  1. You're lack of understanding is alarming but expected. The demand for energy worldwide is increasing, therefore additional sources are needed just to keep pace.
  2. He's able to put aside his preferences to present the facts. I disagree with many of his preferences on issues, but he always gives an objective analysis of the facts. The fact that everyone is just assuming Russia is the only party in the wrong shows a lack of understanding of how Russia would react when provoked by recent actions. Bolton takes his preconceptions and then tries to justify them with his slanted analysis.
  3. WASHINGTON - The International Olympic Committee should punish Russia by moving the 2014 Winter Olympics out of Sochi, Russia, the co-chairs of the congressional House Georgia Caucus said. Reps. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., and Bill Shuster, R-Pa., said in a joint statement they plan to file a resolution declaring that Russia’s movement of troops into Georgia on the eve of the Beijing Olympics makes it an unacceptable country to host the games. “It is practically and financially untenable to hold the 2014 Winter Olympic Games less than 20 miles from a zone of conflict, particularly when the prospective host country has played a significant role in the escalation of that conflict,” according to a draft of the resolution. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26223848/ The most suprising thing to me is that there's a House Georgia Caucus.
  4. That's the problem with conservatives, no new ideas, just lower taxes and everything will be great. Too bad it never works. There's this new economic opportunity called alternative and renewable fuel sources, I guess you didn't hear about it.
  5. Because he makes Dick Cheney seem like a pacifist. A more objective view of the situation from conservative Pat Buchanan: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...ar_baiting.html
  6. The economy did quite well with the previous higher tax rates of the '90s, and it can do so again. The Republicans had their chance to prove trickle down economics where lower rates would result in less gov't debt and a stronger dollar, and it's been just the opposite result.
  7. Why is this still an issue? It has nothing to do with Obama. Edwards has been vetted and found lacking, so he's no longer a consideration, if he ever was. That's what vetting is supposed to do. Now going forward it's a personal problem, unless and until he tries to run for public office.
  8. "Other witnesses described having to take time off work because of the sleepless nights caused by their neighbour." Yeah, they probably got worn out from having a glass to their ear with one hand and their crank in the other.
  9. The question is whether he'll really give up power, or will he just give up the title like Puti-Pu did in Russia.
  10. My dad didn't even buy me a condom. #16 - It is proper boating etiquette that when you take it out for the first time, whenever another boat passes by you should drop your pants and moon them. This is known as the First Crack at Boating salute.
  11. I always thought she was known for her torpedoes.
  12. To simulate the exact conditions in December, will the Toronto residents in attendance also be complaining about the Maple Leafs being in last place?
  13. So if I work in a gun store and have no problem with rifles, but object to people buying pistols, should I be allowed to refuse to sell them? Taking a job implies that I'm willing to carry out ALL of the job requirements, not just those I agree with, otherwise I should get a different job.
  14. And many of the founders of our country were slave owners, but that doesn't mean that's the current mindset. Planned Parenthood is mostly in economically poor neighborhoods, which in many cases happen to be populated by blacks. They're there because many people living in those areas couldn't otherwise afford proper reproductive healthcare, it has nothing to do with their ethnicity. And nobody is forcing anyone to use birth control, just offering it as an option.
  15. I was thinking more of Cheney and company, as well as the people who voted for him, but if you want to include the Republican majority who went along with it at the time that would also fit.
  16. The next Super Bowl is really going to rock. This year, Tom Petty rocked the halftime crowd at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. But Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1 in Tampa will feature Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, sources said. "He was just confirmed," a spy added. "Little Stevie (Van Zandt) has already rented out the Hard Rock Café for a party." A Boss rep didn't return calls or e-mails. http://www.nypost.com/seven/08112008/gossi...bowl_123968.htm If it's true, what three songs would you like him to play?
  17. I don't hate Bush, that would be like hating a dog that craps on your lawn. He doesn't know any better, but the people who let him get away with it do.
  18. Rick Jennereret Mike Lange - Penguins Jiggs MacDonald Steve Tasker Ron Jaworski Bill Raftery Mean Gene Okerland
  19. At halftime Ralph will call down to the locker and tell Dick that people didn't pay for those high-priced tickets in Toronto to see the 3rd stringers, put the 1st string back in.
  20. Great, because Bush couldn't get major powers to help out in occupying Iraq, he turned to countries like Georgia so he could pad the number of countries supporting his cause by bribing them with support to join NATO, and now feels obligated to return the favor. This is how World War I started. And why the hell are we having to pay to clean up the mess the Russians made? Make them pay the bill or kick them out of the G-8.
  21. When did the topic shift to McCain's campaign to win the Republican nomination?
  22. Sure, the guys who praised Kerry previously, then changed their versions of the facts about him when he ran for president. Now the same wing-nut has written a book about Obama, that's already being discredited by fact checkers. But throw enough mud and some people will believe it. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/us/politics/13book.html?hp In the summer of 2004 the conservative gadfly Jerome R. Corsi shot to the top of the best-seller lists as co-author of “Unfit for Command,” the book attacking Senator John Kerry’s record on a Vietnam War Swift boat that began the larger damaging campaign against Mr. Kerry’s war credentials as he sought the presidency. Almost exactly four years after that campaign began, Mr. Corsi has released a new attack book painting Senator Barack Obama, the Democrats’ presumed presidential nominee, as a stealth radical liberal who has tried to cover up “extensive connections to Islam” — Mr. Obama is Christian — and questioning whether his admitted experimentation with drugs in high school and college ever ceased. “The goal is to defeat Obama,” Mr. Corsi said in a telephone interview. “I don’t want Obama to be in office.”
  23. More swift-boat pablum that does nothing to explain how McCain is going to help solve our economic problems. If McCain can try to exploit Obama's physical appearance and the opinion of a few airheads, then I suppose it's fair game for Obama to have a commercial with some old women saying they like McCain because he's old like them.
  24. What else is there to do when you're sitting on a bench waiting for your wife? Nothing wrong with "window shopping".
  25. Our 360 just got the ring of 3 red lights over the weekend, so it will be 2-3 weeks until we're back in action.
