So why haven't I heard about this?

Washington Post--
Clearly, this "lawsuit" is a forgery -- and a pretty crude one at that.

No man in Rather's position would admit that he could be made to apologize for a story he believed was true. A straight-shooting newsman like Dan Rather would have resigned rather than obey an order to lie to the public.

No one in his right mind would keep insisting that those phony documents are real and that the Bush National Guard story is true.

But deep down Republicans know that they do not stand a chance at the next election so they resort to fraud, smears, and intimidation. But lets make one thing clear, there will be a black US President before there is a Republican President.

Bush's lie-based quagmire in Iraq and the GOP Congress's other pet projects have run up another TRILLION dollars of debt over the last few years.

Someone has to pay for it. Should it be the super-rich who have benefited from the GOP tax cuts and loopholes, or hard-working Americans over the next eight generations?

Is there a problem with everyone paying the same percentage tax on their income? 3,5,10 percent? Whatever it is, everyone pay the same. No limits on min or max income, straight across the board.

Aren't MIT students supposed to be, you know, smart? Ah, but then again, they did give tenure to that moron Professor Noam Chumpsky

It’s international news that the 19-year-old was arrested in Terminal C at Logan International Airport with a fistful of Play-Doh and a circuit board attached to her hoodie, which was emblazoned with the words “Socket To Me” scrawled on the back.

She would have been even more surprised if the police - rightfully - opened fire and turned her little art project into a scene that would have made last week’s screeching from just-tasered University of Florida student Andew Meyer look like a kid being tickled.

From the picture of her they have provided, she strikes me as a devotee of "feminist poetry" if you know what I mean

Constructive criticism and sometimes baseless slander of those in foreign countries is certainly plentiful amongst certain segments of American society as well as within our own government. However, some Americans foolishly believe that foreigners should have absolutely no say-so in manners regarding US gov't policy or the American way of life in general even though pushing such a consumerist lifestyle and overreaching US foreign policy can (and does) have a significant impact upon others around the world.

Is this not an obvious double-standard? Are there those that are so insecure about themselves that they cannot stand an opposing point-of-view that could potentially cast doubt upon their own deeply-held beliefs?

It popped out of Harry Reids mouth again today like he's some kind of demented parrot; "Awk, Tax breaks For the Rich, Awk!" Does this mean that the loopy left feels that success is something to be punished, or does he feel that this is ingratiating him with the people who don't want to work hard and want everything handed to they with no effort on thier part.

If you start with nothing, work long and hard, build yourself up and make a success out of yourself, aren't you living the American dream, and why does this toupeed tyrant feel that this is something to be punished? Lets face it, he's pulled some pretty shady deals to enrich himself yet I don't see him wanting his own taxes raised. Why does he want to punish others for being successful?

It wasn't Saddam. But you killed him and 700.000 more Iraqis.
It wasn't Iran. But you call him terrorist.
Some people say it was an inside job. But that's another story.
Wasn't it Bin Laden? Why don't you find him at last and leave the rest alone?

The government has failed at social security, they can't secure our borders. And now people want them to take over healthcare? They are the ones that screwed it up to begin with by having all these rules and stipulations to how someone can pratice medicine. If the government would just let the free market dictate the rules and standards on everything it is trying to control prices would be lower on everting including healthcare.

Once again, the democracy, the western bulwark against Islam, and American base for controlling the area arguments are not viable since our policies either pre-date these conditions and/or are regularly contradicted by our own actions.

Because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad killed them all. Will you now still cheer for him, against your president George Bush, who has never gone against your right to be gay? Nor has Mr. Bush tried to kill you, or your freedom to be who you are. Which leader for your country do you prefer, the one who will do you in, or the one who accepts you?
