Vodka... I drank a 5th the night before my Music Theory exam the next day. The thing was at 8:00 A.M, but I managed to get up for it reasonably sober and passed with flying colors. If only I had that much luck on my other drinking nights...

Aw, hush, Tyler. The boy is obviously looking very hard for a huge conspiracy, why not give him a free visit from the Secret Service?

I corrected it since BX said something that made no sense. Well, since the UN didn't decide to go in it with us it was a no-win situation: No Weapons: The UN is shown to be inept after going through 7 years of inspections and constantly asserting that they are there up until the very beginning of this war. Weapons: The UN is shown to be inpotent as they refuse to take out Saddam Hussein for violating UN Resolution 1441. And considering that we've done more in the 1 year we've been in Iraq than the UN is the entire time they've been trying to handle Iraq should tell you something about their effectiveness.

Well, we were reporting casualties in Japan 2 years after WWII due to enemy fire there, but are you going to say that WWII ended in 1947 rather than 1945? Idiot.

Please, do the world and my children a great service and never breed. Wow..that's was pretty harsh. It doesn't change the fact that Bush is a liar Excuse me, but didn't the UN believe there were WMDs in there in the first place to even justify Weapons Inspections? The UN, for 12 years, said that Iraq had weapons. Intelligence agencies all over the world (Including France's and Germany's) agreed with this. If anything, I wanna know why we didn't find this out during 7 years of UN Weapon Inspections. Oh right, the UN is completely inept at everything they do. My bad.

The list shapes up just like it should, though I'm very disappointed that Sean Astin didn't get a "Best Supporting Actor" nominee. He really deserved it.

Good choice, though Powell is the best choice here. Even most Dems respect him if they don't agree with him, he's got the experience, and he definitely deserves a shot.

The only two candidates he CAN'T do that with are Edwards and Lieberman.

Uh... it's at a three year high right now, isn't it? Isn't the stock market connected, at best, tangentially to the state of the economy-as-a-whole? I seem to remember this from AP Macro. Yeah, pretty much. But he referenced a dive that was easily regained today, and hell, Alan Greenspan agrees that the outsourcing has happened before with Japan and Mexico and that we'll recover those jobs soon enough.

That's a deceptive fact, though. A lot of Senior citizens are in that group that stopped looking as well. Seniors often look for job so they can get more money than just their savings and social security and just for something to do during the day (As some of my former co-workers told me themselves).

well "b)" in your scenario is just outright wrong, and "a)" should really be in the eye of the beholder. If you call production and manufacturing and tech jobs being shipped off to foreign countries at a record amount a "recovering" economy, then I guess so......!?! Job loss has stopped and the Unemployment rate has slowly but surely started to go down. You can bitch about jobs being outsourced, but there are more appearing. And remember, the current rate doesn't take into account self-employed people and many of the new business starting up, so your claims seriously don't hold water. I honestly haven't read about major companies coming back to this country and putting factories. I read about Levi Strauss leaving, and host of others. Where are the real jobs that you can raise a family on? We don't need more 7-11s and Wal-Marts in this country. Trickle Down just doesn't work. A lot of the new jobs are coming from small, family-owned businesses, start-up businesses, and self-employment. This is why you saw payrolls only increase 1,000 jobs but unemployment go down .2%: the Payroll index does not go to these new and smaller businesses, which is why the unemployment has steadily gone down while there has been slow growth in the Payroll area.

Hey, has Bush ever been accused of murder for any of his former staff members? The joke doesn't work unless it's Clinton, dude.

So... wait... lemme get this straight: If there were no WMDs in there in the first place... why didn't the UN Inspections for 7 years after ever show any evidence of this? I mean, I don't have much respect for the UN as is, but if they had been mistakenly accusing Iraq for 12 years of having these things... You know, if that's true, I just lost ALL respect for the UN as a governmental body. I mean, seriously, look at the options we have right now: WMDs: UN defies US invasion, despite Iraq breaking a massive UN resolution after ejection in 1998 and with the current weapons inspections turning up practically nothing. No WMDs: For 12 years the UN accuses and punishes Iraq with sactions for not having these things, and through this reinforcement of something that wasn't true they provided the basis for an invasion. I'm still fine and cool with the whole war, but if that's the case with WMDs, I find the UN to be more at fault than the US. Hell, the fact that when war looks to be on the horizon, suddenly the UN believes that Iraq has no weapons is real suspicious. It's almost as though they had weapons inspectors over there just so they could look like they were actually doing something without actually having to take Saddam out of power.

Well.. you see, for some reason, the white house site logged it. (What's next, posting the President's phone conversations?). And this relates to Bush and the economy and ribs. Point in case, the Whitehouse also posted "Barney Reloaded", their SECOND movie starring Barney the Dog. -
For being 50, Edwards looks damn spiffy. I hope I look as good when I'm that old...

Dean loses poll & endorsement after Hulking Up

He tried to invade Kuwait and likely would have posed a serious threat to Israel. You do realize that appeasement was used with Hitler figuring "he's not such a threat", let him just invade a country or 2 and he'll leave everyone else alone. Those who appease evil are no better than the perpretators. There's a HUGE difference betwen Hitler and Saddam. Even comparing their respective military strength of arms is preposterious. Same with comparing them at all. two different wars, two different areas of the world, two different centuries. it's apples and oranges. The only true difference is success rate. If the allies had INSTANTLY attacked Hitler after he went after Poland he'd have been screwed. Militarily, Iraq during the Persian Gulf War had one of the greatest land armies known to man in sheer bulk. But in ambition and government, no, there isn't much different with Hitler and Saddam. Just ask the Shite Muslims. the quality of troops and the support he had at home was much better than Saddam had. but once again this is apples and oranges. But you are missing the biggest detail: Saddam still had one of the largest militaries in the Middle East and he had proven that he wasn't afraid to use it. He still was a threat, just as large as Hitler because the Middle East is far less stable than Europe and both Saudi Arabia and Iran have inferior military strength. They are very similar, dude.

Wow, 500 lives for the freedom of 25,000,000 people. When I look at it like that, it definitely wasn't worth it. "Freedom is not free." - Inscription on Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C.
