"As the president toured the Americas, talks between the principal sponsors of comprehensive immigration reform in the last Congress — Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—reportedly reached a stalemate with Sen. McCain backing away from a lead role on the issue. That development, more than anything President Bush may have hoped to achieve in his attempt at regional diplomacy, currently defines the immigration debate within the halls of Congress.

The need for bipartisan cooperation on immigration reform coupled with the loss of visible leadership by Sen. McCain requires proponents of immigration reform to seek a new Republican champion. Finding that person, appears to be hostage to consultations the White House, through DHS Secretary Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Gutierrez, is currently holding with Senate Republicans.

The Confession Backfired
Humorists are having a field day with the confession:
Mohammed's confession admits to 31 planned and actual attacks all over the world, including blowing up the Panama Canal & assassinating presidents Carter and Clinton and the Pope. Having taken responsibility for the whole ball of wax along with everything else that he could imagine, he was the entire show. No other terrorists needed."Mohammed's confession of crimes and plots is so vast that Katherine Shrader, Associated Press reports that the Americans who extracted Mohammed's confession do not believe it either.
'I'm a very dangerous mastermind,' said Mohammed, who (YES! We weren't supposed to hear this !)) confessed to the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, the Brink's robbery, St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and the Lincoln and McKinley assassinations.
If there was anything remaining of the Bush regime not already discredited, Mohammed's confession removed any reputation left.

If you go to court to fight a speeding ticket, and the cop doesnt show up, is our case dismissed, and record cleared of that ticket? Also, if you show up, and then the cop is there, do you have a chance to not fight it, and take traffic school? Also, last time I wanted to fight a ticket, he showed up, but he dismissed all the fines he gave that day, and I got a check that gave me back the payment I made, so is that also dismissed?

Why is it that when we don't agree with the American policy, we're called "anti-american". But when we're against Israeli policy, we're called "antisemite"??

My sister (under the age) got calls from her boyfriend saying that he was someone else and that he was watching her. He said the address and all of this kind of stuff. He then said that he was going to kill everyone in the house. We called the cops and an officer came out but all he said was that we could press charges for phone harassment if he called again. Shouldn't there already be charges for the harassment and threats?

When will there ever be a united, 32-county Ireland? Spare me the talk about the will of the people in the Six Counties. If it weren't for Brit gerrymandering, the statelet would comprise all nine counties of the province of Ulster, but the Brits knew they would be swallowed demographically if they held onto Cavan, Monaghan, and Donegal.

Of course, this doesn't surprise me. When it comes to Ireland, Britannia waives the rules.

Queen Pelosi is actually a good choice for the Democrats to be Speaker of the House. She can't do any harm because she can't do anything, she can barely carry on a conversation.

The Democrats shot themselves in the foot when they gave her that position. She will manage to get nothing done, but she will blame everyone else.

That is what I call a total hypocrite! Financier of many of the democratic rebellion groups (such as moveon.org), and yet last week he purchased 20 million dollars of Haliburton stock. This is exactly why republicans have no respect for democrats. They are inconsistent. Your thoughts?

I have only heard of these possible candidates so far:
Obama
Biden
Edwards
McCain
Romney
Clinton
Paul
Kucinich
Hunter
Giuliani

I only know Giuliani's view on the subject, could any of you tell me the others

Or to make this simple - Which one stands against Homosexual Marriage

And if possible against Partial Birth Abortion - which I don't think any does so this may only apply to the Gay marriage.

I asked a question earlier, but forgot to add something. I recently got a ticked on the freeway for going 75 on a 65 and I was wondering if I should fight it in court. I got one before about 3 years ago, and the cop showed up, but he dismissed all his fines that day, and I got a refund, does this mean that this ticket I got recently would be my first offense? I did receive a refund afterall on my first one.

Interesting…...
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic. There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
