Douche of the Week: Dennis Kucinich

September 24th, 2007

This week, we salute Democratic Ohio Congressman (and Presidential hopeful) Dennis Kucinich for his titillating tour of the Middle East. Apparently, Mr. Kucinich thought himself just too darn important to stick to his President’s policy of avoiding direct talks with the oligarchic Syrian government; nay, the solidarity of the American administration must be sacrificed to Mr. Kucinich’s politcal ambitions. During this visit, he made it a point to stop by Syria and have a little one-on-one time with Syrian President Bashar Assad, a prolific sponsor of terror and sworn enemy of the United States.

As an Englishman who currently owns many major US based businesses i feel i must ask this.
I have noticed that many Americans on this site are a little upset over my use of the term"owning Americans".The terms"own" isnt meant in a derogatory fashion it is just the way we decribe employing people in England.The Americans who i control dont have any issues with me "owning" them and many look at me as some kind of hero.
Sorry if i have offended

There is a fairly obscure band that I know of, and a non-band related person put some of their music up on the web. Both the band and the record company that recorded their music are long gone, without even contact information to the owners. I know I could get away with downloading these songs, but just for my own comfort, I would like to know if it's legal or not.

I grew up a military brat with my dad in the army for 20 years and my brother's a captain in the army now as well. So I'm pretty familiary with the army. I'm about to join the guard, and I know it's only the guard, but everyone's been saying I should do it with the airforce just b/c it's easier, and they take better care of you..etc etc.. But I really wouldn't know. The army doesn't seem that bad either. But it's hard to decided w/out knowing too much about the airforce.

I don't know how many military people get on to Y! Ans., or whether they would know the answer to this: If a soldier is nicknamed (or codenamed) WEASEL, what attributes could this imply. The negatives are obvious.

The logic behind this question is Britain should be punished if it does not use her special relationship with the US to influence the US to stop the Iraq occupation.
NOW , apply this logic into China 2008 Olympics , western politicans have been advocating the boycott of Beijing 2008 Olympics if China failed to stop the Darfur killings and recently , the troubles in Burma . Can you detect some kinds of double standards / talks in this logic / argument ?

It appears that the foreignor George Soros and his Moveon.org party has taken over the Democratic party and installed his Socialistic views in them. His money is buying out the Democrats one by one. Are the American people ready for Socialism?

There was no hesitation in invading Iraq and they even found excuses like "weapons of mass destruction" that subsequently turned out to be false. Now that the Burmese people desperately need the help of the West they will get nothing except a few words of support.

It looks as if there may be a repeat of East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956 and Czeckoslovakia in 1968--i.e. the West will stand idly by while people's dreams of freedom are brutally crushed.

And they say it's not all about oil...

Hi all

I am from Europe, and I've always been an admirer of the United States. I just love the way everything feels free, and just the way the country operates. I have always wantes to join the US Military, and I know in order to do that, I need a Green Card. I have read about joining the US military in other questions here, but I have some extra quesions:

1. If I have a Green Card, is it just for me to go and speak with a recruiter (lets say from USMC), and show him the Green Card and say that I want to join?

2. How many years do I have to serve before I get a US citizenship?

3. If I join lets say the USMC, how are my chances to become a Scout/Sniper if I don't have US citizenship? And lets say that I have the citizenship after serving x years, will my chances to become a S/S be less because I'm not American-born?

I really hope someone can answer my questions!

The moderator at Columbia university claimed that Iranian women didn't even have "basic" rights in Iran, to which the Iranian President replied that they were active in all sectors of Iranian society, which is true: Consider this

1) 60% of university students in Iran are women
2) Iranian women have the right to vote and hold public office
3) They can drive ( unlike in Saudi Arabia)
4) They can work and compete for any job with men
5) They serve in the police and security forces
6) They can and do own businesses
7) They are highly visible in the media and arts
8) Iranian law is very severe to violence/harassment of women
9) They are entitled to receive a dowry from their husband upon marrying him

The only matters that are unresolved in Iran regard interpretation of Islamic law on civil affairs such as divorce & inheritance: Here, Iran has not pandered to Western moral decadence. Women cannot break up families as easily as in the West which has led to such social havoc

In the central vigilance manual it is stated that the Inquiry Officer may, in his discretion, allow the presenting officer to produce new oral or decumentray evidence not included in the lists of documents and witnesses given to the Government servant with the articles of charge. Now it has been argued by party that it will be trated as new addition to the charge sheet which requres the approval of Disciplinary Authority. How far it is correc? Is there any reference or any other rule or judgement available? please state with concret rules.

A President in my eyes and opinion, has always been a man's job...taking on that huge responsiblity of running a country is not an easy task, and not one that I would envision a female (no offense, women) doing...so I am really curious, what answers (hopefully all intelligent ones) I will get.

I believe in anarchy, equality, and feminism, as well as socialism and sometimes nationalism.

Are they dead or dying! I don't think that.

Is there anyone else out there sick and tired of the never-ending Iraq War and wish it would go away?What goes on in Iraq does not affect me at all and I'm sick about hearing the problems the US Soliders are going through,(they don't pay my Bills,the Hell with them).

Most americans are not in the Military and have no desire to ever join.The newsmedia should report about other things and they should ignore what happens in little tiny Iraq,it's on the other side of the world,what happens there dosen't affect me and I don't care about the american soliders,they don't protect me.

I live in a High Crime Area (Oakland,Ca.)those Soliders should be patrolling my streets instead of a faraway place like Iraq.
