Not all the people killed are terrorists - some are innocent civilians who happen to be in the wrong place. Do you have any feelings about the ethics of sacrificing them? And Americans. We have now lost over 1/3 of the total amount lost in the WTC. I guess it makes more sense to lost an American or two a day over a few years then just a bunch all at once. Good strategy. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Was not a day care center. Next time you may want to get the facts before posting. Oh yes, the voice of reason speaks. And what about all those times I asked for proof. Anyway....re read my post - I said I couldn't find the story when I posted it. After that a couple people corrected the facts, but you would have known that if you read the entire thread. Then you would have noticed the comedy in the rest of the thread. But thanks anyway... _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

This is much better than having dead people vote in Chicago! ____________________________ Machine Error Gives Bush Extra Ohio Votes COLUMBUS, Ohio - An error with an electronic voting system gave President Bush 3,893 extra votes in suburban Columbus, elections officials said. Franklin County's unofficial results had Bush receiving 4,258 votes to Democrat John Kerry 260 votes in a precinct in Gahanna. Records show only 638 voters cast ballots in that precinct. Bush actually received 365 votes in the precinct, Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told The Columbus Dispatch. State and county election officials did not immediately respond to requests by The Associated Press for more details about the voting system and its vendor, and whether the error, if repeated elsewhere in Ohio, could have affected the outcome. Bush won the state by more than 136,000 votes, according to unofficial results, and Kerry conceded the election on Wednesday after acknowledging that 155,000 provisional ballots yet to be counted in Ohio would not change the result. The Secretary of State's Office said Friday it could not revise Bush's total until the county reported the error. The Ohio glitch is among a handful of computer troubles that have emerged since Tuesday's elections. In one North Carolina county, more than 4,500 votes were lost because officials mistakenly believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did. And in San Francisco, a malfunction with custom voting software could delay efforts to declare the winners of four races for county supervisor. In the Ohio precinct in question, the votes are recorded onto a cartridge. On one of the three machines at that precinct, a malfunction occurred in the recording process, Damschroder said. He could not explain how the malfunction occurred. Damschroder said people who had seen poll results on the election board's Web site called to point out the discrepancy. The error would have been discovered when the official count for the election is performed later this month, he said. The reader also recorded zero votes in a county commissioner race on the machine. Workers checked the cartridge against memory banks in the voting machine and each showed that 115 people voted for Bush on that machine. With the other machines, the total for Bush in the precinct added up to 365 votes. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a glitch occurred with software designed for the city's new "ranked-choice voting," in which voters list their top three choices for municipal offices. If no candidate gets a majority of first-place votes outright, voters' second and third-place preferences are then distributed among candidates who weren't eliminated in the first round. When the San Francisco Department of Elections tried a test run on Wednesday of the program that does the redistribution, some of the votes didn't get counted and skewed the results, director John Arntz said. "All the information is there," Arntz said. "It's just not arriving the way it was supposed to." A technician from the Omaha, Neb. company that designed the software, Election Systems & Software Inc., was working to diagnose and fix the problem. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Just found out that IBM is looking for experienced people in these areas: Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP, and Siebel.

Nice timing on this admission. I wonder how long he has been willing to conceed on this point but the GW camp wouldn't let him. Therefore all of those bashings he took at the hands of the press was just so he could take one for the team; thus Kerry would have one less talking point on the election trail. Looks like Ashcroft and Rummy will be the scape goats for the war. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

