It's like that fabulous weight-loss program - "I need to get really fat, maybe 300lbs or more. That way it will be easier to get down to a size 4 again!"
It's a good day for McDonalds! Supersize me!
"Bush blunders all the time. At one time, people thought, "Gee, he's one of us."
Now we know we don't want "one of us" running the country.
I have worked in retail - high end women's fashion - where customers are more likely to be slimmer than the average American woman. Probably no more than 7% of women are size 2 or smaller and about 20% of those women are NOT naturally that size - they have the emaciated look, dried out hair and skin that are signs of eating disorders.
is that Reagan was an old guy, probably already suffering from Alzheimers, while Gonzales is just a bad liar.
Sounds like the old "Straight Talk Express" has turned into the "BS Beltway Local", making stops at Neoconville and the towns of Reichwingnut and Looneytunes. I want a refund on my busfare!
Probably dropped it off in the return slot at Blockbuster instead of the usual porn they watch. Maybe it will show up on YouTube?
"A lot of religious people are going to vote for an Christian man with a stable marriage and a history of serving the community rather than a cross-dressing, adulterous, self-serving, self-righteous clown, regardless of his race or party."
Depends on which religious voters you are talking about. The Religious Right will NOT vote for a Dem unless HE is a white anti-choice, anti-gay preacher.
They will either hold their noses and vote for Guiliani or just stay home.
I think this guy's dedication is worth a much better assignment - perhaps some craphole like one of the 'stans - Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan. No Stella Artois there!
Do they have a van that goes around and hands out money, clothes, food, daycare, etc for the fetuses that are carried to term?
Many of these repug dopes don't remember that France provided $20 million to fund our revolt against the British.
I wonder how Bu$hco is going to turn this around and find someway to blame Iran?
"he better decide pretty quickly if he hopes to have a shot"
Gore might be better off to wait until later in the year when the "real" people start paying attention to the 2008 election. Right now, the only people focusing are pundits and the political insiders.
Gore has so much name recognition and alot of people (Dems and swing voters) feel GWB presidency has been a debacle. They also think he deserves a shot, 2000 was stolen from him.
Medved blithering is so stupid it makes my head hurt. Gimme some Vicodin - where's Rushbo with my drugs?
"Next stop.....Panderville"
Wait a minute, my ticket says White House!
Why should anyone believe anything this guy has to say? After weeks of pontificating about how the "surge" was so important, McCain managaed to be MIA on Saturday for the Senate vote. When called to account - he didn't show up - 'nuf said!
Robert Franklin - and remember neither John Wayne nor Ronald Reagan served in WWII - they just played war heroes on the screen!
on our Shrub-in-Chief? He has people who are supposed to know if there is a civil war over there in Iran, Iraq, whatever...
Anyway, didn't we make our choice of prezdint based on who we'd like to have beer with? King George II seems like a fun kinda guy- he's friendly, has an airplane, looks like a nice package in his flight suit - party!
Not everyone knows that muscle takes up less space on the body, but weighs more. So Serena Williams at 165lbs is strong, fit and looks like it; while an inactive couch potato at 165lb might look like a tubbo.
"Who is this woman too embarrassed to tell a 12-year-old girl what vaginas are? How could this poor girl have been deprived of such basic anatomical information?"
Wake up! This is 'Merika, land of faith-based science classes and abstinence-only health education. The parents are far stupider than the kids - I'm sure this girl has heard more detail on Oprah, Grey's Anatomy, CSI!
Well, if we are at war with them because they attacked us - how come no one is looking for Osama bin Laden? I think he's driving a cab in Brooklyn!
How about a tax on those profiting from the "war on terra"? Like Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater, Exxon, etc? That would go a long way.
when employees go out on 6 week medical leave? Some companies can hire temps if the leave period is defined. But when someone takes a week here or there it creates a heavier workload for other employees, and they don't get any additional compensation.
Diane Keaton and the rest of the cast of Family Stone were horrible! What a terrible family, not funny or clever - just cruel and irritating. I would have rather been raised by wolves.
Who cares? Boring!
It's too bad that Clinton and Obama are sucking up so much of the money at this early stage. Neither stands a chance in the general election. If you think repugs tried to rig (and probably were successful) the 2000 and 2004 elections, you ain't seen nothin yet!
Separately, while Clinton and Obama have a variety of attractive characteristics, I think alot of the people feel intimidated into supporting them, in an attempt to avoid charges of racism or sexism.
While I would love to have a woman or African American president, it is crucial that we do not have another devasting republican administration - McCain, Guiliani, Romney, et al are dangerous for this country.
The gender-sensing technology they described was designed to be used in public places, probably like the TV-type screen seen in the movie "Majority Report".
It seems that trying to spontaneously deliver gender-specific advertising in a public place probably has little value to potential advertisers. More likely to alienate customers (of all genders).
