Hmm. Hate to say this, but hopefully they don't find bin Laden before the election. That could be unfortunate timing.

I can't think of anything nastier than Tomato Jam. Maybe Vegemite? No. Not even that.

Ah, so McCain believes Palin is a prophet of God. THAT's not dangerous at all.

I hate Sarah Palin as much as the next person, but can we agree that cuckolding your boss's family friend is a bad idea? Especially when your boss is an evangelical whack job?

strangely enough, Al Qaeda ALSO thinks Yahweh/God/Allah wants them to defeat America in Afganistan & Iraq. perhaps God should appear & settle the dispute.

God? I'm waiting...

Oh, Mr. Poe. Vegemite is lovely stuff. Marmite too. I'm having a little smear now.

Paraphrase quibbles:

God wants the US to win the war in Iraq

is not the same as
the Iraq War Is a Task 'From God.'

which itself misrepresents as a factual claim what was actually a wish:
Pray ... that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God

Can we please stick to legitimate lines of attack?  Really, there's no shortage of material to choose from.

Children, play nice now. You know not to bother Abba when he's reading the paper.

Here's the news I really want to know, does anybody else think somebody was manipulating the stock market the last few days? On Monday it was way up because of the Fannie/Freddie takeover. On Tuesday it plunged because of Lehman news. I know manipulation goes on all the time, but the timing of the Lehman news seemed deliberate to me. Of course I could be descending into crazy whacko conspiracy theory nutjob here...

How/where/why would someone use tomato jam??

No, I was wondering about the whole stock market thing myself. A friend was thinking of selling some microsoft shares, but stock had gone down down significantly- with no reason. I tried to goggle a reason to no avail. Yes, I love the irony:)

@12,

I bet it's just fancy ketchup.

Not that anyone is still reading here, but I feel the need to go further with my stock market manipulation assertions and point out the robots vs. UAL story:
