Im going to assume (hope) that was sarcasm gone terribly awry...

Of course! It was an ESParty!

I know! Why cant the reporter just read the mind of the victim? Then we would know if he deserved this!

Maximum sentence - 5 years...so what they did was almost as bad as some marijuana convictions.

Wow...you're like Barry Goldwater after a couple cups of bourbon. Too bad you lack the political sense that he had.

Where, exactly, does the money for such jurasso-conservative ideas come from? Putting up a crude barbed-wire fence around a barnyard can run thousands...I can only imagine how much a massive, heavily guarded, wall would cost to build. Of course, we shell out at least 50 billion a year fighting that devil, marijuana, so its likely to happen.

The Democrats and the Liberal Media must just be too busy to bring this up...

Didn't the Republican folk dissaprove of the Kosovo stuff?...I cant seem to remember if they were called 'terrorists' or not...

Yeesh.

Judging from the people I know who have read it, and the boring creatures pimping it on TV...I agree with Czech without bothering myself with reading Da Code.

Oops.

Have you actually seen what an inner-city school system is like? Such as Baltimore's or DC's?

Yes, he was born in Conn. But hes spent much of his life in Texas and he usually has a south/western accent/drawl...until he gets to 'terr-uh'.

Yes, the inner-city education system can do wonders for black youth...

Here's that statement signing that Brett Favre was looking for... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/foot...n.ap/index.html MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers made their first major splash in the free-agent market this offseason, agreeing to terms with defensive back Charles Woodson on Wednesday. Woodson's agent, Kevin Poston, said the Packers agreed to a seven-year deal for $52.7 million, including $10.5 million in the first year of the contract. Woodson's signing comes a day after Brett Favre told the team he would return to play the 2006 season. Favre previously urged the team to make a "statement" in free agency, similar to the signing of Reggie White in 1993.

And it makes sense for Bill O Reilley because hes from Jersey (although his accent is only thick like that on one word...terr-uh). But people from the Midwest, Texas, Wyoming, etc dont normally use that accent...but theyve followed the leader on this word. Its really weird and kinda sad.

I wouldnt mind a press secretary who would answer questions honestly. But thats just my liberal/terrorist/utopia mind thinking again...

Huh?

I just finished Jan Jarboe Russell's bio of Lady Bird Johnson...its good, I recommend it to whomever might be interested. Ive also been readig Frederick Exley's oft overlooked novel/memoir 'Fans Notes'....really good stuff.

And the fact that people wil mispronounce words just to sound like the people they see on TV kind of illuminates the problem of people believing everything that they are told by this (and other) administrations.

I think this is a fair thread. It wasnt deseigned for just trolling and idiocy...there is room for reasonable discussion/debate here. If people dont want to discuss the possibility that the almighty government might not be wholly/holy honest then they shouldnt visit this particular thread. I give the gov't the benefit of the doubt on this case personally, but there clearly are some strange facets to the story. I also thought it was ridiculous to think liberals (terrorists) have a monolopy on conspiracy theories...considering all the Clinton stuff that that has been long bandied about.

Its strange because isn't 'terr-uh' kind of a Northeast/NYC accent? And Bush/Cheney are playdoll cowboys. Its sad that its 2006 and people would actually find intentional mispronunciation of words to be folksy and cute. Equally sad is that a large amount of Americans actually mimic the way these words are said.

What I want to know is, why does everybody on tv say 'terr-uh' but most dont use the accent for any other word?

He'll coldcock ya.

This wont die until Bill Clinton is locked up for all those murders.
