I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

hello world and loving it


GravatarSome problems have no solution.


GravatarBush refuses to tell Americans the truth. About anything.

See, that's why we don't trust him at all.


Worst. President. Ever.


GravatarHe's incapable of telling the truth.

Even his milquetoast supporters know that.


GravatarPlan C? IMPEACHMENT, BABY!


GravatarI wish Toby could come over and tell us what's what.


GravatarPlan C

1. Finalize the looting of the treasury.

2. Get out of town as it crumbles.

3. Enjoy winnerhood.
-


Gravatar2. Get out of town as it crumbles.

They should light it on fire to conceal the evidence, then blame the British. Or the Liberals.


GravatarGooooooooood moooooooorning Vietnaaaaaaaam!


GravatarI will see your elitest white fru-fru wine and raise you one Ciroc martini


GravatarMan, Bush has TOTALLY fucked up America. I mean, who coulda seen this coming, even in their worst nightmares?

Oh, wait . . .

GravatarCan he play the fiddle while Rome burns to the ground?


GravatarGooooooooood moooooooorning Vietnaaaaaaaam!

Apples and oranges! For one thing, there are no jungles in Iraq...


GravatarThey should light it on fire to conceal the evidence, then blame the British. Or the Liberals.

I'm pretty sure this is Plan B.


GravatarRe: loot the treasury

http://www.thenation.com/doc.mht...50718& s=greider


GravatarThe ONLY way out of Iraq is Impeachment.


GravatarThe coming Bush trifecta:

1. Recess Bolton nomination
2. Religious conservative for Supreme Court
3. Pardon Rove, and retain him

How's that for a "uniter"


GravatarPlan C is for Tony Blair to turn state's evidence, and then go into a witness protection program.


GravatarNaptime, still recovering.

Later.

You forgot number four:

GravatarJust checking out Coldplay in London.

Nice.

I wonder what Little Boot thinks about the Live 8 stuff? I doubt it has even registered. Too bad. That's to his detriment. He really should pay attention.

As we are coming.


Gravatar"elitest white fru-fru wine"

Buy a can today


GravatarHmm. Food for thought indeed. If the Bush admin hadn't made such a complete mess of the international relations sitch, "invite NATO" might've been one of the options.


Gravatar Plan C is for Tony Blair to turn state's evidence, and then go into a witness protection program.

Thing is, everybody will spot him when he's entered in the Poodle category at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show...


GravatarApples and oranges! For one thing, there are no jungles in Iraq...
NTodd


That was supposed to make it easier to win. Back during VietNam everyone
blamed it on the jungle. If only we were to fight a desert war,the bad guys would get their comeuppance!


Gravatar"Kennel Club Dog Show"...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Gravatarthere is no plan, no plan at all.

but sshhh, don't tell anyone, they might get scaird.


Gravatar"Kennel Club Dog Show"...

Karen Huge can be his handler! She's got the figure!


GravatarMmm...dinner's on. later fer youse!


GravatarI would like to say that a Bush pardon of Rove would be the end of the Republican party as we know it for the next 10-12 years, minimum.

But given the state of the Democratic Party right now, it probably won't be that big of a deal. Biden and The Other Joe will probably apologize for making Bush pardon him.


Gravatar"Plan C is for Tony Blair to turn state's evidence, and then go into a witness protection program."

This here's yer new coworker "Harley." He's from Toledo.
Harley, meet Rovert....a a a mean Robert. Roberts from Memphis. Wink


GravatarKaren Hughes.

Waiting until the fall to assume her duty?

Or waiting to see what the fallout is going to be?

Will she be part of the fallout?

So many questions.


GravatarI would like to say that a Bush pardon of Rove would be the end of the Republican party as we know it for the next 10-12 years, minimum.

Dunno. Ford pardoned Nixon, and the Dems only got 4 years out of Jimmy before Raygun won...


GravatarAnonymous-Biden?

I make sure to cut up those outdated credit cards. Into the wood chipper!


GravatarNaptime, still recovering.

Later.

How much fun would that be!


Gravatarcharley - well, you're partially correct.

There WAS a plan, in the beginning, but it only went this far: "land on aircraft carrier in jet; prance around in flightsuit in front of banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished. The End."

Seriously. That was the plan - all of it.


