I think someone else used a primary source to refute one of my statements. Sorry - I forgot who it was or what it was about.

However, it was nice to see someone quoting a primary souce instead of some fellow ideologues "expert" opinion as "persuasive" evidence (Hello Ty and others).

The primary sources forced a substantive argument which was a nice change.

Just wanted to point that out.

Principi said the commission recognizes that closing bases is necessary to save money and transform the military to meet new challenges.

"At the same time, we know that the decisions we reach will have a profound impact on the communities hosting our military installations, and more importantly, on the people who bring those communities to life," he said.

I tend to agree more with this guy

"It's not about just trying to get rid of excess capacity. It's actually about trying to reorganize the forces for future challenges," said Loren Thompson, a military analyst with the Lexington Institute, a think tank in Arlington, Virginia.

I did not look up the Lexington Institute and have no idea which way it swings.

The Arizona Star:

McCain didn't comment on the resolution but vowed to continue speaking his mind.

As the Gallup Poll noted, McCain has a generally consistent conservative voting record but forged a national reputation after a series of notable breaks with fellow Republicans.

On Tuesday, though, he sided with the president on two issues that have made headlines recently: teaching intelligent design in schools and Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who has come to personify the anti-war movement.

McCain told the Star that, like Bush, he believes "all points of view" should be available to students studying the origins of mankind.

The theory of intelligent design says life is too complex to have developed through evolution, and that a higher power must have had a hand in guiding it.

I don't want to hear a single thing from Republicans in this country when this trend comes around to bite us in the ass. Not a single, freakin' thing.

People have been free to believe in UFOs, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and its done no harm. The only people who will be influenced by the teaching of this myth are the same white trash who'd believe it whether its teaching was sanctioned by the govt or not.

I prefer to have my pool cleaners and caddies dumber than stumps. I see no reason not to turn the entirety of the bible belt into a fantastic source of indentured servitude labor. We should encourage them to believe more absurdities. The stupider, the better. When they get further crushed by globalization, we'll get them to mow lawns for a fraction of whhat those damn landscaping companies charge.

Careful, this crowd gets hostile if you get too affectionate with any one individual poster.

If Bob starts writing about Spanky stroking his fingers through Bob's hair while Bob's blowing him, people will not get hostile exactly...

I think it'll be more like the reaction to ipecac.

Hank's got the goods on the torrid Not Bob/Spanky affair?

Wait... Not Bob is the Serbian tranny? Fuuuuccck me. It was in front of my eyes all along... so obvious.

Fark.com is running a photoshop contest re: Democratic celebrity candidates for CA gov. 2006. Several inspired choices there, but this one, IMO, is clearly the front runner.

I imagine having PP stalk the candidate across the state might become a bit distracting, though.

How can it not be obvious to you that Hank and Spanky are having an affair? Hank speaks for Spanky all the time, has him in his sig line, keeps trying to tie himself closer and closer to Spanky in an obvious effort to have some (relative) popularity rub off (sts) on him . . . .

Isn't Christopher Walken going to be the next CA governator?

I'm in denial. But I am glad to hear Not Bob is Not Blowing Spanky.

Why don't they celebrate their love with a Sphanky sock?

I have to say the whole "life is too complex to have developed through evolution, and a higher power must have had a hand in guiding it" argument strikes me as very similar to Barbie saying "Math is hard!"

I have no particular problem with your second proposal, so long as the moronism is freely chosen - meaning the kids must be properly taught, so as to have the opportunity to reject on an informed basis, evolution before being sterilized and assigned to the positions of servitude that they profess to want back so badly from the illegal Mexican laborers who have greedily stolen them away.
