmart Greeter. Avearge is 70 years+ and many are handicapped in one fashion or another yet want to be valued and work. In my book, anybody that shows respect and appreciation for our elderly by giving them jobs, gets my vote as a worthy contributor in our society. To add, WalMart was the "1st" in New Orleans to over come all obs

The point of the Blog was the way Bush deals with ANYONE that does not agree with his position. I am inclined to believe you're taking the words "attempted to stop" out of context to an extreme, and compounding the issue for those of us that seek more creditable sources of such a complex topic. You're

That is why status reports were created. Not sure of your knowledge of in country combat scenarios so I'll offer these thoughts. SOG runs by the most demanding time and Intel lines and they often change during an operation due to unknown variables. To add confusion, many in country teams are

Timetables are part of any effective planning. Open ended policies are NOT used by successful enterprises. I agree, but you're need for leadership to keep a promise is to static, making it unreasonable under the circumstances. After leadership sets a time line, you're failing to consider the unknown

I know of folks that support our troops in various ways, but disagree with the war on various levels. By their lack of public actions they make it clear they understand how fragile and important moral can be with of our troops. JS is nothing more then a typical media liberal that reflects little or no regard for those putting their lives on the line so he can set at his kitchen table and spout off. For the above reason, I quit reading the LA

After reading this over and over. I've come to the conclusion you're not writing about economics. You're writing about acceptance, try talking to your family. Quit the bombastic venture of putting words in the mouths of a population segment you read about on the toilet. What you think is worthy of debate is nothing more then flushing a toilet of distortion in hopes the socialistic toilet paper will hold true...guess what it's got holes. No

I have lived in Africa for most of my life and the greed and corruption amongst the "upper classes" never ceases to amaze me. I find this article interesting, but it's cause for question too.

You make some good points for this past alter boy to agree with. However, when it comes to the joys success bringing, we don't agree.

how would you stop our nation's deficit? Start by putting a moratorium on spending across the board including discretionary for five years.
