  2. Agreed, there was a rather large, yet as equally ignored chorus of CIA folks, military veterans and former inspectors, Scott Ritter in particular, who tried to warn the administration, while also doing their best to educate the public, of what would happen post-invasion. Their words have proven disturbingly prophetic. Unfortunately, they were all but ignored by the very same press who, once upon a time, stood as a counterbalance to the sort of wool the administration used to blanket our eyes. Several weeks prior to the invasion, while the drum beats were at their loudest, I recall listen
  3. Of course, the bad news for the Giants, the Patriots, even when they are not at their best, are still better than, well, just about everyone else.
  4. That is not why I voted for Nader, he won my vote because I think he is exactly the sort of person we should be electing into office. Plus, Nader has done more good on behalf of us, than any ten contemporary politicians combined. In a toe to toe, no holds barred, Nader vs. Al Gore 1.0 Personality Cage Match
  5. I voted for Nader in 2000. At that point in time, before Al found his voice, and came across as only semi-life like, he did not strike me as someone to get excited about. Plus, I had become disillusioned with the Clinton administration. Since then, I

  12. A quick, simple Google search would have alleviated you of your doubts as to the veracity of Bjorn
  13. Three suggestions: The Road - Cormac McCarthy The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao - Junot Diaz A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini (Or, if you have the time, my top choice of all choices - Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace)
  14. Though it pains me to say it, I agree with you. (Which is not to say agreeing with you results in personal pain, because it does not, I agree with you quite a bit. I
  15. I agree with you on the first point. As for 2, low voter turnout hurting the Democrats, as someone who sees very little difference between the parties, another republican in the W.H. does not concern me all that much. I would be willing to bet, should Obama get elected, the democrats will quickly find new reasons and excuses for why we cannot leave Iraq.
