I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I can't keep up.
Fox News is a dim network. Like CNN. Like MSNBC. Dims all.
But I can claim a double!
Okay, just a base hit. 
The Republikkkan Partee id a dim partee. Just like the KKKommunist Partee, and the National SoKKKialist Partee. Dims all.
Except You're Density, dims.
Hullooo?
I go skinny-dipping in a fetid gene pool.
Clinton said it was a “legitimate question” but challenged Wallace: “I want to know how many people in the Bush administration you asked why didn’t you do anything about the Cole.” First, Wallace responded, “we asked.” When pressed further by Clinton, Wallace demurred: “I — with Iraq and Afghanistan there’s plenty of stuff to ask.”
So in other words, Chris, you didn't ask and Bushco wasn't about to tell.
Maybe FOX can take a page fro ABC-News and simply edit the interview to cut-n-paste Clinton's words into the sentences they WANTED him to say.
But I guess that once your brain has been addled by a blowjob, you're just crazeeeeee all the time.
Fox News outdone again by those crazy liberal recording devices and transcripts.
Fox News is a dim network.
Indeed.
Apparently, Faux is putting Wallace on all over the place this weekend in an attempt to do some damage control over his getting bitch-slapped by the Mighty Clenis™.
He really does come off looking not only like a WATB of the first order, but an incredibly inept, piss-poor interviewer. Lost control of the proceedings, then whimpered like a whipped dog in an attempt to steer it back to the subject he deliberately veered away from.
I'd love to hear a comment from Chris' daddy on his performance...
The Bush administration tortures, which is sure to get them lots of information.
Problem: what part of that information is truth and what part fiction?
Same as the stopped watch accuracy question. At which two points of the day is that stopped watch accurate?
Somebody said it on an earlier thread. Mike Wallace perpetually regrets, ca. 1955, not having a napkin handy.
Chis Wallace is a pissant.

To quote what a fellow Eschatonian said on a prior thread:
YOU are SUCH a fucking idiot!
Fox News outdone again by those crazy liberal recording devices and transcripts.
You'd think they'd know they're on TV, wouldn't you?
That was the funniest part of the interview, to see Krissy Wallace hemming, hawing, and stammering.
It's almost like he was saying to himself, "I know we haven't asked anybody, how can I lie about this and give myself plausible deniability?"

Did anyone happen to catch "Real Time with Bill Maher" last night? Reza Aslan, Bradley Whitford and Maher eviscerated that bimbo chick from Fox News. She couldn't veer from the Republican talking points. She started sounding foolish and they wouldn't let up. It was the best thing I've seen on t.v. in a while.

RE Fox news: How many years and how many millions of people died before people in general finally understood that smoking really is bad for you. So here is the first public anouncement of a recent scientific study:
"Watching Fox News causes brain cancer."
(It's a proven factoid.)
After Fox News editing:
In an interview to air Sunday, Fox News Host Chris Wallace asked Bill Clinton why he didn’t respond to the USS Cole. Clinton said it was a “legitimate question” but challenged Wallace: “I want ................. Bush ........................ .. do anything ..............”
Actually, according to Wiki, the napkin faux-pas was in 1947.

Molly Ivors,
Sometimes Maher rubs me the wrong way (I mostly watched for Aslan and Whitford), but last night he was on target. I highly recommend it. Plus, Frank Rich was on satellite feed earlier in the show.

It was a great smackdown.
However, I wish Clinton hadn't said "I tried and failed", we all know how they will play that clip over and over again. Instead, he should've said, "I tried and you and all your cohorts in the right wing did your best to prevent me from succeeding". Oh well, perhaps, another time.
I am sick of hearing lately blaming Clinton for not catching OBL. To me it seems very clear that Clinton was very effective in containing the terrorists, that is why they waited for him to leave office and acted once they saw how inept the new admin. was. This should be the meme, Clinton was effective in preventing any attacks on us, while Bush was sorely lacking and allowed the worst attack to take place.
Does Fox or any other of the media give a flying fuck? No! They already have taken charge of America. They rule by FEAR.
I have come to the conclusion, like Bilmon, that I want the Refucks to win this and a couple more elections. Let the dimwit American people, the do-nothing, bought-and-paid-for Democrats eat the pile of shit they've dumped on themselves.

And broken tool is right. She trotted out all those standard issue lies, and I know Bill has a liberal audience, but they just weren't having it at all.