GravatarThanks for all who gave good wishes on the lower thread.

Doesn't seem to be specific to freeways, but to leaving the house at large. Going to work, I'm okay once I'm there. But having to go to Target is almost impossible, same with Trader Joe's. Thank the goddess Von's delivers.

I'll call my physician on Tuesday and take it from there.


Gravatarprance around in flightsuit in front of banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished. The End."

LYING LIBERAL!!! Nowhere on that banner were the words "The End."


GravatarSo, I'm walking back from the neighborhood store and what do you think I see outside my building?

I'll tell you... a kid on a pogo stick. I'm serious, a kid on a pogo stick. In 2005... is that crazy or is it me?


GravatarRipley-

I saw a friend's daughter on a pogo stick last week. Maybe there is some sort of pogo outbreak?


GravatarIn 2005... is that crazy or is it me?

Time loops. Old/New/Again. Everything.


GravatarSallyh, Countess Sharkula: good luck, we're behind ya....although going out is overrated


GravatarBTW, NTodd, gracias for the double shot of Sam. I gather he was happy to see you for ~10 seconds before becoming distracted. Something about those tiny attention spans.

As for your query about figuring out that it's not all about you: I'd say it's a lost cause.


GravatarSallyh,

I used to suffer from panic attacks, too. Somebody suggested meditation, so I tried it, and the attacks are much less frequent (almost gone, in fact).

Just twenty minutes in the morning has worked wonders, in many different ways.


Just sayin'.


GravatarRegardless of the reason Rove leaves the WH (assuming he's not in prison) what would you guess his average annual salary would be over the following five years.
No sweat 3-5 million. What me worry!

Someone on another thread said the Presidential pardon power could not be applied in a contempt case...more opinions?


GravatarHmm. Food for thought indeed. If the Bush admin hadn't made such a complete mess of the international relations sitch, "invite NATO" might've been one of the options.
TheaLogie


Nato has already said it was willing to send troops to secure porous borders around Iraq to keep the "foreign fighters" from coming in. The administration has never taken them up on it. There are at least three (3) countries who've expressed an interest in aiding the US to train Iraq's forces. Just like NATO these countries have recieved no response from the administration.


GravatarPlan C; fat jonah elists.


GravatarI'll tell you... a kid on a pogo stick. I'm serious, a kid on a pogo stick. In 2005... is that crazy or is it me?

I'll bet it was a hover pogo stick.


GravatarSallyh - my panic attacks were never that specific. Most often I would just wake up in the middle of the night with my heart hammering away, for no known reason. Thank god those days are long past. I never got medicated; it was not a daily issue for me. Either I subconsciously figured out how to head them off or outgrew it, but they just went away.

Can't imagine dealing with it on a daily basis though. Hope the doctor can help.


GravatarI'll tell you... a kid on a pogo stick. I'm serious, a kid on a pogo stick. In 2005... is that crazy or is it me?
Ripley


In this vision, did you also see Hula Hoops?


GravatarBTW, NTodd, gracias for the double shot of Sam.

Most welcome.

I gather he was happy to see you for ~10 seconds before becoming distracted. Something about those tiny attention spans.

Yeah, he seemed to be. Actually, he's been quite the homebody, going out for an hour or so then coming back to check on me. I think he's afraid I'll abandon him again.

Oh, and he brought me a live chipmunk upstairs. How sweet.


Gravatar"I saw a friend's daughter on a pogo stick last week. Maybe there is some sort of pogo outbreak?"

what's next, stilts? hula hoops?


GravatarRipley, Spinoza, JDW--I've been seeing them in my neighborhood as well. Mademoiselle claims she wants one and is making noises to the effect of a deprived childhood. As if.


GravatarI saw a friend's daughter on a pogo stick last week. Maybe there is some sort of pogo outbreak?

You'd think in the 21st century we'd have a pill or shot that could take care of that...


GravatarReally? Pogo sticks are coming back? Cool. I loved mine way back when.


GravatarIn this vision, did you also see Hula Hoops?

Why, what have you heard?


GravatarKaren Hughes.

Waiting until the fall to assume her duty?

Or waiting to see what the fallout is going to be?

So many questions.

