Crap Throwing Monkey

The Muslim world thinks what Osama tells them. Haven't you been reading the board?

She looks like every other Brazilian I've ever met. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

You two are STILL having this argument? Haven't you run out of things to say yet?

I'm not sure. KTFABD hasn't told me yet.

What the hell is so wrong about letting parents themselves monitor their kids' internet usage?

Are I and the goalie (watch his reaction) the only one that thinks that's one-third skill, one-third luck, and one-third really bad goaltending?

No, I don't. He's one of my fans. Which kind of scares me too. No sh--, buckwheat. What was your first clue?

Balls? These are the same people who bombed Greenpeace. If they had balls, they wouldn't swat at flies with sledgehammers. (Actually, their nuclear capaciaty is just about France's only practical power projection capability, aside from two aircraft carriers of questionable utility in such a role. So it's basically a "Well...yeah, no sh--" statement.)

Actually... 1) Gorelick's testimony to the House Intelligence Committee predates Oklahoma City by a year, and 2) Show me where Gorelick's comments are related to the PATRIOT Act amendments to FISA? You're specifically talking about the "roving wiretaps", which is the only real significant difference between pre- and post-PATRIOT Act FISA.

Not true. They care about their parties, too. And I'm sure a few of them care about their hair. And I heard an unsubstantiated rumor the other day that there's actually a congressman who spent five minutes thinking about his district...

You're going to start posting polls about your avatar soon, aren't you?

It's still more than Matt Millen makes.

Aside from the italicized, that's a very astute set of observations. Who are you, and where's the real PastaJoe? As for the italicized...brush up on your Clausewitz, for starters. Then contemplate what radical Islam thinks of that statement themselves...

Well...in the interests of balance, I should point out that I've found equally as many statements by the Republican Congressional leadership of the time decrying the Clinton Administration's position on warrantless wiretaps as unconstitutional. so from a purely constitutional standpoint, they're all full of partisan "It's a crime when the other guy does it" horesehit. But let's all keep pretending that our elected "leadership" actually gives two ***** about our constitutional protections.

Oh, well then I must be wrong.

Nah, let's just say it...a Clinton Administration official, and a Clinton administration official. Not that they're two-faced or anything. Gorelick, btw, said that in testimony to the House Committee on Intelligence (now there's an oxymoron) concerning the Clinton's administration warrantless wiretaps. She also testified after the Oklahoma City bombing before the Judiciary Committee that the president needed ""emergency wiretap authority" in terrorism cases".

Don't forget...while it's been a year real-time, it's only been about 50 days total covered in the series. In terms of story line...maybe it's just that no one went near the forest with the monster in it for a week or two. If I knew there was a monster in the forest, I wouldn't go out there either. That's what happens with an ensemble cast. Doctors on ER used to disappear for a couple weeks at a time, as well. If you don't like it...tough. It's what happens with an ensemble cast. You can't cover everyone all the time. Of course they will.

Most machines that sense odors still don't approach the effectiveness of the human sense of smell, let alone a dog's.

What, you thought it would be a pleasant image?

Can anyone tell me who said: "...the Executive Branch of our government has been caught eavesdropping on huge numbers of American citizens and has brazenly declared that it has the unilateral right to continue without regard to the established law enacted by Congress to prevent such abuses." And after that, can anyone tell me who said: "The Department of Justice believes -- and the case law supports -- that the president has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes and that the president may, as he has done, delegate this authority to the attorney general."

It's a little bit easier, though, when the procedure involves stirrups and ice-cold spoons...

Just keep imagining this.

Particularly since Clinton was president when Americans were killed on American soil in the very attack that prompted the missile attack...

I have a funny feeling about this thread...

Operative word in there being "try".
