it was a question not an acknowledgement. I don't agree nor believe any of them. Quit making assumptions and flying off the handle...that goes for almost the majority of people on Speaker's Corner these days...jesus christ, read and think before hitting reply. OK, apologies. How about this: If Pat Robertson is right, I am proud to be wrong. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

So ready that I'm buying the beer as soon as I get the hell out of here! Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

What if he is right? If that's what your God does to millions of innocent people, I'll gladly burn in hell for eternity. Other than that, I can't possibly respond to such a statement. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

You are joking, right? Pat Robertson said that God was punishing New Orleans by sending hurricane Katrina. He said 9/11 was God no longer protecting us. He advocated the assassination of Hugo Chavez and said that Ariel Sharon's stroke was due to the Israeli pullout from Gaza. He is SCUM. As for Falwell, when I was young my neighbors watched him all the time. I came home terrified and crying because I thought the world was going to end. Needless to say, no more visits to the neighbor kid's house. Oh, and as far as I can tell, the world has not ended yet. These two do NOTHING to make the world a better place.

All right.... I'm sick of all the whiner's pining away for Chris "Goat Boy Vibrato" Daughtry! He lost, now get the hell over it! The only American Idols who's music I would ever buy is Taylor, so I think this was a good season. Just so the producers don't totally hose his style.

There was a time when I had no money, terrible credit, and the whole bit. Luckily, I found a landlord who liked the way I presented myself, and rented a nice place to me. Even though I was always broke, the very first bill I paid was my rent - it just seemed logical to me. As a way of thanking him for taking a chance on me, I actually left the place in better condition than I found it - painting, and other small fixes. If I see him in the old neighborhood, I always pull over and chat with him. So, credit checks are not always the answeer. He would give me a sterling reference, regardless of what those reports said. Luckily, I am now a homeowner, and no longer have those problems...... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Fuck no man.. they will be back out in the woods in their little private militias again... just like the good ole days in the 1990's. practicing the art of overthrowing the evil overbearing godless government. And the REALLY beautiful part? We will crush those crazy fuckers mercilessly. It will be easy as pie - they are, after all, terrorists. BWahahahaha!

I tried this, but I only talked to the ladies when I was loaded, and when they showed up at the DZ they were all over weight..... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

OIC..... Yeah, I think that was the world's longest snivel. Remember, if that happens to you, try to snag your canopy on a street light. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Agreed. What the hell was that mal supposed to be anyway? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Just wait until a Democrat wields the power that this president has established in the executive branch. You will hear shrieks of horror on a daily basis, and we can just tell them to suck it up, and thank president chimpy.

Please, oh God in heaven, Please tell me you are bullshitting me??!!!! -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

The mere thought of tongue splitting makes me cringe like someone is running their fingernails down a chalkboard. I can feel a knife slashing my tongue in my mind. No thanks!! Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I set up a free cgi proxy which should work for you: http://www.radicaloverthrow.com or http://www.lytewave.com/radical/ Let me know if it works... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Which could mean that it is a very entertaining film. Although I typically love the Cannes award winners, and smaller films in general, they usually despise the formulaic blockbusters. I'll wait and see what the US critics have to say. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

No, but my wife can. I just move a tiny bit, and she does the rest to make me look good. She still won't show me her VHS tapes from a couple times she was on "Dancin' on Air" in the 80's though.... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I'm much less obnoxious in real life, until you get to know me. Then I am much more obnoxious in real life. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

The original pledge: His original Pledge read as follows: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' He considered placing the word, 'equality,' in his Pledge, but knew that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans. [ * 'to' added in October, 1892. ] The "under God" was not added until 1954. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

See?? You are lying right now!!! 'Nuff said. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I agree. But then again, some of the most popular/favorite songs are lyrics repeated over and over and over na over and.... And I think "I get by with a little help form my friends" would have been a slightly better choice. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I thought that the Joe Cocker song was perfect for Taylor, and I prefer seeing him do those kinds of songs. He stands still, and you can see him focus on the music. The Bruce song was good, but I wish he would have done "Thunder Road". That song would fit his voice perfectly, and it's truly a classic. Kat was excellent on "Somewhere over...." but that song has been done to death. Her other 2 songs were fair. Elliot was just OK, but not as good as last week. He came a long way over the course of the competition, but he might be going home tonight. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Checks and balances prevent their supreme leader from achieving dictatorial rule. Of course they are opposed! Zipp0 Yes they are when there isn't anything illegal happening. Title 18, Chapter 121, Section 2709 of the U.S. Code. It specifically allows the government to obtain telephone records for purposes of investigating terrorist threats. Here is Sec. 2709 in its entirety; I have highlighted some of the pertinent language: § 2709. Counterintelligence access to telephone toll and transactional records (a) Duty to provide.--A wire or electronic communication service provider shall comply with a request for subscriber information and toll billing records information, or electronic communication transactional records in its custody or possession made by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation under subsection (b) of this section. (b) Required certification.--The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or his designee in a position not lower than Deputy Assistant Director at Bureau headquarters or a Special Agent in Charge in a Bureau field office designated by the Director, may-- (1) request the name, address, length of service, and local and long distance toll billing records of a person or entity if the Director (or his designee) certifies in writing to the wire or electronic communication service provider to which the request is made that the name, address, length of service, and toll billing records sought are relevant to an authorized investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such an investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely on the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and (2) request the name, address, and length of service of a person or entity if the Director (or his designee) certifies in writing to the wire or electronic communication service provider to which the request is made that the information sought is relevant to an authorized investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such an investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States. (c) Prohibition of certain disclosure.--No wire or electronic communication service provider, or officer, employee, or agent thereof, shall disclose to any person that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has sought or obtained access to information or records under this section. (d) Dissemination by bureau.--The Federal Bureau of Investigation may disseminate information and records obtained under this section only as provided in guidelines approved by the Attorney General for foreign intelligence collection and foreign counterintelligence investigations conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and, with respect to dissemination to an agency of the United States, only if such information is clearly relevant to the authorized responsibilities of such agency. (e) Requirement that certain congressional bodies be informed.--On a semiannual basis the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall fully inform the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, concerning all requests made under subsection (b) of this section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The last paragraph is part of the checks and balances in place, which if you read the thread I posted about Bush complying, it seems there is no real story here exceept why USA Today and CNN and others are releasing classified information. I predict it will not be long until reporters and newspapers find themselves in a courtroom defending themselves against just this kind of illegal disclosures. BLAH BLAH BLAH.... I didn't read any of that, because it means NOTHING. Checks and balances are the basis for our democracy, like it or not. Now, at least, we are getting some oversight, as it should be.

Wow, that's pretty damn cool! I actually just thought it was a coincidence that they looked very similar. Tell him "Thank You" from me for his absolutely fantastic work. I worked briefly with a guy at a local PBS station that went on to work on Seinfeld - Darin Henry. He, I believe, was the inspiration for Kramer's intern.
