you do have a point, but really, washington people who didn't vote for the iraq invasion are hard to find, especially the ones with "experience," and especially the ones with "foreign-policy experience." at least biden has called his iraq invasion vote a mistake, and for quite some time. people tried to wrestle that word out of hillary clinton for years, and i don't know if they've succeeded even yet. (oh i think they did succeed, a few months ago.) obama's choices were very limited when it comes to your criterion. he could have asked kucinich to be his v.p. nominee, but would that ge

i guess that wouldn't be p.c. in today's america. someone says he was doing his job. that's true. was it a moral job? maybe to some it doesn't matter. apparently to a lot it doesn't matter, actually. that's just my impression and it could be wrong. it does matter to me. john kerry wasn't "lucky" enough to become a five-year p.o.w., an experience that might have advanced his political career way beyond where it has gone and where it will ever go. i don't think it deserved to go farther than it has gone, though, and neither does mccain's -- on their war experiences only for star

he is??? i'd better check his stats again.

hey, there's abbie hoffman, in the second one down.

i still feel bad for him when ny fans boo him (what sort of people do that year after year, anyway?), but i also still can't stand him. now there's a guy who takes himself too seriously. and also what you said.

oh god. will my naivete never die! but it seems like years will pass before they even reach the break-even point. especially if they continue to do stuff like digging up papi's shirt for $50,000 on top of what must already be monumental costs. not that i'm worried about them.

of course he was disingenuous. it's a part of his humor, a part of his shtick, and it's his job. he's humorously disingenuous for at least half of each of his shows.

also, in case someone hasn't said it yet, put out there absolutely anything and everything you want to get rid of. you wouldn't believe what people will buy, no matter how bad it seems to you. did someone say to shoot early birds? again, don't shoot them, sell to them. i once saw a yard sale ad that said right in it, "early birds will be shot." i went early anyway. i bought stuff and didn't get shot, at least not so's you'd notice.

i'll be happy if it's the last bos/nyy game in 2008, period. why again are the yanks building a new stadium? i still don't get it.

because that one's a mile high. he's not a short guy. think about it.

very well said. and i agree with many of crow's points as well -- thank you for not deleting your post.

if you advertise, people will show up early no matter what you say. my advice: sell to them! i've had tons of yard sales and gone to tons of yard sales, for years. there are serious yard-salers out there, they're on a mission, and they've mapped out a route. if you turn them away you'll never see them again, and you'll literally have fewer buyers because of it & more stuff left at the end. p.s. have a blast. yard sales are a riot.

joe biden made up for any substance i felt was lacking in other speeches. and he did it without being a smooth talker! now that's special.

it was my duty to watch it, but i couldn't tear myself away from yankee stadium, darn it. here's joe biden.

here ya go, i found a favorite already. love that jon stewart: Jon Stewart Discusses "Fair and Balanced" Fox News Reported by Priscilla - Tue 7:28 AM From TV Newser: "WaPo's Howard Kurtz attended a breakfast at the University of Denver during which Daily Show host Jon Stewart called FNC's "fair and balanced" slogan an insult "to people with brains." "I'm stunned to see Karl Rove on a news network as an analyst," said Stewart, adding only "Fox News Sunday" moderator Chris Wallace "saves that network from slapping on a bumper sticker...Barack Obama could cure cancer and they'd figure

thank you!

:yawn

fox may wish they'd done it; it does have a lot in common with their style of "reporting."

clinton's convention speech was better than i hoped for when it comes to trying to unify the party and getting her people behind obama as the democratic nominee. she deserves an A for effort on that and, as usual, her speech was strong and articulate. i've noticed ever since she stopped bashing obama during the primaries, though, that the message is only "elect obama" and not "obama has intelligence, x, and x and will be a terrific, x, and x president." she doesn't make the case for HIM; mostly she makes the case for the democratic-nominee-whoever-it-is. i do appreciate that the speech

no, your disingenuousness is silly. at least i hope that's what it is. if not, then i suggest you get your debate club team on the case, because it sounds like you've been on a serious vacation for a while. in the meantime, there's a baseball game to finish watching in my living room. good luck to you.

wow.

there ya go. epitome of warped-to-the-max priorities.

i have no idea. ask the anti-obama folks what their definition is. they're the ones who have been throwing the meaningless elitist label around for a year or two. i think it has something to do with lettuce.

no, they don't, and i haven't said one thing about mccain's marriages, today or any other day. i think he's getting mostly a free ride from public judgment of his marriages, though, whereas many others don't; i think obama's being labeled as elitist when mccain qualifies for that label in more ways than you or i could ever count is a ridiculous joke; and mccain's smarts are nowhere near what they should be, sort of like bush, as a potential president -- but some people buy his p.o.w.=president, and his "my friends"folksiness = he understands lower and middle class people's concerns, not to
