Oh, ples, please, please, please, please put Condi Rice on the ticket - top OR bottom.
[Read the article: The expertise of Dick Morris]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As both Doug Feith AND Phillip Sheldon tell the tale, Rice was a monument to incompetence as National Security Advisor.
Why?
We don't know for sure - maybe the rumors about George taking a walk on the wild side are true, maybe its just that Condi would rather talk sports with the Prez than do her job.
What we do know is that when 9/11 came, there were stacks and stacks of memos sitting unread on her desk, memos that a competent National Security Advisor would have used to make the president pay attention to the obvious and identified threat.
Condi: Bring her on.

For three trillion dollars, Saddam Hussein would have invaded Afghanistan and killed Osama bin Laden and turned over the bloated corpse and given Bush a blow job.

Last time I checked, Hillary Clinton voted For Authorizing the Use of Military Force Against Iraq.
[Read the article: Matthews rails against "Clinton-centric world" ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A clueless and gutless vote, to be sure. So, yes, technically Hillary gets some share of the blame for those 4,000 dead troops.
Or is she saying now that she made that vote while under heavy sniper fire????

Just about par for the Bush Administration:

Praise Jebus!!!!

Why Dick Cheney's daughter is allowed to remain a member of this grotesque beast of a Republican party:

Some people can handle pot; others can't.
[Read the article: I'm 21 and addicted to pot -- but I'm doing just great!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sounds like you can.
I've known many successful people - artists, musicians, lawyers, doctors . . . who smoked pot in college . . . and who will still burn a bowl on occasion.
I never went to class stoned, I don't go to work stoned, I still roll a joint on occasion. I could smoke pot 4-5 nights in a row and then not have any for six months . . . nice thing aobut pot . . . it's a lot easier to put down than cigarettes were.
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you . . .

Hillary Clinton signed a pledge that specifically addressed the issues in Michigan and Florida.
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton's petition ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She pledged, and I quote:
Four State Pledge Letter 2008
Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina
August 31, 2007
WHEREAS, Over a year ago, the Democratic National Committee established a 2008 nominating calendar;
WHEREAS, this calendar honors the racial, ethnic, economic and geographic diversity of our party and our country;
WHEREAS, the DNC also honored the traditional role of retail politics early in the nominating process, to insure that money alone will not determine our
presidential nominee;
WHEREAS, it is the desire of Presidential campaigns, the DNC, the states and the American people to bring finality, predictability and common sense to the
nominating calendar.
THEREFORE, I _____________, Democratic Candidate for President, pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential election primary or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as "campaigning" is defined by rules and regulations of the DNC.
My dictionary says the meaning of participate is:
par·tic·i·pate (pär-ts-pt)
v. par·tic·i·pat·ed, par·tic·i·pat·ing, par·tic·i·pates
v.intr.
To take part in something: participated in the festivities.
To share in something: If only I could participate in your good fortune.v.tr.
The clear meaning of Hillary's pledge is that she would not only NOT campaign in Florida or Michigan, she would not participate, i.e., take part in OR share in the outcome of those primaries.
Look - she's allegedly a lawyer. Did she not READ what she signed, like she didn't read the NIE before voting for AUMF?? Or is she simply a simpleton? LEARN TO READ, HILLARY . .. before you sign something.
Or is this just one more "depends on what the definition of IS is" moment for the Clintons??

Jed: She agreed not to participate in the primary.
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton's petition ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The arguable import of said pledge is that by doing so, she agreed not to accept any delegates selected by that process.
By all means, allow seating of Michigan and Florida, as long as the delegates support NEITHER Obama or Clinton, as they are pledged NOT TO ACCEPT any delegates won in the questionable process.
A simpler solution: give Clinton 55% of the delegates from MI and FLA and give Obama 45% of the delegates from MI and FLA.
Or is that not GOOD ENOUGH for the ethcially challenged Clintonistas???

And just what have the fucking historians accomplished besides killing off a number of perfectly fine oxygen producing trees for the pulp wood they print their books on??
[Read the article: Through a bong, darkly]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Will anyone who gives a shit what some history professor from the University of St. Andrews says please raise his/her hand??
If nothing else . . . the 60's were fun. Gerard de Groot . . . not so much fun.
At some time in the future, our best pal the Sun will run out of fuel. He will then swell into a red giant . . . expanding past the orbit of Mars. The earth will be a charred cinder. All of human history will have produced nothing of lasting importance.
Oh, well, thanks very much for harshing our mellow, Prof. de Groot.

MCain gets confused about what he had for breakfast:
[Read the article: McCain gets confused about al-Qaida again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat?? Grits or scrapple?
There's a reason they call His Senescence the senior Senator from Arizona.