I wish Clinton hadn't said "I tried and failed"
Well its the truth, he did try to kill bin Laden and he failed to do which contradicts the wingnut assertion that he "did nothing". Doing nothing about bin Laden is what Bush did for the first nine months of his Presidency.
However, I wish Clinton hadn't said "I tried and failed", we all know how they will play that clip over and over again.
Probable FOXNews Headline
'Clinton Admits He's A Failure!'
Regardless whay he says they'll still spin it against Clinton no matter what.

zepper
Yeah, whatever.
we all kind of implicitly agreed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, to pretend that there was plenty of blame to go around. Everything we've learned since then about the time between Bush's inauguration and 9/11 demonstrated that this was wrong: it really was Bush's fault. While Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neill and everyone else were writing their books proving that Bush and Cheney didn't just take their eye off the ball, they dropkicked it up over the roof and out of everyone's sight to focus on Uncle Ronnie's Magical Forcefield, Cyrus Nowrateh was writing his TeeVee show. Now we have those LTEs somebody mentioned on the last thread.

Calif. Gov. Vetoes Universal Health Bill
By STEVE LAWRENCE

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a universal health care bill Friday, saying it would create a "vast new bureaucracy."
The bill would have provided every California resident with health insurance through a program administered by a new entity, the California Health Insurance Agency.

Seems FOX is looking for a big ratings boost from the Clinton interview. RNC/WH line is most important, but ratings wars are something else.

Oh, and about that ABC broadcaster--according to the Glenn Greenwald piece on Salon, ABC News was the only newser to point out that the Rethug Rebel Trio's "compromise" clearly gave BushCo and the NeoCons everything they dreamed they could get from Congress.

I wonder, if a poll was taken today, between Monkey Boy and the Big Dog, who people would want in the White House.
I'm just curious.
Anyone with access to LexisNexis ought to search for comments from Bush re the Cole, say, from 10/00 to 09/01.

NTodd,
Maybe it's because I'm in the south this weekend and my immunity from political insanity is weak from living in NE for so many years, but the local NC-SC press is rabidly attacking Clinton and the Dems for trying to hide the truth of how he protected Osama Bin from our Special Forces. But ABC and Disney (May God be Praised) were steadfast in reporting the real truth to the American people. The fact that our windows were open this morning and I didn't hear anyone else in the neighborhood scream, "OH BULLSHIT!" makes me think they will buy it again this time. Just like all the other times lately.

Did find this, though, when i narrowed the search to "USS Cole" /5 Bush.
QUESTION: Mr. President, can you comment, sir, on the reports out of (OFF-MIKE) that the FBI investigators there looking into the bomb of the USS Cole are leaving the area?
BUSH: I am not in the position to make comments on that right now. Once we finish our full investigation, our government will be willing to discuss that.

BTW, when you limit to Bush being within 5 of USS Cole, you get only 86 results.
Found this little nugget, too:
As for terrorism, 'the best way for our nation and other free nations is to punish those who would harm our citizens,' says Bush. And, referring specifically to the bombing of the USS Cole, 'if we find out who did it, there's going to be a consequence.'

Is this zepper one of the Marx Brothers? I thought they all were dead.
As far as the USS Cole is concerned, I sorta remember after 9-11 they blew up some Yemeni Sheik they said was resposible using an armed predator drone. As far as I vaguely remember between our Special Ops and the Yemeni govt. they pretty much off'd every one of the plotters.
But they didn't Nuke Yemen, so it wasn't a real retaliation.
Maybe it's because I'm in the south this weekend and my immunity from political insanity is weak from living in NE for so many years...
Most likely. Regionally it is of course going to be different. Hell, when I was teaching in Atlanta back in August, I was doing a podcast demo and brought up iTunes, which just so happened to be on the Dixie Chicks in my library. Got some hissing from that!

How can *anybody* be against universal health care? Are its opponents really willing to say that you should die because of your tax bracket?

yes, clinton's got his warts, and he's far from a lefty. and he enacted don't ask don't tell, and screwed over a lot of people on welfare, and prolly shouldnt have gotten a blowjob. on balance, though, i'd rather have him as prez than bush.

Clinton's biggest problem is that he wants everyone to like him.
What he refuses to realize is that there are cretinous dickheads who he cannot charm, and that there is such a thing as evil in the world. Dick Cheney is simply the most recent manifestation of it.

you have a very good point. when i was in high school, i refused to say the pledge because of Clinton's DADT policies. but i have a caveat: in 1992 in my speech class, i said that Clinton was the least of 3 evils, so i knew he had his problems. 
but, it's funny how perspective changes.

