My friend works for Ford Credit. The parking lot as his office? Youre damn well RIGHT its full of Ford products and those employees driving other cars dont stick around long. IMO, theres nothing wrong with this practice. And its applies to ALL businesses. Its pretty bad form to use and buy from the competitor of your employer. And even worse to flout such use in front of your employees.

Or if we did it the way YOU guys want to, we'd all be speaking German and Hitler's son would be ruling Europe.

Worked for the Israelis.

Republican National Communications Director Brian Jones issued a statement calling the senator's comments "a sad development but not surprising from the leader of a party devoid of optimism, ideas or solutions to the issues people care about most." OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe its the 'dumb redneck' in me, but Id just love for the U.S. Govt. to publicly say "Go ahead....make our day" to NK and the world. We need a little "Peace Through Strength" with that nutbag right about now. We need someone to look him dead in the eye and say "Bring It!". He will blink. And if he doesnt, as Mel Gibson says, "We bury the !@#$ers." Anybody got some red meat?

Is it too late to have Congress take the Supreme Court by the arm and force them to approve a new piece of legislation?

Micheal Moore was the guest of honor at the DNC, sitting in the Presidential Suite, right next to the Carters.

AWESOME!!!!! We can huddle up and "discuss" the child's behavior. How does this behavior "make us feel"? Meanwhile, the child will be behind our backs throwing gasoline into the furnace and burning the school to the ground.

Generally, when you dont support something, you dont support those participating in it, either.

People today wont sacrifice their Twinkies, let alone what those who lived in this country during WWII did.

The problem is that other people have said LESS and have had their careers ruined and their lives changed forever. Meanwhile, she walked away from that episode without a scratch. You honestly think that say, Bill Frist made a similar comment he wouldnt be crucified?

The usage of derogatory terms WITHIN ethnic groups is something that goes on all the time. For example, Im Italian and call other Italians cafones both in jest and in seriousness all the time amongst my family and Italian friends. Nary an eyebrow is ever raised. Maybe that doesnt make it right, and the word !@#$ has other stigmas attached to it cafone doesnt....I realize that. But it shows this type of usage of derogatory words is not exlcusive to the black community

Well, I appreciate that. This is a "hot button" issue for me, personally...the idea around the globe that the U.S. is Satan incarnate.

Where is the stereotype? The "whiskey sexy" comment? An Iraqi man said that? Where is the "unbound superiority"? You really care to argue that the U.S. is NOT relied upon around the globe for aid and assistance for virutally every kind of situation imaginable? Where is the "anger"? My whole response was a retort to what 'Exiled' said, the point of which being is that the world should NOT BE "ANGRY" when 'hawked' American goods, considering they clamor for those very same goods they supposedely dont like having "pushed" on them. And where does "compassion" and religion come into this? Are you saying that we should be "compassionate" about other's cultures and ways of living? Then lets look at it this way.....why is it wrong for the U.S. to "hawk" our goods overseas and according to so many "ruin" foreign cultures. But over HERE, we have to unabashedely and without complaint drive our German cars, fueled by gas sold to us by Russian oil companies and then go home to watch our Japanese TVs while wearing pajamas made in Malaysia? A little fairness in this whole "pushing of cultures and products" debate should be instilled was my point. Really nothing else. If that makes me a bad guy according to you or the elite around this board, so be it.

Yeah....they see those TERRIBLE products being "hawked" and get pissed off...but the second they need a hand, they all demand to know where the soft drinks, clothes detergents and Mickey Mouse videos.....along with "whiskey sexy" are, dont they?

The U.S. can do no right.....everyone else can do no wrong. Pretty much the philosophy of the entire world outside the U.S. right now.

I really dont see anything here that says Bush has "oil on the brain", except for maybe the fact he is looking to build more refineries, something NOBODY disputes must be done. What I DO see is expansion of tax credits for hybrid, fuel cell and clean-burning diesel vehicles. Further, it took not even three seconds to come up with this: http://www.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuel...initiative.html Hard to say Bush is "all about the oil" when his overall energy plan has over $1 Billion poured into alternative energy research and even sets a timeline for launch. Even so, fossil fuels are what we use for energy. That wasnt going to change overnight. So tell us....what did you expect?

ROTFL!!!!!! Not to steal from Darin's repetoire, but "that'yl be the day." Politicians make be sick....all of them.

You can say that for just about ANYTHING, Deb.

Nice segue here.... Anyone bother to notice that the people who are all erect over Dean's comments come from the same side of the aisle as those who dont like John Bolton?

You tell the black man you work with to "!@#$ Off" after he insults you. See what happens. THEN go around the office and tell everyone else you work with "That dumb ni**er pissed you off, they are all the same" and see what happens. See the difference now?

The idea that this type of stuff will ever go away is bunk. There is this little thing called TAPE that makes sure of that. And Ill bet quite a lot that come election time, the RNC will be reminding EVERYONE what Dean and his crew think of them. Im also sure the RNC will be sure to pull out of tape storage and trot out all the comments made by others on the left classifying swing voters and Middle America as "moronic idiots" after this past election. Regardless of how simplistic it may be, the message "THEY think youre stupid....we dont....so vote for US." is quite a powerful one.

One word for you...."YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH". How did that little tidbit work out for Dean? True, that was done closer to a major election that what Dean is doing now and had a greater effect that what Dean just said, Ill give you that. But it still doesnt make it right. And be sure that whoever is running the RNC will trot out Dean's comments when we get closer to Election Day, thereby energizing the REPUBLICAN Base probably more than he did his own base.

Same thing with the Southern State Pkwy here on Long Island.
