You didn't have a problem with the rest of the grand jury's investigation did you?

I always thought that the Berger case was interesting, he got a $50,000 fine and was convicted of a misdemeanor, because I think the insinuation was more valuable in an election year than a full investigation by the justice department. Of course it was that very credible Richard Clark's stuff he was allegedly destroying, wasn't it? Oh, well. Perjury is a felony. If you can lie to a grand jury with impunity then the justice system doesn't work very well. It doesn't matter if you are Martha, Bill, Scooter, or anyone else, if you lie to a grand jury you should go to jail.

I got 49 in about 4 min. and it took me another 5 to figure out I was missing Michigan.

I'm a little confused by this (sincerely). Doesn't the military run Walter Reed hospital? And isn't it under military oversight? I thought Walter Reed had some of the best surgeons in the world. Isn't it the aftercare that sucks? Does this mean we shouldn't let the Defense department run anything? Somehow I don't think my HMO wouldbe doing any better for these guys.

Let's see, must be 35 ........ We could draft Diane Lane.

As in don't don't vote for Hillary, because she's not not the best person for the job? I admit it, I just don't want my president to have cankles.

Both sides still have one thing in common today, they both complain about German tourists.

Just a comment: and this is just for some of you to mull over: Do many of you realize that your arguments about US actions are always based in moral relativism? That is, they don't stand on their own merits, but in contrast to terrorists they stand up just fine. In a way it is a concession that American virtues don't stand up on their own but are only superior by degree. I don't have all of this fleshed out - nor am I looking for a pissing match- but it is always like the eulogy of the despised man when nobody can say anything good and somebody is able to stand up and say: "his brother was worse!"

Now there is a relentless truth.

See Darin's thread. The war to liberate dogs is already on.

The real problem is forever exposed. We just did not go far enough.

Interesting comment. And the right has replaced the fear of atheist ideology with the fear of religious ideology?

My mom caught me numerically modeling once....

Just wondering, why would the President of a defense contractor for explosive detection devises take an interest?

Yes. Amen.

An Oscar for that documentary? They filmed a slide show. I think film school students could have handled that pretty well. Regardless of the message, it did not deserve the Oscar as a film, but the Academy wanted to give Bush the finger.

Illegal to crop tails? The argument is that it will handicap poor puppies in their inter-social skills. How would you like to be a puppy that can't show the full range of doggy emotion. Seriously, it you really want to mess up a puppies long term cognitive development and grammatical syntax - crop the tail. I am also worried that by muzzling puppies we are limiting their ability not only to crotch sniff, but it may also handicap the inter-canine ass sniff which every puppy should have a right to. Every puppy should have the right to sniff some good dog ass. It is also time we ban cat juggling.

- knock on door- Oh, Air Force, good to see you, it has been a while since we talked. How are the wives and NCO's? Splendid. Just wanted to talk to you a little today to gauge your willingness to bomb things. You know, just a little chat. I think this could be a great opportunity for you, so we have put a little package together here, and along with a cost of living adjustment we are going to throw in repatriation insurance for any of your pilots landing in enemy territory. It really is the best we could do, but we think you are the military service for this. Oh, yes, we talked to the NAVY but they are really our second choice. Think it over, have a chat with the officers and let me know your feelings by Monday. If your willing it'll all be a go, then we'll do dinner.

Hey LADY! You'll never find another love like mine? That would be Pay Per View TV in someplace like France.

If only Lou Rawls was with us today to answer that....

My point is this: The 39 or 40 schools that are members of the UNCF are historically black schools. If you applied to Morehouse or Grambling, or Howard and were denied a scholarship because of race then you have a great case.

Back of the line. Who knows? Did you apply to Morehouse? I bet that white chick in the first season of Different World got some money.

Curious. Does FSU have legacy admissions? I am pretty sure that UF does. And thank God our President was a Legacy Admission at Yale. Imagine him running the country with a business degree from Bryant and Stratton.

The UNCF supports the traditionally black colleges. I'm not sure if they helped Bruce Jenner out at Grambling or not.

Forrest kicks Truman Capote's ass.
