Too bad everything that Al Franken wrote was true and not satire. Remember, O'Reilly was only suing because he objected to the title of the book, not its contents.
He felt his fans would be misled into believing he had a hand in the book. Says alot about the intelligence of his fans if he believes that was possible.
Also, as far as Moore is concerned, Moore has the guts to point things which others don't. Whether you agree with his opinions is a different matter.
So yes, Ann is like Moore and Franken. All have their opinions, however misguided one believes them to be. At least Moore and Franken don't call anyone who disagrees with them a traitor.
And of course the whole "You're either with us or you're against us" is another position espoused by the left.
Let us also not forget the blonde psychopath, the darling of the far-right neo-cons, Ann Coultor, who has repeatedly said that anyone who doesn't agree with the president (actually anyone that isn't a Republican) is a traitor.
Both sides have idiots who give shame to their respective issues.
Elephants, draft horses (Percherons and Clydesdales specifically) as well as other creatures are physically constructed to work 8+ hours of work a day.
Besides, let's be honest, just because you are at work 8 hours a day doesn't mean you are actually working (like me posting here for instance).
Maybe nothing too serious but I have had to dig around once or twice for an obscure.dll and other registry keys.
I even had to go into one place where I can't remember how I got into it and don't remember the name of what it was. All I know is that it was the last piece in the puzzle for getting rid of a pop-up box.
I'm not sure how bad this womans system was but reading both stories makes me wonder if Glenn has ever heard of regedit. Where I work I have had to remove several pieces of spyware/malware from users machines (though not part of my formal job description) and to date not one piece of cruft has been able to hide from me.
I use the very simple process of going to Add/Remove and finding out what junk has been installed. I then write their names down and use Add/Remove to start the process. I then delete any and all folders for this crap. Finally I go into the registry and delete any reference to these programs. Reboot the machine and check my work.
So far I have a 100% success rate. Now if only the morons here would stop installing this crap. That and if the powers-that-be would switch to Firebird or Mozilla. *sigh* This is what one gets for working for a government entity.
Within the decade the spinning hard disk may go the way of the floppy and CRT."
Are we done yet with the whole 'floppies are dead' stories? I regularly use floppies because it's easier to plop in a floppy, copy one file and pop out the floppy than it is to put in a USB drive, wait for your pc to recognize it (don't know about Macs), copy the file then have to correctly disconnect the USB drive
What about those machines which don't have USB drives or who aren't on a network? What then? Floppies will be around much longer than anyone thinks and for good reason.
In this context the word 'roots' means where it comes from or its source.
Another way to phrase the article title could have been 'Spam has its roots in US'. Replace the word root with 'origin' and the meaning becomes more clear (hopefully).
If you look at this definition you can see that the fifth entry uses the term 'primary source'. In this case the primary source of spam is the US.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Considering English is not your first language you write much better than a large percentage of people on this board who were born in the US.
No problem. I don't take it personally. Water off a ducks back and all that.
However, I must still disagree and say that it is a form of censorship. Since it is the government which is saying that they will not allow certain cds/tapes/whatever to be in the public library based on their content it is a form of censorship.
Regardless, Kansas has bigger problems than worrying about what cds it will accept in its libraries.

He said they were making sure that the state government was not giving out materials that people might find objectionable.
And that isn't censorship? Just because someone finds something objectionable does not mean it shouldn't be allowed to be seen/heard/viewed/read/whatever.
As I replied in a different posting a week or so ago, the first radio transmission strong enough to escape Earth was Hitlers broadcast at the 1936 Olympic Games held in Munich.
That gives us 68 years since another civilization could have detected our presence.
Since radio waves travel at the speed of light that means that broadcast is ~68 light years from us. Within that range there are numerous stars and one, Alpha Centauri, which may have a chance at having extraterrestrial life.
So far, no word if anyone other than us heard that broadcast. To be fair though, 68 years is not a long time in the grand scheme of things. Wake me in 500 years and then we can talk.
I'll use the typical Slashdot excuse for my misspelling:
You knew what I meant.
There, now I fit in like everyone else who can't figure out the word is "you're" rather than "your" or uses 'their' instead of 'there' (or vice versa).

Not according to Bill O'Reilly it isn't. To Bill the NYT is the worst piece of liberal trash out there.
Then again, this coming from a man who used to host a tabloid tv show.
Just because Taiwan recognizes itself as an independent country does not mean others do.
I could recognize myself as king of San Francisco, would that make it so?
According to this site a 1999 1.6l Beetle weighs 1203 Kg. So, 1203 Kg = 1.203e+06 grams.
If you take 1.203e+06/8.6 that gives you (if my math is correct and it probably isn't):
1/139883720 of a volkswagen

Is that anything like finding Nemo?
Shouldn't that just be:
