The episode was called "Drive", it was the 2nd episode of the 6th season, and Mulder was proclaimed to be the head of the "International Jewish Conspiracy" by the man, Mr. Crump.
Exactly. It may not be fair, but we've got well over 300 people actually registered with the FEC running for President, and well - that'd be one heck of a debate. Reminds me of GSN's "Who Wants to be California Governor?".
In the 19th century, the United States pursued a doctrine known as Manifest Destiny, which was originally a term coined by a New York journalist in 1845. It was a belief that it was the United States' "destiny" to "spread democracy" and that it was the only acceptable form of government in the West, and it was also used to expand the U.S. into the native controled lands of the current western United States.
So yeah, we've seen it all before. Its still not a reason to have 3rd world countries come in and monitor the biggest and most efficient representative republics in the world. That's just insulting to everybody who helped form this country and those who fought for it.
According to the 9/11 Commission's report, one of the 19 hijackers on September 11th got on his plane without ANY sort of photo identification. He wasn't even able to answer the security questions in English to anyone's satisfaction.
But the actors and actresses are the ones that ignorant people pay attention to and they (the actors) are the ones that are able to easily get their opinions out. I don't see the guys behind the camera ever being covered on the news because they hate a candidate - something I can't say about the actors and actresses.
I am truly confused by the end statement - since when are Republicans pro-hollywood? Most of the Hollywood elite HATE the Republican party with a passion...
I have a PowerBook G4 which is equipped with an Airport Extreme card. The Airport Extreme (802.11b/g) has a feature called "Interference Robustness" which prevents any problems I would normally encounter using my 2.4GHz phone. Does anybody have any insight into how this works and does anybody know if any other wireless adapters include it?
Louisiana is a different place than the rest of the country. First off, the state uses Napoleanic Code (which is derived from Roman Law) while the rest of the nation is using English Common Law. Every governmental position in the state is elected, NONE are appointed.
Secondly, the state has continously put political machines into office. Fmr. Gov. Edwin Edwards (3-term governor) is currently serving a prison sentence in Dallas because of a variety of charges, basically stemming from taking bribes from casinos. Then back in the day, we had Huey Long, followed by his brother Earl Long. Huey even had a box where he kept all the kickbacks from state businesses and employees.
Hell, to become a notary public in Louisiana, you've got to get approval from the Governor!
The state has some of the most corrupt, crooked, and just plain old screwed up politics in the nation. Every profession you can think of has to be licensed - and especially now, because the state is running low on cash (thank you Kathleen Blanco), taxes are extremely high.
Most businesses just stay out of Louisiana since the cost of doing business there, unless you know somebody, is extreme. Its good-ole-boy politics at its finest.
All Apple has to do is release a firmware update for the iPod that will easily idenitfy songs purchased from Real's store, and disable or delete them from the device. There has to be SOME difference between a legitimate FairPlay DRM'd file and a Real mimicked DRM'd file that the 'pod can be programmed to identify.
I'm tired of waiting for Service Pack 2 to be released. Why? Everyday SP2 is delayed, Virtual PC 7 for the Mac is delayed even longer. I have a G5, which I'd like to take full advantage of, and the current version of VPC doesn't run on the G5. However, MS refuses to release VPC7 (which supposively included support for native 3D acceleration, the only reason I want it) until a "secure" SP2 can be released.
Not to be a troll, but don't these people get it? Microsoft and Security is an oxymoron - the two do not go together.
What really lost the election for the conservatives in Spain was not the Madrid bombing itself, but the incumbents botched efforts at blaming the attack on ETA. Their lies were shown for what they were, and they lost the election. Maybe this should be a lesson to governments in other nations.
Cuban president Fidel Castro was more critical, however. Speaking during a television interview on 13 March 2004 in Havana, Castro accused Spain's government of deceiving its citizens over the Madrid train bombings for electoral gain. He went on to assert that Prime Minister José María Aznar had known an Islamic group was behind the explosions on 11 March, but preferred to blame ETA ahead of the general elections which were due just three days away.
Mistakes happen. The word from the governor of Basque County was ETA did it, and the government took it and ran with it.
Then again the missing 2% could be people that never did anything wrong, have no criminal records, been mooching off their parents their entire life, and never got a drivers license or other form of identification.
I believe that there are about 600 million people in the U.S. Therefore, 2% of the population is about 12 million people. A lot of Americans do not drive, do not get arrested, and really do nothing with their lives. I'm more than confident that you could find information on prominent individuals... hell, I have Bill G's fax number.;-)
Actually, a book on Moore's practices as a filmmaker and an analysis of the statements he has made over the years is coming out tomorrow, Tuesday, June 29th. Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man (not an Amazon.com associate link, btw) is a book that, despite the name, plans to do just that.
Fahrenheit 9/11 has nothing to with being a nerd, and news concerning it shouldn't matter. But instead, slashdot editors have taken it upon themselves to review the film and link to how "great" it is. Its a blatant promotion for a piece of propaganda, which even some on the LEFT are condemning.
My one question: Why the hell is this even on Slashdot?!
i wonder if the passing of this bill and the release of this movie coincide for a reason? See this movie! Also there are good documentaries that have been available for a long time about the 2000 election and the lies about the the WMD. Its just cut and dry coruption.. bush is just the poster boy idiot that is dumb enough to let this happen to his country.
It seems you're dumb enough to believe anything a "documentary" will tell you and not research it for yourself.. and do you seriously believe the passing of this bill has something to do with the release of this "documentary"?? The bill was UNIANMOUSLY PASSED by the Senate - that includes your Dear Leader, John Kerry.
And to those of ya'll that take Moore's word for the gospel truth - I suggest you check out the facts behind his claims in that Triumph of the Will-style "documentary" - a good place to start is the fahrenheit fact.
A smart person would know that I'm saying you shouldn't believe what people tell you about the law, and I'm pointing to the ACTUAL COURT RULING. That says nothing about the law, that's the ruling.
This is what I found on the AP report of the ruling (found @ any major news site of your choice...):
Justices were told that 20 states have similar laws to the Nevada statute upheld by the high court: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

Whoever modded this guy as flamebait should never be allowed to mod again, but that's just my opinion.

I was saying 3rd world to make a point. And actually, Yugoslavia, a former country in Europe, was defined by many as third world.
Such a loving and understanding liberal... "Peace, man!!! Make love, not war!!!" Fucking group of hypocrites.

This guy is obviously being moded down by whacked out liberals who don't want people to know that Michael Moore is the biggest deceiver of them all.
YES! Vandalism is still vandalism, no matter what it is your writing.

116 pieces, to be exact, worth approx 6 cents each. If I sell now, it can be a tax deduction! :-D
I'm freggin America's Ladies' Man and I'm interesting in chicks, dern it. My G5 is the ultimate geek machine and my PowerBook is a chick magnet.
Care of the wikipedia entry on the 3/11 attacks:
Mistakes happen. The word from the governor of Basque County was ETA did it, and the government took it and ran with it.

Dumbass.
Some people are just too damn paranoid and shouldn't be out in society (or driving, for that matter).
