This story was made up by Gore and other looney-left environmentalists like Joel Connelly. You get a bunch of activists to plant dead birds on the beach and then run around screaming "Al Gore is right the Earth is warming up" Jeeze.

about the kennedy thing: I don't think that's very sexy... *puke*
and i love how they have to say its a WHITE prostitute... because somehow there is/was a shortage of white hookers?? (well judging from my recent amsterdam/germany trip and my drives down aurora ave, there seems to be no shortage of white girls)

$3? Even in 1947 or whenever dollars, what a cheap-ass. What, they couldn't spring for the mid-level hooker?

Talk about a boring floor debate! The domestic partnership debate in the house yesterday was nowhere near as interesting as it was in the Senate just a few weeks ago when Senator Stevens alikened homosexuality to "beastiology." I watched with rapt attention but it feels like an almost empty victory. Probably because the Republicans didn't really fight back. I think the Republicans resigned to the fact that they were going to lose. Boo! It's no fun when people don't get verbally combative.

Cate, I believe it was the "dirty show" that cost $3, not the white hooker.

The "white" qualifies Harlem hookers, who are much more likely to be black, even now but especially then. This is 1934 we're talking about. God, I'd love to travel back in time and see Harlem in 1934 (not the whorehouses, thanks).

I want to know more about this preventative VD treatment of "cleaning out" the inside of the penis. Sounds more like a vindictive doctor wanting to associate a little unpleasantness with such licentious behavior.

It took me a minute to understand that the voter-fraud report was actually about people who vote illegally, which the report originally said wasn't a widespread problem, and not about illegally keeping people from voting, which is what the altered report seems to be an attempt to justify. By implying that voter fraud was so commonplace that voter ID laws and purging the rolls of "suspect" registrations and many other (primarily Republican) tactics for disenfranchising likely Democrat voters were a necessary step in the face of such rampant voter fraud, those tactics can then be recast as reasonable precautions against a pressing problem and not as sleazy attempts to keep minorities from voting. So in the GOP view, fraudulent elections are a big problem because so many people vote improperly, whereas in the Democratic view fraudulent elections are a big problem because so many people are kept from voting improperly.

Oh, please, I'm saving up my rubles and gathering my Homeland Security papers so I can visit the War Czar and ask him why he's in charge of such a fouled up mess.

Global Warming is real - it's deniers that are out to lunch.

Of course the Iranians are supplying weapons and training to Shia Iraqi insurgents. When the Soviet Union launched its own unjustifiable invasion in the region by marching into Afghanistan, the US was right there supplying weapons and training to the Muhajadeen. When American Stinger missiles started taking down their helicopters and killing their soldiers, the Russians didn't whine about it, much less threaten to attack the US in response. They understood that's how the big boys play and that's how the game is expected to go. If, say, Chavez invaded Mexico to install a regime of Venezuela�s choosing, would the US sit around passively, peering anxiously over the border but not tossing so much as a rifle across the Rio Grande? Of course not -- just ask Oliver North.

Given the history of the two countries -- both ancient and recent -- and the demographic reality of Iraq (most of the leaders of the Shia majority have spent time in exile or studying in Iran), some Iranian influence was unavoidable. And as long as there is Sunni on Shia violence, Iranian "meddling" in the form of arms and training is to be expected, too. This is the unavoidable consequence of wading into that part of the world, and those with an understanding of the region predicted it before the invasion. To have expected otherwise is naive; to be unprepared for it is incompetence.

Everyone has said or done the wrong thing more than once in life.

I feel Imus is not a racist, a sexist maybe - most men are. . . BUT he has apologized and to forgive is the right thing to do. Everyone gets forgiven and a chance to improve in this world.

There are larger injustices we see in the news and in life that get forgiven so this all needs to be put into perspective.
