now that everybody knows The Code I wonder if it will get used more. Both for hooking up and as a tool for vigilantes. I can just see Chris Hansen now...tapping his foot in restroom stalls all across America with his hidden cameras in the TP dispensers.
This will, no doubt, be a very uncomfortable news conference. I hope he doesn't do anything crazy like that guy in Pennsylvania all those years ago who killed himself on live TV.
I think I just read in the officer's statement that he was read his rights.
It also states that he spent a couple of minutes peeking into the officer's stall before he went in and sat down next door and did his toe tapping and game of footsie inside the border of the officer's stall, and then made hand motions under the divider.
Now, I will agree that this seems like a waste of police resources. But when a hypocrite like Craig gets busted I have a hard time getting too worked up in a negative way about it.
with our military already stretched to the breaking point I can't see how we manage to have yet another war. Who is going to fight it? Surely Bush and Dick and Bill Kristol aren't going to suit up and start shooting themselves. There have to be people in the Pentagon who will say "no" to this. Or have the Evangelicals all taken over there to the point where they just want Armageddon and don't care about how many lives and how much stuff they spend on their quest?
I would also guess that the public is much more skeptical of Bush these days and we would likely see much greater opposition in the streets to this. Unless Bush manages to engineer another "terror" attack on the US mainland before launching his Iran war.
I don't know about demon rum. I will guess "abused by a priest as a teenager".
You also didn't mention conservative Florida state Rep. Bob Allen who was also just recently arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover cop in a Florida park restroom. Then just kept saying stupid things afterwards that made him sound even worse.
Didn't Jim Kolbe retire a couple of years ago? It's true that he was openly gay (after he was outed?) for a while, but he is no longer in office.
does anyone really watch TV shows on their teeny tiny little ipod screen? That seems insane to me. And to pay $5 per show seems even more insane. Give me my 50" plasma.
I'm a little bit confused as to why Rudd is invited to give speeches at state dinners and I think he also met with Bush, did he not? Is the leader of the opposition normally given this privilege? It would be nice if Australia became more enlightened than the US again soon, so let's hope this guy has a good shot at winning the next election down there.
well, if the Iraqis are really serious about throwing out our mercenaries (i.e Blackwater) then I would guess the US military will need to pick up the slack from those "contractors". Or perhaps they can just change their name and no one will know.
well, I'd prefer to see Zac's photos. They must be out there somewhere. And I'm sure they would cause a big uproar. Maybe America is over boob pix, but I don't think we're there yet on male nudity.
I love "of course they all watch The Factor". Yeah, Bill, I'm sure all the good folks of Harlem are sitting around the TV watching your show all the time! Is he the biggest egomaniac in broadcasting?
This isn't nearly as bad though as I thought it was going to be from the headline. Why, those negroes are just like you and me by golly!
who'd've thunk it is possible to be even less informed than Bush?
tell me again why this moron is the great hope of the GOP?
How can this bozo have any legal standing to sue on behalf of this collection of cells? Are they his embryos? This doesn't make any sense. I can't believe this wasn't dismissed.
Why didn't Sanchez speak up before when he was one of the people in charge of this mess? Didn't he have an obligation to the people serving under him to fight against the incompetents instead of going along with it all?
Take a look at the second video. This actually a pretty famous market. But I do not believe it is in Bangkok. It is along a train line that goes to Bangkok but it is not in the city. I just read about this place a week or two ago, I will try and find out the rest of the info. There are Thailand travel blogs that talk about this place and others along this particular train line.
when I read the quotes it seemed to me like Romney actually though that it was Democratic candidate Obama who said those things about the Iraq insurgents, not Osama bin Laden. And it was part of the usual political attack machine.
it does help to show what an empty headed doofus Romney is. I can't imagine he would ever really be elected president. He's too shifty.
your mistake is looking at facts and making logical conclusions. There's nothing logical or rational about stock markets.
Maybe if Countryside would stop sending out all their junk mail and calling me every day they wouldn't be losing so much money.
with so much imbalance in the world I think this is an issue that will only continue to accelerate all over the place. maybe we need to legalize gay marriage worldwide.
well, I was almost moved to tears, but not for the reasons she probably thinks.
It was good to see some editorials and stories today looking at the speech objectively and almost everyone pointed out how convoluted and contradictory it was.
