No, but I don't watch TV much anyway, so that's hardly a surprise.

No, but I'm at about 1995ish in the Looming Tower book. Bin Ladin just got kicked out of the Sudan.

It is pretty hard to get me offended, but for some reason this picture really offends me.

I can decide if it is because:

1) It is so incredibly tacky and in poor taste. It looks like it belongs airbrushed on side of a stingray corvette.

2) Because many of the people that would appreciate this picture thought Jesus let the planes through to punish us for our sinful society.

3) Jesus is made to look like a Caucasian when he was Semitic.

4) People should be somber and respectful towards the events that happened on 9-11 and this picture is neither.

No did you?

(I am not watching anything that relates to 9-11 - way to depressing)

I can't think of much of anything other than Penske's photoshop jobs that shows poorer taste. So that would be a no for me.

Most of Penske's photoshops are done by others. So he isn't the only one who finds value in the photoshop posts. I wonder if the same could be said for your personal attacks on the second most beloved poster, on a day he has announced he is on break?

I disagree at least partially with this post.

Spanky, you should not make so many absolute and positive statements about God. I believe Penske point was to show the potential trap of believing absolutely in one's religion w/o considering others- I hate to be the one to tell you, but you fell right into his trap. You got played, playa.

Yes, I found it entertaining (in the interesting sense) and very high production value for TV. I also don't get what the hype was about. No one has been depicted unfairly yet.

1. It wasn't a personal attack. Not much call for reading comprehension in patent law?

2. I need to see some kind of proof before I accept the "second most beloved poster" claim.

3. His dick fell off this morning and he can't stick up for himself?

4. Penske managed to post the tacky Jesus WTC van tatoo. I imagine he can pop up if he really feels the need to defend himself.

You've seen the FB. Apparently not.

One of Sullivan's readers on Clinton's lies and Bush's lies:

• Clinton is the more intelligent, calculating, and verbally acrobatic of the two presidents, and he knew damn well that he was splitting hairs when he denied having sex with Monica Lewinsky. Somehow, I don't see Bush's remarks about torture in quite the same light. They are just as disconnected from the facts as Clinton's were, and probably have far more serious, long-term consequences than Clinton's sleazy evasions. But Bush does not have a black belt in semantics like Clinton did ; he isn't fudging facts, calculating consequences, chopping logic, or coolly hedging his bets based on the probability of having to defend his statement in court at some future date. I wish that were all he was doing. Instead, the man actually believes his own lies. He is seriously deluded and appears to be suffering from a god complex that allows him to shout things into and out of existence, ignore or violate existing laws, and ultimately be accountable only to himself.

What sad posts on such a sacred day....

In the spirit of the day, which is not about arguing partisan politics, but remembering America's fallen heroes and renewing our faith and resolve in pursuing our nation's enemies in order to preserve freedom and the American ideal for our children, I decided, like my ally Slave, to avoid this board and its partisan vitriol and hate of America yesterday. I made one post in honour of faith, freedom and remembrance. Not only do you have to attack that faith and that expression of memoury and honour but you also choose to make politics of personal destruction attacks against me personally.

Sad.

You disparage and mock the faith of billions around the world and yet refuse to make similar disparaging critiques against America's Islamofacist enemies with us......seemingly more worried about the due process rights of the enemy than the First Amendment rights of our your fellow Americans......more worried about a treasoner's right to express her felonious threats against our CinC during wartime than my right to express my grief on the interwebs chatting board that is the successor in interest to the board I invented.,..,,,

Jesus and his dad, G-d, weep indeed...

He gave up his bar membership in exchange for avoiding debarrment, i.e. admitted his guilt, i.e. proven liar/perjurer.
