Christians aren't the problem. Fundamentalist Christians are the problem, and they would not be a problem if they would only keep it to themselves.

Victory in Iraq=an Iraq not an Iranian puppet state. (We could have achieved this by not invading it in the first place.)

Sheik Yerbouti is an incredible album.

It is sad today. Hopefully, we one day will meet at the Great VC Meetup in the Sky.

Obama would rip the shit out of McCain in a courtroom trial, especially since McCain ISN'T A LAWYER! Spin seems to be going Obama's way today - CNN poll finds 62 percent think O. won it.

I like to laugh at rubes sometimes, so I guess I'll go see it.

Well, if the Mets had any kind of bullpen consistency at all, September would be garbage time in the NL East. I shudder to think how rich either the Mets or the Angels are going to make K-Rod.

Yes. And McCain needs some new material - that bears in Montana DNA joke is at least two years old.

I hope they find the dog soon, man, and flay alive the van thief.

Lambic is good for the special occasions.

They might be hinting, but let's face it: it was the white dudes who made all the bad decisions.

Yeah, but if they actually let Palin debate Biden, it is going to be really bad. Even Dan Quayle looks like he knows what he's doing far more than she does.

I imagine Bristol will be brought into it somehow as a face-saving device.

Long live birthday, be it dead or alive!

Well said.

Wilco is for everybody, goddamit.

I will agree to the bailout, but only if it comes with strong safeguards so as to make a sustainable finance system based on reasonable growth. A guillotining or two on the steps of the NYSE of some of the worst offenders would be good, but I am willing to relent on that. I would also ban the sale of mortgages. The institution which issues the mortgage has to keep it until it is paid off. That will end bad lending practices.

Yes - I find it inspiring, the defeat of the Third Reich and all.

With the nationalization of the financial sector, we are seeing that already.

Solution on the way!

I am all out of angry things to say about the Mets. They just don't have it. A lot of talent on that team, but very little grit.

SD is correct. Doing 45 on the Thruway is not a safe thing. Shit, doing the 65 mph limit on the Thruway isn't that safe. My little car goes 72-75 max, and I get passed all the time on that road.

Cheney might see himself as Julius Caesar.

If the military was behind him, Bush (or any president) could become dictator, if they wanted to. I have kind of a hard time thinking that will happen, but deep down in side I believe in Jesus, Old Glory and the fundamental goodness of the American people.
