Actually, I fully agree with you about the issues that are the most important. I'm just saying the hearings don't illuminate anything. Alito's stance on presidential power is no more surprising than his stance on Roe. It would only be surprising if Alito was against expanding the power of the presid...

The hearings strike me as ludicrous. Not just these, but all of them since at least Bork. If the goal for the nominee is to get the job, the only way he or she can do so in a closely divided Senate is by pretending not to have opinions everyone knows good and well that they have. And what's the big ...

It also came out in 2004.

Portions of a telephone conversation between the President and Charles W. Colson. These portions were recorded on November 12, 1971 at an unknown time between 12:10 and 12:29 p.m. [This conversation is cross-referenced with conversation 297-26.] The National Archives and Records Administration prepa...

I never ate the worm at the bottom of a bottle of tequila. COme to think of it, I never drank tequila from a bottle with a worm in it.

Sorry.


Um, Kanye West doesn't care about white people? Or is that off somehow?

What gets me everytime, Noise, is the Oil argument. Without a question or a doubt, our involvement in the region is most definitely related to the "unfettered access" to a premium natural resource, oil. However, in other wars, where other, stronger nations invade weaker ones, history (I t...

We are killing them, and they are recruiting ever more people to take the place of the last bombers. When will the world learn that killing just leads to more killing? We will NEVER be able to kill enough of them to make their recruitment ineffective. There will ALWAYS be more than enough people wil...

Anyone but the Colts suits me fine.

Happy birthday, Mr. Monk. Late. I'll listen to the Juliet Letters in your honor.

"Countrier Than Thou" was just on the radio. Funny, funny song.

alexv, We'll just have to see. If Iraq is fully sovereign (meaning 0 US presence or intereference) by 2015, I owe you a beer. If we're still there in 10 years, you owe me a beer. If it's 20, I'd like a case of Young's Oatmeal Stout. And God forgive us. Mr. Average, Iran is dangerous. No argument. It...

We just plain disagree. I have no doubt that this administration has has designs on control of Iraq for over a decade. The fact that the invasion was planned out by Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz in 1998 (!) would seem to support that point. The fact that Jim Baker is on record as saying that the first Gulf...

As I pointed out in my prior post, my view is that our occupation was intended to be a temporary measure, and the goal of the US was and is to terminate it as soon as possible.

I just think that's as far from the truth as possible. I don't think we'll materially leave Iraq for decades.

alexv, I'll only take issue with one of your comments: "our so-called occupation" of Iraq. It's not a so-called occupation. It's an occupation. Bush called it that. He said, "They don't want to be occupied" early on in the occupation. Then that word became fodder for the Democrat...

So....when Golda Meir died, who actually added to the land, that was the wrath of....Khan?

No.

I never liked It's a Wonderful Life.

They're still Ding Dongs. Not to be confused with Ho Hos.

Maybe. Or he might be a thoughtless bigot. Tough call.

No, I liked Kid Creole & the Coconuts. "Endicott" and "My Male Curiosity" are great tunes. But this album was the one with which they jumped the shark. It was 1988, if that helps explain anything.

I learned today that no matter how far we move intot he 21st century, people persist in making stupid stereotypical statements about ethnic groups.