Do you ever here a word...never, all of a sudden the bitch will be in a burku (sp) spouting all kinds of crapola


GravatarLYING LIBERAL!!! Nowhere on that banner were the words "The End."

yeah but this is Apocalypse Now.

i really hope rove is connected to a cover up within the admin. that somehow gets blown wide open. i doubt this will actually happen.

i'd bet conversations in the white house these days would make the nixon tapes sound cordial.


Gravatar"Oh, and he brought me a live chipmunk upstairs. How sweet."

It's a token of his esteem.


GravatarNTodd - that would be..."a banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished." The End." Ranks up there with "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

You'd think now that we have preview I'd use it.


GravatarJust Get Out Now.

Say we made sure there were not any WMDs, took Saddam out, and gave the Iraqi freedom, to do with as they choose.
Declare victory and Get Out.

We can't because there be a blood bath?
What's going on now?
With us out a major irritant will be gone.
Sure the insurgents will still fight the the current Iraqi gov. They might even take it out and put something else in. SO WHAT!

Get Out Now.

Gravatar
It's a token of his esteem.


It's a request for dinner.


GravatarPogo sticks?

Now that sounds like fun . . . probably easier'n them Segways . . .

Note to Karl: Call the pogo stick people and get one with "Commander in Chief" carved into it . . .


GravatarIt's a token of his esteem.

Yeah, well we'd already had that talk, and I thought the issue was settled. I made him carry the critter outside and let it go. He came back to apologize almost immediately. Sam's kinda dumb, but he tries really hard to be a good boy.


GravatarLike trampolines, I guess the Homowners insurers before they write a policy will ask if you have a pogo stick in the house.


GravatarNTodd--with looks like that, Sam has no need of brains.


GravatarEats, shoots and leaves.

What a fun book!

It's a request for dinner.

It was 9AM!!! I hadn't even had coffee yet.

GravatarI'm thinking along the lines of, "Shit. shit.. shit shit shit oh, shit!"

I'm sure it's lotsa intellectual stuff like, "why is there Being and not rather Nothingness?"


GravatarChief Justice Taft of the United States Supreme Court wrote: "For civil contempts, the punishment is remedial and for the benefit of the complainant, and a pardon cannot stop it. For criminal contempts, the sentence is punitive in the public interest to vindicate the authority of the court and to deter other like derelictions. The executive can reprieve or pardon all offenses after their commission, either before trial, during trial or after trial, by individuals, or by classes, conditionally or absolutely, and this without modification or regulation by Congress."


GravatarIt's a request for dinner.

It was 9AM!!! I hadn't even had coffee yet.


It was a request for breakfast and coffee.


GravatarYes! Neil Young finally going on


Gravatarfinally, Neil. Toronto feed.


GravatarI'll call my physician on Tuesday and take it from there.

Are you having panic attacks? get some medical help- I think that will alleviate the symptoms. I'll bet that your general unease over the state of america (like all of us) is exacerbating the problem for you.


Good luck- we're all behind you.


GravatarNeil Young is up in Toronto (with wife Peggy). Here's the streaming link. Enjoy.


GravatarI'm sure it's lotsa intellectual stuff like, "why is there Being and not rather Nothingness?"

Maybe if Clinton hadn't stolen all the Philosophy books from the library when he left. Damned Clinton and his damned book stealing....


Gravatari'd bet conversations in the white house these days would make the nixon tapes sound cordial.

Of course all the recording instruments were removed from the White House. I wonder though with all the data mining and wireless phone tapping a record of WH conversations isn't being "recorded" and stored somehow...somewhere by Total Information Awareness or even the Secret you know who?

What an historical record THAT would be.


GravatarReal Americans realize the reins of government have never been in better hands. Now the liberal media is resorting to fake opinion polls to make it look like the President is losing support. So how come everyone I know likes him better than ever? The desperation and knee-jerk anti-Americanism of the left is truly pathetic.
.


GravatarI personally own and operate both a Pogo stick AND a hula-hoop. Great fun, both. And I'm damn near forty.


GravatarSweet fcukin' Jesus, Neil Young is doing 'Four Strong Winds'. Unbelievably Canadian.


GravatarWhat an historical record THAT would be.
Agent Orange

Agent Orange, ANYWHERE those with power gather to discuss the world and what they want to do with/in it would be "fly on the wall" desirable experience.

