Big Ol' Smitty

Why are they anti-milk? Isn't it painful for cows not to be milked? Well they were right on this, at least, from my experience.

Oatmeal, Chocolate Soymilk

Fish are tasty. But a diet that limits meat intake is, technically, more energy efficient.

Yes. Margarat Hassan's death really bothered me. If this woman is not off limits, then who is? What could possibly be the motivation in killing such a gentle woman who had dedicated her life to making Iraq a better place?

Meal 1-Oatmeal, Milk Meal 2-Turkey Wrap, Potato Salad, Apple, Water Meal 3-Hamburger Helper, Water Meal 4-Peanut Butter, Milk

1420 calories isn't all that bad, but the 107 fat grams are disconcerting. I'd say one of these every now and then if you're fit and active wouldn't kill ya. It just looks like it would be a chore to eat.

I liked this

"The fundamental violations of international law committed by terrorists, be they in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Spain, or Russia, render them ineligible for Geneva Convention protection. To apply the Geneva Conventions universally would be the undoing of those treaties. If there is no price to pay for doffing their uniform or shuttling combatants in Red Crescent ambulances, then soldiers would figure such illegalities to be worth it. Serious violations of the laws of war would become the equivalent of jaywalking. Those advocating universal application of the Geneva Conventions to [terrorists] are, in effect, encouraging future combatants to transform hospitals into ammunition depots and schools into machine gun nests.

We can't expect very young men who are in a combat theater being shot at, IED'd, and booby-trapped to put down their weapons and start singing Kumbayah. At this point, all they are trying to do is stay alive and achieve their mission objectives. They aren't thinking politically or socially. They are stressed to the max, exhausted, hyper-alert and in pure survival mode. My heart aches for them and I can't say that I wouldn't have done the same thing given the circumstances.

The Macho Man had great fashion sense.

Your sig kicks ten kinds of ass. I almost forgot about the Macho Man. Thank you for reminding me.

We hadn't discussed this yet. Go at it. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/14/iran.nuclear/

I think the real problem is the metrosexuals, and if you disagree then your beliefs are stupid and your mother smells. I'm learning the folder. You're a savant.

And she speaks so well! Why wouldn't she?

I think we do have over a million. And here's a chart of casualties from various wars. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004615.html Yeah, but do we have millions? And we aren't even close to a million soldier deaths total in every war we have fought. So what the heck, someone jumped the gun. Yeah, maybe not millionS.

Although I don't particularly like her politics, I think it's cool to see a black female in such an important position. I also think it would be cool if she ran for President sometime down the line.

Um, that's kind of hyperbolic. I meant the other definiton. 2. (Rhet.) Relating to, containing, or of the nature of, hyperbole; exaggerating or diminishing beyond the fact; exceeding the truth; as, an hyperbolical expression. ``This hyperbolical epitaph.'' --Fuller.

Um, that's kind of hyperbolic.

Yeah, I remember the first time I saw those pictures and the smiling faces I thought we should just obliterate the whole fucking city.

That's fucked up.

Nice balance. You have inspired me. I am going to aim higher in my pursuit of news and turn off the television. What do you think of the Economist? I just sent off for a subscription.

Sorry to keep badgering you. But do you think the people who said that the Bush administration was pressuring the IC were disgruntled employees and the like?

Hehe...sorry I didn't get that far. I got bored. Man, you're like a teacher with the reading and the learning.
