You were the one who liked Queen right? you wished she'd gone with "Fat bottom Girls?" Too bad the buzzcocks weren't more popular because they had the perfect theme song for Bubba.

No-show Rudy
 

Rudy Giuliani knows what his priorities are:

• Rudolph Giuliani's membership on an elite Iraq study panel came to an abrupt end last spring after he failed to show up for a single official meeting of the group, causing the panel's top Republican to give him a stark choice: either attend the meetings or quit, several sources said.
  
  Giuliani left the Iraq Study Group last May after just two months, walking away from a chance to make up for his lack of foreign policy credentials on the top issue in the 2008 race, the Iraq war.
  
  He cited "previous time commitments" in a letter explaining his decision to quit, and a look at his schedule suggests why -- the sessions at times conflicted with Giuliani's lucrative speaking tour that garnered him $11.4 million in 14 months.

damn. ty won one.

Dear fucking god
 

Do you think it was the physician's use of prostitutes that really pisses off the compelled-pregnancy movement?

Dear fucking god
 

the scariest movie I have seen is something like "Army of God", a documentary on the people in this movement generally and Paul's "resistance action."

People talk about heroes- i really think 2 ignored catagories are 1) CEOs who keep manufacturing jobs in the states- when was the last time you saw these guys held up?
2) people working at abortion clinics. every morning and night they drive by people that want them dead.

The problem is she trusted the people. Democracy is overrated.

Failed States Rankings and Me
 

I'm not sure that their concept of stability has much to do with safety for travelers. E.g., I've heard that Iran is a very safe place for tourists, not withstanding recent political events. Whereas South Africa has all sorts of street crime. Yet they say South Africa is more stable. I know people who've visited Laos and Georgia, and I would be much more comfortable in the former than the latter, but that's not their order.

Failed States Rankings and Me
 

Agreed. I found Cuba felt very safe, and the violent crime statistics say that it is the safest country in all of Latin America. Similarly, I expect North Korea and Usbekistan are safe because they are run by megalomaniac despots, but their analysis is not safety or stability, but whether a state has "failed" whatever that means (and, no, I don't need you to cite me what they say it means).

Why the fuck would Johnny Sack be shilling for Hillary Clinton?

Lost My Vote
 

There is so much that is disturbing it seems a daunting task to catalogue it all prior to her defeat, but a few thoughts:

1. parallel parking?!?!

2. Does anyone else here notice the irony of a takeoff of the Soprano’s final episode to announce her new song.....a family with lots of corruption, murder, sex, organized crime, etc etc et al........

3. Celine Dion isn’t even an American, she is Canadien, and French-Canadien at that. Her first language isn’t even English!

At the end of the day I am left wondering why they couldn't get the license rights to Highway to Hell?

Lost My Vote
 

To appeal to her two largest constituencies - Hollywood and mobbed-up criminals?
