  1. I finally found it at Yahoo and you are right, I was not missing much. I just wanted to see how badly Rich butchered the article.
  2. You did the same thing and removing the extra http:// does not fix the problem for me.
  3. ...but think of the TV time that the person gets when they show the bit of finger. That far outweighs the person having their finger reattached.
  4. How long before the Crap Throwing Monkey and Carp Heaving Donkey go after each other?
  5. That would require effort. Any way you can condense them into a soundbite for us?
  6. Well, if Congress would actually cut spending, then we would have something to cheer about. Less spending = less tax revenue needed to keep the government functioning. Pretty simple concept.
  7. Glad you cleared that up. The first sentence of the article was a little vague: "Production of the popular Comedy Central series "Chappelle's Show"" I was referring to the link, since people seem to have issues with anything reported by FOX.
  8. It does not matter if people are willing to "live with it." It does not matter if his driver parks illegally instead of dropping the candidate off at the door and then parking elsewhere. Campaign funds should not be used to pay for breaking the law. It does not matter who the candidate is or what office they are running for. It is a simple matter of ethics.
  9. You always provide good analysis of AQ and other terrorist organizations. Thank you. The problem some people are having, as you mentioned, is that they use AQ as an all-encompassing entity to define terrorism. While AQ may provide funding or training to other Islamic terrorist organizations, they are not all one organization. Also, capturing OBL is not going to stop the attacks because, as was mentioned, AQ is not the only organization doing the attacking. We have had this discussion before. With OBL gone, there will be a power vacuum. al-Zawahri may or may not take control of AQ. al-Zarqawi may make a move to control the organization and al-Zawahri may let him. al-Zawahri seems to be comfortable in his #2 role and may want to continue in that capacity. al-Zarqawi wants to be "the man." I predict that if al-Zawahri wants to be the number one guy, that he will be taken out by al-Zarqawi so that there is nothing standing in his way to become OBL's replacement.
  10. Is it just me, or are you contradicting yourself in this post? First, you say that campaign funds should not be used to pay the tickets, but then you state that campaign funds could be used for paying the tickets. It seems like the only difference, in your mind, is whether he owns the vehicle himself or whether it is one borrowed for the campaign? IMO, regardless of who owns the vehicle, campaign funds should not be used to pay parking tickets. Essentially, he (or his driver) broke the law. Breaking the law is not part of "the cost of campaigning." If we are going to hold elected officials to higher standards than ourselves, we need to be consistent. The money needs to come out of his pocket and not the campaign coffers.
  11. Yeah, it's FOX. What are you going to do about it? Chappelle Thingy
  12. Prayers and Reiki on the way.
  13. Bottom two: Anthony, Vonzell Gone: Vonzell (if it is a shocker). Anthony should be the one leaving.
  14. I found beer in my Coors Light can. Should I sue?
  15. There was another rightie attacked at a speech around the time of Buchanan and again, it wasn't much of a story.
  16. The wife and I both like the show.
  17. Found some stats on the benefits for low-income workers if private accounts were implimented: If you have a 28-year-old earning $13,500 a year, they would get just $815 from Social Security but would receive $2,292 if they invested in a mixed fund that earned a 5.75 percent return (which is below the historical rate of return). Couple that with the fact that you will now have the ability to pass your assets on to your family members when you die, it can help improve the situation of the entire family (now and in the future). How much do you get from SS when you die?
  18. You get approximately a 1-2% return on your investment.
  19. That is stoopid and I do not support that. I have always had less respect for professors that made you memorize things instead of proving that you understand the information. You would be the type of professor I would seek.
  20. ...and why are the parents/tax payers not standing up to fix the problems? Things do not get done if people are standing on the sidelines.
  21. I also agree, but I would take it one step further and put it on the local level. Let the parents have a greater say in their school district.
  22. I just wanted to make sure you gave proper credit to the appropriate fuctionally illiterate stooge. It was back when Bush actually thought that the Democrats had a desire to work with him. We went to Kennedy and told him to write an education bill (since education was a major topic for Kennedy). Bush told him that if Kennedy would create the legislation and get it through congress, Bush would sign it. Kennedy wrote it and got it through congress, and Bush signed it.
