Couldn't we just cross out Hewes and add our own names? Back when the intertubes wuz new, I was working late and thought no one was in the orifice and browsed a bit of porn. Some hot young thing working swings busted me to my lead engineer. He said, "I hear you've been browsing porn on the company dime." I said, "Who isn't?" Never heard another word.

Im still wondering about Bill Clinton saying sanctions are working while akmaydjinedjad visits riad.
a heck works.
k, despite obama called iran a threat 1 day before and clinton was probably eager to help his wife in an election campaign its still as meaningful as DUMMHOLE.
I cant get rid of the thought that this entire embassy tragedy was caused by the CIA and the Iranians are a sheer product of the US.
I mean why the heck did Bush attack Iraq after 911? It is a logical as to smear shit on a wall.
they dance around iran like a holy cow and its becoming more and more contradictive.

otay, I had to eat & stuff, so reposting :
There has been a new dog in the neighborhood, fine looking animal. Male mixed German Shepard, lab, chow. Black with white undertones on chest & feet. Probably one yr. old, friendly, likes people. My old 12 yr. old boy dog has adopted him. Seems to worry about if it has food etc..
When its cold out my dog, Stub, wakes me up at sunrise so he can go out to check on him. Will take dog biscuits outside, drop them in the driveway, then call for the stray dog. Stub makes me take his food dish outside or else he won't eat (so Stray dog can share). Today I gave him a bone and the stray dog was there. Stub, who has never shared a bone in his life, took his bone over to where Stray Dog was, & gave it to him. This is totally out of character for Stub, he takes down the girl dog every time she get near anything he wants.
I don't know if the dog was dumped in the country, or belongs to some neighbor a couple of mile down the road. I feed him, pet him, even worm him.

And the whole this is the writers/director saying "Well we know that historians have shown that the term Dark Ages is really a misnomer....but we're going with it anyway. And although we know it was all about darkness and violence and death. We're really excited about portraying the death, violence, plague, and the make up people have done a great job making everyone look pale and dirty."

In an exclusive interview, Madrid said she wouldn’t be surprised if Iglesias is telling the truth, because she believes Domenici and Wilson may have had a hand in another massive public corruption scandal prosecuted by his office.
She said Iglesias, a Republican, kept her office from having any involvement in prosecution of the state treasurer scandal. She believes that was “probably” done at the urging of Republican operatives and designed to give Wilson fuel to attack Madrid for doing nothing about the scandal.
From TPM, that's former New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid, who lost her 2006 bid to unseat Rep. Heather Wilson by just 861 votes.

Russian riot police have broken up a rare opposition march in St Petersburg.
Several thousand opposition supporters gathered to protest against what they see as attempts by President Vladimir Putin to stifle democracy.
They broke through a police cordon and marched down Nevsky Prospekt, the city's main street, shouting "freedom!" and slogans hostile to Mr Putin.
The organisers say police beat demonstrators with batons and made a number of arrests.

The volcano, used as a setting in the Lord of the Rings films, last erupted 11 years ago, leaving a wall of tephra - a mixture of ash, sandy particles and heavier material - on top of the crater rim. The barrier is already springing leaks as the lake rises, and unless an eruption or earth tremor triggers the lahar first, scientists expect complete collapse within a few weeks from mid-March. The later the rupture, the bigger the lahar will be: the lake is already deeper than the levels that caused floods in 1953 and 1975, and this time more than a million cubic metres of mud and rocks will career down the mountain. TV companies are fighting for exclusive rights to film the spectacular event.

About 40 boats will block the Kennet and Avon canal in Wiltshire on Saturday in protest at cuts in government funding for waterways.
It follows a similar protest on the waterway in November.
Walkers, anglers and local MP Michael Ancram are giving their support to the protest, which will see the waterway at the Wharf in Devizes blocked.
Defra has said that the last seven years has seen an investment of more than £57.5m in the county's waterways.

The Islamic State of Iraq posted the three-minute video on the internet on Saturday, showed the security men lined up and shot in the back of the head after being captured earlier this week.
The tape firsts depicts the 18 men, some in Iraqi military uniforms, blindfolded, hands tied behind their backs and lined up in three rows before a screen. The men in the front row are kneeling. Armed masked men were seen pointing machine-guns at the captives.

The ouster of Mr. Bogden and seven other United States attorneys has set off a furor in Washington that took the Bush administration by surprise.
Why would a newspaperman, whose job it is to exercise skepticism about those in power, say something like 'took (them) by surprise,' taking it upon himself to speak for their mental state with an assumption that pretty much lets them off scot free wrt any sinister motivations?

Her behavior is so over the top, that I really believe she's unhinged and pitifully needy.
The righties laugh at her and encourage her lunacy; and because she's probably a lonely, inadequate creature, she deludes herself with the fantasy that she is politically influential, when in fact she contributes nothing and is, instead, a blight on the political landscape.

taking it upon himself to speak for their mental state with an assumption that pretty much lets them off scot free wrt any sinister motivations?
fourmorewars
I don't think it lets them off.
The fact that Bush's Brain is too tone deaf to have realized that firing a bunch of prosecutors looking into Republican corruption would create a shitstorm doesn't mean they didn't have evil motives...

Or, if you have the power to shove your version down the throats of the losers, particularly when you control the education system.
It's actually more complicated than that. The proposed National History Standards, which would have created a test for history (and hence money attached to it) were scuttled by conservative groups who felt they weren't sufficiently celebratory or great white man centered. With No Child Left Behind tying money to what's tested, schools (and especially elementary and middle schools) have actually cut back on history. Thus it's been been cutting back on history that actually deals thoughtfully with topics like Native Americans and slavery rather than trying to "shove down the kids throats" some hooray imperialism and white supremacy version.

See now, if *I* ran the schools, I'd not worry too much about the state-sponsored line, I'd just make sure all the students got some schooling in, well, I don't know what you'd call it, exactly, but 'dialectical argumentation' or something like that.
I remember reading about the Soviets trumpeting their system as being so much better than capitalism, blah blah...when you think about it, any child hearing a government state that its system was superior would subconsciously be aware that there existed an argument. Hence, if you were to kind of teach the history of ideas, along with giving students the intellectual toolbox to inquire for themselves, I don't think any particular dogma could just breeze along without being challenged.
It's the intellectual curiosity/think for yourself gene that the education system so badly fails to implant, IMO.

"One person whose spirits appeared lifted was Felicia Stafford, who said the tornado had blown the roof off her house and ruined its wood floors. “He’s very nice, loving and warm,” she said after meeting Mr. Bush. “He’s got very soft hands.”"
Hank Hill on George W. Bush:
HANK: Oh, my God! His handshake! It's limp!
HANK: This man could be the next leader of the free world. We're gonna have nutjob Third World dictators walking all over us when they find out the man in charge doesn't have a strong enough finger to push the button.
HANK: See that guy's reaction when Bush shakes his hand? Surprise, then disappointment. Surprise, then disappointment.