We are, essentially, no more than "meat" to the wealthy and powerful. Nothing new under the sun.

No, wait, that's not right either...

Because you and your imaginary friend sit in the basement all day jacking off to GOP agitprop?


GravatarDavid... shhhh... we're watching Neil Young doing something for the good of humanity. shhhhhh

David Patterson

The killing, hating, lying, homophobic, traitorous, Neocons are more than pathetic. You're all MORALY BANKRUPT!


GravatarSallyh -- I still have panic attacks, but they seem to be related to GERD, so if I have that under control or if I take antacids during an attack, they're better. They are also worse (for what reason?) in the summer. Hmm. Come to think of it, haven't had one since I got the air conditioner. Who knows?

Very aggravating, because while I don't consider myself a brave person, I have done a number of gutsy things in my life. I don't think of myself as anxious or fearful in general.

I think some of it can be associations that build up between panic attacks and where you have them. Then the place itself can trigger them.

The only place that consistently gives me panic attacks is Walmart.


Gravatarhow come everyone I know likes him better than ever?

Ummm, just a wild guess...but maybe it's because sane and intelligent people will have nothing to do with you?


GravatarOh Lordy, don't even begin to suggest that there is a Fear of Target. Much less Fear of Trader Joe's! Nooooooooo...


GravatarSo how come everyone I know likes him better than ever?

Gravatarpanic attacks

My sister had them bad.
She would suddenly not be able to drive and pull over gripping the wheel, white knucled, pressing down on the brake with all her strength.

Crossing a wide safe foot bridge, she fell to her hands and knees and couldn't move. She finally had to crawl the rest of the way.

For her Therapy and Drugs got her over it.

Oh, yeah, she got divorsed.

From my experience, if you get on a drug, work with your doc getting off.
Weird things can happen if you try on your own.

GravatarYeah, but can you use them simultaneously?
mena


Ha ha, no, I cannot, and wouldn't even try. Funny thing about the hula-hoop; I could never do it as a kid, try as I might... But, about eight years ago, I went to pick my son up from latchkey, and they were doing it, and lo and behold, he was able to teach me how. I've kept at it ever since, for fear of losing that amazing (to me) skill.


Gravatar"David Patterson" is a metatroll, and not a very good one at that.

But he tries so hard!


Gravatar"Fear itself is the emotional card Mr. Bush chose to overplay, and when he plays it now, he is the boy who cried wolf."

it was the boy crying wolf from the moment the bushliar crawled out from under the rock he hid under on Sept 12, 13, and 14, 2001.


GravatarPlan C?

BOHICA!
.


GravatarPlan C
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld:

"Foreign forces are not going to repress that insurgency. We're going to create an environment that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi security forces can win against that insurgency."

Note that he says that the Iraqi government can win, not will win.

The Republicans will not set any objective criteria for determining whether the environment is favorable enough for a win by the Iraqi government. They will continue to fumble along and talk about "training" and "last throes." They will repeat their claim that on some unspecified day the Iraqis will be ready, but that setting objective criteria would only encourage the insurgents.

In 2006, when Congress is dominated by Democrats, what is left of our troops will be withdrawn and Iraq will descend into the chaos of civil war.

Republicans will then blame the Democrats. They will say the Democrats lost the war by leaving when Iraq was just about to turn the corner and be strong enough to stand against the insurgents alone.

GravatarI was gonna mention what a pleasant non-troll hang this was, and up pops davey p., who's two other friends in the asylum like georgie even better now. And that was damn funny, I tell you. It wasn't maddening or frustrating, it was funny. Davey, you're down to the hard-core, and there's many more of us than people as stupid, morally screwed and easily led as you. It's really the ony hope for the real America to survive, is for you and your kind to be put in your proper and rightful place, which for most is prison, and for some the gallows at the Hague. I was anti-death penalty until the 2004 elections, when I saw a system gamed by the big money, from press to voting machines to pure and evil unAmerican intimidation. As far as I'm concerned, pro-administration activists such as you should suffer when your shitpile collapses. Unfortunately, the pussy libs will let far too many off the hook, and we'll probably be stuck with your feeble bleating for eternity, but that's my karma. So come on by, it's to laugh.

