I hate to keep pounding Glen Greenwald

So, would fixed gear be the type of bike where, when caterwauling down a steep hill, you either had to keep up with the pedals rotations, or, lift your feet and especially your shins free of the pedals as they rotated at a speed that no mortal could be expected to keep up with? Cause, if that is what we are referring to, then, I stand by my original post. Though, reading the last part of your statement, could any bike that has no brakes ever really be considered for use by pussies? I mean think about it man

You know, you

Probably I think so maybe

Eh

Anyone who

I was unable to find the essay online, however, I did find what I think might be a pretty good review/synopsis. And, based on what I

Is this from The Onion? It sounds like it's from The Onion. Only in America.

Salon's Glen Greenwald has provided excellent commentary on the ongoing FISA developments. More democrat wisdom from his latest post: Just as Nancy Pelosi ran to Time to justify her support for the FISA bill, Steny Hoyer yesterday spouted his justifications to The Politico and said this: In an interview with Politico on Monday, Hoyer called the FISA legislation a "significant victory" for the Democratic Party -- one that neutralized an issue Republicans might have been able to use against Democrats in November while still, in his view, protecting the civil liberties of American citizens

Staffers at a Duluth medical practice shuttered their office Friday amid charges of false imprisonment for allegedly locking a patient in a room when concerns arose about her ability to pay the bill. Dr. John Drew Laurusonis and office assistants Leslie Ann York and Alexander Acquah of the Doctors Medical Center were indicted this week. The three face arraignment July 3 on the charge. Police say Frances Bales, 36, of Duluth, was held against her will on Oct. 4, 2007, when she went to the clinic seeking treatment for arm pain. An attorney for Laurusonis denied on Friday that the internal

You've got my vote on that one. For the record, the Dobson story is now the lead story on CNN.com....what the eff????

ex-fucking-actly. Fantastic post.

"Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies?" he said. "What he's trying to say here is unless everybody agrees, we have no right to fight for what we believe." "What the senator is saying there, in essence, is that 'I can't seek to pass legislation, for example, that bans partial-birth abortion, because there are people in the culture who don't see that as a moral issue," Dobson also said. "And if I can't get everyone to agree with me, than it is undemocratic to try to pass legislati

Would it be at all possible for the government to get a restraining order of sorts issued protecting it from religious extremists? Perhaps something that has a little more teeth than the constitution? Dobson accuses Obama of 'distorting' Bible http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/24/eva...vote/index.html

"But while Bush's public comments about faith have been mostly within the mainstream tradition of presidential rhetoric, his supporters lately have gone in a less-familiar direction: conveying the idea that God is responsible for Bush being in the White House. "He is one of those men God and fate somehow lead to the fore in times of challenge," said George Pataki in the high-profile introduction of Bush at the Republican National Convention, an introduction almost certainly scrubbed if not written by the White House." - Slate.com http://www.slate.com/id/2106590/

How interesting. I

I agree that much of the hype surrounding Obama was and is generated and perpetuated by the media. But again, the same can be said of the tough, decisive, no bullshit aura surrounding Bush, most if not all of it was, we now know, total bullshit. The same could be said of McCain as well

Hey, that

Noam Chomsky on whether a democrat will bring significant change w/r/t our Middle East policy. And yes, it is long-ish. Can a Democrat change US Middle East policy? Noam Chomsky Recently, when Vice-President Cheney was asked by ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz about polls showing that an overwhelming majority of US citizens oppose the war in Iraq, he replied, "So?" "So -- you don't care what the American people think?" Raddatz asked. "No," Cheney replied, and explained, "I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in public opinion polls." Later, White House

Green is the new red. True enough - though I wouldn't go so far as to brand it a religion....not quite yet anyways. To be fair, that is an even more apt description of the opposition. (firmly bites tongue w/r/t organized religion
