C'mon! Somebody make a Snitsky joke!!!

No, it's my fault.

^ Well there ya go.

http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/...columns_id=4003 This was a nice read about Luger and a pretty solid defense.

Arn and Tully and ALOT of cheating. Woot!

I was thinking the crowd could turn Hogan heel for acting too much like a face and Austin could do his old "act the heel til they cheer me" routine.

The judge acknowledged such a risk but said "the education and debate that such publicity will foster will strengthen our purpose, and, by enabling such deficiencies as may be perceived to be debated and corrected, show our strength as a vibrant and functioning democracy to be emulated."

You know, if you want to get topical, I could point out how many liberals defend Cindy Sheehan, even though at this point it's glaringly apparent just how mentally disturbed she is, and that only serves to paint the left with a wide brush that they either are, or at least sympathize with, dangerous, irrational socialists. Here's my problem with criticizing Bennett: I don't care if people want to roast his nuts over a fire for saying what he did, because as I said in the thread on the OTHER board, even if there is some statistical truth in his words, his remarks were stupid and poorly made (to make an understatement) and there was no way in hell they were going to be received any way other than they were. But for that bitch Nancy Pelosi, or for Harry Reid, to DEMAND that the White House condemn and apologize for the remark is pure lunacy. That's in addition to Y2Jerk's point about how Congress shouldn't be condemning someone just for voicing an opinion. It's not the job of Congress to be silencing unpopular (even racist) speech, and it's not the White House's responsibility to apologize for every stupid move that some conservative makes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You might be surprised to hear that I agree with you on many of your points. This really isn't THAT much of a hot topic issue considering there are alot more important things to deal with these days. However, defending this dolt isn't going to make Republicans look any better in the racism department. No matter how many stats and figures right leaning people use to try and justify his talking this crap it was still a shitty thing and WRONG thing to say. Worthy of no more of a response than "You know what Bennett? You are a fucking asshole. Fuck off. Nobody is going to listen to you again." But the scary thing is there are people defending him as in that believe he is right to have said what he did. And that is just plain dumb.

Wow, this situation with Christian is such bullshit. I'm not even that much of a mark for his work. Damn if the guy didn't get his legs cut out from underneath him. Really sad.

Yeah, it really is. It's an entertaining hour or so. When they get to the interviews, showing the highlights I was on the floor laughing at the sheer nonsense. Keep in mind there is alot of confession that indeed the guy did make quite the impact. Which is why it is so sad that he became who he did.

What are you pissing and moaning about now? The Democrats WILL exploit this for political gain, and the photos will be used as propaganda to drum up support in the Arab world for Islamic terrorists. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course they will. As well I say they should. If Bush and company don't want to do it right, if they can't keep their shit together, then they deserve all the grief they get. It's the conservatives war Vyce. Deal with it and own it. You do know it's POLITICS right? Besides my point was that the media spotlight will be shown upon the Dems response and completely overshadow the horseshit that took place in the prison. Nobody really gives a fuck if the Dems do or don't pick this up. It will become THE issue, distract everyone nicely, and go back about its business. THAT is what I am "pissing and moaning" about. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You hit the nail on the head, the media will spin this story as if it is a Democrat vs. Republican issue, when in reality, what it is important is stopping what is going on in these prisons, but that will be overshadowed by all these media outlets as they will have their typical (D) "show the pics"" vs. ® "traitor, sedition" cardboard guests on the show. It will be turned into an argument of whether the pictures should be shown or not, when the real issue is what the pictures reveal about our policy or lackthereof concerning prisoners. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A quick response, but I disagree. I don't think they show much on our 'policy' towards prisoners (Which sort of is turning it into a political issue, as you see Cheesala wanting to accuse Bush because, well, it's obvious he ordered these). Nor do I believe that it is 'necessary' for us to release these pictures. There's a decent argument that by releasing these pictures, we do a lot more harm than anything else, and it's only bringing attention and more drama towards what seems to be more of an isolated event (I don't think anything even close has been even accused of coming out of Gitmo). I do love the reasoning that "These should be used as propaganda against us", despite the fact that this was not actually us, but more a group of fucking sadists in US uniforms. But... I think that we should be as open as possible. There's something to be said for that. While I don't share the enthusiasm of Cheesala for these pictures, and I definitely see it as an uneven tradeoff (We've already been incredibly open about Abu Ghraib, what more do we have to prove), I think it's okay to let these out, though it's really kicking a dead horse at this point. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There you go stuffing words in someone’s mouth again. I never said George W. Bush personally handed down the order to rape children. However, as COMMANDER IN CHIEF who's CHOICE it was to set this war in motion I do hold him responsible for putting the pieces on the board that allowed this to happen. Conservatives are going to learn that these types of actions will not be tolerated. That Iraqi/Arab/Muslims ARE in fact people just as deserving of respect dignity and LIFE as you or I. No more casual disregard of "collateral damage". No more jokes about glass parking lots will be given credence. The Bush Admin is too fucking stupid to realize that when shit like this happens it only makes us look worse! You can't talk your way out of it. But apparently the expectation on the media is to do what? Ignore it? Sorry, not going to happen. Accountability is too important. Credibility is everything when we are trying to "win their hearts and minds". And if it turns out that these photos and videos show what we have been hearing they show, then those accountable should be brought down and punished. No amount of spinning of "isolated incidents" is going to help win this fight. We need credibility to do what they say they are trying to do, and Bush has none. Enthusiasm? You are out of your fucking mind. Maybe thats just the word you use when someone is sick to their stomach.

