Ok, Abramoff has the dirt on a whole lot of heavy political hitters...
Heavy 'republican' hitters...
The 'Justice' department is run by people at the end of leashes held by 'republican' heavy hitters...
I'm surprised the man is still alive...
I'd be even more surprised if anything constructive comes out of this 'Justice' department investigation and 'plea bargain'...
Remember Watergate? I firmly believe that the cancer that almost brought down America was largely left untouched and has relapsed with a vengeance to finish the job now... The malignancy ran farther and deeper and wider through the 'republican' party then was ever discovered... Tricky 'Dick' Nixon fell on the sword for the party, not America...
Sorry to be so pessimistic. We are talking about 'politics' here and the Bush league 'republicans' play for keeps... Political 'hacks' control many agencies. Expecting a gut wrenching expose of the 'republican' party and a pogrom of 'evildoers' is unrealistic...
It is very entertaining though hearing the 'they got money too' patented 8 year old defense...
But the current 'christian' movement isn't about changing themselves to be right with 'God', but changing the world to be right with them.
Bush's 'faith based initiatives' showed that by spreading the bucks around to the unethical leaders of the 'christian' movement, Bush can get HUGH benefits...
Just look at the Salon article about Justice Day III... Blacks apparently are ready to throw themselves at the feet of racist and greedy evil men (and women) and throw themselves back into a racist form of government all with the help and support of people who should know better but are blinded by the money and power...
2006 will be a very interesting year... Especially if the 'religious' rights version of a culture war succeeds in hoodwinking the minority populations of America in time for the next selections in November...
This is being marketed by people that didn't have the courtesy to NOT procreate!
Given the sex-type-thing scandals amongst the 'religious' right and the startling news that these 'virginal' teens don't consider oral sex s-e-x, this 'campaign' just has creepy written all over it...
I think that people's lack of being able to deal with their own sexuality on an adult basis is what is making this country the new laughing stock of the 'civilized' world. These people really need to get a life and a grip on reality. The horse is out of the barn and disavowing any assistance for keeping the girls 'unpregnant' and 'uninfected' should be a greater goal than being 'virginal' in a very cold and vicious world...
As long as humans are allowed to feel their sexuality there will be sex on Valentines day. The weirder part of Valentines Day is the massacre that it 'celebrates'...
It's amazing the depths the 'religious' right will fall to prove the point that humans shouldn't have fun being human... Yet another societal event corrupted by the 'puritans'...
This guy is a joke.
I live in the area where this guy lives. According to the local paper, this 'man' admitted in court and 'took responsibility' for the child. Now he wants to deny that?
For this little boy I have only to say that the baby didn't get there on it's own. It took TWO (2) human beings to create that child. He was one of them. The 'I can't get pregnant' line falls right along side those other clichés like 'The check is in the mail', 'I'm on the pill', 'She has a great personality' and 'It's not about the money'...
This boy-man is victimizing the woman AND the judicial system with this ridiculous lawsuit.
He should be locked up for being stupid, not honored for sticking up for cowardly fathers that would rather hide than face the consequences for the life they HELPED create.
I’m insulted that he claims to be a man when he obviously is just a little jerk that knocked up some woman and now wants to destroy her AND their child. A poster child for male stupidity and ‘testosterone thinking’, but not a victim of some ruthless woman and a 'run amok' judicial system… This is what my dad would call a ‘growing up moment’… It's time this one did.
You did a nice Colbert imitation...
Caitlin is a 'DINO'...
My mom would have just about killed for the silver spoon up her butt. She wanted to stay home but my dad was in the Army (twice in Vietnam) and the family needed the money in a bad way. BTW:The Army pay is a disgrace to the men that went over there and gave their lives for this country! You, Ms. Flanagan, disgrace the memory of my mother who wished for the luxury of a 'stay at home job' with a 'stay at home nanny'...
You are preaching to the wrong choir there lady... Talk to the real spoiled rich and worthless women: the wives of the spoiled and worthless republican toadies of the corporations... But, gosh, stay a democrat. The Lieberman's need the company...
What about 'true basic'?
Could it be that the demise of BASIC is also linked to the paranoia about birthing a whole new horde of hackers and crackers that will cause mischief on the internets?
I seem to remember some translators from BASIC to C. HAH, try to find a straight 'C' compiler anymore... I think that you can still download Turbo C for free and there was a version of BASIC and Pascal by Borland as well.
Yes, it's a shame that current support for BASIC has died. Ahh the halcyon days of my youth with a TRS-80 and a cassette deck...
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The Maine fight was supposed to be the dress rehearsal for repealing California's Prop. 8 -- but gay marriage lost
Once one obtains Seriousness credentials in the Washington media, they are irrevocable no matter one's conduct.
