He was saying that "conservative opinion shows" were a counterbalance to the "liberal media"...

but one is almost pure opinion, while the other is actual news?

is this where conservatives are now? they believe one man's opinion over he facts of pictures, quotes and studies?

now granted... all conservatives are not like this... but I found it to be an odd statement... if you're taking someone's opinion over facts... then you could be convinced of anything...

and "facts and studies" can of course be skewed, but if you're looking at several different sources on different studies... shouldn't you believe that over opinion?

It seems like some conservatives take "opinion shows" as indisputable fact... even if the opinion show doesn't support it's own arguements... and then they call everyone else that doesn't agree with them "naive" even though they have no facts to back up their opinion...

Most of the damn Mexican women I see just don't seem to understand that looking like a muffin top is just not "sexy", specially when they are carrying a mocoso on their hip, and eating potato chips.

Even the mama-putas that have a decent body. Why do they feel compelled to look like whores? Is it because they want to get hit on since their husbands are typically frumpy looking empanadas?

Can't we do a community service announcement and have some signs in Spanish that say "if the top is 3 sizes too small, you MUST return to your nearest TJ Maxx and exchange."

Native peoples lived in this land for over 7,000 years. Some estimates put this at 15,000 years.

Europeans came about 500 years ago and broke almost every treaty made with the Native nations. Now we complain that Mexicans cross the border. Huh?

To me - every American, except First Nations people, are immigrants.

"I don't know what came over me," said a passing stranger. "I was kneeling in an unusual position outside the U.N. when I was suddenly exposed to a change in the weather." A spokesman for the Professor Pancha said in an earlier statement, "He's had it hard of late." The Prof. was remanded in a customs shed off Staten Island "for his own good," a policeman remarked to a crowd of drunk journalists. "People of this caliber should be eaten alive," said a Republican men'sroom attendant. "It's people like that who make NewYork interesting, and they must be deterred."Those were the days, my friend.

Subject: Re: LOL. Michelle, it must really suck to look up to hollywood degenerates, huh?

Message: Hey, Michelle, I can respect (actually I can't, but I can at least understand) someone that even when faced with the fact that even if Clinton is a rapist, that person still supports him. However, to deny the fact then just makes you looney. And I am not talking about Lewinsky.

Can someone please translate it for me? I don't speak, write nor understand this special type of idiot dialect?

The cops always look for motive. Unprecedented powers given to the
president (and V.P.) and the policies instituted at home and abroad
all covered in the PNAC document written in the 90s.

Any rational minded person has to at least be a little suspicious.

Before you claim, "PREPOSTEROUS !"; read the following irrefutable evidence.

1. We now have access to recorded eye witness accounts, from people inside of the building, reporting explosions taking place.

2. Photographs of the buildings, just before it went down, show molten metal flowing out, from the building.

3. A chemical analysis of the molten metal, found at the site, show traces of a chemical called, "Thermate". Thermate charges are used by professional demolition crews, to cut through steel beams, to demolish buildings. Incidentally, the samples were recovered by a member, of the clean up crew, who kept it as a souvenir memento. Most of the scrap metal, including the pools of molten steel, were recovered by a demolition crew, and illegally destroyed. http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml

4. Thermate traces have also been found, inside the bodies, of firefighters and clean up crew, who were exposed to the gases, from the molten debris.

Why is it when you ask a question about illegal immigration do so many people say Mexico is poor and we should help them? First, Mexico is not a poor country. There is plenty of money. It is not, however in the hands of the people. The general population is very poor, however, I fail to see how this is American's fault or responsibility.

Second, why is it that so many people use the current immigration situation as a "carte blanche" to criticize ALL Mexicans even those whose parents came here legaly?

I know that is two questions...sorry..answer both or either. Thanks.

My car slid down a little incline and partially into a street. Perhaps some wiseguy kid pushed it, or perhaps my emergency brake did not hold. I don't know. On it I found 3 summons. The first was, of course, for the car being in the street. The second was for not having a valid inspection sticker. And the third was for incorrect license plates. I just bought the car and haven't gotten around to registering it yet. However, I have gotten it inspected and it is insured. I looked carefully on the summons and the VIN # of my car was not on the summons. What happens if I don't pay the summons? Do the police keep a record of their own with the VIN #? Would the person from whom I purchased the car be held liable for the tickets? I plan on registering the car this week and the car will be parked near where I received the 3 summons. What are my chances that a diligent policeman will recheck the car and be able to find out if I did not pay the outstanding summons? Are these parking violations?
