  5. Two words: Marc Rich Hypocracy abounds once again. Are you suggesting that two wrongs make a right? Some more words: Caspar Weinberger Robert McFarlane Dick Poindexter Ollie North Elliot Abrams Alan Fiers Clair George Duane Clarridge Bush (1) Clinton (425 plus or minus) Lets see, Clinton pardon several convicted terrorist, Bush has not pardoned Libby but only commutted his sentence but left the conviction in place and a $250,000 fine which in my humble oppinion is excessive. Bush 113 to date and he still has a yr. and a half to go. Interesting lil stat here. >http://www.usdoj.gov/pardon/actions_administration.htm I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  6. Scotland is part of the UK John, you know that country that's over there in Iraq alongside America, don't make the same mistake many ignorant Americans do and equate Britain or the UK with England. See attached image to help you get your bearings. I'm not much on rap but this video's is pretty good. For all you neocons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQfkc7DRsY Have a nice BIG BROTHER day.

  7. Hey I voted for him ....My very first vote for a President...and felt really betrayed by his actions with the burglary and coverups and tapes. I voted for Regan.. and he betrayed us all by negotiating with the terrorists.... allowing Ollie et al to run their trash in contravention of our laws. At least I dids not vote for this fucknegget that so many around here will defend to their dieing day as being a good president Damn. You are old.

  8. Hey. I'm slightly left of center and what Bill Clinton did pissed me off, degrading the Oval office and all. But I think What Nixon did (and I rode ten miles on my bicycle as a cub scout to shake his hand in 68) and what Bush is doing to the office andd this country is far more serious IMO. History will tell. We'll see. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  9. The answer to your immediate question is: Yes. A sitting President may pardon or commute the sentence of any individual. I'm not aware of any exception. To answer the context of your question: There was no unlawful action on the part of the people whom this aide worked with. There was no unlawful leak. The Vice-President didn't cover anything up. The President didn't cover anything up. In fact, the person who "leaked" the name, Richard Armitage, didn't cover anything up either (so much so that he was charged with nothing in violation of any law). Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to a prosecutor. His conviction stands, his fine stands, his prison term was commuted. I would like to know if he is still able to continue his appeal. I'm guessing yes. I guess lying to a prosecutor is worse than lying to a Grand Jury since Libby got jail time (commuted) and a fine, but that POS Bill Clinton, who brought more shame to the office than all others combined, only got his wrist slapped and we are all supposed to kiss his ass afterwards. Well, then there was Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon. Even Tricky Dick's actions were tame compared to Slick Willy. You have tobe kidding right? Burglary and more vs. lying about a BJ. Ever read any of these guys books? > John Dean (White House counsel) H.R. Haldeman (President's Chief of Staff) John Erlichman (Senior Aide to President) John Mitchell (Attorney General) G. Gordon Liddy Charles Colson I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  10. Or Gary Gilmore style. As fucked up as he was he took it like a man. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  11. Yes it is. And all presidents pardon many before they leave office. Usually friends or friends of friends. I'll say most prezs. Not sure of the track record. Money and influence go a long way.

  13. Yeah. But first certain people wanna do this> http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/lieberman-calls-for-wider-use-of-surveillance-cameras-2007-07-01.html I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  14. He said the "last time" he got pulled for that crap. If it's a repeat of criminal driving behavior, I'd like him jailed for the safety of the other 6 billion of us. Hey bro. I was goin w/ the flow. There were cars leaving me in the dust. He said I just sorta stood out and he couldn't catch em all. Fuck off Edit to add: This is So Cal and I drive many miles each day to and from work. 55-65 mph is crazy. As I type this they are talking on the news they need to up the speed limits. I'll bet a dollar to a hole in a cops donut you're one of those people that go 55 in the left lane saying fuck everybody(on your ass), I'm doing the speed limit I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  15. OK, if you think it's so cool that he let you off, I have to ask you, do you want everyone doing 95 in a 65 to be let off with a warning? Or are you just frickin special, sunshine? Would I think a cop should take you to jail for doing 95 in a 65? Probably not. Charging you with speeding, careless and reckless driving, and any other offense you committed should be sufficient to get the message across. The final arrest vs. citation decision would depend on what else you've done (right then and there, not prior history) and what your attitude is when the cop approaches you. The cop was one of the nicest I ever met. And the ticket cost me $1,006.00 when done and said.Edit to add: The warning was the NEXT cop wasn't gonna be so nice.

  16. The law of unintended consequences says that such an approach stands a decent chance of leading to fewer new jobs, more outsourceing/offshoring, and more overtime for current employees. Make it harder for employers to hire someone, and they'll figure out ways not to hire someone. Wendy W. _______________________________________ That's a good point. I see, what you're saying. Chuck From a friend> "My e-mailbox is flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants. To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc. Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc., I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me. It solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems. I have hired illegal immigrants to push my cars. They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas. Now here's the smart part...I pay them in pesos so they have to go home to spend it. I love it when a plan comes together." I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  17. I hope I never get pulled over by a cop like Mr. Kennedy. Last time I got pulled for doing 95 in a 65, cop was cool as hell. Could have inpounded my truck and taken me to jail. He let me slide and warned me. "I'm a nice cop. The next one you meet isn't going to be so nice." Would that be you Mr. Kennedy? Have a nice day officer.

  18. So was Bill Clinto when he got his BJ. And Bush and DICK C. are assholes. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  19. Details at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6255960.stm Always gratifying to read news of these plots being foiled, but disturbing that these two bombs seem to have been discovered by no other method than pure dumb luck. Another demonstration, if one were needed, of the importance of constant vigilance - top marks to the paramedics who noticed the first car. And to the lone cop that disarmed one by himself before anyone arrived.

  20. http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/bush-called-out-for-his-earmarks-2007-06-28.html ' Thou Shalt Not Lie Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age. The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?" One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog." Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie." There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

  21. You forgot (E) #4. Getting shot. Oh. I forgot. Pigs only do that when nobodys around videoing (they hope) and ALWAYS have a THROWAWAY handy. HAVE A NICE DAY OFFICER.

  22. I was wondering the same thing. Charging someone for breaking a law, before is was a law, is absurd. Some laws can be retroactive I believe. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  23. So they deserved to be choked? At least they didn't get tasered or shot. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  24. I was at Newark last thrusday when the weather that also hit JFK hit. It was really bad. They had complete ground stops. Severe windshear, lightning, hail. The flying public dont care. They just want to go! Never mind safety. Sounds to me like guys just wanted off the airplane.

  25. Well, maybe not Wendy W. So. Do you think if we have caught or did catch OBL the current admin. would keep it quiet to keep the GWOT going or produce him but say " It's a BIG victory BUT we have to keep the GWOT going?" Hell I guesas we have to now since we helped create so many more terrorists.
