A senior general, trusted by the Bush administration to take over the entire war effort, just publicly rebuked Bush and his entire war non-policy:

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," said retired Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting the job.

Sheehan said he believes that Vice President Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' " he said.

Bush wants to abdicate role as commander in chief to an unelected political appointee, and the top generals are lining up to say 'NO!'

I have this best friend. She is thirty three years old and does not work or attend college or anything. However, she shares a condo with her sister. She is fully capable of working part time.
Or, going to school for that matter. My problem is I'm a bit angry at her because I phoned her a couple of days ago. And, she was mad at me because I was not helping her out with gas money or tip money. She says I should give her three to five dollars for gas or tip money whenever we go out. She says it bothers her. We usually go out on the weekends once a week. She drives and picks me up at my house.I told my other friend about this and she said it was rude of her to ask me for gas money. I'm kind of angry at my friend. Does my best friend have a lot of nerve to ask me for this?

As smokers we know that tobacco is bad for our health! But we are the ones that are penalized for it! We are the ones that have to pay more for our health insurance and high taxes on tobacco! Instead of more taxes on cigarettes and tobacco why not put taxes on grocery items or raise the alchohol taxes! It not fair to target 1 group! Grocery tax would target everybody and it would be a more fair approach! I live in Indiana where they just put a state wide ban on smoking in businesses and places of employment! They had already spent money on airtight rooms with separate ventilation units and sealed doors! Smokers have been persecuted for a long time! I think that smokers should be able to claim some kind of tax deduction for the extremely high tax rate on tobacco! I WOULD ONLY LIKE SMOKERS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION! THANK YOU

Like for example, if both parents are WAter signs...Their children are RARELY born as air or fire signs. For example, my mom is an earth sign, capricorn...and my dad a water sign, pisces.... and I'm born a water sign (cancer) and my brother an earth sign(virgo). I've also noticed that most people I know who are fire or air signs, rarely have children who are water signs. Am i wrong? If i am , sorry! but thats my experience..Anyone who disagrees???

acropolis
analysis
cosmopolitan
electrolysis
metropolitan
paralysis
political
psychoanalysis

Choose which word best completes the sentence.

1. Throughout Greek history, the (acropolis, electrolysis) alternately served as a fortress, a religious center, and a political hub.

2. U.S. anarchist Emma Goldman once complained that "the (political, metropolitan) arena leaves one no alternative-one must either be a dunce or a rogue."

3. The doctor recommended (paralysis, electrolysis) as a means of removing hair.

4. To appeal to the sophisticated palates of their clientele, certain (political, cosmopolitan) restaurants serve items that feature a broad range of culinary influences.

5. In the final (analysis, psychoanalysis), I hope to be judged by the friends and family I've loved and the kindnesses I've shown, not by the possessions I may have acquired.


The last 3 questions are additional questions, because I ran out of room. Thank you for your help!

I have heard it is a difference between thin and thick. I adopted two 8" long piranhas and I am looking for more to breed them with. They have not bred (that I know of). They are both generally thick (about an 1" - 1.5"). The larger one has a low swooping anal fin unlike the other whose anal fin is not as prominent. I want to know if they are male or females so that I can buy them mates. Also, what is the best mix (more males? more females?) I want to end up with about 5. (They are in a 90g tank) Oh and in addition to the 8" ones I also just got a 4-5" one as well, will larger piranha's mate with smaller ones (given they are both over a year old?)
