Flag draped coffins are NOT the same as saying someones name though. True, but I like the NYT idea though. A national newspaper. Avaliable almost anywhere, listing their names. IG

If I remember correctly one of the news shows spent a 1/2 hour or so just reading the names and caught flak for it. Remember the uproar when they wanted to publish pictures of the flag draped coffins? or just broadcast them over the televsion coming in? The media is a bit skittish these days about anything that could offend certain people. Private Ryan and the FCC and all that. Could you imaging the uproard from the governement if the
Coming this week to ESPN!!! Texas Dreidel !!!!! IG
Been there, done that. Well, my wife did. My oldest flinched and she cut too deep. All was well. Just forgive yourself and keep it in mind for the next time. IG
I try to find insight into situations from either TV or music. (I love TV). When it first happened I liked the Sheehan idea. A mother of a dead soldier wanted to talk to the man who sent him there. It had a nice grass roots feel to it. A "folksy" step back to another time when two people could talk about their differences. Then she was joined by others. I thought cool. A visual representation of the desire of people who want to talk to the pre
The USA wanted to bring the war to a quick end because of the Soviet factor and demonstrate to Stalin that if they have used the Bomb once , twice, they will not hesitatye tom use it on him. Thus the Cold War. True and also to bring the war to a suceessful conclusion with the least number of Amerincan c
What they were thinking when they throw the bomb over the town of Hiroshima ,did they know the kind of destruction and how big it would be ? Yes, the Trinity test on July 16th gave them a glimpse of what would happen, however the Trinity Test was done under controlled condiitons. No one knew if the bomb could actually be dropped and work correctly. They knew what would happen, they just did not know IF it would happen. Did they think
The Drudge report says: The NEW YORK TIMES is looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts. The children are not the issue, how Roberts came by them could be. There is no need to be insulting. IG
Now tell me how that would be: 1 - Illegal It will not be known if anything illegal was done until it is investigated. Could be that nothing was wrong and it was a false lead, or it could be that they were adopted illegally and Roberts used his positoin to influence the process. As I said. It may have t
The NYTimes are investigating the adoptions God, remember that housekeeper nonsense. Some housekeeper gets paid under the table or has something not right with her immigration, and the nominee gets booted. That got a litte nuts. You may be right, strings might have been pulled, we won't know un

I get NASA TV, unfortunately I was working and did not see it. I know it can be boring to watch in general, hour after hour of watching mission control and that large map. But the walk would have been interesting. IG
Perhaps it’s me. Maybe I expect too much. So I would like to bring this to your attention. Earlier this morning, at a altitude of over 200 mines above the Earth’s surface, a man in a space suit left the confines of his spaceship and did repairs to the outside of its hull. But here is the part I find fascinating. NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT !!!!! <
If democrats would just let a vote be taken, then these actions won't be necessary. Dude, I am with you that Bush has the power to do it, but you don't think there isn't a little presidentail nose-thumbing going on here. You can almost here it: "Nyah-Nyah I got my way anyway!" Questi
Ah yes. The backhanded compliment. My mom is a bit diffeent. My mom uses sniper rifles. Little jabs that you don't see coming. A question about discipline here, work ethic there. She so so sublte that i know she zinged me, but after a few days I cannot remember the words. I love her very much, and she has wonderful people skills, but Tact is not her strong suit. Tact to her is the blue card in the poker deck. Take care Texas.
In general I agree with you, as long as it is done with some modicum of restraint. I do not want to see two lines at Airpoports, but there is a need to view certain passengers more closely than other. IG
On senators and the like? Hell yes! They are "elected" officials! Judges? Hell no! They are "appointed" by whoever the current admin is. But if we elect the senators, shouldn't they not reflect the will of their electorate? Aren't the senators our voice in the governmental process. With regards
Would you deny many of your fellow citizens the right to have justices that reflect their opinions on the matter, rather than your own? No, but their views and my views really don't enter Robert's decisional equation. While everyone would like a judge that reflects thier views, the more important thing
hypothetical question on potential future True, not about future cases, but a question regarding how far the president's powers extend in times of crisis is, I think, pertinent. <TD class="mb-Body-Quo
I dont think it is the senates right to pry into his politics. But a person' spolitics form their views. Perhaps not nit-pick, but get an idea as to how he stands on general point of ideology. We do not have to ask him about internment camps, but maybe ask him if the main focus of Hamdan could
You don't know when the phrase was uttered. The investigators could have lifted up the metal to examine the place where the bomb had detonated. OF couse we dont actually know the police siad it at all. IG
Not the SC ruling per se, but Robert's support of the President in giving almost a blank-check with regards to the holding an prosecuting of terrorists. I know that desperate times call for desperate measures, but the SC does at times go a bit "overboard" protecting the state during a "war". If Roberts is confiremd and holds these ideas of Presidential powrs I can easily see an abuse or maytbe unjust use of that power down the road. I am wait

I think the two wars America has started in the XXI century are the biggest mistake in its history. OK, for clarification, which two wars? Light of the World, the Land of Liberty. You do not think that the general populus of this country or the citizens who desire entrance, do not see it as a Land of Liberty? IG
