I can think of more than a few that such a rule would frustrate... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think The Economist is a wonderful magazine. The majority of the American news is written at the level of the average imbecile. The Economist is a bit biased, but much less so than any American news source - that includes Fox News. WSJ is my favorite paper.

I heard that loser Vinny is really a JACKASS and that he drinks too much tequila. I heard he's a short bastard too, with big ugly poppy eyes. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

And the other signatories to the treaty should...do what, exactly? I haven't read the treaty, but I'd imagine it worded so that the signatories would all support anti-genocidal efforts and not interfere with them, but not assigning the lead to any one nation. Like Rwanda, this is not something the US should take the lead on given our current military and budgetary disposition. This is something the African nations should take on and execute, with the US taking a supporting role. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Again - make the case for why the US should go there. Why is it in the national interest to do so? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

And what, exactly, can the US do? How long would we stay? With whom would we work? And how would stabilizing the region be in the interest of the US? Would the $ expended be worth the cost to the taxpayers? Stopping the Darfur tragedy is a noble goal, but a nation must operate within certain constraints, which include military strength, logistical feasibility, and cost - among others. I personally see this as an African problem that the African nations should solve. Ghaddaffi has shown that he wants a leadership role in Africa - perhaps the US should urge him to step up to the plate in Darfur. I still don't trust the SOB, but he is both there in Africa, wanting a leadership role on the continent, and has shown an eagerness to come back into the good graces of the West. Taking a leadership role in Darfur could be a good move for him. For the US - I think not. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I've never read General Dallaire's book, but don't think it would reveal how GWB could stop the Darfur fiasco. One might ask from whence the troops for Darfur stabilization would come. The argument for direct US intervention in the Darfur region is tenuous at best. Why do you think such intervention would be in the national interest? Stopping the atrocities in Darfur is a noble goal, but not one the U.S. should undertake. The commercials have a purpose in addition to raising the awareness about Darfur - and that purpose is to malign the President. The fact is GWB can no more stop the atrocities in Darfur than he can change the orbit of the moon. He could take steps to encourage other nations to do so, however, and I think he should do that.

Think that if you like. He might be with me on some issues - I'm not a frequent viewer and can't say for sure, but that doesn't mitigate the fact that I saw hiim spouting DNC talking points last week time and again, especially when it came to the issue of school choice. I'm quite amazed that what he was doing could be considered journalism by anyone. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

What I saw was not very conservative or balanced, though I've heard Dobbs did some superb work on reporting about the illegal immigration crisis. What I saw on War on the Middle Class was more or less a political advertisement for the DNC. Watch him and see what you think yourself.

Well...I did have some fun out on the west coast, but those pics made me homesick for Zhills. That week-long trip to San Diego was quite hectic. See y'all soon! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Whew! i just got back from a week-long trip to San Diego. Lots of work, limited internet (hotel and social engagements being the main reasons), and the like. I got back to the hotel room after work on the first day and when I turned on the TV, CNN popped up. Normally I'm a FOX and CNN Headline News guy, but since CNN was on, I said "what the hell?" and decided to watch it for a week to see how they were doing business. I watched a bit of CNN every day, and what I saw was utterly apalling. I always remembered CNN being slightly biased towards the left, prior to the emergence of FNC. Apparently that slight bias has evolved into an all out 35-40 degree tilt from what I saw during the past week. If Lou Dobbs isn't being funded by the DNC, then he really should be. He echoes DNC talking points and his war on the middle class series seems to have but one purpose - to malign the Bush administration and Repubicans in congress. Every facet of the news, the commentary, and the reporting had some sort of leftist bias in it. They're even running a commercial calling on GWB to stop the genocide in Darfur - as if he could snap his fingers and do so. It's a bit saddening that what's airing on CNN today passes for actual journalism and not political advertisement. I don't think I'll tune in again - other than for entertainment purposes. I like reading my news better anyway. CNN's website - in contrast - normally has some good stuff. A bit of Anvil commentary. Perhaps it's been going on for a while and I hadn't noticed, but what I saw really amazed me. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Dayum I wish I could have been there! Nice pics! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Clicky Yes, I know this is SC. Watch the thing & you'll see why I put it here. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I don't think there will be very much change at all should the Dem's reclaim the House. Nor do I think the Republican party will change very much if they do lose part of Congress. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm transferring. Some of the office crowd is taking me out for drinks. They knoweth not what they do... Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayyy.... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I haven't been to Thailand in a while, but have been there a few times. I LOVED Chiang Mai. I took a three or five day trek out of there that was absolutely fantastic. Just can't remember right now how many days it was...it will come to me eventually. Chiang Mai kicks ass. Been so long that I can't really comment on airline price.

I don't think so, and neither do you. There are parallels that may be drawn between any two wars and much may be learned from them. Nobody wanted to ponder such questions as I presented. Oh darn.

Gov't entities have to cut contracts IAW the FAR. PM me. Vinny

Au contraire in some regards, my dear Kallend. A few questions for you on this subject: What nation or entity is playing the role of COMINTERN with regards to Iraq? The North Vietnamese had a capitol. What is the capital of the insurgent government? Speaking of insurgent gov't, what is its structure? It's leaders? Compare and contrast the bipolar cold war environs with those of today, please. How are US budgetary constraints today similar to those of the Vietnam Era? What religious disparaties existed among the indigenous Vietnamese? A few questions with regards to a Vietnam compare and contrast you might wish to ponder.

I couldn't disagree more. My 'ahhh' was pointing out the flaw in councilman's post. Affirmative action based upon race is racial discrimination - period. No exceptions. No negotiations. It is racial discrimination. I doubt you'll find anyone would would agree that support of racial discrimination is a prerequisite for having a strong stance on civil rights. Quite the contrary, in fact. I don't think you'd find a single person who would NOT equate ending racial discrimination for employment, collegiate admission, etc. to a strong belief in civil rights for all. Contrast that with the way the Left portrays itself. Find any pontificating Left winger, confident that he or she is a bastion of goodness in a land awash with iniquity, telling everyone 'how it is' with regards to civil rights and extolling the virtues of affirmative action. There is no quicker transition from confident civil rights crusader to coward running with their tail between their legs than if such a person is asked to defend their support of racial discrimination. When called upon to do so, they lack the courage to face the fact that racial discrimination is exactly what they do support. Vice face facts, they run like cowards, cowering behind a plethora of rhetoric and insults such as 'redneck' or 'bigot' or 'Jim Crow! Jim Crow Jim Crow!' or something similar. The people whose support they garner are uneducated morons for the most part, who actually believe such lies. The left has done a fantastic job of supporting racial discrimination whilst casting themselves as the prominent political party supporting civil rights. You were speaking of misleading, I do believe. I think you need look no further than the Democratic Party and its support of racial discrimination under the guise of affirmative action to find a fine example of political fraud and misleading. Challenge any AA supporter to state "I support racial discrimination because..." and you'll find the vast majority to be intellectual cowards who lack the courage to face the truth about themselves.
