I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
o broder, where art thou?
The stupidest thing I have ever heard of is when someone said they knew were Saddam hid the WMDs.
Oh wait. That was me...

I thought to get attention from Broder all you had to do was show him your underwear?
i am licking dennis hastert-s enormous he-boobies.
My reaction to unity08 was exactly the same. About the only thing it will do is drain votes from the Dems. Nice idea about 50 years ago. Not so much now.
It all springs from the same place - the fear of progressives.
They are all scared shitless of us.

Well, and this all just foreshadows how much drool will be spilled in the general direction of doesn't-use-his-salad-fork McCain and Joementum...
Now is not the time for some hare-brained coalition government scheme.
Not the time at all.
If Americans don't like single party government, and I don't think they do, they can figure it out for themselves at the polls.
Big Mommies and Daddies and DC do not have to make these decisions for us.
Doesn't Johnny Apple have an extra seat on the MI bus for Broder? Broder should be reporting on nachos from Branson.
Haloscan, you have lied to me for the last time!
Oh Hell, this is just another way of saying they want to be the ONLY ONES to take internets to the future.

What the fuck? Did Pasty come up with this?
From linky:
The one leading sponsor who has held public office is Angus King, elected twice as an independent as governor of Maine.
I guess it won't take long for his BFF, Jesse Ventura to jump on board. Together, they'll probably try and draft Donald Trump for president again.
um, was the original idea by West Wing, or was it all the people that suggested Kerry choose McCain in 2004? (that woulda been horrible!)
and in early 2004, i had a friend who had a bumpersticker that said Clark/McCain '04. sooo... once again, Yertle the Turtle is dumb.

There may be more than a whiff of elitism in the Unity08 manifesto, which explicitly puts down social issues, such as abortion and gay marriage, that are important to many voters, while emphasizing education, the environment, health care and energy.
a whiff of elitism(?!)

Oh, yes, after every so-called moderate Republican enabled a war based on lies, the looting of future generations, a kleptocracy that makes Ferdinand Marcos look like a piker, the continued destruction of the environment, congressional corruption on a massive scale, the cover-up of the misuse of pre-war intelligence on Iraq, the cover-up of how Bush administration incompetence enabled 9/11 -- none of which would have been possible without the connivance of people like Collins and Snowe and Powell -- these enablers, these connivers in this illigitimate administration's destructive agenda, should definitely have a say in the selection of the next president.
At every point, when it was a choice between the best interest of the country and the best interests of their party, they chose party. At every point, when it was a choice between seeking the truth and protecting the party, they chose party.
I don't know if David Shithead Broder knows this, but people who always put their party first are called partisans. There are no Barry Goldwaters left in the GOP, people who had the courage to tell a president of their own party that he had lost the support of the congress and should resign.
I hereby nominate David S Broder for Wanker of the Day.

okay, that's true. i didn't see a ring. i wasn't really looking for one; i was distracted by the disproportionate boobs.
i don't know why fake boobs bother me so much. i suppose it's the whole "she didn't earn those on her own hard work" thing, which is just patently ridiculous. natural boobs aren't really "earned." i guess it's also about the idea of satisfying some asshole man who wants his wife to be something she isn't. or something.

I'd like to say think that the nauseating idea that people like McCain and Lieberman define some kind of center in America politics stems from the fact that we have fucked up politicians, but in truth I fear it stems from the fact that we have a lot of fucked up people in this country.

