I mean this is the best fake Bin Laden yet, but couldn't they at least take the time to get the beard the right color?

I can't believe Pentagon Productions/Al Qaeda is getting this sloppy!

(Let's just assume that Senator Craig was in fact making "advances" in the men's bathroom of the airport)
A lot of people are saying he's not gay. But wouldn't you have to be at least bisexual to ever be sexually involved with a member of the same sex? Can someone really be THAT bored and desperate? It just doesn't make sense that a straight guy would ever do anything sexually with another guy. What do you guys think?

"Osama bin Laden mocked the United States as "weak" and vowed to escalate fighting in Iraq in a new video, his first such appearance in nearly three years ... His appearance appears to be timed to mark the upcoming sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington."

Does anyone here agrees with me that the video is just something posted routely and delibrately by the US government prior to the coming 9/11 to scare and indoctrinate the American population, manufacturing lies so that the US government can do whatever its want outside of the USA?

Yesterday, the Senate and House held hearings on the question of whether hedge funds executives should be taxed at the same rate as other rich people (the House hearing was more broadly on the question of tax fairness). Yes, that tells you how ludicrous the debate has become. Hedge fund and private equity executives have used a wrinkle in the tax code to pay just 15 percent on so-called "carried interest"; other wealthy people pay 35 percent (also too low but that’s a different debate). And, of course, this says nothing of the spectacle of people who make hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars paying a lower rate of taxes than a middle-class person. Rep. Sander Levin has introduced a bill (H.R. 2834) that would, in fact, raise the tax rate on "carried interest."

Average pay is $500 million. The top earner last year, according to Institutional Investor’s Alpha magazine, earned $1.7 billion. They pay a 15% capital gains rate instead of the 25% a teacher might pay

Last night some idiot guest on Hannity and Colmes had this to say:
We are winning the war on terror, but we are going to have to fight it for generations.
(and nobody called him an idiot?)
That doesn't sound like 'winning' to me.

If this idiotic statement were made on some obscure little channel in the backwoods, it would be understandable.
But, Fox News is the top-rated 'news channel' in the US, for God's sake!
Being non-American, could some of you explain how this (Fox News = most popular) happened? The logical conclusion would be that America is a nation where halfwits prevail. (Judging by your President, - elected twice - this is a possibility)

Can America please regain its pride and dignity, and elect Hillary in '08? (Bill being back in the White House has a certain comforting feeling to it)
PLEASE?
The world will breathe a huge collective sigh of relief.

Alright, now I know that George W. Bush isn't the best president this country's seen. But my teacher has comical pictures of Bush on his wall. Distorted faced pictures of Bush, Bush riding an atomic bomb, a picture of the United States flag upside down with the word "Politics" under it.

Ohkay, so what if he doesn't like Bush or the politics in America, but here's the thing I'm wondering about. How come he has a large, undistorted picture of Osama bin Laden on his wall too? It seems like he dislikes the West and favors al-Qaeda and bin Laden.

I don't know, is this "right"? freedom of speech

I've never seen such 'cherry-picking' in my life!

The new Con/Republican warcry:
The Dems and bin Laden are 'brothers in arms'!

Is this called 'grasping at straws' when facing a landslide defeat in the upcoming elections, or what?
