Enough. Penske has posted the woman's biography. If the biography that she and her staff wrote is positive, then her credentials cannot be disputed.

From the article calling her a crackpot, her bio is listed as follows:

Mylroie has an impressive array of credentials that certify her as an expert on the Middle East, national security, and, above all, Iraq. She has held faculty positions at Harvard and the U.S. Naval War College and worked at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, as well as serving as an advisor on Iraq to the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign.

It also notes her unified theory of terrorism was part of a published article put out by the AEI.

Forgetting ideology or whether or not the so-called "unified theory of terrorism" is bullet proof, what part of her objective credentials do you dispute? And again, forgetting ideology, are you disputing that the AEI is recognized as a respected think-tank?

The fact that there is a difference between consensual sex and rape, and a separate difference between consensual sex and consensual sex within a coercive work environment, does not magically make consensual sex within a coercive work environment the same as rape.

Saying otherwise is kind of like saying that because chocolate and peanut butter go so well together, and chocolate and mint do too, that peanut butter and mint must also be a delicious combination.

No, he's saying that peanut butter is mint. You read too much LIBERAL MEDIA to understand.

Agreed, but that wasn't my point. My point was that any prudent employer, given the current jurisprudence related to coercive work environments, would and SHOULD be concerned when a subordinate employee is having sex, consensual or otherwise, on work time, in the work place with a superior. Do you dispute that? Would you advise a client (other than one in the porn industry) that this is something that they should not be concerned with?

[size=1]* Anyone see The Daily Show last night, covering GWB's comments? I've decided that their picking on GWB for adding an "f" to Abu Grahib was patently unfair, and in solidarity with him, I'm gonna use that pronunciation for a while.

If you keep quoting the Daily Show as your primary source for current events, I will (1) either assume your kids have hacked your account or (2) relegate your postings to the trash-heap of posts from other bandwith wasters such as GGG and NFH.

Yes, yes, we know -- Reagan invented the Internet. Reagan balanced the budget. Reagan would personally have leapt tall buildings in a single bound and knocked down the planes on 9/11.


That whole recession in the first few years of Reagan's first term and the recession that followed his first term, those weren't his fault. There's a fifteen year delay rule. Except the boom in the 80s was because of Reagan, and the Bush recession was because of Hillary Clinton.

So you think that when someone sleeps with an employee, he should be prosecuted for rape and sent to prison for 20 years? Interesting view. I assume it applies only to Democrats, of course.

Dissent. You missed my point and ignored my questions to you.,

Do you dispute that? Would you advise a client (other than one in the porn industry) that this is something that they should not be concerned with? At your firm, if the whole of the partnership found out a 21 yo secretary was regularly blowing a senior associate or non-equity partner in the workplace during work hours, would this or would this not be a matter of concern?

I would have left out the Harvard faculty positions - doesn't help your case.

At a minimum I'd be concerned re. the lack of good judgement if said senior associate pulled out at the last minute to make it "less bad." For goodness sakes, if the act happens at least try and have the evidence destroyed, as it were.

I anxiously await Ty's use of this impressive bio/respected publication defense the next time someone bags on Josh Marshall.

Tell this to your employer and see if they feel the same way.

Poor, poor George Costanza. Damn that evil cleaning woman.

You'll be obsessing about Bhilly Bhoy longer than Seinfeld's in syndication. Personally, I thought Bubba was a bit of a love rat, which is why I voted for Nader the second time around. I wanted someone in office who would get straight to the wealth redistribution and governmental regulation without all the hanky-panky, and it's obvious that Nader hasn't had an erection since 1978.

Nice!
Now if you can make the difference between killing just your wife, and killing her plus your unborn child seem innocent, like an explanation say, with Cracker Jacks and the surprise inside, i think you could get some expert work down south- but hurry!

Agreed. Although jacking off into the sink, sts, would not be my route to that destruction. But it at least gives a lasting impression of how Presidential he was.