I shudder to think that the two symptoms may have an underlying cause...
Rakovsky—For money ? Nobody received a single Mark from Germany. Hitler has not enough money to buy, for example, the Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR, who has at his disposal freely a budget which is greater than the total wealth of Morgan and Vanderbilt, and who does not have to account for his use of the money.
G.—Well, then for what reason?
Rakovsky—May I speak quite freely?
G.—Yes, I ask you to do so ; for that reason you have been invited.
Rakovsky—Did not Lenin have higher aims when he received help from Germany in order to enter Russia ? And is it necessary to accept as true those libellous inventions which had been circulated to accuse him ? Was he not also called a spy of the Kaiser ? His relations with the Emperor and the German intervention in the affair of the sending to Russia of the Bolshevik destroyers are quite clear.
G.—Whether it is true or not does not have any bearing on the present question.
Rakovsky—No, permit me to finish. Is it not a fact that the activity of Lenin was in the beginning advantageous to the German troops ? Permit me. . . There was the separate peace of Brest-Litovsk, at which huge territories of the USSR were ceded to Germany. Who had declared defeatism as a weapon of the Bolsheviks in 1913 ? Lenin. I know by heart his words from his letter to Gorky : “War between Austria and Russia would be a most useful thing for the revolution, but it is hardly possible that Francis-Joseph and Nicholas would present us with this opportunity.” As you see, we, the so-called Trotzkyists, the inventors of the defeat in 1905, continue at the present stage the same line, the line of Lenin.
G.—With a small difference, Rakovsky ; at present there is Socialism in the USSR, not the Tsar.
Rakovsky—You believe that ?
G.—What ?
Rakovsky—In the existence of Socialism in the USSR ?
G.—Is the Soviet Union not Socialist ?
Rakovsky—For me only in name. It is just here that we find the true reason for the opposition. Agree with me, and by the force of pure logic you must agree, that theoretically, rationally, we have the same right to say—no, as Stalin can say—yes. And if for the triumph of Communism defeatism can be justified, then he who considers that Communism has been destroyed by the bonapartism of Stalin and that he betrayed it, has the same right as Lenin to become a defeatist.===========

Rule #255 -- Always follow one step ahead of your competitors.
Rule #277 -- Anything worth fighting for is worth hiding from.
Rule #76 -- Every once in a while declare peace...it confuses the hell out of your enemies.
Rule #52 -- Never ask when you can take.
Rule #131 -- Information is profit.
Rule #196 -- Listen to advisors then do what you want anyway.
Rule #241 -- Never trust a hard working employee.
Rule #208 -- Sometimes the only thing more dangerous than a question is the answer.
Rule #233 -- Employees are the rungs to the corporate ladder. Don't be afraid to step on them.

I think you're just threatened by anything that doesn't fit into the two-party mold because it would make the brand you've built less relevant. The truth is, there's a huge number of Americans (at least a third, probably more like a half) who don't fit in the R and D paradigm -- but because they're not the kind looking at "their side's" blogs every morning to learn what they think, it's natural that they would throw your compass off.
Their hope is to harness the power of the Internet ... to mobilize the vast numbers of Americans who say they dislike their current political choices.

Oh, Reginald - I disagree !
whiskeyina - does the recipe use baking soda? If so, the acidic buttermilk is for interacting with that to leaven the cookies. Otherwiser it's just liquid, and you could pretty much use anything.

You can approximate buttermilk by adding vinegar to whole milk and letting it clabber.
I think you're just threatened by anything that doesn't fit into the two-party mold because it would make the brand you've built less relevant.
You're wrong. And a poopyhead.
prolly not. but think about the life of a body double? all these people saying "keira nightley is teh hawt and she gets nekkid in domino" and the body double rarely gets to say "um, actually those were my breasts that got you all hot and bothered."
I'm thinking that any shallow guy with any sense at all (I know, contradiction in terms) would be all about trying to date the body doubles.
If I've got no buttermilk, wouldn't regular milk be better than water?

Better Homes and Garden lists as substitute - 1 TBSP lemon juice or vinegar plus sweet milk (the kind in a can) to make one c. buttermilk
whiskey - to make sour dough pancakes i add some vinegar to milk. Works well. I think the yogurt would as well.

Their hope is to harness the power of the Internet ... to mobilize the vast numbers of Americans who say they dislike their current political choices.

Yeah, that was kinda my recollection as well. I haven't really seen him comment *or* spam here for a while.
seems to me that Atrios is perfectly capable of deciding who should or shouldn't post here. After all, it's his blog.
You know, there's a word I really like that one doesn't get to use that often - clabber.
It's really a cool word, IMO.
Ergo Limit the Internet and force the people to watch their 'News'
So, I may be in the minority here, but I think adding vinegar to milk is the way to go.

I think Keira Knightley is probably not especially shy about her boobs, it's just that, as in the case of some other actresses with teh hot faces, like Jessica Alba and Isabelle Adjani, they're probably no great shakes. You can't always have everything. Talent, a stunning face, and great hooters too is a pretty rare package.
Whiskeyina, you could try milking sticks of butter. But you'd better sandpaper your fingers and palm first, and pull very slowly.

