I've heard that Plame was tracking nuclear weapons in the mid east - specifically Iran - and that she headed a fake oil services company over there - if she was outed as an agent - wouldn't the Iranians, et all arrest or kill those in their country associated with her? If this is true and Cheney's office outed her cover, isn't that a far more serious crime (treason) than is being covered in the press? Am I just paranoid?

Liberal Hollywood makes millions of dollars off of torture movies ( Saw & Hostel ), It's must be ok to have torture as entertainment. Even if the US is using torture, it's alot less cruel then what Saddam or islamic extremest use

I think that has been plenty enough for America to want to get this neoconism out of it's system. The G.O.P. will be dissolved after 2008.

Today ,a t the company that I work for,we had a dinner served to us by the upper management. What disturbed me was that they wore red white and blue sparkle vest, and big floppy Uncle Sam top hats, and ,of all things, a red white and blue feather boa!! All I could think is "Are we celebrating a national holliday with clowns???" To say the least, I lost any and all of my appitite when I saw that! So tell me, what would you have done in my shoes? I left the area very mad but saying nothing. Would you have done the same or would you say or do something??

Why is it that people get different sentences for the same exact crime? Like for example some guy got 100 years for manslaughter while another did 15 years for first degree murder? It doesn't make any sense to me. Should the laws be changed so that each crime has a mandatory sentence? I assume that it would be a lot easier on the judges too because they wouldn't have to make a decision on how long someone should be put away. Another thing I don't get is how these 2 guys in Texas received 14 life sentences for attempted murder of a trooper. Why when they didn't even kill him? Not even the worse serial killers and terrorists get that long. I understand people should pay for horrible crimes but why do some get a lot harsher punishment for the same thing than others is beyond comprehension!

I was in a car accident in Texas (el paso). I went to the hospital and got my bill a few months later. I was under the understanding that the insurance company have to pay my bill by law and the insurance claim's guy told me that they do have to pay by law. He then told me I would have to settle first or go to court over it. Is this true?? theres no way i can get my bills paid without signing anything? Im asking because I'm worried that if I settle and then need medical attention for somthing related to the accedent I will be stuck with the bill. I dont want to wait to long Im thinking the longer I wait the harder it will be to get a lawyer to take the case. I tryed to figure this out myslelf but i didnt know were to start so plz leave a link to were you got your info if its on the web, thnx for helpin.

I’ve heard that since Scooter isn’t yet fully pardoned (and would technically be on appeal) that he can plead the fifth in the Valerie Plame Wilson civil suit.

Can anyone confirm that?

I heard that due to the radio programs, America listened, and
rose up in protest to Bush and the senators. Now the Dem.
Senators have told Bush, they will not support him in any endeavor, and especially the war in Iraq, and the Immigration
policy he's tried to shove down everyones' t hroats. They are
desperate to keep their jobs, that have been threatened. But
we still know they are prone to fishtailing. Do we want to see
that again? I feel as a former member of the Silent Majority, I
don't and never will be silent again.

What is it with people in yahoo Q and A? Can't you people answer a simple question without changing the subject to George W Bush? It doesn't matter what it is or what the question is about, you people ALWAYS end up complaining or bringing up George Bush! Whether it's the meaning of the 4th of July, how our government works, our nations history, past presidents, global warming, war in Iraq, terrorist attacks in Britain, tsunamis in Southeast Asia, or whatever.........it ALWAYS ends up being a complaint about George Bush! Aren't you people getting sick of it? Can't you answer a question without bashing our president?

How are most background checks conducted? Is it only by the states I list where I've lived? Or do employers simply check all states? I know background checks cost money to perform. I was born and raised in CA but moved to NV. I wanna go back to CA because of all the trouble that I have gotten in in NV. When I move back to CA, can't I just put down on my applications for employment that I have ALWAYS lived in CA?

Please? He lost his d.l. from a dui in 2001. Unfortunately, he had a whole bunch of them prior to that date. He went to a live in treatment center and I am proud to say he hasnt had a thing to drink since then. Yet, he needs to be able to drive. Any suggestions? All the states are connected ( in other words, if he applied for a license in say, VA., he would be refused because it would pull up his record in Florida, which revoked his license for life). I think the guy deserves a chance, he has not had a drink for over 6 years, yet, he feels like he is condemned for life! Oh, I admit, he has had loads of DUI's, but none that resulted in an accident or anything like that. In fact, I remember when he had one in his own driveway! No kidding, I was there!!! how that happened I will never know 'cause he didnt drive anywhere but we are talking about Florida here, and Florida is extremely corrupt! So, folks, whatcha think? Can't wait to here this controversial response..LOL!!!!

I moved from Arkansas to my home state Iowa after being granted a divorce in 2006 and custody of my three boys. My ex has reasonable visitation. After the divorce she got in major trouble with the law (she’s completely different than when we were married) for drugs and child neglect (not my kids) and more, and when we (my boys and I) lived in Arkansas she never wanted to see them, so I left my dead-end job with Walmart (in less than 3 years I was the highest paid hourly manger yet could not move up to salary unless I worked nights) and moved back home to Iowa. I started back to college because I have 3 boys to put through college or help them do what they want to do (as long as they work). Now my ex has contacted me (through email) and says she’s remarried but doesn’t have a home they are living with her husband’s aunt.

When I was 17 I was charged with identity fraud and larceny over $250. (I hung around with the wrong crowd of people and they blamed their wrongdoings on me). The judge was very good to me and gave me a continuance without a finding. I served 1 year of probation, payed restitution, and was through with everything. (Note: I was charged as an adult because Massachusetts charges people 17 yrs. or older as adult).

It's been approximately 6 years and I haven't been into any trouble (I've learned my lesson).

I've never been convicted of the crimes, nor am I considered a felon.

If I were to take a background check to obtain a professional license, would I pass? The background check I need done has this stipulation:

You will fail if:

---- (1) You have any felony convictions, other convictions of a serious nature, or any conviction or judgement related to fraud or similar crimes.

Does this mean I will fail because I have two CWOF's on my record from 6 years ago?

I have come to the conclusion that the President's botched Iraq occupation has fueled a rise in nativist/isolationist sentiment in both political parties.

Here are some examples:

The number of immigrants entering the nation was higher during the Clinton administration and has remained level for many years or has fallen some, but the issue really did not gain any attention until a few years ago. Why did the issue become paramount overnight when this has been occuring for 20 years?

Support for free trade at the beginning of the Bush term was high in both parties. You could say there was a consensus between the parties supporting it. The protectionist sentiment appears to be growing again even though the American economy has very low unemployment and the highest per capita salary in American history.

These are just two examples, but it appears Americans are turning inwards from the world since the Iraq quagmire instead of looking for solutions and being engaged in the world.
