Giant douche vs. Turd sandwich?

The SCOTUS ruling was kinda stupid, albeit technically correct. The vetoing authority can just veto a bill and say "Hey present me with the same things sans the idiocy" and it has the same effect, but more often than not it is used as political ammunition against them. "Hey did you know president so-and-so vetoed the bill that allows handicapped children to use playgrounds???" Meanwhile attched to the thing was a clause or rider that charges a tax for breathing air. A bit of hyperbole maybe but you get the point.

I voted for him twice, but mostly because of my disdain for the electoral college. Being a NY'er if I want to vote in the general election for someone other than the Dem candidate my vote means squat.

Well I do like the transparency. If voters weren't so apethetic it could lead to change in that people might actually demand it. Works better in theory than it does in practice. Does anyone still support the line item veto, or did that go out the window with Reagan and Bush I?

At least Artie-baby-boo-boo was polite to callers.

Thanks again AD - being delivered next week!

Pretty minimal grade on any slopes, except along my patio, which shouldn't be too much of a problem. As far as attachments go, I don't plan on doing any tractor type stuff. I already have a nice snowblower.

Thanks AD - I was actually looking at the YS4500 which is only $100 more, but I have a 10% off any purchase coupon and I have a Sears card to boot. I was a bit worried about quality but if it's a Husky, that eases the concern a bit. I may go tonight to check it out.

Any real recommendations?

Probably gonna get one this weekend. Anyone have any thoughts? I'd like to keep it on the cheap side (under $1200) if possible. Thanks!

I'm sure toll booth operators everywhere would take offense if they knew you thought of them as somehow below you, given the level of intellect you are demonstrating in this thread. Care to explain how exactly a monkey eating a banana relates to grass roots support? Or at least a link to an article that shows this was the intent of the creator? Or would you rather throw around insults and spin yourself in a circle? I know you can't do the former, so to the dismay of us all I guess we'll watch you do the latter.

Oh I get it now. The bar owner selling the t-shirt obviously has an issue with Barack Obama's stance on fruit imports as it relates to making banana daquiris. You know what, it is funny now that I think about it.

You know what I won't miss? Your hero contributing to the problem: http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/...my_shirt_stunt/ http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Iron_My_...t_Was_it_staged People dislike her, not because of her gender, but because she is an !@#$. I'd vote for Margret Thatcher's zombie corpse before I'd vote for that slimeball Clinton. (I know Thatcher isn't dead - but I'd still rather have her reanimated corporeal husk over Clinton.)

I liked him more because I thought he had less of a tendancy to pander. Color me misinformed: http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/375071.aspx

Dude, its Ruben Navarrete. He's lame and his logic is lame. Everyone who has an opinion on immigration other than full amnesty is a total racist in his mind. Also, notice how he mentions black people vote for Obama, but white people vote against him, instead of saying they are voting for Clinton. Keep in mind Clinton was fully ordained as the Dem candidate in many people's minds before Obama came along. So by them sticking to their original horse (look no further than PastaJoe) they are obviously racist.

Damn straight. When I get a tan my productivity plummets.

I guess you have never been to a Hardy family picnic, have you?

It certainly came close. I think what saved it for me was how well the did the crash. That was a pretty realistic scene. Other than that I thought the whole "wow look at me I'm bleeding from my ear and I'm still smarter than you" combined with the "look at me OD on alzheimers drugs and die, but then come back from the brink with the answer" was pretty much nonsense. Hell yeah - her a$$ was incredible.

Your example shows that the innocents are slowly being cleared. We may not like the timeline, certainly the process should be sped up within reason. But I still doubt there is torture and a total suspension of habeas corpus if people are eventually being released.

This is a lot to respond to all at once, but I'll just take on the first article for now The subject of the article admitted to delivering the explosives that killed innocent people. He admitted to attending an AQ training cap for "self defense purposes". He also admitted to helping AQ operatives obtain fake passports and cross boarders illegally. Doesn't sound like much of a problem to me to hold him indefinitely. From the article you linked: "Ghailani, a Tanzanian, is suspected of buying the Nissan truck used to deliver the bomb, supplying the TNT and detonators, and later running a document forgery office for Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. He was arrested after a gunbattle in Gujrat in eastern Pakistan in July 2004." In his own words: "At times speaking in English, Ghailani said he went to an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan after the bombing, because he wanted military training for self-defense." Again his words:"Ghailani said he later he worked for Al Qaeda in Pakistan providing passports and documents to help them get across borders" I'm not feeling too bad for this guy if he knowingly worked with a known terror organization and then later admitted it, and now regrets it because he is locked up.

Yeah - I'm just trying to display my super-awesome level of reading comprehension.

Didn't the wiki entry (I know, I know ) also state there was no evidence of sexual assualt?

FYI - She denies this.

Wasn't this on the 190 last night?

Godamit Sketch - you stole my idea!
