  1. Something tells me that the killers aren't the most credible people. Maybe it's just me.
  2. and Yahoo posts a sad Arafat as the picture on their front page: but they were unable to find a non-ugly Arafat
  3. How could they tell?
  4. maybe Clinton was some sort of non-liberal, which made the liberals mad, so they decided to go after him, after failing to have Paula Jones killed. CBS did kill Vince Foster. ya know.
  5. No. He found ways to mention how the Geneva Conventions did not apply. He also had plenty of left-wing positions. -=Mike So, we're going to appoint someone to enforce the laws of this nation, who was able to find loopholes in the Geneva Conventions. Makes a lot of sense.
  6. So the Democrats had a stranglehold over the US Senate from 1981 to 1987 (with such Democrats as Howard Baker and Mark Hatfield opposing this measure).. and they also controlled the Government from 1873 (or so) until 1995. Since the LIV was proposed back in the 1870s and never really considered until the mid-1980s. So, to recap.. pork-barrel spending and stalling bills is something that only Democrats have done. Republicans are too busy feeding starving lepers to do that stuff. I guess it's better to propose it now, than to wait until Robert Byrd died or retired. The GOP will need just 12 votes in the Senate and about 55 or 56 votes in the House. It may not be that hard. And I have little doubt that the Dems will fight it. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be. -=Mike I doubt that. It'd only take 12 Senators to get 67 in the Senate. 10 current Democratic Senators voted for the law in 1996 (which passed 69-31). The odds are good in the Senate. I'm not entirely sure about the house, since there's more ground to cover. But, i'm sure an amendment would pass the Congress
  7. Didn't Gonzalez also find ways around laws regarding torture?

  9. Yeah.. if they pass another bill, it'll be shot down. And rightly so. Considering that Dems like Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle (Senate Minority leader), Wendell Ford (then-Senate minority whip), Paul Wellstone, Diane Feinstein and others in the Senate, along with 71 Democrats in the House, voted for the Line-Item Veto.. i'm sure it'll be a brawl. and on checking the house vote, switch another vote in favor for the wagering, as Schumer voted for the LIV in the House. It should be obvious why Byrd opposes a line-item veto. But, all pork comes from Democrats. http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagena...nth_hallofshame
  10. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ine_item_veto_2 A constitutional amendment is the only way to go for this, but good luck getting it ratified.
  11. it takes 67 votes to change Senate rules, if I recall correctly
  12. no
  13. no pumpkin pie cola? Fuck that!
  14. Lunch: Spicy Chicken Sandwich Dinner: Meatball sub and maybe other stuff.. idk
  15. Bush will use his experience with owning the Rangers to pick his new chief justice. David Justice.
  16. meanwhile.. until I find a better way to devise this.. here's the "Turnovers per game formula" for NFL QBs (Fumbles lost + INTs divided by games played) Kyle Boller - 4.9 Michael Vick - 4.8 Josh McCown - 4.5 Jeff Garcia - 4.0 then again.. this will change by Tuesday
  17. For the love of God.. how could the Chiefs OL blow it on three straight plays like they did today? and the even more mocking nickname for Green is "TrINT"
  18. Is it just me or does anybody else think that Trent Green isn't that good?
  19. from one article on the place I went to:
  20. Friday: Lunch- Crumbly Burger, Fries, Coke Dinner- Pizza Today: Lunch- Cheeseburger, Coke Dinner- Barbecue Bacon Burger, Coke Yep
  21. Juan Gonzalez, you really blew it in 2004. Way to go Juan Gone
  22. The "Why did Americans vote for him, what's wrong with them" attitude is a lot like blaming the players when the coaches and their plans are the problem. Nothing's really achieved by the "They're idiots" method. There's a lot of people out there who could vote for the Democratic party, but for some reasons, they choose not to vote for John Kerry. My general candidate for 2008 is someone who can be considered likeable and able to do a good job. Just watch Brad Henry lose in 2006 and screw my plan up. The 2008 primaries will be an epic bloodbath for the first two primaries, then we'll know who the nominees are.
  23. 42% for Brad Carson wasn't too bad when you consider that Bush won every county in Oklahoma You'd be wise to make sure that Kos doesn't pimp for him. That man is the kiss of death. -=Mike I don't think that came up in Oklahoma. Anyways, the targets weren't exactly all picked for ease. Why else would Roy Blunt and Tom DeLay be targeted? DeLay actually had his toughest campaign ever, but Blunt rolled over Newberry. As for a curse. There's nothing to really suggest that. Stephanie Herseth (D-SD) and Ben Chandler (D-KY) both had links to these fundraising efforts. Some of us are not totally sure about how much time over the next 2 years should be spent on figuring out what in the hell to do. Carson gained 92,000 more votes than Kerry in Oklahoma. Coburn ran about 200,000 votes behind Bush. Considering the circumstances, it wasn't a disaster

  25. Hillary would be a worse candidate than Kerry. Here's one person who could make a good candidate, if he keeps his job in 2006: Governor Brad Henry of Oklahoma From his site: from the Almanac of American Politics: Brad Henry in 2008! (just ignore that cockfighting stuff)
