Yes. Everyone that goes to college is an idiot.

The sad thing is, much like with Clinton's 'wag', Bush is actually hitting terrorists this time.

Wag the dog.

Bosnia & Kosovo are nothing comparable to the current Iraq situation re: nation building. And besides, if Clinton had in fact set a policy of nation building it would have been in step with the longstanding philosophy of the Democratic Party being liberal/big govt. Now, with the Bush Administration actually doing this, the most 'big govt' thing a country can do, it shows the switch that is taking place. Really, the closest comparable Administration to the current would probably be Lyndon Johnson's...nation building, massive spending, civil liberty/personal rights erosion, & a credibility gap. And, in an unrelated bit, I'm still waiting for the Liberal Media to mention a certain three words in regards to the recent bombings of Somalia. I'm not saying I disagree with the bombings, I dont, but a little fairness would be nice.

Sadly, Pearl Jam wont be at Bonnaroo after all.

Looks like we're all a bunch of browntongues.

The gay stuff DOES fit into the big/small govt switch. Trying to pass legislation banning gay marriage equates to new laws and more govt power. The usage of it as a wedge political issue might not fit, but the attempts at new laws does. It is an example of the Republican Party, in this case being steered by their hardcore religious constituency, moving towards bigger govt. The abortion stuff...Republicans, again at the behest of religious folk, are trying to create new laws that would strip power of American people & put with the Govt. If Roe/Wade ever were to be reversed, it would then see the same type of things happening as the federal agents raiding medical marijuana clinics right now. That medical marijuana stuff is another big example of the big/small govt switch. Guys like Duncan Hunter & Tom Tancredo pushing hard for big fences around the country is a glaring example of a move towards big govt. Of course, theyre much more supportive when jobs go overseas (or over the border). That policy is also representative of big govt, by expanding the tax breaks beyond our country and into factories in other lands. But, of course, beyond all of these things mentioned here...beyond the rampant spending of the recent GOP controlled Congress...beyond the Patriot Act/surveillance/etc stuff...the biggest example of the big/small govt switch we are seeing right now is the Bush Administration policy of, and the GOP backing of, nation building. I cant think of anything that exemplifies big govt any more than nation building.

How does that add anything to anything?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070125/ap_on_go_co/us_iraq The Dems are weary of Iraq reconstruction costs...this is furthering what I have said about a historical switch between the two major Parties re: big/small govt.

Flip Cup, indeed.

Despite his terrible record, Relford has only been stopped once and that was a 9th round stoppage against Davarryl Williamson some time ago. He's kinda like Mo Harris.

Tonight on Versus... Ulises Solis defends his jr. fly title against former champion Will Grigsby...could be pretty good. Tye Fields puts his fattened record up against Kendrick Releford's pathetic marks...should be a big ko if Fields wants to ever move on to HBO/Showtime. Middleweight prospect Andy Lee could make tv if either fight ends quick.

Political junky's fix.

"Why do you people care?"....followed by the longest post, by far, in the thread.

Republicans are now complaining about the Democratic majority being too heavy-handed. You can't write comedy as good as this.

I'd gladly take Carr if Favre does retire. Or take him even if Brett stays and let him learn learn the system for a season.

Bossman-Barbarian on the '91 show was insanely good considering the participants.

8. She was askin' fer it.

This is pretty funny/pathetic how they refuse to retract the story after they tar/feathered Dan Rather a couple years ago.

I dont mind the stereotype, personally.

"Irish" has been a very popular nickname in boxing for ages. Mickey Ward & John Duddy are the best recent examples. It's just carried over into UFC.

And it looks like instead of simply taking the quick/easy/not-quite-so-disgusting approach of simply retaracting the Obama/madrasa story & apologizing, Fox are defending themselves & continuing to repeat the 'story'

Since losing the election Kerry has done things like that & finally swing back against the swiftboat bullshit. Had he done both in 2004 he would definitly be President and a lot less Americans would be dead/a lot less money spent. At least he is differentiating himself from Hubert Humphrey who never could bring himself to let go of Johnson's war/nuts.

Was there a point to all that effort?
