I couldn't find any statements from the Congressman's office about the incident you are mentioning, but back at the beginning of March, he said: Congressman, this Pledge of Allegiance case is coming up. In your opinion, should the Supreme Court order the word "God" be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance? MCDE

Rude customer: Waiter, waiter! This chicken is bad! Me: (picks up plate, spanks chicken) Bad chicken, bad chicken. You let me know if this chicken gives you any more trouble, ma'am. LMAO--that was hysterical--of the "spewing diet coke all over my computer monitor" variety! thanks for the lau
Why the #^&$ did you write that in white? are you trying to drive me over the edge????
C.C.-- I wish you were right, but the peasant article was only two days ago.
do you mean wholly as in 36-24-36 or wholly as in completely? lol. sorry. I was thinking complete, but you are free to picture what you'd like
holy crud I don't know why I thought you were a guy it's a common misconception around these parts, but I'm wholly female--sorry to disappoint.
yarrr matey, no plank walkers ere' on me vessel! Taik a side oor git oaf. Tis no time fer undecided fence walkairs. **jumps off plank, holding her nose--doesn't enjoy the "water up the nose" feeling which, in her mind, is much worse than the "being eaten by alligators" feeling**
And moral on the home front is a....political concern. So it is indeed politically motivated, to not show images of coffins. never said it wasn't--everything in life is political, or can be argued in to the political universe.
I think you're definitely right. nice work!
Let me just say that I'm not saying I support the policy or the reasoning behind it--I'm sort of undecided. But, there is a difference between "knowing" that people are dying, and having the pictures in your face on every tv and newspaper you see. I'm sure that the Department of Defense knows more about troop morale than I do, so I am going to defer on this one. However, I do not disagree that morale on the homefront is VERY importan
TOURISTIFIED.... e.g. "This town has become so touristified, that you can't find the 'local' folks!" TOURISTIFICATION... The ongoing process of a town/place becoming touristified. I like those--describes perfectly where I'm living--I think my vocabuarly's just been expanded.
It is my understand that the policy is not out of concern for the families (that would be far too altruistic!) or because the Administration is trying to hide something (This isn't even a GW Bush policy to begin with--though it's being enforced with far more rigor since the start of this war). The policy originated so as to sustain troop morale. The idea is that if you show the mortuary at Dover over and over again and the troops are seei
Shades of gray is great but not always useful as a practical matter. Glad to see that we are in agreement about my greatness! I'd like to think I'm useful as well
dude~ look it up!!! but then take this definition... a descriptive name given to any male stating respect that one man/woman has towards the subject male. (eg. Hey dude, that's totally awesome!) huh? I think "dudes" can be women...I call my female friends dude all the time--it started as a sarcastic jo
Do you really have to believe SPM's stuff to enjoy reading it? I find it all quite amusing. I don't find the majority of his stuff amusing at all--stories about beating your wife into submission and firing peasants for no good reason (and then asking how they should be physically punished) just don't b
a descriptive name given to any male stating respect that one man has towards another. (eg. Hey dude, that's totally awesome!) hmm...I disagree that "dude" has a gender bias, but that's simply my two cents.
Carebear, There's a lot of history behind the SPM debate. Yes, you can prove that he isn't always telling the truth-- At one point, he listed the companies that had him on the board of directors--someone, I think it was Karmagirl or JillUser, looked them up and he wasn't even mentioned.
Jill: I'm back for another fun day at your house, I see lots has gone on while I was away. I ran to the market and picked up some Resolve for that juice stain . Also, I brought some bagels and coffee--playing the hostess all the time can be a drain on the budget, so I thought I'd pitch in. Looks like there's a bit of a mess to clean up from last night's gathering--I'm
If you left, who would make me laugh? for example: May I suggest a domain change www.politicsresponsibleadultsuser.com? I thought that was hysterical... Keep entertaining me...I enjoy reading the political stuff, but your articles ground me, and keep my life perspective health
Shades, you laughed because I am funny. Simple. why didn't I think of that? Not only funny, incredibly insightful as well!
You dont have any irks that trouble you Shades? or you are at peace? Oh, I definately am not totally at peace (is anyone?), and some people definately get the better of me, but I'm like Nicky...quick to temper, quick to forgive. I don't enjoy being mad a people, and for the most part, I don't li
I would really like it if a lot more people read it though hey, i'm reading, just not commenting--didn't really have anything constructive to add (as I clearly just demonstrated).
Guess I'm the only one who does dumb thin Not at all...there are just so many, that I can't think of which ones I should list... But here one from the opposite end--I waittress parttime--there have been a NUMBER of occassions that I have asked guests "what can I get you to drink" when they clea
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will. Just for the record, In <I
The release says they are not responsible That's just to convince you to not file. It's like the waivers that people make you sign saying that they aren't responsible for your death--they don't hold water.
