Let's see... Osama has most of his people converging on IRAQ to kill themselves in the name of mayhem, rather than trying it here... Certainly no additional safety involved there!
I personally find the idea of using our troops as bait to be paticularly disgusting.
After congressional leaders were embarrassed by their first attempt to rewrite a Reagan budget, the Democratic Congresses of the 1980s had little influence over the budget.
It is a common myth about the Reagan administration that the federal deficit was the fault of the Democratic controled Congress. As you said, in reality they had very little influence over it and for the most part each budget passed by the Congress was only 1% or 2% larger than what Reagan asked for. Reagan himself has sole responisbilty for the massive deficit of the 80's.
You are mistaken, I just bought a Dell Dimension 2400 two weeks ago for my mother inlaw. Inside the box was an OEM Windows XP CD, Works Suite CD, Modem Kit (cables and driver CD), a restore CD (contains all the non-modem drivers for the system) and a backup application CD (which contained Music Match and various other software). On other Dell systems I have seen shipped in the last year have also included MS Office, Roxio and PowerDVD software depending on configuration. I have never seen a Compaq/E-Machine style system restore disc for a Dell system.
The core of the conservative agenda is to transfer control of our government and our commons to big corporations; reduce taxes on the rich while squeezing the middle class; and strip labor of its power to organize while enhancing organized corporate power by supporting trade associations, Chambers of Commerce, political alliances, and monopolistic mergers.
Al Gore lost because he ran a poor campaign, he failed to consolidate his base and even lost his own home state. Had he done any one of those three things properly, he would be President right now. Nader had nothing to do with it, Al Gore did it all by himself.
You obviously have never been forced into a "First Amendment Zone" by the local police who say the Secret Service told them they HAD to enforce such zones.
According to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, etc. the 2nd amendment (right to keep and bear arms) existed to keep gov't in check so a revolution wouldn't be necesary, but would be possible.
If you are waiting for the NRA lead revolution, it is never going to happen. Over the last couple of years it has been very nicely demonstrated that the government can strip away or weaken portions of the constitution and as long as they leave the 2nd amendment alone, all those people who own guns and could rise up, simply won't.
My problem with Fox News isn't that they are heavily bias to the right, but rather they present misleading information. A recent study done by pipa shows heavy viewers of the Fox News Channel are nearly four times as likely to hold demonstrably untrue positions about the war in Iraq as those who rely on National Public Radio (NPR) or the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
Am I the only one just waiting for FOX news to start a radio station?
Why would anyone want this ? A recent study done by pipa shows heavy viewers of the Fox News Channel are nearly four times as likely to hold demonstrably untrue positions about the war in Iraq as those who rely on National Public Radio (NPR) or the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).
I agrre with you, this is their ultimate goal, however, as soon as my Tivo is rendered useless, I will cancel my cable service. If I can not watch TV on my terms, then I will not watch TV at all. There is no such things as "Must See TV".
Why not try pushing legislation to require (make available) the Pledge of Allegiance in the workplace at the start of every business day.
And while we are at it, we should pass legislation to require each God fearing, American loving citizen to sign Loyalty Oaths as a requirement of employment.
Maybe we should all start to think about jumping ship?

At least one Republican is advocating that Republicans should contribute to Dean's campaign to get him nominated, because Bush would eat his lunch in the general election.:)
Mohandas Gandhi said "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.". I believe this falls into the catagory of "laugh at you". What would REALLY be funny is if conservatives helped elect Dean.
under linux theres no way to actually capture audio when you do a video capture under linux.
I have one of these cards and I have no trouble capturing audio right along with the video. Make sure you have the cable plugged in between the line out on the ATI card and the line in on the sound card and use the mixer (aumix, kmixer, whatever you use) software to set the record device to line in. If you still can't get the audio, your card is broken.
I don't think so. Ownership by the *State* is the central tenet of Communism. Everything owned by the government. What you're talking about is corporate monopoly, not a form of government.
You are correct, when the government owns the corporations, it is communism. When the corporations own the government, it is facism.
It is interesting the US Army has choosen to liberate the oil wells before liberating any people. Okay neocons and dittoheads step up and let the flames begin.
Amendment IV

And I thought congress held the purse.
You mean the Republican controled congress ?

Someone mod the parent up, this is a great idea, one I intend to follow up on.

George Bush Sr Pardoned Casper Weinberger for his involvment in the Iran-Contra scandal prior to his trial or conviction.

When people start voting merely on the looks of a canidate like they would on their favorite pop star, you know a democracy is in trouble.
Uhm, would Arnold Schwarzenegger fill this bill ?

Microsoft is mostly following through with its settlement with the federal government.
So I guess that means Microsoft won't mind if I MOSTLY comply with thier EULA for Windows XP.

And don't forget, they are generally giving to both sides, so no matter who looses, they win.
