Why do they tell me they are interested if they aren't ready to hire? Also, they have informed me if I find a position elsewhere that they will "speed-up" their process. Any suggestions or ideas to what they REALLY mean?

It seems as though the neocon culture of corruption is still alive and well.

The Democrats tried to do to our troops in Iraq what they did to the ones in Viet Nam- spit in their faces! We need to punish the DEMS for their non-support of our troops in Iraq. Toss them out of office in 2008!

The person has been to court about three times. the plaintiff has never came but the defendant has. The defendant has been to all trials. No murder or anything like that. No side has been heard yet.

Why should the rest of us have to carry the financial burden of this fiasco?

Paul Wolfowitz actually claimed that the war would pay for itself with oil revenue.

The London lawyer representing the injured bomber Dhiren Barot today warns that terrorist convicts are being targeted by other inmates in British jails. And she predicts a Muslim 'backlash'.

Barot is a Muslim convert from London who was jailed for life last year for planning mass murder in London and New York with explosive-filled limousines and a radioactive 'dirty' bomb.

Apparently because he has been injured in prison he is expected to make a 'substantial compensation claim'.

His lawyer, Muddassar Arani has complained that Muslim prisoners in Durham's Frankland prison are in particular danger: 'There are not that many Muslim prisoners there, and there is safety in numbers...I don't understand why they can't put them in a separate wing where they can be protected.'

What do you think; are prisons failing in duty to 'protect' jailed terrorists?

If you count the Bush 1 VP, it will have been 28 years at the end of Bush 2’s term. If you don’t it’ll be 20 YEARS!!! And now people want to vote in Hillary Clinton!? It might be 24, 28, 32 or 36 years of Bush/Clinton.

IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE. Am I wrong?

This was actually proposed by Alberto Gonzalez.

Of course, since the 'evidence' that makes the government suspect someone is vital to national security, you will never get a trial or way to appeal the decision.


Sooooo my fellow "conservatives," do you think the government should have arbitrary power to deny the 2nd amendment without offering a shred of proof or incrimination?

1) I want to know if corporate lawyers speak in the court room or not and if not what is their main job for the company they work for?
2) If they don't speak in the court, are they eligible to if they have passed the bar exam?
I am just wondering b/c I'm interested in corporate law but was confused about the above.
Also, how much money do entry-level corporate lawyers make on average?
Thanks

I see it all the time here. Hillary is a Socialist, Obama is a Socialist, Edwards is an ambulance chaser.

If you accuse Hillary & Democrats as being Socialists, can you tell me why? What is Socialism and what policies are they proposing that is Socialist.

I bought an item from a large retailer for around $1500.00. I canceled the order a few days later. They told me it would be fine, wouldn't ship, etc.

The next day I got an email it shipped. I called again since my card had been charged and I asked them to re-route the package back to them before it go to me (it's big). They said they would. NP.

The packages (its a few shipments) started arriving and the tenants under me signed for them and accepted them on behalf of me when I wasn't home.

I called again, they credited my card the full amount, and said they would send a dispatcher to come and get the items.

I can't return it to the store because I'm worried they may claim I still have it later, besides the fact that it's COMPLETELY out of my way and a HUGE burden.

They never came to get it. I called again, they still never came.

They sent me an email saying the order was closedt/aken care of.

I have the items, I have the credit.

...What would you do?

It has been recently annouced that the Bush administration is considering a 20 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia. Some argue that Saudi Arabia does nothing to assist with the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Futhermore, Saudi Arabia antagonizes our Isreali allies and several terrorists have been trained, harbored, and funded on Saudi soil. Does this deal have merits I'm unaware of or is Bush making huge mistake?
