  2. Looks like the "Palm Sunday Compromise" is yet another way Bush is removing the rights from the state's. I wonder if he can remove the rest of the power of the state in the next three years? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  3. Murdered by which IRA? The one my grandfather's brother served in to help free his country? Don't forget that the IRA has changed over the years and it's start was exactly the same as the American Revolutionary Army. While in my short time in Ireland I got a chance to see an IRA and ULF bombing, met people that were gimped by the IRA, etc. From what I could tell, most in the South are tired of it. All that said. I found it funny I sent the link to a friends Dad that grew up in Cork...I'll let ya know what he thinks as well. Lighten up. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  4. I don't see the point of the drilling at all. I've yet to hear a good, logical reason why we should do it. In ten years it might lower our dependence by 2%. Now imagine the alternatives we could have come up with over the last 20+ years instead of fending off the idiots that wanted to drill so their friends can make more money? The money and manhours spent on this topic would have been better spent and we could be on the way to a new infrastructure at this point. But hey, at least those caribou will have another way to find some heat in the wild. What would they have done without that? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  6. Before someone explained to me the surgery I was for it....once we owned cats and researched it, I found it to be cruel....and now have the scars on my hands/arms to prove it.

  8. Going to name drop here....but I've spent some time with the guy during the first Clinton run in office and he really knew his stuff back then.

  9. It's the Bush logic...if you don't know anything about it or hate how it is currently setup you will unknowingly think outside the box to get the job done. Bill Mahr thinks that GW is a brilliant idiot - he is so clueless that he just may be successful on a couple things in regards to the Mideast. btw, it had me up until the Kennedy part _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  15. It failed on me last night. It said download complete and it only gets about 45sec into the vid before it ends.

  16. I just had the same issue. I uninstalled it, removed it from the registry and 6.2 still would not install again. Installing the Beta version worked like a charm and it's nice and stable from what I have seen. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  18. It's a hydralic system. There is a steam power coaster like this one in the works, then you also have LIMs like Superman: The Escape ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain in So Cal (400ft tall), or V2 at a few Six Flags now. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  19. Jar Jar is in the movie, according to GL. Around the same amount from the last movie. Apparently the idea he had was to show how someone so innocent could be used to turn the fate of the entire universe around (since he started the vote). Guess he wanted the opposite effect of the ewoks as he is trying to balance off all the good in those movies with evil in these. So imagine the final battle in Ep 6 except with the bad guys winning this time.....that is the feel he wants for Ep 3. Yea, I roll my eyes at the Ewok explanation each time he starts on it as well.....which is why I am not holding my breath for this one. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  20. http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/03/16/arctic.drilling.ap/index.html This was my favorite quote in the article.....care to explain the logic of this one?? Conserve and produce at the same time? Can you make war and prepare for peace at the same time? Maybe you should file divorce papers at the same time you are getting married? "Some people say we ought to conserve more. They say we ought to conserve instead of producing this oil," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R-New Mexico, "But we need to do everything. We have to conserve and produce where we can." It just goes to show that the majority of republicans are a bunch of idiots with no forethought to the long term effect of their actions. Money is the motivation. Oil helps make the decisions for this Administration and it's tag-alongs. Will it surprise anyone when we find out that company's connected/friends with the Bush family will benefit from this? WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amid the backdrop of soaring oil and gasoline prices, a sharply divided Senate on Wednesday voted to open the ecologically rich Alaska wildlife refuge to oil drilling, delivering a major energy policy win for President Bush. The Senate, by a 51-49 vote, rejected an attempt by Democrats and GOP moderates to remove a refuge drilling provision from next year's budget, preventing opponents from using a filibuster -- a tactic that has blocked repeated past attempts to open the Alaska refuge to oil companies. The action, assuming Congress agrees on a budget, clears the way for approving drilling in the refuge later this year, drilling supporters said. The oil industry has sought for more than two decades to get access to what is believed to be billions of barrels of oil beneath the 1.5 million-acre coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the northern eastern corner of Alaska. (Map) Environmentalists have fought such development and argued that despite improve environmental controls a web of pipelines and drilling platforms would harm calving caribou, polar bears and millions of migratory birds that use the coastal plain. Bush has called tapping the reserve's oil a critical part of the nation's energy security and a way to reduce America's reliance on imported oil, which account for more than half of the 20 million barrels of crude use daily. The Alaska refuge could supply as much as 1 million barrels day at peak production, drilling supporters said. "We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact," argued Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, a co-sponsor of the amendment that would have stripped the arctic refuge provision from the budget document. It is "foolish to say oil development and a wildlife refuge can coexist," she said. Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, argued that more oil would be saved if Congress enacted an energy policy focusing on conservation, more efficient cars and trucks and increased reliance on renewable fuels and expanded oil development in the deep-water Gulf where there are significant reserves. "The fact is (drilling in ANWR) is going to be destructive," said Kerry. But drilling proponents argued that modern drilling technology can safeguard the refuge and still tap the likely -- though not yet certain -- 10.4 billion barrels of crude in the refuge. "Some people say we ought to conserve more. They say we ought to conserve instead of producing this oil," said Sen. Pete Domenici, R-New Mexico, "But we need to do everything. We have to conserve and produce where we can." The vote Wednesday contrasted with the last time the Senate took up the ANWR drilling issue two years ago. Then, an attempt to include it in the budget was defeated. But drilling supporters gained strength last November when Republicans picked up three additional seats, all senators who favored drilling in the refuge. Opponents of drilling complained that Republicans this time were trying "an end run" by attaching the refuge provisions to the budget, a tactic that would allow the measure to pass with a majority vote. "It's the only way around a filibuster" which requires 60 votes to overcome, countered Stevens. The 19-million-acre refuge was set aside for protection by President Eisenhower in 1960, but Congress in 1980 said its 1.5 million acre coastal plain could be opened to oil development if Congress specifically authorizes it. Bush, who has urged Congress repeatedly to allow oil companies to tap the refuge's crude, said Wednesday it's "a way to get some additional reserves here at home on the books." _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  21. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/bizarre/031005_APsn_catshoot.html Man shot by his cat while he was cooking dinner By The Associated Press (3/10/05 - BATES TOWNSHIP, MI) — A man cooking in his kitchen was shot after one of his cats knocked his 9mm handgun onto the floor, discharging the weapon, Michigan State Police said. Joseph Stanton, 29, of Bates Township in Iron County, was shot in his lower torso around 6 p.m. Tuesday, the state police post in Iron River reported. He was transported to Iron County Community Hospital. Michelle Sand, a spokeswoman at the Iron River hospital, said Stanton was treated there before being transferred to Marquette General Hospital for further treatment. But Marcie Miller, a representative of the Marquette facility, said there was no record of the hospital receiving a patient by that name. A telephone message seeking comment was left Wednesday at Stanton's home. State police said he was cooking at his stove when the cat knocked the loaded gun off the kitchen counter behind him. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  22. Looks like he saved all the story for this one. Should be good. exactly what i was thinking. I just watched the trailer for the 2nd time. This better not suck.

  25. Celebrated in the bars last weekend....may do that again this weekend....missed the downtown parade because of that (giving the other parade on the South Side a rest since I have marched in it or partied along it for many years). Tomorrow is mostly work, maybe something among my group of friends...something quiet. There is this great Pub that is out of the way that not many people know about....has some of the best Guinness and Smithwicks around and some great music. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
