The same guy who sponsored the McCain-Feingold immigration bill that was almost (maybe is) political suicide for a conservative?
Call him a hawk. Bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran, 100 years in Iraq, etc etc are all valid criticisms.
But his stance on borders and immigration is the most progressive his party has seen in years. And he's paying a political price for it - Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, many other wonks are saying "vote Hillary!" instead of McCain. . .
*shrug* I'm not a big fan of the guy but his stances on immigration and torture are two I can get behind.
Particularly since Bill would do wonders for the Hispanic vote AND was a governor, offsetting the whole "senator" thing. Not that that will really matter unless it's Romney as the Repub candidate which seems quite unlikely.
"I imagine the recent stories about Iraq being significantly calmer on the whole, with progress being made in formerly-troubled areas, and a marked uptick in indicators of progress really get under your skin. That's the really disturbing part: you'd probably prefer that Iraq completely collapse on itself, with no care or regard for the Iraqi people, just so you can feel comfortable in your smug and arrogant beliefs, in which you selectively pick anything that supports your view and discount anything that doesn't as lies, instead of realizing the world is a hell of a lot more complex."
Really, can we sound more shrill? About 50% of your post(s) are informative, and the other chunk is just doing what you accuse the other side of doing. Sad.
For the record, as an anti-war type of dude - I'm glad we're showing signs of stability in Iraq. I also feel like we need to finish the job that this colossal fuck-wit war criminal president got us into. Not because I want to be there, but because the destabilization we brought to the Middle East is, sadly, our fault. We need to fix the shit El Presidente's daddy complex got us into.
Both sides are full of fucking assholes. You don't help by being an apologetic for "your team" and building straw-men of what you think a liberal is in your pre-demonized brain.
I think I'm the only one who thought Book 6 was simply fantastic.
Good enough that I reread it 3 or 4 times, simply for the final chase scene with the Aes Sedai and Rand.
Generally speaking, Jordan was pretty hacky and stole all of his plot-lines, period.
Dune's Fremen were the Aiel, the first trilogy was Lord of the Rings sans Hobbits, and there's another half-dozen hack fantasy cliches spilled throughout the series.
I read through book 10 before putting it to rest, and never recommend it to anyone looking for a fantasy series.
T.J. was a deist, if that. Please stop the mythmaking about our founders being Christians, it just fuels the wackaloons who want to turn America into a theocracy.
The snakes/ladders one below sounds awesome as well. One variant we play is that you have a 1 tile "hand", and when you pick up a tile you do so secretly, then choose between your hand and the new tile as to which to place. Gives a little more reward for foresight.
I heard about it at least 10 months ago; Roper alluded to it in early interviews where there would be an MMO-type component but they hadn't figured out the precise model yet.
I think if you're considering Ronnie Coleman and professional bodybuilders who are walking pharmacies, I agree.
If you're talking about regulars at T-Nation, or other natural body builders, I'd say you're wrong. There are people who manipulate their intakes, know everything (EVERYTHING!) about their diets, and keep meticulous workout and diet logs. They tend to be pretty damn healthy. If a bit obsessive compulsive.;)
one beer a day lowers heart disease risk. I should get that discount. And then multiply it by 6 since I'm six times as healthy as those idiots who only drink one.

I'm packing my stabbing knife just in case I run into my buddy Jules.
Our current governor's probably headed there too! Yay Chicago politics!!
Flying into Chicago O'Hare (ORD) huh? That's what they all say. I've got news for you - a plane's never landed at that airport - it's too crowded.

Comedy isn't pretty.
1. To bring up as a subject for discussion or debate.
2. Of no practical importance; irrelevant.
Very obnoxious word that way.
That's Tek Jansen, travelling back in time to save the Boeing! He must have thousands of girlfriends.
It's the genitive case of diabolus.
I've been under the impression this whole time they spoke Spanish.

undoing overrated mod. meant to be +1 funny.
But I'm almost positive he wanted to be called T-Bone.

Your body's going through withdrawal symptoms and keeping you awake.
Your sleep should return to normalcy in a week or so.
or is that spelled unix?

That would be useful if it works, I only know how to pause. How do you skip them?
They didn't have the right to do that and that's why this is a case.

I'm not one of them but I play one on TV.