It's not a question of Atrios banning people, necessarily.
A number of people have come and gone while I've sat here growing barnacles on my rear.
Copernicus used to comment all the time and doesn't anymore, unless he switched names. (I think he was a he.)
Backslider - though I'm told the dude abides.
Cheryl - who was chased off when someone finally let her have it for her comment style. I always felt badly about that.

Quick shot.
If you're going to have a 3rd party(getting back to 2 first would be nice), it should be something that stands out rather than some slapdash, watered-down BS.
I think you're just threatened by anything that doesn't fit into the two-party mold because it would make the brand you've built less relevant.
Ha. Ha.
I think the reality around here is more like most of us are just barely able to buy into the Democrat brand, because of all their incessant waffling and kowtowing to the wingnuts. A party between the mostly wishy-washy Democrats we've got and the thoroughly evil Republicans is therefore even more distasteful.
watertiger,

Actually, Ripley, I don't think Everclear will. You need an acid to curdle milk. And while Everclear may be acid-like in its corrosive properties, I don't think it will curdle milk.
You do sound like a barrel 'o laughs, though, sweetie.
"I think you're just threatened by anything that doesn't fit into the two-party mold because it would make the brand you've built less relevant."
I think the real fear factor is the repug loss. Otherwise, there would never-ever be mention of Dem/Repug ticket. IMHO, it will NEVER work and cause mass uproar.

Everyday I thank god for being both underendowed and plain as hell. no wait, that's not what I meant.....
what I have learned today:
adding vinegar to milky hooters will create a post-two party political system.
Lemon juice will work - just the acidic quality to clabber the milk and to give that tang in the end product that buttermilk does.
Someone upthread was saying ewww - why vinegar?
Because cooking is alchemy, my dear.
Come to think of it, Bush does look Ferengi...
Acts like one too.
Here we are on spaceship earth, going in circles, nowhere really, and these fools want to take the ship apart and sell the pieces.

"...Colin Powell might have run for president as an independent..."
HadEnough, sorry to pass the word on to you so late in the game, but Powell dismissed that long ago...about 2000 I believe. Said he didn't want to submit his familiy to a public inspection by the media.

Well, I can't claim to know the physics or chemistry involved but I mixed the two in high school and it was pretty damned lumpy milk. (Um, not actually at the high school - when I was that age, I mean)
I guess I'd have to say, now, that... it was a MIRACLE !!! God be praised!
Dang, I should have kept it for an eBay auction, though. Doh!
And while Everclear may be acid-like in its corrosive properties, I don't think it will curdle milk.
Actually, the curdling has to do with the denaturation of casein, which reduces its solubility in water. Alcohol, if you put in enough of it, can also denature proteins, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it could curdle milk.
Sorry about the tags.
It's raining chats et chiens here, at the moment.
Which is not why I cocked up the tags.
Yeah, and the guys with teh hot faces and bods probably have really tiny dicks.
I think we might be able to test that theory at EschaToo.

Yeah, I couldn't' quite figure out why her writing was so disjointed - it was consistently so to the point where I thought there might be something going on that wasn't just typing fast or whatever. She was also a Naderite, and I think that also was a factor, but one day one of the guys turned around and said something like: Goddamn it, Cheryl, if you'd write something we could understand you might have a point. or something like that and she just left.

I was reminded this morning, for some reason, of a graduation I went to with the last g/friend. They asked people not to applaud as the kids rec'd their diplomas, which is pretty standard, I guess.

That post of hers on the band from Malaysia was very cool though. Confirmed my suspicion that ketchup's etymology is Cantonese.
I was reminded this morning, for some reason, of a graduation I went to with the last g/friend. They asked people not to applaud as the kids rec'd their diplomas, which is pretty standard, I guess.
So, the entire graduating class would clap once, in unison, as each kid's name was called, and they kept it up for the entire class. It was kind of moving, really...
that's what's really interesting to me. that seems to be a tradition across the board. it happens in houston, in austin, in portland, maine, in bloomington, indiana... so weird that there are certain things that are like, pancultural...

Talking Points. I've been reflecting on the same things. Why is it that the dirty old Librul party wants to close down this big govmint and control spending, etc.? It's all in the perception of the talking points. I don't think the masses have changed, just the political figures.
Wasn't it Cheryl who posted a few decidedly unusual comments about L. Paul "Jerry" Bremer after he was recalled as Viceroy to Iraq? It might've been when he was awarded the Medal of Freedom.
I'm almost sure it was her. The odd aspect is that she wrote in passionate high dudgeon that nobody really understood the anguish Jerry went through, because he had a genuine sense of high purpose and really hoped to rescue a bad situation.
I'm obviously distilling her drift into coherent paraphrases to the best of my recollection. And IIRC, although her perspective, such as it was, suggested an actual personal relationship or connection with the man, she didn't explain how she was in a position to provide such an inside scoop.
If it was Cheryl, she blew off like a tumbleweed in a windstorm shortly afterwards.

Did THIS get any attention???
One of the things Hannah Arendt talks about is the way totalitarian movements construct an entire parallel reality, and then insist that that reality be substituted for the actual reality. You see this with everything, from what’s going on in the science class, to the construction of foreign policy, to the promotion of abstinence education to the kind of fictitious numbers that are given for the Bush tax cuts. It’s something quite new in American politics – this idea almost of radical relativism – the idea that truth is determined by the person who has the power to impose it.

BONN, Germany, June 3 (Reuters) - The mayor of Bonn has banned over-exuberant Japanese fans from jumping into the river Rhine during the World Cup.
Thousands of ecstatic fans celebrated the progress of co-hosts Japan into the last 16 four years ago by leaping into a river in downtown Osaka. Several injuries were reported.
Bonn city officials are anxious to avoid a repeat should Japan advance from World Cup Group F and have warned visitors of the Rhine's strong current.

picking up on the hearts and minds topic from below; anyone care to discuss how success in afghanistan is progressing:
Afghans' anger tilting more to West
By Kim Barker
Tribune foreign correspondent
June 3, 2006
KABUL, Afghanistan -- The cleric told about 10,000 worshipers that Afghans made one mistake in their anti-American riots Monday. They should never have looted any Afghan shops.
"I'm telling you, if you want to put pressure, put it on the Americans," Maulavi Enayatullah Baligh thundered during Friday prayers at Kabul's largest mosque. "If you want to fight, fight them. If you want to burn, burn them." ...
"During the protests, I yelled, `Death to America,'" said Abdul Fatah, 24, who sells plastic water containers at a Kabul stall. "I'm still saying, `Death to America.' Death to America right now." ...They torched a well-known brothel, Escalades, where foreigners once drank alcohol and played pool.
They broke into the compound of CARE International, setting the main building on fire and causing $123,000 in damage to equipment. At one point, an Afghan looter grabbed a fair-skinned girl from the CARE kindergarten and threatened to throw her into the fire. When she screamed in the Afghan language of Dari, she was released.
Afghans are not just frustrated with the economy. They also are chafing more and more over the behavior of the international community, and not just U.S. military convoys. Landcruisers with dark windows speed through traffic circles. Brothels staffed by Chinese women have mushroomed across the city. Markets now sell beer, although alcohol is forbidden in the constitution. Foreigners pay $11 for foie gras at a French restaurant with a pool; Afghans are not allowed as customers, unless they have a foreign passport.

My favorite little bit from Dean Broder's spew:
But there undoubtedly is a hunger in the land for consensus and an end to partisanship.
Hmm, yes, now that the GOP is on the ropes, I'm sure there is a DESPERATE hunger all across the great Beltway for an end to the partisanship. After all, we're all Americans, right? We should UNITE! (Forget the last 6 1/2 years ever happened.)
The GOP has governed (with control of all three branches of government) in a highly partisan fashion, to put it mildly. It is more than a little ridiculous that NOW (as the GOP is burning up on re-entry into the Reality Atmosphere) "there undoubtedly is a hunger in the land for consensus and an end to partisanship."
I've got your consensus right here, Broder. The consensus is that the GOP has to go, and they don't get consolation positions in the next Congress or Presidency. They are gone. Done. Kaput. Finito. Wastin' away in Margaritaville.
But it is uncouth to suggest that, when Democrats regain control of at least one branch of government, we should do so with an eye toward stomping the life out of the psycho neo-con "unitary executive" wet dream once and for all. And the Glibertarians can FOAD, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, what's the freakin' point of the Libertarian party, if not to REDUCE government control and surveillance? I am baffled majorly, as Pastor Swank might put it.
So screw Broder, screw Unity08, and any panty-waist scheme to Make Nice with the psychopaths who have very nearly destroyed our democracy.
We ought to embrace this thing and promote a Roy Moore/Al Sharpton ticket.
this is what i don't follow. the writing couldn't be more misleading:
By KIM GAMEL, Associated Press Writers
1 hour ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Iraqi whose brother and other relatives were killed in a U.S. attack on a suspected terrorist hideout north of Baghdad condemned a military investigation Saturday that cleared forces of wrongdoing.
A 9-year-old survivor of an alleged massacre by U.S. forces in the western city of Haditha, meanwhile, demanded that those responsible be executed, as anger mounted over accusations that Iraqi civilians have been killed by Americans without provocation.
i'm confused, when did haditha massacre troops get cleared?
They didn't. It was regarding another massacre that I happen to be blogging right now.

