Almost. :-)

There has been an increase in interest among SW collectors in bootleg and nonofficial action figures and what-not that were made in places like Turkey in the 70s and 80s, e.g. of characters from Turkish Star Wars. If you see one, snatch it up!

I am losing hope in them. The GOP filibustered an amendment to give the troops a stable time home after combat duty and the Dems haven't been on the media showing how the GOP does not fight for the interest of our troops? The GOP also blocked a minimum tour of duty amendment....WTF???? Why aren't the Dems showing the American public this blatent disregard for troop welfare?!?!?!

I don't get the Dem's. They have so much they can call bullshit on, yet they remain quiet and assume that the general public is going to hear about it. FUCKING morons. Thats why they haven't been able to muster a majority.

I'd think that story would resonate with the folks here.

I can't believee that that is being reported outside the US and not the major topic of conversation on the MSM. Given his popularity and the situation in Iraq, it's just not Constitutionally tenable that he shoud suggest anything of the sort. Obviously, the Democrats have to turn up the pace to panic in pulling all the plugs on the Iraq war. Voting to withhold funding for the Dick's office is spitting in the ocean. They had a mandate and 2008 isn't far off, it's time to start making the Republicans filibuster and putting Specter, Lugar and the other talk with no action Republican feet to the fire.
