If that's the worst thing they can think of that Bill's done, that's pretty sad. I can think of 10 Republicans up top of my head that have gotten in trouble for scandals that are much worse than that (like soliciting a policeman for sex), and that's just recently. What's the harm in engaging in beautiful love acts with a gorgeous younger woman? Bill Clinton did NOT lie about it either. He did not engage in s-e-x, just oral activity, and I don't think of that as s-e-x. Republicans need to focus on their own bunch of criminals.

I know you have a right to deny or let them search you but what usually happens after you say 'no'?

Joseph Biden is among the most partisan of Democrats, and one of the least respected members of the Senate, even by his own party. Yet the liberal blogs are going nuts in celebrating his appearance on Face The Nation.

Why?

**I am not being sexist against Hillary - I'm fairly certain she could grow a beard if needed and she does have a low voice.

Are these ALL not the SAME talking points the Democrats use DAILY? EEEErie...


Bin Laden also spoke to the ongoing situation in Iraq throughout the tape, heavily criticizing the Bush administration.
He also speaks to recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to "the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes..."
"To conclude," bin Laden says, "I invite you to embrace Islam." He goes on to say: "There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent."

Lately I've noticed an increase in military jets flying over where I live (bay area, ca). This afternoon I saw 4 fighters flying in formation on a westerly course; I think they are either F15s or 16s. Is this a stepping up of the security now that 9/11 anniversary is getting close? What kind of measures is the government taking to prevent another attack?
Do military aircrafts patrol the coast and US airspace regularly? Are there regulations?
And is it possible to hear (maybe not too loud) sonic boom caused by a jet if you're ground-level?
I know it's a lot of questions, but I'd appreciate it if you could take some time and answer them. Thanks.

From a Chaplain in Iraq.

"I recently attended a showing of "Superman 3" here at LSA Anaconda. We
have a large auditorium we use for movies as well as memorial services
and other large gatherings. As is the custom back in the States, we
stood and snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the
main feature. All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the
way through the National Anthem the music stopped.

Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back
in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few
rude comments, and everyone would sit down and call for a movie. Of
course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first
place.

Here, the 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed
forward. The music started again. The Soldiers continued to quietly
stand at attention. And again, at the same point, the music stopped.
What would you expect to happen? Even here I would imagine laughter as
everyone sat down and expected the movie to start.

Here, you could have heard a pin drop. Every Soldier stood at attention.
Suddenly there was a lone voice, then a dozen, and quickly the room was
filled with the voices of a thousand Soldiers

'And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof
through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?'

It was the most inspiring moment I have had here in Iraq. I wanted you
to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you here.

====================

Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins on 5/14/07. LSA Anaconda is at the Balad
Airport in Iraq, north of Baghdad"

Catching the UK TV news I see that a group of women MPs are thinking of a law to prosecute males who try to buy sexual favours.

This girl throws rocks at my house and terrorizes my animals. When they hear her coming, they will hide in terror, even though my yard is fully enclosed. She will come right up to my gate with a dog and stand there to intimidate. Her father has a crimminal record. He yells nasty names as he drives by and acts threatening. I think he's putting her up to it.

Makes the rest of the candidates look like typical white, middle-aged, out of touch racists. I absolutely love it that we still have politicians who know how to be hip and cool with other cultures; and frankly how can you ignore the hispanic vote?

Any politician who is white and cannot relate to all Americans should be automatically rejected for running. I want a bilingual President and that should be mandatory.

People who complain are all racists and I hope that one day we have some kind of forced education requiring all white people to learn Spanish, and speak it every now and then. Maybe one of of day week or something, everyone needs to speak Spanish, so you'd have to too. Also, public schools teaching Spanish in high school is not enough. We need required learning for adults too.

Anyone else think this would be great? I think its a great next step in the right direction.

This is a great article for both pro and anti Bush groups. The gist of it is that Bush has used presidential power to interpret the law. Even pro-Bush conservatives should ask themselves if they want a President to have that much power. After all, if a Republican president can do it, what's to stop a Democrat from doing the same thing? I'll draw your attention to the part of the article that says Bush has signed bills, then 'redesigned' the enforcement of them. This could be done by ANY president. Is it time for Congress and the Supreme Court to step in and strictly define the Executive branch's powers?