Enough of the witty, or non witty, (including my own) repartee. Look way up top, I suggested we all read the latest tomdispatch. What he makes clear is that the ship of empire has set sail.

Tena yells in despair, you countenance her cry because she's an old hand here.
She didn't bail on the country, your protestations about "working with Dems" over there notwithstanding.
Zepper, you got a point. Don't go overboard, but you got a point. There is a certain coziness here, and you're not part of it, but still, you should post what you want. Don't flee.
it's debatable...

yeah, clinton smacked wallace down.
but that's not how fox is going to edit the clips. they have a target audience.
nuance is not their forte.
I guess I thought Clinton could be doing something better than giving Fox ratings and a "crazed" promo, but fear not, I will wander off now to troll somewhere else. Continue echoing.

You're the crazed one. You're not paying attention to the political realities that led Fox to ask Clinton for a first interview. He went in prepared and stomped on Wallace. The regular Fox viewer with no ability to think will only confirm their vision of Clinton. No loss. The open-minded minority of Fox viewers will see facts and truth.

I followed the link and read some of the comments.
here's one of *interest:*
Pervez Musharraf recently disclosed Richard Armitage’s post-9/11 threat to attack Pakistan if they didn’t help fight the Taliban. But why has the media studiously ignored former ISI director Mahmood Ahmed’s role in helping the Taliban and al Qaeda, including wiring $100K to Mohammed Atta?

The Boregasm one, about the out of state astro turf referendums was also covered on PBS's NOW on Friday (usually has rebroadcast on Sunday nights). I also listened to Counterspin which has Jeff Cohen on discussing his new book about life in the cable news world. As he puts it, even with lots of education about such things, it's always worse than you knew or imagined. (Just like BushCo.) Good stuff.

WASHINGTON - Since President Bush's approval rating sank to the lowest level of his presidency in May, nearly six in 10 of his appearances helping Republican candidates have been closed to all media coverage.
Unlike his barnstorming leading up to the 2002 congressional elections, when he was more popular and the divisive Iraq war had not begun, Bush has yet to hold a single traditional campaign-style rally for one of his party's hopefuls this election cycle
Heh, indeedy.
He's poison.
Hitchens just ripped the pope and the whole history of the RC church and then said christian churches in general have become a 5th column against democracy and are no better that Islam.
Now, with this I agree.

I used to read Christopher Hitchens all the time in The Nation, read his books too. Little did I know he was secretly still a Trotsyite, ready for the neocon call.
Sad, sad case. Worse than Sully, who was always an opportunist. Hitchens actually had ideas, but just stopped, about five years ago.
people never pay attention to me, and sometimes they just get flat out pissed off at me.

They are coming to Austin for the same thing.
Of course, they want something like $100 or so for general admission tickets.
Hitchens just ripped the pope and the whole history of the RC church and then said christian churches in general have become a 5th column against democracy and are no better that Islam.
see? he's much better when he sticks to the truth.

Hitchens now pretends he was against the Islamofascists from day one.

Via Kos, this just in from the Times:
A stark assessment of terrorism trends by American intelligence agencies has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.
The classified National Intelligence Estimate attributes a more direct role to the Iraq war in fueling radicalism than that presented either in recent White House documents or in a report released Wednesday by the House Intelligence Committee, according to several officials in Washington involved in preparing the assessment or who have read the final document.
The intelligence estimate, completed in April, is the first formal appraisal of global terrorism by United States intelligence agencies since the Iraq war began, and represents a consensus view of the 16 disparate spy services inside government. Titled “Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States,’’ it asserts that Islamic radicalism, rather than being in retreat, has metastasized and spread across the globe.
An opening section of the report, “Indicators of the Spread of the Global Jihadist Movement,” cites the Iraq war as a reason for the diffusion of jihad ideology.
The report “says that the Iraq war has made the overall terrorism problem worse,” said one American intelligence official.

