FISA is simple and straightforward. The idiot Republican governing people have not complied, for not reason whatsoever. These Republican governing persons have put Verizon and others at risk, for no reason whatsoever.

Let our Repulicans-in-power just go back to complying with the law. They will save their own butts, and the Verizon butts, and all our butts.

This is a CRAZY controversy, because it never need have happened. No reason Verizon ever should have worried; no reason idiot Republicans ever should have bypassed FISA. They could have done exactly what they actually have done, and complied!

Crazy! Please vote the crazy Republicans out!

1. Do not invent a problem. As you grow up, you and your fiancee will face plenty of real problems. This resentment of wealth is like resenting good health or natural beauty or God-given talent. Preposterous. Chill!

2. How do you know that HIS (the rich kid's) mom was not addicted to dope as well? And if she was not, is that not a good thing?

3. This is an opportunity for you to grow and to learn. If you chose not to grow, not to learn, you are free to wallow in your childish resentment for the rest of your life. But if you shed this soap opera idea now, you will have an opportunity for a deeper richer life, and an opportunity to face more important problems.

If you do not marry him, I will. And not for his money. You like this guy. Leave your silliness behind. Or don't. If you reject him now, you can reinforce your current silly ideas about yourself and about life. You can make a career of being a tough, boring cliche. Is that what you want?

He gladly accepts their support, with the "wink, wink, noodge, noodge" another poster mentioned. And the christianists want a full-blown theocracy. You can hear them and read what they say. No doubt about them

We really do not know W. Bush's beliefs. But he allows the kooks to flourish, and he lets them believe that he is on their side. Neither W. Bush nor the christianists know much about the awful bloody battles of the Reformation. And they do not care.

Bush does not care just because he is a lite-wate. And the kooks do not care because they believe God always kills His opponents, and often kills His champion-martyrs as well.

The road to Armageddon is paved with ignorance and bloody silliness.

Somebody (I will do it!) needs to be this confrontational with G.W. Bush. Professor Bollinger, will you do it? Walter Cronkite, will you do it?

Achmedinijian deserves it, but he is small-time compared with G.W. Bush. Bush is guilty of crimes worse than Achmed. Bush has had a bigger budget and more time.

Let's nail him. Mr. President, we will note your failures to answer, and we will hold them against you.

Thou shalt not covet thy boyfriend's family's shekls. It is that simple. 100% your bad. Get over it immediately, or leave the poor rich kid alone.

That southern border never has been "secure." Nor has any border in any country, ever, anywhere, except in time of war.

Give up! Let them in, and make them legal. Then nobody can exploit them, any more than they exploit the rest of us. Novel, simple, practical thought, no?

In the meantime (now), this xenophobia is messing up our relation with Canada. Detroiters and Ontarionians used to drive back and forth just for fun, but now this serious secure border crap is changing our way of life.

It's baloney! Only one terrorist ever has tried to come in from Canada, and they caught him (Y2K). We do not want or need all this secure border stuff.

None of the three Democratic Presidential frontrunners has said that he or she will pull out of Iraq, end torture, or anything. Can you believe it? It's all pussy-footing.

Somebody, please say it! It will get you a great deal of attention and support. Then we will have an alternative to consider, rather than just picking between nuances and assumptions.

We can say that we serve, "Housemade Water," if we wish to be fancy, when we are taking the water from the kitchen faucet. And maybe we can serve, "Authentic Freerange Water," if we get it from the hose in the backyard.

And perhaps we can serve "Spicey Force-Fed Barbecued Pork," if we ever catch and fry our Current Occupant (maybe with some sort of Currant Occupant sauce).

On this web site, do they have an "Other" option?

What if you said, "Can't stand Segasauruses?" Or, "Can't stand off-key clarinette-playing?"

Do they allow for actual dislikes? Or do they try to jam you into their preconceptions? Do you care about their preconceptions?

Can't stand silly web sites.

There's a right way to do stuff. Look at Ashley's Book of Knots, and read Mein Kampf before you try this stuff at home. Kids today don't know from nuthin.

Look at Woodward's second book about W.Bush. Bush and his people were almost completely open about their plans to invade no matter what. They let Woodward see all their preparations, even while they still had their phoney-baloney diplomatic and UN ruses in place.

1. North American auto workers are not slow. They are the most productive industrial workers in the history of the world.

2. American cars are not unreliable. The fact that our cars are so much better than they used to be actually hurts car sales, because people do not need new cars as often as they used to.

3. The UAW never has been a corrupt, unprogressive union. The UAW always has backed free trade and technology, and it always has looked after its members.

You posters who repeat old cliches are at least fifteen years behind the times. And those who assume the UAW is anything like the Teamsters or Mineworkers or the Steelworkers, you are just wrong.
