This morning my administration released the budget numbers for fiscal 2006. These budget numbers are not just estimates, these are the actual results for the fiscal year that ended February the 30th.
-- Dubya releases budget numbers for a fiscal year
that apparently ended on a fictional date,
Washington, D.C., Oct. 11, 2006

Not only does February not have 30 days,
but the fiscal year itself doesn't end in February anything.
It ends on September 30th

Is Bush so out of it he doesn't even know
how many days in Feb. or when HIS budget is put out?

I'm writing a paper about females in politics and trying to prove that women are not intellectually inferior, more squeamish and just generally less equipped to rule.

A million people, a thousand thousand people have contracted AIDS in America, they have a very low probobility of surviving. It is PROVEN that HIV has a higher probobility of spreading in homosexual couples, it is PROVEN that the only way to contract HIV is to have had sex with someone who already posseses the disease(blood-transfusion was fixed a long time ago), this means that they only way to get this and other STDs is to HAVE SEX WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS, and yet anyone who points this out is called a homophobe or is accused of taking the "moral high ground," when will people realize that STDs ARE caused by immorality, they are not the fault of the governement, or societal messages, or racial images, or George Bush they are the fault of the people who give and contract them. Especialy that of those who give them, don't give me bullshit about "natural sex drive" if you contract a fatal STD you stop having sex, to have sex with someone while possesing an STD is tatenmount to murder.

after all Mark foley was a republican, and he was fondled by a catholic preist too. so therefore Santorum must be twisted too and none of the democrats ever seem to be morally off base.

Do you remember? I even asked a question asking 'how great the british police were for foiling the terrorism plot' and most people said that the police were great for stopping them. Apparently they were planning on blowing up 9 or so trans atlantic airliners leaving the Uk bound for the US.

I just want to know what has happened top these would be terrorists !!

Does Canada have a better system when it comes to who it lets in, or is it indicative of some deeply rooted cultural problems in the US?

Or...??

How do these guys think they can get away from the police by trying to drive away and continually rack up driving violations next to the other charges they were accused of?

They swerve in and out of busy intersections with no regard for the lives others, they try to outrun the cops at dangerous, breakneck speeds, etc.

Whatever happened to taking responsibility and just turning yourself in? It's a lot less trouble.

Do you think criminals (men only - over 18) should be given a bare-backed flogging for certain offenses - especially sexual crimes and violent crimes? Say for a certain offense - 10 years in prison plus 1000 lashes, divided into 20 sets of 50 delivered over the prison term? It seems to me like these criminals are just being locked up, but not "punished." I say we lock them up for less time, save some money, but stripe their backs with lashes for their crimes. What do you think?

Recently 7 stadiums were threatened with dirty bomb - Nothing happened and it was openly said that the threat wasn't credible

But - is it likely that the US will be attacked with a massive chemical - nuclear or other type of bomb from within ?

Will it be timed around the elections or have more to do with when the terrorists can get it together than any particular date?

As soon as the US is attacked who is the most likely nation America will blame and or go after first ? Iran ? N Korea ?

Let's face it, they are all in on this whole "war on terrorism" that we are involved in. All three are basically one in the same, and all stand to gain a lot. Thoughts please!

People are upset with the current internation policy. If the Republican retain control of congress and things do not improve much by 2008, wouldn't that set the stage for a Democratic clean sweep in 2008?
If the Democratics win some control back now, don't you think that would create a share responsibilty if things continue to go badly for the next two years? Wouldn't that give a Republican presidential candidate a better chance of winning in 2008?

US elections are happening does that increase the risks of attacks ?

Is an attack coming soon is it going to be nuclear or a dirty bomb ?

What about the idea that the government is asking internet providers to slow down so that the government can monitor better ? (I got that from Shorty's question but haven't seen the article(s) she is quoting from)

I personally think it's an inaccurate way of counting votes. What's your opinion?
Serious answers please. Thanks!

Even if you do not like the president of the United States you should support him. And it offends me that you would call me an idiot for supporting MY PRESIDENT. America is the best country to live in. If it wasn't, we would not have as many people moving here from other countries as we have. Seriously, stop being jerks. Support your country if nothing else. If you don't want to support your country and your president then move and let the people that actually love this country live here.

As long as Iraq is on fire, the Democrats should have a cake walk to the White House in 08. And Jimmie Bob Baker knows that. That's why he wants to pull the troops out immediately after the November elections.

That would be a disaster. We need Bush to keep the troops in there for two more years so we can get a Democrat in the White House.

How are we going to do that??? Is our best strategy to challenge Bush's manhood (kind of hearken back to his frat boy days): "Hey Bush you wimpie dress wearing girly boy, you gonna let those ##^%$#ing &**$*$#en muslims wipe your #%@^@@$%ss all over the world stage??? Or you gonna be a man and fight back?""What are you Bush? Chicken?? Buk Buk Buk Buk."

Is this our best strategy of keeping the troops in Iraq?

Has controller of your elections decided on standard patternerns for order races will apper? Example would be in non presidental year the race for govenor would always be first screen shown if your state Govenior Race was held. Next Senator. Not wonderdering about any piticular order. Asking will you voting area have the same order depending on races that year? Does it or have you head talk that it will?

There are two young men in Texas who are baptist and have not crime record. They were accused of child abuse that was disproven in court. The evidence was ignored and the men both of whom are married and have families, got a combined total of forty years in high security state pens 300 miles away from each other. One was given 24 years and the witness brother was given 16 years. Just four years earlier a man was convicted of murdering his wife and children and was given 12 years! Amazing!

According to this article the only people that aren't screened for diseases upon entry to the US are Tourist and Illegals. Why aren't we screening Tourist? I allready know why we aren't screening Illegals. I simply don't understand why we don't screen tourist.