The original line-up was just fucking awesome, and a hell of a lot more than "Rock and Roll." Listen to the entirety of "Let It Bleed," or "Beggar's Banquet," in one sitting, and you see it.
But the Stones lost its soul when Mick and Keef kicked Brian Jones out of the band.
They've put out some fine stuff since then, and occasionally they really hit it out of the park. "Exile," "Sticky Fingers," "Emotional Rescue," "Mixed Emotions" - great stuff, but not as great as what they were doing just before Brian Jones was forced out.
"As long as there is one smoldering ember on the bar-b-que of Justice, you can still cook a mighty steak of Victory." --The Crimson Chin
I don't know why Hitchens hated English muffins so. Perhaps he didn't know to toast them. In any case I used to like Hitchens.
Y'know, I know what it's like to stand up and fight, even when all the power that backs this nation of lies was arrayed against me. I did it because I believe in the principle the country unleashed on the world. And if you believe in something you've gotta act to preserve it or you're just another member of the assassins' band. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't flee this mad house in a blink if I could. There's nothing cowardly in that.

CASS CITY -- A wolverine roaming the state's Thumb area in recent years is a female that likely traveled to the state from Ontario, test results show.
In February 2004, photos snapped by a state Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist marked the state's first confirmed sighting of the forest predator in the wild since reports by fur traders dating to the late 1700s and early 1800s.
In addition:
Muskegon County is reporting the first sightings of a cougar in this century.

Have a lovely storm. Growing up here with a deep porch, I loved sitting out storms sitting on the porch and watching the water pour down from the roof.
I agree that Richards is a great guitar player. It's Jagger who pisses me off, on so many levels. It's that whole art school music thing-- he's basically been a poser his entire life-- an art fag making by first ripping off southern US blacks, then by posing as a "bad boy", all the while creating a billion dollar corporation passing as a rock band. So far as I know, he's never given a red cent, or pence, or whatever the fuck they call them in Britain, to any worthy cause, nor has he spoken out publicly on anything that matters-- and a few lines bitching about Bush 45 years into his career doesn't count. The whole getting knighted thing just capped it all, so far as I'm concerned.
the Miles Davis I'm listening to is Bitches' Brew...
I love "Bitches' Brew"!
But then, I like "On the Corner"... and even "Get Up With It"...

jac - Brian was barely on either of those albums. He did ass the great slide work to "No Expectations", but that was about it. Brian was, by that time pretty far gone. He was drinking a fifth a day by 1966. In addition to a lot of other mind-altering substances. If you ever get a chance, watch One Plus One, the 1968 film about the recording of Sympathy for the Devil.
In that, Brian was barely functional
He was not forced out so much as he became a liability.

Grew up in Texas. Even the swimming pool in August in Chicago was too cold to stand. It was better in the spring-fed pools in Austin, where at least the air temperature was in triple digits.
Took me a year in Texas after that to thaw out. And it was a mild winter in Chicago.

An group of islands in the pacific that are an American protectorate. They are under our protection and are able to put made in the US labels on things imported there, assembled there or made there. The people that work there, work under slave like conditions with forced prostitution. Many people go there with the promise of work only to find they are made to work 7 days a week 15hr shifts and longer. Its was tom delay said an example of what working conditions should be like here in the US>

Re: SAD - I've got such a case of it that I used to skip a cycle every January or February. When after years of suffering from it a doctor showed up locally who had not only heard of it but was interested in the subject, I mentioned this to him and he opined that it would be a good basis for study, as light through the eyes affects pituitary function, which regulates hormone levels. Which I found interesting, because I had my first bout of SAD the year I started, you know.
By the time I met this doctor, I had already built a light box and had been using it for several years. I noticed within a week that if I overdid it by using it too long, I would almost get manic. Friends would call up and I would be talking so fast they'd say, "you need to be using that thing a little less." But truly, it was a revelation the difference that light therapy made. I spent about 10 or 12 years with debilitating depressions every year that set in after Christmas and often didn't lift until April.

Whoops, forgot to add: the SAD doc mentioned a case in which a woman with "nerve blindness" (which meant no light stimulation could reach the pituitary) ceased menstruating due to lack of pituitary stimulation and the resultant lack of correct hormonal systems.
Lots of delicate connections amongst our various systems.

