Once again it is the Democrats who are out having the wild fun sex! Can you imagine Bush having sex with Larua?

I am sure that Ann Coulter would claim Harry S Truman was "a total fag" though.

I think that if every major politician was getting it regularly (as gross as it sounds), the country would be run far more efficiently.

this adminstration is so blatant. putting a professor on a terrorist no-fly list because he was critical of the president, and a clerk blandly says "that'll do it" like it was no big thing. like it wasn't a violation of everything this counrty is supposed to stand for.

Actually, technically speaking, the mission was accomplished. Saddam was overthrown. Then things got worse. But that doesn't negate the fact that the original objective was met.

3,282.

$415,600, 840,000.

The death rate is going up, so it's costing us less money to kill each American soldier, so that's good news, isn't it?

Do you eat with that mouth, Raindrop? The objective was never just "deposing Saddam, then splitting". It was "spread democracy and freedumb to the Middle East". That's how it was sold.

In terms of the professor, check out the post on Balkinization, http://balkin.blogspot.com/2007/04/another-enemy-of-people.html, the people commenting say some crazy ass shit. Total denial.

Oooh! This is a fun game!

Actually.... the stated objective was to find and dispose of Saddam's WMD. The freedom stuff was just the frosting on the yellowcake.

I think we're confusing Goal with Pretext a little here...

RE: increased attacks on the homeless.

Have advocates for new hate crime legislation to protect the homeless taken into account how many murders of the homeless have been committed by other homeless people? No doubt that it's sickening that unprovoked attacks from overprivileged dumbfucks are on the rise, but would it be so hard to get a rough estimate of the percentage of attacks that can be attributed to them?

Geez, Kubrick's movies are not supposed to be models for the future. Oy. Beating up the homeless--welcome to the Clockwork Orange.
