  1. Some things never change, and Congress isn't likely to anytime soon. The farm bill passed with a wide enough margin to sustain a veto. Newsflash for all of you Obama and McCain supporters: they aren't going to be successful in getting rid of earmarks. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...bath_water.html Obama's plan is to simply make it more transparent, but without an actual ban on this type of spending, it will continue. Such a ban would be hard pressed to pass Congress, given that this practice is widespread. So the spending is more transparent, big deal It'll still continue, none of the big party supporters will vote them out of office for bringing money to their home district, and the other guys would just do it anyway. This type of "change" is completely useless and a waste of time, but hell, it sure makes us feel good, doesn't it?
  2. Immigration's impact on most of society is minuscule compared to a multitude of other issues. It also is a very emotional issue for a lot of people, driving out votes in many instances. It fits the definition.
  3. Sweet, Amazon shipped out Palahniuk's new book to me this morning, called Snuff. Description from Publisher's Weekly: Anyone else getting it?
  4. Of course he wants to be McCain's running mate - he'll likely become President when McCain croaks.
  5. Nope, and its not a crime for people to call out your opinion as not being based on anything factual.
  6. I think the word "record" in the title of the page should provide a clue.
  7. Quite frankly, using anything motivated by politics isn't a great defense.
  8. Excuses for an incident that we don't know if he even did anything wrong in. Right.
  9. Nice job refuting my points in that last post, although it is amusing you chose to refer to someone whose theories have been largely wrong.
  10. As if any of the media's oversimplified, non-nuanced positions will be accurate
  11. Good job satisfying Godwin's law, but that idea isn't anywhere at all relevant to my particular point, since there is plenty of well-established evidence that he did. No need for you to have seen it. At least you admit you have nothing to backup any of your positions. When was the last time you and Hardy went out on a date? Did you get lucky?
  12. Prove it. Pick a side, that what he did was justified or unjustified, and support that position with well-established facts about the case.
  13. The iPod Touch and the Archos 605 are the top PMPs at the moment IMO. Both are great players. For more info on them, check out: http://reviews.cnet.com/4370-11399_7-312-101.html
  14. HEB doesn't.
  15. Meh, it cost me all of $20 or $30 (I can't remember) to get the necessary plugins.
  16. The 80gb version cost me like $280 (the same as an 8GB iPod touch)
  17. I own this: http://www.archos.com/products/gen_5/archo...bal&lang=en Its awesome, better than the touch imo.
  18. Stop ruining the party.
  19. have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
  20. What, we're just wise acres t'day? I thought that was everyday! http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/big12/s...en.3747588.html So great! (Its the last part of the story)
