Looks that way. So? Bush is up for re-election? When did the election laws change?

The detectives and lawyers all drive Excursions.

Why not? He controls the weather, so he would know exactly how many hurricanes he will be creating this year.

Silly me. I actually used hard data to form my opinion instead of just speculation derived from political bias. What was I thinking?

You mean like calling anything and everything a conspiracy?

Gas prices are going down this time of year. They always go down this time of year. It happened while Democrats were in power and it has happened while Republicans were in power. To think that gas prices are going down because of a grand conspiracy by the Republicans during mid-term elections is just stupid. It ranks right up there with the Karl Rove weather machine thingy. In fact, if you really want to analyze it with the same tinfoil hat, one could say that the Democrats are in such trouble that they need to tie great conspiracies to natural and common events, because they know that they cannot win based on issues (it would require them to actually stand for something). "Vote for me because the evil Republicans are controlling the world's crude oil prices."

I think you are a little confused. Mariska Shapokova is the actress on Law & Order: SUV. She just won an oscar.

Nice to see you continue to prove my point. Nothing but conspiracy theories from the hacks on the left and no actual ideas.

I was waiting to see who the first political hack would be to mention this. I was expecting conspiracy theorists like PastaJoe to make stupid statements like this, but I was not expecting this from you. This ranks right up there with the Karl Rove weather machine stearing hurricane Kartina to make sure it targetted black people. It just shows how desperate the Dems are to regain power. Of course, you do not see them coming up with actual ideas, it is just "vote for me because the evil Republicans will kill your children."

Pre-emptive PastaJoe response: "It is nothing more than a grand conspiracy, perpetuated by Bush and Rove to hide the truth from the American public. Bush should be impeached over this criminal act."

You have to remember that with books like those, they rate the beer to style, not an overall impression compared to beers from other styles. Genny Cream is considered prototypical for the style.

Hey, don't let a little thing like details get in the way of a good rant.

So, I wonder what user names they use on PPP?

You had me until you mentioned Dowd.

You need to read it knowing the built-in bias. I will read some of their international coverage, but I rarely read their domestic coverage. I generally avoid all opinion stuff, regardless of the source, but this one peaked my interest when I read the title.

I am sorry that you are incapable of telling the difference between an opinion piece and shaping the news to conform to your agenda.

David Brooks had an interesting column on this subject (NYT a day or two ago). He basically said that when it looked like Rove was the leak, Dems and the media got themselves in a lather, smelling blood. Now that the finger is pointing to Armitage (a critic of the Iraq war), all of a sudden the most vocal people are suddenly silent. His point is that there are two types of people in Washington: Insiders and outsiders. His opinion is that Rove is an outsider and Armitage is an insider. When an insider makes these types of mistakes, it is swept under the carpet. If an outsider were to make the same mistake, they will get strung up. It is no longer an issue, since the evidence points to Armitage instead of Rove.

I have the same thing going on here. I paid $2.65 in NJ (near my office). I cross the bridge into PA and pay $2.89.

You don't have to be on 24 hours a day. You just need the ability to read.

It is not only attention, but validation. People need validation for their optimism and that plays a partial role in this. You also have the "B word for the sake of bitching" thingy going on. People just want to complain about something, so they toss anger towards anyone not ball-washing the team. My opinion: Who the F cares what pundits think about the team? Seriously, what does it matter what pundits think about the team? Does it lead to more Bills wins? Nope.

Back when I was working in the food industry, I would see the same thing. Rules state that everyone wears a hairnet. Of course, common sense did not enter into it as bald people were also forced to wear hairnets.

How many times are you going to post the same links over and over again? Holy hell, give it a rest.

Trade Willis and JP this year for a 5th rounder in 2009. Get 'er done, Marv!!!

They're all stiffs.
