Study English libel law before trying to make a point with it.

So are you saying that Lieutenant Weinberg (I'm not getting why you included the underline, unless you are saying "This is my new IM id, please please please IM me I love you!!!!!") would be perfectly capable of defending the US? That is not what the "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" guy was implying with his statements to the lieutenant.

Question for you Bilmore. Where exactly do you go when you disappear from the Board? Others have put forth all sorts of sordid theories, but I am withholding judgment until I hear it from the horse's mouth.

I can't tell the players without a scorecard. Are you the kinder, gentler Bilmore (the one who says "fuck liberal Minnesota"), or the mean and nasty Bilmore (the one who says, um, "fuck liberals in general").

Your assistance is appreciated. Hank provided me his meds schedule so I could keep track.

And thank God for the support we're getting from such countries as Albania (75 troops in Iraq), Macedonia (28), Moldova (12), and Norway (10). Although the Norwegian contingent starts a man down when they play soccer.

If you're a fan of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D. -- Cal.), or if you're not, you might be wondering what she's been up to lately. Here's a hint:

My thoughts exactly when I saw the front page story in the Post that said "Bush refuses to delay elections."

There isn't a whole lot of room to say Allawi and the governing council had much say in that.

Do you realize how stupid your average post sounds?

"Bush is acting like he is in charge of the country because he wants to ensure that elections happen so that the Iraq people can pick who runs the country."

F'ing imperialist.

I mean, this wasn't as stupid as "I can imagine the science," but its still stupid.

Here's what I imagine- Ty is really the old fluffy sock trying to mislead the lefties. Just cause Ty says something doesn't mean it makes sense- in fact to the contrary if I'm right.

Who said anything about imperialism? This only demostrates the obsurdity of those who got all bent out of shape over people actually admitting the truth - that Allawi is a puppet.

I don't get why people have to turn this into personal attacks. Why not address the merits of my posts instead of calling me stupid? Just because I support the President does not mean I lack feelings.

Allawi is the puppet of the Iraqui electorate, no more than that.

Yes. It is the Iraqi electorate who have veto power over Allawi. Just as they elected him. Oh... wait...

I really don't get why this is a controversial point. He is a puppet. Hopefully he is an interim puppet, but come on. We invade. We put in place a goverment we approve and can control. There is no shame in it. Every invader (or "liberater" if you prefer) does it.

The only shame is the ridiculous attempt to "defend" against the obvious.

Nothing to say - this just bears repeating.

I was in Redstateville's airport last nite. Where in the fuck do these people learn to dress? And where do they get their eating habits? I've never seen so much tortured polyester in my whole fucking life. Is it a requirement that most women in red states wear the "Jersey Claw"*? That shit hasn't existed even in NJ since INXS was last on the charts.

  • HillaryCare in Tennessee
    The disaster that might have been for the entire country.

    Monday, December 6, 2004 12:01 a.m. EST

    We think it was Justice Brandeis who said the states should be laboratories for reform. Regarding health care, Tennessee tried a decade ago and the price is now coming due. Hillary Rodham Clinton should call her pollster if she plans on carrying the state in 2008.

    In 1994, Tennessee passed what was then a very hot New Democrat idea--call it government managed care--a version of the reform the former first lady was also pitching nationwide. TennCare promised the impossible dream of politicians everywhere: Lower health-care costs while covering more of the "uninsured." They got the impossible, all right. After 10 years of mismanagement and lawsuits, TennCare now eats up one-third of the state's entire budget and is growing fast. Governor Phil Bredesen, a Democrat, is preparing to pull the plug and return the state to the less lunatic subsidies of Medicaid.
