Part of the problem with America's lack of action on the Darfur nightmare is that the causes of the situation are hard to understand.

Those numbers tell us 2 things: 1) how much staying power each person has, and 2) how many rich friends each person has. Still, I'm pretty surprised Huckabee isn't doing better. Story after story talks about conservative discontent with the field of McCain/Guiliani/Romney, but then almost never mentions guys like Huckbee or Brownback as even running. Weird.

The right to privacy is implied, but not stated out-right in the U.S. Constitution. The limits and bounds are pretty ambiguous. All rights have limits, though. I refuse to take this argument that children are just mini-adults with the same rights and ability to make decisions seriously, though. It is pretty self-evident that, as a whole, children are too immature to make informed decisions for themselves. That's why parents are held legally accountable for their actions and are given decision making-power over them until the age of 18.

Eddie Izzard said it best:

The other half of that was him calling English the "language of prosperity." What the hell does that even mean?

hawt~!

Oh, how we've missed you... "We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto" -Newt Gingrich, Ph.D. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/31/gin...l.ap/index.html

Fucking brilliant. Parents actually doing parenting. Who'd have thunk it. That 5 minutes of parenting a week might actually work and make a difference. What, you mean the schools aren't supposed to be the ones raising the children??? Its always more fun to blame someone else.

Why not? McCain's a maverick politician that says what he really thinks, and doesn't suck up to powerbrokers or reverse his positions when its convenient. Off topic: check out this bridge I just bought!

"America didn't elect a Democratic Congress so they'd actually do anything." -Upcoming G.O.P. talking point.

It explains how you can't win arguments with 24-year-olds, I guess. Does anyone ever really "win" an internet argument?

Banning what people can do in the privacy of their own homes without any actual way to enforce it is hardly a first for a Catholic organization, though.

I don't see how immigrants are taking anyone's jobs away. You don't see a lot of middle class people trying to get jobs washing dishes or picking fruit.

You have to admit there's a certain joy in counting all the ways the Kerry campaign sucked, just to kill the momentum going in case he decides to run again.

Did I miss something here? Didn't this bipartisan group advocate for a withdrawal? I'd think Feingold would be jumping for joy that an independent voice is calling for exactly what he wanted.

You need to do a lot more research on Romney if you think that's the only thing that could hold him back. You mean because he's pro-choice Mormon 1-term governor of a liberal northeastern state?

Ironic considering "Astonishing" is the book you read when you want to get away from the other X-titles.

Quotes you'll only see on a wrestling board.

Give them a break. Its not like they make a six figure income or something.

Why do you have to lie because you don't like my conclusion about something completely unrelated? Can anyone find a quote of this?

I'm not sure how Jordan got on the panel except for his close ties to the Clinton Administration, but if you can mount an argument that O'Connor (who used to be on the Supreme Court) is incapable of studying a complex issue and coming to a conclusion based on available evidence, go ahead. The entire panel consisted of: James Baker, former Secretary of State Sandra Day O'Connor, former Supreme Court Justice Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State Edwin Meese III, former US Attorney General Alan K. Simpson, former Senate Republican Whip Lee Hamilton, former Congressman and member of the 9/11 Commision Vernon Jordan, Jr., former Clinton Administration advisor Leon E. Panetta, former White House Chief of Staff William J. Perry, former Secretary of Defense Charles S. Robb, former Senator The country is probably more interested in what they think than what you think.

You don't see the benefit of having a bipartisan panel of experts explaining our mistakes and giving recommendations on what to do next?

I didn't say they were, but it is still borrowed money. I can use a credit card to purchase items, and the money goes from the credit card company to the place I'm purchasing from. I never see the money I spent, but the place I bought from does. In that sense, the money most certainly does exist.I then pay the money back to the credit card company. It is a win-win-win scenario. I win because I get to use the item I wanted or needed to buy, the credit card company wins because they collect a fee for financing the purchase for me (remember, they are taking a risk by financing a purchase I'm not guaranteed to pay back), and the place I bought from wins because they made a sale they might not have made if I had to save up to make the purchase.

Money that is borrowed doesn't exist?
