Sad state of affairs when Kofi Annan has a better grasp on the American political process than a lot of American congressmen and others do.

Hate to bust your bubbles fellas, but I wasnt lashing out at CTM. Unlike last time, I understood the "sublety" of his sarcasm and I was railing not at him, but against those who make that ludicrous statement and MEAN IT. I know Tom didnt becuase I know he is smarter that that....he told me so! , indeed!

Then what the !@#$ "produced" terrorists during the 80s and 90s? The lousy food at Club Med? "Gitmo Produces Terrorists"...one of the dumbest, most assisine soundbytes ever uttered. People who say this with a straight face might as well just say "im insulting your intelligence" and stop wasting my time.

Its also quite simple to keep up with the moral standards set by the LEFT. You know....if you don't subscribe to their "enlightened" way of thinking, it's probably because youre a racist, a Nazi, intolerant or just a plain old "idiot".

Any time a politician promises not to raise taxes. Another is from the GOP here in Nassau County which blasted Democrat Tom Suozzi for raising taxes. They always left out that little tidbit that the reason why he had to raise taxes is because the previous Republican County Executive, Tom Gulotta, got the County in so much debt and in such financial hot water, it was practically bankrupt.

I loved the implication that the President should have taken direct action against some of the events brought up. As if Bush HIMSELF should have handled that plane flying in regulated airspace. This article is just red meat for nozzlenut and the toinfoil hatters who scream the troll-bait soundbytes all day long.

I believe some dude named Osama made a similar statement a few years back. So it's pretty safe to assume this kook is recruiting for terrorist operations.

Nothing like that was even CLOSE to being said in this thread or any other discussion o nthe topic. The only person on PPP who ever came even CLOSE to lumping all muslims together is a libertarian. The other is Richio (no explanation needed). But dont let that get in the way of yet another half-baked, half-assed, smug comment. Seriously, Deb.

And noooooooby's said a bad word about the Bush sisters, right? Good Lord....dont you people have more important things to get twisted over, like the fact that Hussein Jane is fueling her peace train with corn oil?

His point is not that "all of Islam is violent". Nodbody thinks that. His point is that the notion that "only a very very small minority of Islam is violent" is being whittled away day by day.

Agreed. The small agency I used to work for had a CEO who carried a similar schedule, only occasionally weilding power and the place did pretty well. The agency I work for now has an absentee owner, no CEO, and predictably, has its top tier power structure in chaos.

Well, Id say that if he's "just what they needed" and his hire accomplished his employer's goals than he's doing his job properly and therefore, earning his pay, right?

Good for them. Wish I could make millions and do nothing.

Flame me if you want, but I have little sympathy for Bruschi. Please keep in mind that this guy was one of the "bad guys". He was a huge headhunter and had no problem trying his hardest to put other players on a stretcher. His blatant attempt to end Todd Collins' career years ago still galls me. I wish him well and hope he's OK. But from a football standpoint, what goes around comes around, Teddy-boy. Aint Karma a B word?

Not if youre in a room full of tools.

I think most, if not all DWI laws are "bad laws". Does that mean I advocate drunken driving?

Thats kind of absolute, dont you think? Maybe I have too much faith in people, but I doubt most got the impression that what would be set up in Iraq would be a carbon copy of what we have here. I think most, including myself, expected the new Iraq to have a good part of their Constitution based on Islamic Law. If thats the case and you take this debate a step farther, than one can argue that what they are getting is indeed very close to what we have, a Consititution written with reference to and guidance from the religious beliefs of the majority.

Over 200 years, WE havent figured out OUR society.....our Consititution, how to handle the rights of women and minorities. But we expect THEM to figure out THEIRS in a few short months?

Watching people trip over themselves to attempt to point out that this is a "fringe" element at work is like watching Frank Dreben in "Police Squad" in front of the buring firweworks factory, with explosions going off every two seconds, yelling "Nothing to see here...please disperse!!!"

This was a brilliant move by Bush. If this confirmation turns into a partisan food fight, all Bush has to do is point to the fact that only a few years ago, Roberts was confirmed to the Federal Judiciary in a strong showing of bi-partisan support. "Ya didnt hate him THEN, why NOW?"

Thank GOD. I so glad he didnt pick another ni**er or spi**c, right? In all seriousness, when I clicked CNN and saw the pick, I said to myself "I bet a bunch of people will get upset over the fact he's a white male. But then I said to myself "Naw...people arent that shallow...nor that stupid, given the ethnic background and sexuality of many of Bush's other nominations." Well....guess not.

Maybe so. But the principle of getting the word out that if they try to destroy what WE cherish what THEY cherish will go down in flames as well worked pretty good for a long long time. Its a technique that works.

We all know making offensive, smug, ignorant blanket statements is one of the favorite pastimes of those elightened progressives these days. What did you expect?

The time to go balls out and show the world we were "mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore" was in the months after 9/11. We could have pulled a "Sherman", rolled and flew the entire U.S. Military across Afghanistan, flattenned the place, gotten Omar, gotten bin Laden and could have had a "bin Laden skull keg party" on CNN, with GWB slugging Coors Light out of bin Laden's bloody head and NOBODY ANYWHERE would have said a damn word.

Id still like to see bin Laden's head on a pike in front of Ground Zero.