You give them way too much credit. It would be very difficult for them to trace me, especially since they have no jurisdiction in the multi-domains my signal traverses. And they aren't on friendly terms with many of the local natives.
My favorite little bit from Dean Broder's spew:
But there undoubtedly is a hunger in the land for consensus and an end to partisanship.
Broder's column alternates between A) what the Fulton County Commissioners' decision on a leashless dog park portends for the upcoming congressional election B) how the stubborn partisanship of Democrats in the minority is preventing all the great and glorious reforms good moderate Repuclicans are trying to introduce.
Re unity08: without a candidate worth noticing, what good is slick production values? The "democrats" are a Retuhg side project meant to siphon off energy from any potential leftist project.

The shit's done, and it's silly to sweep it under the rug.

Yeah, but the way their type of filthy societal tumor works, they'll decide they do know where you are and arrest whoever's at that address.
We ought to embrace this thing and promote a Roy Moore/Al Sharpton ticket.

I agree with you, Gen, sir.

Re: NYM's assailants
this is the quintessential brownshirt tactic: silencing the critics and opponents through bullying. The very volume and the haphazard threats, in a climate of instigating reprisal, drives the normal--say, also, oppositional, critical--person out of that kind of confrontation. That is, in fact, exactly how internal, intellectual/emotional terrorism works...
there are instruments in the Museum of Medieval Torture in Rothenburg ob der Taube which concentrate on the hands and fingers; and, while i do not usually or typically counsel the punishment of speech, it would not distress me overly to see such implements applied skillfully to the digits of NYM's tormentors...
cowards...
Yeah, now they talk about bipartisanship. Remember, Hastert won't let anything come up for a vote unless a majority of the repuke caucus supports it, so there is absolutely no chance of passing anything that is supported by both parties coming together.
This may cheer WT up.
It's racist, but you know how it goes - that's just funny.

How is it racist?
watertiger - I shopped for AC's for a while and finally bought one that was rated for a bigger room. Very glad I did. Apparently when they say it is for cooling a 300 foot room, that means in about 24 hours or something. I got the AC for what the box said was for a 500 foot room even though my guest house/efficiency is only 300 feet. With the extra power, I can cool the room in less than an hour. Plus it has a neat little remote and an energy saving button.
Anyway, something you may want to think about before you make your purchase.
This may cheer WT up.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm reminded of this...
Yeah, but that movie was about how the British are so civilized, Skinnerboxed and brain-trained as to be ready and eager collaborators. Is that really the right tune to whistle?
my favorite of the troll-commenters at NTodd's is the one who explains that he (who takes the name of Locke, get it?) and George W Bush are the real liberals, while those of us who call ourselves liberals are just elitists. Presumably this is because we laugh at people who think Adam and Eve spoke English while riding their dinosaurs to Church for Christmas services exactly 6,753 years ago.
i'm confused, when did haditha massacre troops get cleared? maybe i'm a moron, but i'm getting totally confused.
Different massacre, different town. The town was Sadiqha (or something like that).
It's getting to where you can't keep your massacres straight without a scorecard.

Maybe it isn't, now that I think about it.
Good. I'm glad, because I think it's funny.

I wonder, as well. Colonel Bogey ain't a Nip tune.
I've got your consensus right here, Broder. The consensus is that the GOP has to go, and they don't get consolation positions in the next Congress or Presidency. They are gone. Done. Kaput. Finito. Wastin' away in Margaritaville.
So damn good I had to see it again.