Chirac: Bin Laden intel not confirmed
PARIS - A leaked French intelligence document raises the possibility Osama bin Laden died of typhoid, but President Jacques Chirac said Saturday the report was "in no way whatsoever confirmed" and officials from Kabul to Washington expressed skepticism about its accuracy.
The regional French newspaper l'Est Republicain printed what it described as a copy of a confidential document from the DGSE intelligence service citing an uncorroborated report from a "usually reliable source" who said Saudi secret services were convinced that bin Laden had died.
The document, dated Thursday, was sent to Chirac and other top French officials, the newspaper said.
"This information is in no way whatsoever confirmed," Chirac said when asked about the document. "I have no comment."
Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry offered no details. "I've heard the reports, but I have no information at all. I have no idea," spokesman Mansour al-Turki told The Associated Press.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she had "no comment and no knowledge" about the report, while presidential spokesman Blair Jones said the White House could not confirm the report's accuracy. But two U.S. intelligence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said U.S. agencies had no information to suggest bin Laden was dead or dying.
Why do the intel officials have to remain hush hush - when Condi Rice, and Chirac have said basically the same thing. doesn't make sense.

This is the time of the year that the good ones start coming through.
I can remember the first fall after I moved into my current house. The wind and rain was so bad I could not see the tree in my back yard.
When the rain slacked up enough where I could see the tree, it was almost bent over to 45 degrees.
The worst thing, was that it was a Tuesday night, and trash day is Wednesday.
The entire neighborhood was covered in tree limbs and trash.
Moe - re the blind people and SAD: it depends. A lot of blindness is in the brain's inability to process images. Unless the nerve connection to the pituitary were disturbed, blindness wouldn't in and of itself cause SAD.
Oh you guys should be seein' this. Burns is unglued, he's fallin' back on "here we go again' as a complete nonsequiter, claiming dems are blocking legislation to increase educational grants and loans. The audience is moanin'. . .
Tester fried Burns about tax dollars. Burns said he was spending his money wisely. Tester said it wasn't his money it was our money. Then Burns said Tester just wasted dollars and was more than happy to spend tax dollars. Tester said yes he was more than happy to spend tax dollars on schools, healthcare, roads and ect. for the state. Not like Burns who sent footlockers full of money to no bid contracts in Iraq. Tester also mentioned that Burns helped double the budget in just five years with nothing to show for it. This is just too great. The moderator is going way over time because Burns keeps shootin his stupid mouth off. This is just great.

Tena, that's a lot of the reason so many Albertans ended up in Arizona - apart from it being a direct shot south/north. The climate really isn't all that different - just at the opposite ends.
In prowling for locations that I can afford to live in, I discovered the tiny town of Midway BC, in the Okanagan - the thing of that part of the Okanagan is that it is in fact the very northernmost tip of the Sonoran Desert. No kidding. There's even an abandoned village up there named Phoenix.... Midway also has the largest garlic farms outside of Gilroy, but that's a different story. Hot or cold, the Sonoran Desert is always in charge. It's 88F and 18% humidity right now. Good weather.

One of the Jewish women who had been a childhood friend of Anne's, and also a victim of the Nazi concentration camps, said 'we always said that we could give up this freedom and that freedom, it is not so bad to be unable to go to the theatre, we can watch films at home, there are Jewish musicians, it is not so bad that we cannot go to the orchestra...they took away the liberties one by one, so it was not as easy to notice.'

Or else god is punishing your neighborhood for being infested with republicans.

We are not being punished for having too many Republicans. We are being punished because the Democrats don't get out to vote.

Mancs Against Tanks: 50,000 march against New Labour. p
I should add that there was an article in Car & Driver magazine rating major cities for various traits.
The rudest were Boston
The most reckless were Los Angeles
The most incompetent were Atlanta
Buckeye--Caught me out there. Atlanta traffic is a real hazard. We have virtually no zoning laws.
So you have 18-wheelers running down 2-lane residential streets (like mine) at any old speed they like.
Daily hazard, not the hazard I was talking about
Draco | 09.23.06 - 6:49 pm
My friend, who's lived in Atlanta for 8 years now, is the envy of her friends because her commute is less than 1/2 hour (at one point it was 15 min.)
Dayton's zoning laws aren't that bad, the semis can't go down just any residential street. Alas, they can go down mine

Got to keep a stiff upper lip old boy, can't let a minor problem like having an engine fall off ruin the enire flight now can we?

Hawaii votes in heated Senate primary
HONOLULU - Hawaii residents choose between liberal five-term incumbent Sen. Daniel Akaka (news, bio, voting record) and nervy challenger Rep. Ed Case (news, bio, voting record) in Saturday's Democratic primary.
Case, 53, faced the difficult challenge of unseating the 82-year-old Akaka, who led in pre-election polls and who has cited his consistent votes against the Iraq war and his 30 years of Senate experience as reasons voters should back him.
Wow. Alabama needs a new FG kicker. 0 for 4

agave, really? I could not stop laughing at the overacting, ridiculous dialogue, and laughable plot: but that is just me I guess.
Seems like the biggest problem with traffic is when people have bad driving habits in different ways. If they all drive shitty in the same way, no problem, but when they drive shitty in lots of different ways, well, big prob.
Not around 4LG.