If he does he'll have to keep in mind all the things that have happened in the Star Wars Universe since Return of the Jedi. Various media such as comics, computer games and paperbacks have progressed the storyline since. As for Episode 6, if it's done as well as the Clone Wars cartoon from Genndy Tartakovsky (the creator of Samurai Jack) then it will be well worth the wait IMHO. There is talk he may tell some additional stories on a TV Series. Very much a rumor right now, but there have been a few hints. Would it be what happens between 3 and 4, or 7-9? No one knows. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Specter warns Bush on high court nominations By LARA JAKES JORDAN Associated Press PHILADELPHIA -- The Republican expected to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee next year bluntly warned newly re-elected President Bush today against putting forth Supreme Court nominees who would seek to overturn abortion rights or are otherwise too conservative to win confirmation. Sen. Arlen Specter, fresh from winning a fifth term in Pennsylvania, also said the current Supreme Court now lacks legal "giants" on the bench. "When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe v. Wade, I think that is unlikely," Specter said, referring to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. "The president is well aware of what happened, when a bunch of his nominees were sent up, with the filibuster," Specter added, referring to Senate Democrats' success over the past four years in blocking the confirmation of many of Bush's conservative judicial picks. "... And I would expect the president to be mindful of the considerations which I am mentioning." With at least three Supreme Court justices rumored to be eyeing retirement, including ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Specter, 74, would have broad authority to reshape the nation's highest court. He would have wide latitude to schedule hearings, call for votes and make the process as easy or as hard as he wants. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., expressed confidence Wednesday that Bush will have more success his second term in winning the confirmation of his judicial nominees. "I'm very confident that now we've gone from 51 seats to 55 seats, we will be able to overturn this what has become customary filibuster of judicial nominees," Frist said in Orlando, Fla. Legal scholar Dennis Hutchinson said Specter's message to the White House appears to be "a way of asserting his authority" as he prepares to chair the Judiciary Committee when Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is term-limited from keeping the post next year. "What he may be trying to do is say, 'Don't just think that I'm going to process what you send through. I have standards, I'm going to take an independent look, you have to deal with me,'" said Hutchinson, a law professor at the University of Chicago. When asked Wednesday about Specter's impending chairmanship, another Republican on the panel, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, did not offer a ringing endorsement. "We'll have to see where he stands," said Cornyn, a close friend of Bush who worked to get all of the president's nominees through the Senate. "I'm hoping that he will stand behind the president's nominees. I'm intending to sit down and discuss with him how things are going to work. We want to know what he's going do and how things are going to work." While Specter is a loyal Republican -- Bush endorsed him in a tight Pennsylvania GOP primary -- he routinely crosses party lines to pass legislation and counts a Democrat, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, as one of his closest friends. A self-proclaimed moderate, he helped kill President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court and of Jeff Sessions to a federal judgeship. Specter called both nominees too extreme on civil rights issues. Sessions later became a Republican senator from Alabama and now sits on the Judiciary Committee with Specter. Despite a bruising challenge from conservatives this year in Pennsylvania's GOP primary, Specter won re-election Tuesday by an 11-point margin by appealing to moderate Republicans and ticket-splitting Democrats, even as Pennsylvania chose Democrat John Kerry over Bush. A former district attorney, Specter also bemoaned what he called the lack of any current justices comparable to legal heavyweights like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo and Thurgood Marshall, "who were giants of the Supreme Court." "With all due respect to the (current) U.S. Supreme Court, we don't have one," he said. Though he refused to describe the political leanings of the high court, Specter said he "would characterize myself as moderate; I'm in the political swim. I would look for justices who would interpret the Constitution, as Cardozo has said, reflecting the values of the people." _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Golly, that's about as mature it gets. - Jim I guess I'm not allowed to express my distrust and dissappointment in the track record of GW? And to think that it will be a sign of things to come? I will remain suspect of him until he proves other wise. Since he isn't willing to admit he can make a mistake, then I am of the mindset that we are in for a world of hurt over the next four years. But then again - I'd love to have him prove me wrong. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Once again. Half of this country believes that Bush shouldn't be President, or support his beliefs. To say we must blindly follow any leader is dangerous - that is what allowed Hitler to rise to power. No thanks, I'll spend the next four years getting to know my representative quite well, and will be sending out many letters. The last time I decided to get very proactive I ended up on the front page of all the Chicago newspapers. I'm feeling very proactive. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

3.5 out of 115 million? That is decisive? Regan's victory was decisive. There are not many more people in this country? Huh? As compared to last week, yes....but from 1968 or 1944? Yup, a lot more.

According to the translation the movie used (which seems to be on the dramatic side) It said the man in the blue turban would return from the dead to attack the new city.

Well, when you have the 2nd biggest election in our history, and the continued growth of our country its only logical that the winner would have more votes than any other president in history. So far - final vote total in 11 days For Bush: 59,025,418 (51.39%) Against Bush: 55,837,962 (48.61%) Total Votes: 114,863,380 Therefore 3,187,456 on the popular vote seperated Kerry from Bush. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