GravatarWhile the aliens in War of the Worlds may remind Americans of terrorists, they are probably going to remind people in the Middle East of Americans since we're the ones with the terrifying, unstopable military technology. The character played by Robbins in the movie says, "It isn't a war. It's an extermination." As many historians have pointed out, treating the enemy like bugs is an American tradition.

GravatarJP, cut that out, you're being entrepenurial, and that's French!

Weather is drying out here on the CT coast (the great black hole of culture), at the same pace as the wonderful news coming out of DC. The sun is pushing through, so to speak. The question is, can the Dems have their message and timing together in a united front when it's needed? It looks like they are being very wary, not saying much, with Kennedy as the current presence. They have almost everything they need to destroy these fuckers (shit, I do) if they play the hardball rules. Howard is the right guy, I bet. I think he's got Kennedy and Byrd out as early point, taking the licks, maybe even deservedly so (they're not saints), so if he can keep the blubbering crybabies under control, he'll have some great sniping opportunities, and the press won't be able to resist.

Maybe they figure that they're so synonymous with patriotism and America, that the flag should wear little Republican pins.

Oh, thanks, as if I wasn't paranoid enough.

When I feed her she runs to the bowl but just sniffs it. Later when no ones around she eats some of it.

GravatarMaybe they figure that they're so synonymous with patriotism and America, that the flag should wear little Republican pins.

Would it.

Michael Deaver, the longtime Reagan adviser, said that as far back as the 1960's his former boss extolled the virtues of the flag pin as a virtual shield, a phenomenon hard to imagine today.

"Reagan often said, 'You know this country has to be such that anywhere we go in the world, we should be able to just put an American flag in our lapel, and people will leave us alone,' Mr. Deaver said. "In other words, the simple act of wearing the flag lapel pin would keep an American safe."

Then, pointedly, he added: "We've come a long way."


The way Americans draped everything in flags after 9/11 was just the way we would drape strings of garlic bulbs everywhere if a vampire epidemic were reported.


GravatarNTodd, can you direct me to the sight about the comet thing?

We'd set up the 'scope, but then we'd only have to pack it back up.


GravatarEven has a warning label to tell you that it was never associated with the Cuban brand (the Cubans sued!)

That was a pretty big deal, as I recall. And it would be a nice nite for a puro.

The problem that I've run into is that I seem to be the only male resident on this side of my building, facing a buildking full of younger, single women. So, if I sit on my balcony, I look like some kind of peeping Tom pervert. One of the neighbors even put up new curtains after I sat out there one day.

It's hard to be me, I tell ya....


Gravatarbrand is CAO; ever hear tell?

Can't say that I have. I'm rather plebian when it comes to stogies. My boss has given me recommendations, but I tend to stick with what I know--in all things. I'm rather boring that way.


Gravatarcharley almost ballistic: 'course you can alway send the cat out for chipmunks.

Naw; anyone who knows me knows that I'll skip meals before the Purina Indoor Cat Formula runs out. There are too many unhealthy conditions in urban GnashVegas for a cat to be outdoors.

Gravatar"The way Americans draped everything in flags after 9/11 was just the way we would drape strings of garlic bulbs everywhere if a vampire epidemic were reported."

Some real estate compnay planted flags on every lawn on our street...and every other street from what I've seen. I'm the only one that takes it in at night.

The street's biggest 'patriots' fly them after sunset, and in the rain and snow.

Every flag oughta come with instructions.

GravatarEvery flag oughta come with instructions.

Or maybe all those flag humpers should have joined the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. Might have helped in a few other areas as well - say, the environment, service and ethics, just to name a few.

GravatarNTodd: Unless you have a refractor telescope, that's so unfair.

Exactly! I keep telling them:

* Refractor telescope: tool of perversion!

* Canon GL-1: tool of art!

GravatarAnybody remember the toon where the cobbler has the elves go corporate? Elmer Fudd played an elf "consultant" type figure.

I think that's one of those weird-ass "pro-capitalism" Looney Tunes from the Fifties... "mass production is the way to the future" and all that.

The one I want to see again is an OLD Rudolph Ising thing called "Bottles" -- bottles in a pharmacy come to life at night, including a scary skull-headed bottle of poison. Real nightmare fuel.