Thousands at city's anti-war demo
Thousands of anti-war protesters have gathered in Manchester for what organisers said was "one of the biggest mobilisations outside London".
Demonstrators were protesting against government policies in the Middle East and nuclear weapons, on the eve of the Labour Party conference in the city.
The theme was "Time To Go" - a call to get troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Police estimated 20,000 people took part. Stop The War Coalition had said it expected about 100,000.
One of the organisers, Yasmin Ataullah of the British Muslim Initiative, told the BBC they put the figures of demonstrators at 40,000 or higher.

To be fair, Atlanta's road system sucks ass, so it's pretty easy to be incompetent.

Boston is pretty bad. Almost nobody uses turn signals when moving from a parked position on the side of the street. The idea seems to be to slink quickly into the flow of cars and using a signal would make the other cars notice and stop you from getting in.
My sister drove in Istanbul but refused my offer to use the car in Boston. She called me crazy to suggest it.
And only yesterday, while waiting for the light to turn green at a large and busy intersection, the car in front of me decided to do a three-point-turn...
I'm still alive.
I do agree that Atlanta has the most incompetent drivers.
Miami has the worst drivers in the known universe. There are no traffic laws, everyone drives according to the laws of their own country or planet of origin, and most drivers have one hand holding a cell phone and the other hand holding coffee and a Glock.

I'm presuming that it fell off shortly after takeoff, as jets do need all engines to take off.
The May 25, 1980 crash of AA flight 1991 occured because the engine fell off on the runway during takeoff. AA kept saying 'it can fly without the engine'. Yeah, but it can't take off. Or if it does, it doesn't go very far.
agave - yes - there was See's Candy, which I bought in Phoenix Sky Harbor, tucked into my satchel, lugged thru the search area, cherished thruout the flight, toted into the NM State Fair, pushed to one side after buying my superb Jemez Mudhead so as to make room - and then handed over to Woody to share with the visitors. See's Variety sampler, to be exact. The kind with the English toffee covered with nuts and the fruity ones, and the chocolate covered everything. A whole box.
Tena? Do you need me to send you a box? They're only round the corner at Camelback & Central....
Brown prepares for 'speech of his life'
Chancellor has worked for months on party conference address which could make or break his leadership hopes
Eight days ago, Gordon Brown's team of Treasury aides was wedged into a screened-off dining area in Morton's steakhouse, a slab of Americana on the fourth floor of the Oriental hotel in central Singapore. Mr Brown, a steak and chips man, loves dining at the Washington DC branch of Morton's in Georgetown, but on this occasion he was late for dinner.
Despite having just touched down at Changi airport for the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the chancellor was upstairs in his suite hard at work.
"What's he doing?" an aide was asked? "Working on his conference speech," came the reply."
"But isn't that still 10 days away?" "What you've got to remember is that this is the speech of his life."
agave, really? I could not stop laughing at the overacting, ridiculous dialogue, and laughable plot: but that is just me I guess.

Really, think about it. The Boogeyman goes without the satisfaction of something blowed up or hanging from a gibbet. Bit of a come down.
while waiting for the light to turn green at a large and busy intersection, the car in front of me decided to do a three-point-turn...
I use Boston-area driving as example in class when discussing media access control. Short version:
4-way stop, car to my right has right of way. Car behind the first goes when the one ahead goes, which I'm prepared for because I know the "rule" is that if you're on the ass of somebody ahead of you, you're technically a part of them. As I pull into the intersection, however, I noticed a third car zooming in from the same side. Guy doesn't even pretend to stop, honks and flips me off.
Ah, Massholes...

I'll not bring up the issue if Miani driverr--they are a multi-national group.
But Atlanta is a place where city meets country, and we have all manner of odd accidents, like hogs and chickens escaping in dozens or hundreds from ruined trucks.
Or building accidents: "There are over 15 ladders spilled on whatever road"
"There are 3 tons of bricks on wherever."
Such is daily announced on the morning news, traffic reporting.

No one should ever question Bill Clinton's leadership in the war on terror. There was never a terrorist problem when he was in office. Bush caused all terrorism retroactively.
