I just read that Congress has a 30% approval rating - the same as Bush's. Maybe the polled Americans don't approve of anybody??

What do you think this means?

Do you think the majority of Americans believed this war would be no contest, and that the enemy would be intimidated by the size and capability of the American force? Are Americans surprised that the conflict continues, and that the enemy forces have fought back so fiercely? Do Americans view the conflict in Iraq as a war? Is the enemy cheating because it resorts to guerilla tactics and suicide missions? Can there be any international rules of engagement in general?

Monday I got a parking ticket on my car at 10:50am.
It stated it was issued the day before (Sunday) at 2:40pm.
Violation: 32903 FMC Not Paralled w/ curb
Description of Violation: Vehicle is R/F tire not paralled w/curb (18") Facing wrong direction
Sunday, I came home at 2:25pm, I parked paralled, <18" from curb, facing the right direction. I used the car again at 4pm, there was no ticket. (I did park facing opposite direction, < 18" from curb after 4:30pm Sunday). I believed that the ticket was issued to meet a quota and wrote a different date and time.
I have a Corolla, the ticket stated that the model is Ter. The color stated was incorrect also. The License number and last 4 digit of VIN were correct on the ticket.
Should I pay or fight? I believe that if they want to fine me, they should not lie on the ticket and take the trouble to get the correct information.
It is a $60 penalty. How do I know if the penalty is correct if there are so many incorrect information

So am I the only that thinks President Bush is being unreasonable about pulling troops out of Iraq. I've discussed this topic with others from America And Britain. We agree that if we don't get out of Iraq there is going to Governments trying to kill America and Britain. Please post your own opinions. But please make sure they are constructive.

When even the Pentagon now admits there never was!

Pentagon report says no link between Saddam and Al-Qaeda
Fri Apr 6, 11:46 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) -Interrogations of Saddam Hussein and seized documents confirmed the former Iraqi regime had no links with Al-Qaeda, a Pentagon report said Friday, contradicting the US case for the 2003 invasion.

A two-page resume of the report was published in February, but on Friday the Pentagon declassified the whole 120-page document.

According to the inspector general of the US Defense Department, information obtained after Saddam's fall confirmed the prewar position of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pentagon intelligence that the Iraqi government had had no substantial contacts with Al-Qaeda.

This position was shored up by interrogations of Saddam, the former Iraqi president and other top officials captured by the US-led coalition forces in Iraq, the report said.

This is family land divided in 2 different sides - The O's and the C's. At one time, this was one family. The property has been passed down to children and grandchildren. The O side built a gravel road (private) to divide each side. This is the only road developed (on O servitude) for the C's side to get to their homes - permission granted. Of course, each year, we put up monies to keep the road up, where others do not. Over the years the O's has sold their property and homes to people outside the family. They allow usufruct to THOSE people to get to their homes. OK, I want to sell my home now. What the O's are telling me is that they will not allow the new owners usufruct to their property? IS THIS LEGAL?? When my husband and I retrieved our map for the C side (surveyed) their is a 30' servitude, but NO road developed. Please help me with the legalities of this issue.

Twice today, people have posted questions about that stupid teacher showing Brokeback Mountain to a group of 12-year-olds. Both people assumed that liberals would be in favor of this.

Both times, when I responded that, as a liberal, I think it's unnecessary to show sexually explicit material of any type to any 12-year-old child, I was given multiple "thumbs downs."

Can someone explain the logic behind this?

My mom and dad have been divorced for almost 20 years. My mom is disabled and living on state's care in Washington, with some assistance from family. She recently told me that, per the divorce settlement, my father was to pay her life-time alimony. However, once she moved from California (where the divorce was granted) to Washington my father never paid her any money. She was getting asssistacnce from her parents, so she never really went after him but now that both of her parents have passed, she has very little money coming in. Can she go after my dad for alimony again? Where would I be able to get a copy of the divorce settlement? Would it be on file with the court after all this time? She wants me to look into this for her, but I'm not sure where to start!
