So finally you admit Starr was right and the impeachment was warranted?

That one is necessary to finish the job that we were required to start to disarm them of the WMDs that they threatened us with.

that's actually not a "point." It's an example of fuzzy thinking.

No. Much as I don't think Israel should nuke Lebanon, I think impeachment was out of all proportion to the offense.

Moreton Bay Bugs are tasty, notwithstanding the name. The Sydney Opera House is lovely. And they gave us Peter Carey, whom I quite like.

Whereas your post here is astonishingly clear.

Needless to say, I defer to your superior expertise and experience with that subject.

if I post it as a blog on MySPace then you would buy it?

you dimwit, these people are dodging missiles and get shaky every time someone gets on their bus- and some Australian economist knows what's best for them?

Here's a big hint Ty, start scrolling by blogs that link to Kos or DU- your whole "I'm really knowledgable about every fucking thing" act starts to sputter when you post such nonsense.

The fact that it was an autoerotic thing gone wrong counts for something, though I'm not sure what. A real rawk star would have had a groupie or 2 fellating him at the time.


Oh, and the Hoodoo Gurus rocked.

I knew a guy in HS that died from that. What a sad fucking legacy to leave, but, truth is, he'll never be remembered without that aspect as a big fucking neon spotlight on his life. Plus he was only 17 so he had no real accomplishments to overshadow it. Eventually, maybe, people will just associate Hutchence wiht his music.

I'm not crazy, you're the one who's crazy!!!

Maybe Ward Churchill's on to something.......

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.

And more than half the people in the country now think Iraq had WMD. The proportion of the population that is in touch with reality would seem to be disturbingly small.

So did I. They found him in his dorm room closet after he hadn't come out for a few days. What a funeral that must've been...