No wonder my first $200+ electric bill has already come. And I keep the house WARM in the summer, just for such occassions.
Don't usually crack $200 until July or August. Like I said, I don't run the sucker much.
Gonna be a long summer.
"cowards..."
WWG, Yeah, but what else can one expect from a group that has no social values? I'm sorry to hear that NYM has taken punishment from those thugs. From what I've heard, she was swift-boated by the repugs and got swamped. She'll be back when she dries herself off and regroups.
I don't know about anyone else, but spidey seems a bit "fruity" to me. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

George W Bush - June 28, 2005
The troops here and across the world are fighting a global war on terror. The war reached our shores on September the 11th, 2001. The terrorists who attacked us - and the terrorists we face - murder in the name of a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom, rejects tolerance, and despises all dissent.
Honestly, do these people ever listen to themselves? They sure as Hell don't think about what they're saying, it seems.

Haditha...
and how many dozens of other incidents.
has anybody yet claimes they found a bomb on the pregnant woman being rushed to the hospital whom the GIs manning the checkpoint blew totally away because the driver--also killed--got rattled?
it's not that the GIs were technically wrong. they operated under their rules of engagement, probabaly.
the real problem, and where the crime resides, is in the matter of what the fuck USer troops were doing employing those rules in IRaq, a nation which had done no harm to the People of the USofA...
there are all kinds of tortuous rationalizations for the killing, and the killers know them all...they are expert--they have to be--at deploying them.
there's no reason those victimns had to be subjected to the rules of engagement which are, in the present instance, illegitemately applied to a totally innocent population.

Ullman and Clayton, former presidents of the National Association of Student Councils, certainly are right when they say that many of their contemporaries are frustrated by the spectacle of both parties catering to entrenched interest groups and ideological extremes.
So, meester Broder-sniffer, we can all see the catering on the republiculo side.
But where ees our caterer ala izquierda, eh?
All I have seen ees right-weengy Dems weeth no spines running from their own base time and time again.
Show me, meester Broder-sniffer, show me the catering.

couldn't we just beat the fuck out of 'em? i really despise the idea of torture.
one thing i've noticed about the internest, it can get real ugly, real fast. even amongst freinds.

O last week was just hell. The humidity was unreal. All last week by the afternoon, when I went into an airconditioned place, I found I was having reactions like hot flashes - I'd break out in a fine sweat and have to sit down. I fucking hate this!
One of the things Hannah Arendt talks about is the way totalitarian movements construct an entire parallel reality, and then insist that that reality be substituted for the actual reality. You see this with everything, from what’s going on
WGG:
Seems like the press is also a huge part of what is constructing this parallel reality.
there's no reason those victimns had to be subjected to the rules of engagement which are, in the present instance, illegitemately applied to a totally innocent population.

this is why i feel so sorry for those guys in haditha. 'cause i fuck'n know where the buck stops.
my brother was a marine. an aggressive guy by nature. when he got out of bootcamp he was a brainwashed killing machine. i'm not making a judgement here, just saying. you don't unleash that force willy nilly.
haditha is most likely a war crime (one amongst many), and fuckwit is the culpable party. rumdum too.

wonder if a connection can be made between the domination by the church and mega slums. also from buzzflash, a review of Planet of Slums:
Recently, many of us read of a gang uprising in Brazil that took many lives. It was, perhaps, a portent of things to come in a nation with many large swaths of slums that are lawless zones inhabited by criminals and the unemployed. "As the CIA grimly noted in 2002," Davis notes, "By the late 1990s a staggering one billion workers representing one-third of the world's labor force, most of them in the South[ern hemisphere], were either unemployed or underemployed."
[...]
With cool indignation, Davis argues that the exponential growth of slums is no accident but the result of a perfect storm of corrupt leadership, institutional failure, and IMF-imposed Structural Adjustment Programs leading to a massive transfer of wealth from poor to rich. Scourge of neo-liberal nostrums, Davis debunks the irresponsible myth of self-help salvation, showing exactly who gets the boot from 'bootstrap capitalism.'
There are many ticking time bombs in the world -- and the mega-slums are at the top of the list.

what movie does that review remind you of?
this idea must have been conceived by the republicans...because a bad deal like this is the only way any of them will get elected...riding on the coattails of democrats. and the democrats better smarten up and nominate howard dean. he was the only one who had the guts to say we have to get out of iraq first...and one of the few. who was against us going in in the first place. got that hillary?
how about a Reality08 ticket?
There will be unity when Republican senators get anthrax in the mail as Dems do.
There will be unity in 08 under marshal law.
I laughed so hard when I read this. You would think they would GET it by now, eh?
I wonder how long it will take. I say they will die first.
