Reply to Toothpaste at the Dollar Store in Misc JoeUser Forums

True but almost any glycol derivative has a low but meaningful toxicity and shouldn't be swallowed in any quantity. Cough syrup is a very bad place to have it especially if it is being used as a drug to get high with (really common in Central America). You will find glycols in many product like mouthwas which are not intended to be swallowed. In fact most toothpastes have a glycol in them that is also poisonous, hence the reason that little kids need to be supervised with the stuf

Reply to Would George Washington Approve Of Gay Marriage? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I support gay marriage but I think it is pretty hard to believe that in Washington's day homosexual conduct would have met his standard as "worthy" conduct. It is always difficult to say what people long dead would have thought about issues today. Thats why voters should be allowed to vote on it. What would a dead president say about it? Who cares? He's dead.

Reply to On a side note... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I would echo Gideon's point and add that the best thing about your writing style is it's brevity. Most of us (definately including me) tend to write blogs that are too long for easy consumption. Yours are spot on and to the point.

Reply to Dan Rather Bashes Katie Couric in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I just find it amusing to watch Dan criticize CBS over letting the presentation trump the facts after his "fake but accurate" memos. Kettle, this is Pot. Black. I say again, black. Over.

Opening a Business and Letting it Fail in Business JoeUser Forums

Most people would find it unthinkable that a businessman would be willing to spend anywhere from $400,000-multiple millions of dollars to open a business but then be unwilling to spend a few hundred or few thousand more to help that same business succeed but it happens every day. <?xml:namespace pref

Reply to Domestic Intelligence in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

But it does no good to yell "wolf" when the programs are not spying on us domestically, but foreigners (who we may or may not be calling). Yes, the problem actually lies in a US Code for Intel Oversight which defines foreigners who are in the US as "U.S. Person" which in terms of intelligence oversight and r

Reply to Domestic Intelligence in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

Sadly, the lessons we have learned in the last 6 years is that although most people understand the concept of time, few can see beyond a few days or weeks. Such is the real lesson of 9-11. True enough, but there is a real concern even among intel folks about the viability of a domestic intelligence service. Gathering intel over

Lilek's Mentions Hometown - Greywar Unaccountably Excited in Current Events JoeUser Forums

For those who don't follow James Lilek's as a blogger or a columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune a bit of background: The Strib's circulation has been in freefall for a couple of years (like most papers) The Strib actually cancelled Lilek's column (despite it's popularity both at home and online) Then they actually considered f

Reply to Left Insane? Blame the Right! in The Media JoeUser Forums

In his rush to blame the Right for the Left's bile he at least forgot to Blame America First so he will likely suffer further excoriation from the Left for that omission as well.

Reply to The Long War Versus Terror in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

There is no way to explain the need because Americans do not respond logically. The same people who screamed "Why did the government allow this to happen?!?" on Sept 12th cannot understand the draconian efforts necessary to actually "prevent" acts like that from going on. They maintain that the government should have discovered the terrorists but don't wan't phone conversation monitoring. They say there were "lots of signs" but don't want their per

Reply to Iraq Insurgents Kill Two Missing US Soldiers in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Of course any reference to "Caliphate" shouldn't be in anyway construed as intent to create a global Caliphate. That would be a fascist assumption. Of course these guys aren't fascists are they? I wonder how the Daily Kos and the DU will celebrate these deaths?
