Collapse of the dollar?

Maybe the story you've posted is not all that it's cracked up to be. Just like Vietnam, the right tried to paint the anti-war movement as communists and anti-troop. This story suggests they are using the same tactics this time too. The real story???

Gee, what do you know...a thread that should be on PPP, except that it's attacking a liberal. I wonder how long it would've been here if you substituted Rush Limbaugh...??? The over/under would've been 5 posts.

Interesting, only 2 NFC teams made the top 10. Personally, I think this year will be a lot like last year: maybe 3 real elite teams (Pats, Pitt, and Eagles), then the second tier, of which the Bills should be one based upon their defense alone.

And the video was shot in Hollywood?

I met a GI on a 4-day leave while in an Atlanta airport bar a couple of weeks ago. He commented that our media spoonfeeds us. I inquired whether it was worse or better. He said it was much worse than what we're shown. He said they laugh at the coverage they see (he mentioned FOX and CNN). He did say the morale was fine, and, like they always have, they rely on each other. I bought him a beer and wished him well....

Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy of the right. It wouldn't be necessary if Clinton were president right now; could you imagine the posts about Iraq from the usual suspects here? Maybe they'd finally get the fact that you can support your troops but disagree with the policy/startegy of the administration...

If you're there sept. 1, the Spin doctors are playing Thursday in the Square. Best event throughout the summer. Also, the chicken wing festival is labor day weekend. The wing eating contest is great. There's a little asian woman competing with guys who tip the scales at 300--sonya something. Two years ago I saw her break the record in the pre-lims, but she must have od, cuz she failed to win the next day. Once you get to town, pick up an Artvoice, it'll have all the info you need for a good time in the city.

Between an incident with an overzealous previous moderator and life's ups and downs, I decided to take a long break.

"I'm going to cut taxes, increase military spending, and balance the budget." R. Reagan.

While surveys of reporters indicate that most are socially liberal (and fiscally conservative), the liberal counter-argument has been that the media are, in the end, corporate-owned and controlled. This study indicates the US media are controlled by a very small group of individuals associated with some of the largest US corporations. The 110

It's getting better.... Pre-book a room!

Gotta love this. Hotel wants to build on his land

Kevin spacey as the serial killer in "Seven."

taxing taxes Gotta love the conservative party mandate. They want to eliminate the federal deduction of state and local taxes. In other words, they want those of us who pay state and local taxes to pay taxes on the taxes we pay.... Uhh...let's see, we need to cut taxes on dividends because of the double taxation. I'm sure someone here can explain why double taxation of taxes is a good thing?

When this team was 0-4, I said I thought they were a lot like Wade's first year Bills team--the 1998 Bills who went 0-3, then made the playoffs; you could sense that they were good, but just needed a couple of good bounces. The only difference is Flutie came on and took the team to the playoffs. If this team had anything close to Flutie as a QB they would be at least 7-4 instead of 5-6. While I wish Bledsoe could be the man, he doesn't make good decisions on the field. However, given the schedule, the Bills can still make the playoffs despite the poor QBing...

Hands down: the coaching. - They've commit to the run. Unlike Gilbride's verbal commitment, Mularkey has done it. - Drew IS getting rid of the ball quicker, especially to his outlets. While he still makes dumb decisions, a conservative offense suits him best. - The O-line is getting it together. As usual, it takes time, and they are doing it near the half-way point. McNally IS the man! - Play-calling is suspect at times, but they are getting better. When they were 0-3, I posted that this could be like the 1998 season, Wade's first. You could see the difference, it was just a matter of when. It could be a great game Sunday night....

A brief visit to congratulate GWB and supporters; my first prediction happens (the easy part). I'M not surprised by the right's reaction here: I suppose that's what's to be expected over the next 4 years--no attempt to dialogue; simply, liberals suck (in so many words). My second prediction, for those who missed it, because DCTOM and the fascists deleted my last post, was that most of you who voted for Bush will regret it before his next term is up. My new prediction: when Bush and the neocons go after Iran next, China will fire-sell their holdings of US T-bills-- because Iran is China's number 1 supplier of oil and gas and just signed a $70 billion contract with Iran to develop a new oil field--which will lead to a financial crisis here as the $ collapses. And I've made a nice little return the past 6 months betting against the $. Hope some of you get a chance to read this before it's deleted... Peace and go Bills! TPS

Finally found something new on the Franklin Affair. Interesting stuff. Update on Franklin Affair

Since when has Israel tried to make peace on the Palestinians terms? I think most outside observers have simply argued for the creation of a Palestinian state. It's apparent Sharon has other plans.. Another perspective...

Yep, you just can't trust the AP..... I'll see if I can find the FT article.

What do you think of this conservative's opinion of Sharon and his relationship with Bush? Scowcroft

The modern Conservative

No, I never said that! I guess if you're not concerned about him, then he's not even a nuisance either... "I'm not that concerned about him"