If he had just said something about poor people, but not JUST "black babies" he might have got SOME flack but it wouldn't have gone as far as this has. Considering who Bennett is, and who he used to run with, don't you think the right-wing would be doing something more along the lines of distancing themselves from this? Instead they defend him! Which just paints the right with an even wider brush that they are all rich white bigots. Which not all of them are. But hey, defend away.

Government control of industry is socialism. How about industry control of government? Where does that fall?

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/09/30/D8CUKRH04.html Bennett: Black Abortions Would Lower Crime Sep 30 10:37 AM US/Eastern WASHINGTON The White House on Friday criticized former Education Secretary William Bennett for remarks linking the crime rate and the abortion of black babies. "The president believes the comments were not appropriate," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. Bennett, on his radio show, "Morning in America," was answering a caller's question when he took issue with the hypothesis put forth in a recent book that one reason crime is down is that abortion is up. "But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down," said Bennett, author of "The Book of Virtues." He went on to call that "an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky." Responding later to criticism, Bennett said his comments had been mischaracterized and that his point was that the idea of supporting abortion to reduce crime was "morally reprehensible." Bennett was education secretary under President Reagan and director of drug control policy when Bush's father was president. ------------------------------------------------------------- See? We all just got the wrong idea. So everything is just fine now. Resume your normally scheduled crime rate.

Dames was a good guest. This was a good episode.

Oooooh. BURN!

For you guys that don't like it: Do you think that perception could change the longer they have quality matches in the 6 sided ring?

Episode 3. By far.

Oh goody. Just another reason for a separation of church and state. Sorry jesus freaks, you have to wait outside.

bad day. Unless your me. Which it is now a very good day filled with funny shit.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050929/D8CU70KO4.html Senator Demands Bennett Apology for Remark Sep 29, 6:52 PM (ET) (AP) Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., pauses during a press conference on Thursday, Sept.... Full Image WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats on Thursday demanded that former Education Secretary William Bennett apologize for remarks on his radio program linking the crime rate and the abortion of black babies. Bennett responded that the comments, made Wednesday on his "Morning in America" show, had been mischaracterized and that his point was that the idea of supporting abortion to reduce crime was "morally reprehensible." The author of "The Book of Virtues," answering a caller's question, took issue with the hypothesis put forth in a recent book that one reason crime is down is that abortion is up. "But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down," Bennett said. He went on to call that "an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky." On his show Thursday, the anti-abortion Bennett said he was "pointing out that abortion should not be opposed for economic reasons any more than racism ... should be supported or opposed for economic reasons. Immoral policies are wrong because they are wrong, not because of an economic calculation." Reid, D-Nev., said he was "appalled by Mr. Bennett's remarks" and called on him "to issue an immediate apology not only to African Americans but to the nation." Rep. Raum Emanuel, D-Ill., said in a statement, "At the very time our country yearns for national unity in the wake of hurricane Katrina, these comments reflect a spirit of hate and division." ----------------------------------------------------- Oh wow. You just gotta love the candid mind of a right-wing buffoon. I'm sure I'm wrong on being offended by this cuz I'm probably taking this ALL OUT OF CONTEXT!

Least we'll know who REALLY is doing the "pissing and moaning". Oh how I yearn for the days of "Unmitigated Bullshit"

You don't say steroids on WWE. Ever.

I think the entrance set is important to the people who work in the company as a way to send the message "See, we ARE growing up". Since TNA is still a really young company they need these milestones to help establish their identity as a promotion. The 6 sided ring can help in this respect too. However, I understand why some might have reservations about how "American Gladiators" it looks. Perhaps the longer they have really good matches in the 6 sided ring the more that impression will fade. I do think its great they are only using one entrance now. They do need to be able to stick more fans in the crowd. More fans equal more and louder responses. They have been doing real good as of late. Strike while the iron is hot.
