  • This was the election that had a 40-point difference between the exit polls and the results, right? The one that used electronic voting machines without paper trails?

  • I was simply returning the favor for your "1" ratings, petey.

    Have a nice day.

  • Gotta watch out for all those radical Christians flying planes into buildings, blowing up public transportation systems, and taking over crappy central Asian countries to use as staging areas for world domination. I don't know how you sleep at night.

    Now I can't wait for your inane and incorrect rebuttal.

  • Hey -- I was advocating 150,000 troops into Afghanistan back on Sep. 12th. I couldn't understand why everyone thought Bush was so bold and strong when he send in a few Special Forces and failed to secure the borders of that country.

    You realize that Afghanistan is landlocked, and that even if it had major ports, it would have taken several months to move 150,000 men there, right? Moving them, their equipment, and supplying them entirely by air? Interesting. Why don't you write that one up and have it on my desk on Monday?

    As we later learned, Osama escaped at Tora Bora.

    You have proof of this? Because, wow, the military never did, and they were there.

  • Yes, if only we could solve the world's problems through concentrated and sustained thinking, bending matter through bending of the mind. Alas.

  • "Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.


    "None of these beliefs are based in fact."

  • You realize that every remotely Republican or conservative law student has some dealings with the Federalist Society, right?

  • They will point out that his views on many issues are unknown, that where they are known they are cause for concern, and will insist on a thorough examination.  If he will not answer questions they should vote against him for that reason alone.   

    Kinda like how the Republicans voted against Ginsberg for refusing to answer questions?

  • So, after all the serpentine maneuvers elsewhere involving the likely nomination of an Hispanic or a female Justice, Bush is going with the ultimate Wonder Bread nominee, John Roberts. 

    That wouldn't be a touch of racism, would it?

  • I think the statute says that if the employee is originally offered $10,000, then rejects it, gets a lawyer, and subsequently wins an award of $10,100, the lawyer gets a fee on the $100.