GravatarJP, yep, they're pretty good. I'm a maduro fan myself (the stogies with the dark, dark wrappers). CAO can be a little pricey compared to, say, Uppmans or Macanudos but it all depends on the type/size of cigar you like and where you're buying them.

I don't enjoy them as often as I'd like, lately.


GravatarNTodd, thanks.

Very cool.

Ain't science a wondrous thing?


GravatarSo who is going to put out a flag on the 4th? I was toying with a Confederate Flag just to mess with the heads of southern fundies. Likely it would have the opposite effect. Weird that the most anti-American flag of all time is the closet flag of the "Christian" right.


Gravatar"In other words, the simple act of wearing the flag lapel pin would keep an American safe."

The tiny (maybe 1cmx2cm) Canadian pins that they give to new immigrants are very lovely indeed.

Rich's "money" quote:

Now that the rhetorical arsenal of W.M.D.'s and mushroom clouds is bare, he had little choice but to bring back that oldie but goodie, 9/11, as the specter of the doom that awaits us if we don't stay the course - his course - in Iraq. By the fifth time he did so, it was hard not to think of that legendary National Lampoon cover: "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog."


GravatarNo, that was really me! I was just funnin'.

Ditto, goofy.


GravatarLapel flags.The first time I saw a FOX talking head wear one of those on the teevee, I thought: Oh man, you've just committed to wearing that for the rest of your life. Same with the waving flag graphic in the corner of FOX's screen - forever

GravatarNYT's Sheryl Gay Stolberg has a piece on Arlen Specter tonight.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/ 0...artner=homepage

Specter's dream is coming true. He gets to do the confirmation hearings of the century (okay, the century is young).

Some quotes from the report:

the inevitable confirmation fight could be the defining moment in his long career.
***
Within hours of Justice O'Connor's announcement on Friday, Mr. Specter said he would probably hold confirmation hearings in September, a move that could upset conservatives, who would like to move a nominee along as quickly as possible in the hope of outflanking liberal groups that plan to use the summer months to prepare for a confirmation battle.
***
Sharp-tongued and cagey, with an uncanny knack for parsing his words to wiggle his way out of tight spots, Mr. Specter is widely regarded as the Senate's brightest legal mind. A rare centrist in a Senate that has shifted increasingly to the right, he is reviled by conservatives for dooming the nomination of Robert H. Bork, and by liberals for assuring the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas with his aggressive questioning of Anita Hill, the law professor who had accused Justice Thomas of sexual harassment.
***
Democrats have been pressing Mr. Bush to seek their advice on possible nominees, and Mr. Specter said he had urged the president to consult with him and three other senior senators - Dr. Frist, Harry Reid, who is the Democratic leader, and Mr. Leahy, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee. The president apparently took Mr. Specter's advice and has invited the four men to the White House on July 11, after the Senate returns from recess.
***


Gravatar"Apples and oranges! For one thing, there are no jungles in Iraq..."

god are you stupid!

Um...that was a joke."

must have been a good one.

But Halliburton doesn't have a flag. Does it?


Gravatar"Reagan often said, 'You know this country has to be such that anywhere we go in the world, we should be able to just put an American flag in our lapel, and people will leave us alone,' Mr. Deaver said. "In other words, the simple act of wearing the flag lapel pin would keep an American safe."

How classically insular and willfully ignorant that old fuck was. Reagan went a long way toward making Americans hated in the world, making them targets of verbal abuse if not violence.
You'd have to be a phenomenally ignorant and arrogant Rethug to wear an American lapel pin anywhere outside the US in the world today.


GravatarWhy does Bush need any plan? As if he cares.

He can just wait until his incompetence bring another disaster upon us, and then, like any psychopath, take advantage of the disaster.

Worked for 9/11.


GravatarIts too late for a plan c...they are going to wag the dog any day now.


Gravatarrove that is


Gravatar"I don't agree with everything he says."

I hate disclaimers like that. Why not just say what you DON'T agree with or leave the disclaimer out.

All too often the disclaimer covers fear of stating an uncomfortable position that might get you judged harshly.

A crude example is: I'm for choice but I would never have an abortion-- translated as I am not a slut.


GravatarMr. Specter is widely regarded as the Senate's brightest legal mind.

Ya, who else could have come up the the "magic bullet" theory to whitewash the organized murder of an American president.
