Another thread transformed into a meeting of the Trish Appreciation Society. (Where do I join?)

And yet bad pun headlines work so well for Fox News.

Maybe a foreign head of state wrote it and somebody here plagiarized it, that would be consistent with how you operate, Biden Oh TAG~!

I'm with Ripper on this one.

Moral of the story: You should have just bought Flair the drink in the first place.

Angle is God.

Impossible.

My thoughts exactly. She was princess of Alderaan. How she became a part of the royal family of Alderaan is explained in Episode 3. Amidala dies in child birth and Yoda decides the twins need to be separated in order to remain hidden from the Emperor. Bail Organa, one of the few Senators still sympathetic to the Jedi, adopts Leia. Luke is taken by Obi-Wan to Anakin's stepbrother Owen to live on Tatooine. Of course, a lot of that was already explained in Return of the Jedi.

If it was Elliot, who the hell didn't see that coming a mile away. Attempts to revise the story and make it someone besides Elliot are just silly, since the only way for the story to work, as unremarkable as it is, is for Hush to be Elliot. While the art was great, the story left a lot to be desired.

There is a line the Johnny Cochrane crossed. Its one thing to be a good lawyer who defends his clients and their rights. Its quite another to defend his client by putting on an elaborate show, and smear a lot of innocent people in process, just to get a guy off the hook who was probably guilty.

Sounds excellent. I remember having that discussion in my Civil War class in college, as many southern apologists have tried to say that slavery wasn't profitable. We also discussed why the south was anti-tarriff. I'll admit it has always seemed weird to me that the south didn't industrialize (as many thought it would, then switched their position on tarriffs later on to one more favoring an agricultural economy). Obviously it wasn't an impossible thing, since the south eventually did industrialize, but why not sooner? Another question I've wondered about is whether or not slavery was hurting the southern economy in other ways. It seems to me as though having an unpaid underclass was costing jobs for a lot of poor whites in the south, and once slavery was over the share-cropping system also crowded whites out of the job market.

How is this about money? Power, I can understand (politicians using this as an issue to distract people from other stuff)...but I don't see the connection to money. Someone please explain.

I'd never want to ban the Confederate flag (fre speech), but the controversy here is whether or not the Confederacy was a regime that primarily existed as an attempt to defend slavery. This governor is saying "it was", but other people are saying "we won't vote for you" because of that.

The final tally was 71%-29%. I heard an interesting statistic (no, I have no source on this) that there were about 20 states that still allow first cousins to marry. I'm starting to wonder which remaining states would be willing to ban THAT if it was ever put to a vote.

Potential means you could be good at some point in the future, not that you currently are or actually were good. Brock Lesnar had potential. Whether or not he lived up to it doesn't negate the fact that the potential was there. Got it?

Hmmmm...how can Triple H take credit for the ratings going up every time he looses the championship? Ideas?

Didn't George Bush tell us before the election there would be no draft?

I wish Benoit had fooled around with Vince McMahon's daughter instead of Kevin Sullivan's wife.

Oh, he does! The second part of the book is very Mace-heavy. Mace is fired up and ready to depose Palpatine BEFORE they even find out he's a Sith Lord. Kotzenjunge's Pope sig kicked my ass and took my lunch money. Also: Still no sign of Jar Jar.

Anyone who says the southern states left the union because of tariffs and taxes either doesn't know what they're talking about, or is just trying to make the South look good. The issue of slavery, and its expansion into the new territories was one of the majors causes of tension between the North and South decades leading up to the Civil War. The catalyst for the seccesion was Lincoln's election, who was elected from the anti-slavery party, and it was the anti-slavery potential of this election that caused the deep resentment in the south over Lincoln's election. The south was more and more on the losing side of the balance of power between slave and free states, and Lincoln's election was the final straw. That's no to say that tariffs weren't an important issue, but not the primary one as Mr. Hestley is proposing. In fact, one of the main reasons for the North's anti-slavery position was economic in nature, as the growing industry did not rely on slavery the way the south did. Slavery and politics are so interwoven in pre-Civil War era, it is impossible to divorce the two and say that slavery was not the main cause of the south secession and the subsequent war. 2. Its been 140 years. You lost. Get over it.

Couldn't agree more. BTW, I meet more and more people who say they really loved Liam in Phantom Menace, even if the rest of the movie blew. Based on the magnificent story being told in the Revenge of the Sith novelization, I think we'll appreciate the other tow prequels more once we see how the 6 pieces fit together...even if Attack of the Clones was mostly crap.

I'm not going to defend Berger's actions, but its a leap to somehow use them as proof that the Clinton Administration had "contempt" for national security.

Well, you KNOW Christy was only hired to blow things.

That seems to be the general consensus. Apparently WWE & Wrestlemania XXI are like the USA. You either love it or leave it. Given the way ratings have declined in the last few years, many ARE choosing the "leave it" option.
