Five Ways to Win Back Iraq I have read a good bit of Pollack's work, and tend to agree with his moderate stance on middle-east issues. The general opinion is usually that those of us with an anti-war slant in Iraq want to see the US fail, not realizing that we mostly doubted this...

"You've committed a felony," Beaman says a security screener announced. "And you're considered a terrorist." Why bother protecting ourselves from terrorists when there is an uncontrolled organization like the TSA making false accusations and randomly removing constitutional rights from...

Stone blames 'moral fundamentalism' for US box office flop And I thought the movie flopped because it sucked. :lol: At least, that's why I skipped it. Did anyone not see it because of any other underlying reasons? Oliver Stone is a pompous ass. I guess he's lying to sell his horrible...

Schwarzenegger urges GOP left turn I'm not sure if the number is 5%, but I know a lot independents (myself included) who dislike the Democratic Party, but vote specifically against the extreme social conservatives in the Republican Party. It's hard to find a candidate who is moderate-right...

The shocking truth about the FCC: Censorship by the tyranny of the few It is unbelievable that one unelected official (Michael Powell) can have this much power over the US media.

Congress passes $800 billion debt limit hike This should read "Republican Majority Congress" and "Republican President George Bush".

Nuclear assets 'vanish' in Iraq UN Fears Bombmakers May Get Iraq Nuke Items-Diplomats

Beware, this is not for the weak stomach. Museum drops 'nude Bush' artwork "Kayti Didriksen's Man of Leisure, King George, shows a nude Mr Bush being attended to by a man resembling Vice-President Dick Cheney." I'm glad they took it down, that is a very disturbing painting.

This exchange was in the middle of another thread, and raised a question that I've had. Is a "liberal" like a "libertarian", wanting freedom for all? Or, is a "liberal" like a "socialist", who wants a big government to control health care and welfare programs so that everyone is taken care of...

I didn't see it, but it sounded like one more thing that would embarrass the US for their choice of leader. I've read a number of summaries, but here's an opinion peace that sums it up fairly well followed by a few quotes from it and other papers. Bush's pep talk fails to rally the UN...

Iran Rejects UN Call for Uranium Enrichment Freeze Iran has rightfully told the IAEA to "stuff it", because Iran's nuclear program does not not violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that it adheres to. The only negative that I see is Bush the Nutter may choose to attack at some...

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/09/18/iraq.main/ It is continuing to be obvious that the US can not maintain security in a country that they decided to attack and occupy. As the occupying force, security is the direct responsibility of the US (even though they try to pawn it off on a UN...

Cheney breaks rank on same-sex marriage I'm always very quick to bash anything and everything that comes from the Bush administration, but for the first time I am actually impressed with something they have done that doesn't involve Colin Powell. I've been wondering all year how Dick...

Remember all the chest thumping by "War on Terror" supporters when the reports came out a few months ago showing that worldwide terror incidents had decreased sharply in 2003? Well, it turns out that the Bushies cooked the books on this one also...

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/8728326.htm?1c Should there be a constitutional ammendment allowing US citizens for at least two decades to run for president? And, would you vote for Arnie? I'd vote for him without question. Like many first generation...

I have a game where my maintenance costs were 72 GPT. I attacked the Dutch, took one city, and my maintenance was 89 GPT, in the same turn. Three GPT were for the improvements left behind, but the rest is unaccounted for. The weirdest thing is, the new calculation is correct, and the old was...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31385-2002Dec23.html I'm no big fan of Microsoft, but this ruling is ridiculous. Sun has given away market share year after year through bad business decisions and poor execution of any good plans they do have, so now they have requested and...
