I was driving the kids home from the playground the other day and I had AC/DC on the car stereo. I looked in the rear view mirror and my 3-year-old daughter was sitting in her car-seat, with her head moving back and forth to Back in Black. I didn't get her into it, didn't tell her to do that - - it just came naturally.

Most 3-year-olds you have to play Barney to get them to stop whining - - mine is happy with AC/DC.

Why is a White House spokesman telling us what Justice Department policy is? From the NYTimes : A White House spokesman, Tony Fratto, said Congressional threats to have presidential aides charged with criminal contempt would probably end in failure. “It has been the Justice Department’s long-held view that the law does not permit Congress to require a U.S. attorney to convene a grand jury or otherwise pursue a prosecution” when someone refuses on the basis of executive privilege to testify or turn over documents, Mr. Fratto said.

...no one was in the area to help. They said they would send someone over as soon as possible.

I hung up. A minute later I rang again. 'Hello,', I said, 'I called you a minute ago because there were people in my shed. You don't have to hurry now, because I've shot them.'

Within minutes there were half a dozen police cars in the area, plus helicopters and an armed response unit. They caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the officers said: 'I thought you said you'd shot them.'

To which I replied: 'I thought you said there was no one available'.

So what is going on here? What better priorities could there have been than catching smackheads?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I ask this for many reasons. Mainly the FOX News/ CNN. One definately swings majorly to the left and the other majorly to the right. As a soldier, civilian, and student I feel that I do not listen to any of them. I may watch my local news, BBC is very non liberal and to get my news sources I usually go to the News section on Google because they can offer mainy views about the war, politics, and etc. Would you say most military people have conservative, liberal, or pretty much non-biased views? I personally have the agenda to just say "roger" to politics because I can stay in my own lane.

when the senate held a recent all-night session with regards to the Iraq war, it was reported that the president planned to veto their decision to begin pulling troops out of Iraq by April 2008. I was initially led to believe that the president's decision was made only upon hearing about the session, but I later recalled that he had in fact stated previously that he would veto anything that involved a specific date for withdrawal. But not only did the decision to begin removing troops fall short of the 60 votes needed to pass in the senate,but the president would veto it anyway even if it did pass. Now I may be wrong, but I always thought congress/senate had the power to override any decision made by the president provided they had the necessary support (in this case the 60 votes needed by the senate) to prevent an autocracy on the part of the president. So how could Bush have vetoed the decision anyway even if it had passed in the senate? He alone would not have the power to. Would he

The most polarizing candidates that they can find. Hillary, Obama, Gore, Cheney, another Bush will only further divide us. Can't we find anyone ( no not Ron Paul) who will be more pallitable to Americans in general?

Do any of you dislike both Clinton AND Bush? Does everyone always pick a side? Has anyone voted democrat once, republican another time, etc based on the candidate and not the party? just curious.

I just answered a question on illegal immigration in which I mentioned overpopulation. I am curious what some of your thoughts are in this subject. I truly believe that it is a huge problem in this country. Yes it is great that we are healthier and living longer because of modern medicine, but cities are getting so congested and suburban sprawl is ruining our beautiful land. If the population continues to rise so rapidly we will continue to lose our forests and there will be no nature left! What should be done about this? Also, what are your thoughts on limiting the amount of children that Americans can have?

My father has been separated from my mother for about 40 years. He lived with another woman for 10 years after the separation from my mother, and then left that one to live with another one with whom he has been for more than 10. He never legally divorced my mother. He is now retired, receiving SS benefits and a retirement plan from a company. He lives in California, and the second woman has become common law wife seemingly entitled to all benefits of a wife. My father does not want to make a will, and has only appointed beneficiary of his retirement benefits, from the company he worked for, to my mother. Will the common law wife be able to argue those retirement funds, and the social security benefits are hers because of her rights as the common law wife? Or, if my father creates a will designating my mother, his first wife, to be the sole beneficiary override the common law wife benefits? My mother did not work, and hence, all the SS benefits are exclusively through my father's work.

The majority of our military do not like, or agree with protester's, and Liberals who claim they are against the war in Iraq. They are doing their job, and want Liberals to let them to that, and they want to win.
Why do Liberals think they are saving our soldier's lives, when they're not? They are only bringing down our men, and women's spirit's to win, like they did in Vietnam.
There are hundreds of testamonials by American soldier's all over this forum alone, telling Liberals to knock it off, and let them do their job!
Why do Liberals not listen to the very people they claim to want to save?
Liberals hinder our soldier's, do not help them.
Do Liberals have ears?

I think the hotline will be overwhelmed the first weeks. It is a good idea and it is becoming obvious that local government is the one to do the job the Federal government won't do.
