How is it that so many religious people are evil? Consider the Crusades, both historical and ongoing (Iraq, yes?). Monotheism is a means by which central governments can exercise maximum control over the greatest number of people.

There's something going on, but it certainly is not Christianity. Nor any other brand name.

Try not to leave a fucking e-trail, and try not to use your fucking ATM card to purchase the rat poison. Sheesh(tm).

Congratulations! You've achieved equality!!! Oh, fuck, you mean that what you REALLY wanted was equality but to be treated like a princess..? Sorry -- can't have both.

"Women want toasted ice" -- Arab proverb

Remember? Telling Jimbo that the Soviets were hot to rape any and all oil reserves underneath Iran and Iraq..? It was bullshit, but it was enough to sculpt foreign policy.

How about: we don't buy into the bullshit Big Oil is pushing our way? Who stands to benefit from a herd of frightened sheep who think that oil production has peaked? Well, erm, that would be... Big Oil.

Why isn't the oil industry nationalized in this country if it's so fucking important..? Chew on that one for a while.

Construction ought to begin on a triple-door gallows right in front of the White House. If it was good enough for Hussein, it's good enough for Dubya, his puppetmaster Cheney and their creepy Grand Inquistor Gonzales. Hang them now. Try them later.

Hillary Clinton or the house nigger WILL NOT WIN IN 2008. Y ou must be out of your mind to even consider that for so much as one-tenth of a second. Hillary is universally despised and the Gary-Hart-like first-term Osama Barama or whatever his name is will never be considered as a serious candidate.

Hillary and Osama are the best friends the GOP could ever hope to have. Don't believe me now, wait and see how it shakes out.

Only God knows what Hill's actual agenda is. Both of them eagerly deep-throat Israel, like ALL US Presidential candidates -- falling all over themselves, trying to out-do one another pledging support for what is, in fact, A FOREIGN COUNTRY. Gotta get that campaign money somewhere, right? So why not appeal to the one-half of the two percent of Americans who control 98% of the wealth.

How about a candidate, ANY candidate, who would openly put the interests of THIS COUNTRY ahead of the interests of Israel? Now there's a fresh idea.

What more does Bush have to do to merit impeachment? Would some slut please blow him so his crimes could be considered impeachable? Apparently starting an aggressive war and lying 24/7 doesn't weigh heavily enough.

This is March. The Democrats have managed not to hear the voters last November.

They ALL ought to be hanged and left to rot on the gallows. Return power to the states. The Federal government was a fucked-up idea since it was an evil gleam in Hamilton's eye.

How about "while being waterboarded"..? If it's good enough for Gitmo detainees, it's good enough for Karl Rove. Live on worldwide television. With Cheney on the undercard. Who knows what we'd learn?

You remember the visitor log debacle that the GOP shot down an investigation of... why would a member of the Press Corps be frequenting the White House late at night or overnight..? Without properly signing in or out? Clearly a major breach of security in our nightmarish post-9/11/01 world. Was he Bush's boyfriend or Rove's or both..? How odd that the GOP didn't want the matter investigated... very odd... queer, even.

World media accurately reported the statue of Hussein being toppled for what it was -- a manufactured photo op. That square was EMPTY aside from US forces and news crews. It was anything but a popular "liberation" yet US MSM shoved it right down our throats, and here's that same fucking image on the top page of Salon.

IT WAS A MANUFACTURED EVENT. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THAT SHOW A WIDER FIELD OF VIEW -- THE SQUARE IS **EMPTY**.

SHAME on you. SHAME on you.

When Ford requested still more money for Viet Nam..? It was just about 31 years ago this week, if I recall. It's the SAME STUPID FUCKING MINDSET -- NO, we're not going to "win" no matter how you define it -- cut the losses and get the fuck out of Viet Nam^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HIraq.

I don't care what AIPAC is telling you to do -- just pack up and get out of Dodge before we have to translate "Dien Bien Phu" into Arabic...

They never learn. Ever.

Anything odd about A FOREIGN COUNTRY having each and every US Presidential candidate contorting to eagerly sucks its dick..?

NOT the 51st state. NOT any kind of "sister nation". A FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Why does A FOREIGN COUNTRY have so much sway over our politicians? How much more wrong would things have to be in order for you to speak up..?

Israel is a FOREIGN COUNTRY.

OK, commence with the "anti-Semite" bashing...

Women serving in active duty combat roles has always been and will always be a s-t-u-p-i-d i-d-e-a. Braindead stupid. Dumber than shit. Gee whiz, horny soldiers obeying their hard-wired coding to set seed and die? Gee whiz! Golly! Didn't see THAT coming!

I am perpetually impressed by the magnitude of stupidity present. Some people think that hydrogen is the most abundant thing on Earth, but I know it's stupidity.

Cheney?? While he's still alive? Gosh, I hope he doesn't croak from that blood clot -- not before he can be impeached, tried, convicted and removed from office, anyway.

>global warming first emerged as a public issue in 1988

Remember when the hole in the ozone was first reported in the MSM in 1975..?

>but would allow companies to freely buy and sell credits permitting them to emit certain amounts of it; this would produce a market for carbon-cutting measures.

Is this like buying indulgences? A sin is a sin -- trading in "credits" is absurd, half-assed horseshit.
