Three Dover officials say they've found a serious homeland security threat to chew on: gumballs.

So, with the approval of the mayor and the skepticism of the police chief in this central Morris County town of 18,000, the three aldermen are in the middle of a nine-month inspection of Dover's coin-operated gumball and candy machines.

With Russia and Amercian relations weakening, do you foresee another Cold War beginning? If so, do you think that America could win again despite the economic degredation?

The Cold War was won by America through financial power but now America is not so financially secure and doesn't look like it will recover any time soon with the widening social classes. As a matter of fact, America is at war financial with it's self with the front on the middle class.

Having said all this, could America afford a two front financial war? Would America be able to sustain if other nations join pursuit, such as China?

There has been talk of China being in the position of Superpower in the near future with several nations like Russia rallying behind them in a bid to challenge US and NATO's economic and millitary supremacy. Do you believe that NATO members will allow this to happen?

1) If so, what's the point of the rest of the constitution? Isn't it just redundant?

2) If Bush decides that warrant-less searches, state-sponsored religion, and corporate welfare is good for the "general welfare," doesn't that mean he's working within the constitution?

3) Does a constitutionally limited republic mean anything to you, or should we lose rights every time a slick conman can convince a slim majority of voters?

In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore's classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.

For all of Gore's later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects.

WASHINGTON – President Bush is ready to veto a contentious hate
crimes bill that was attached last week to a massive defense spending bill,
said the White House on Tuesday.

The Senate had attached the hate crimes legislation to the
high-priority defense spending bill – which includes funding for the Iraq War –
in a political maneuver to pressure Bush to pass the amendment.

However, the White House said Bush will not sign the hate crimes bill
into law.

“The president has said overwhelmingly that these are two separate
issues – that they should not be combined; and the president has
reiterated his commitment to vetoing the hate crimes provision,” said White
House spokesman

How does two items like this get tied together, it seems like a forced agenda to me what do you think?
The hate crime bill is not what you would consider a beating but a disagreement on life styles (Homosexuals)
Y do U being diffrent have to change us or go to jail?

to confuse people into thinking global warming on Earth is due to he sun... when the article they posted says nothing about it?

This article that some con posted says nothing about the sun warming Jupiter. It says Jupiter is moving on its 70 year cycle, meaning it is getting "warmer near the equator and cooler at the poles."

Just think about it: Some of this week’s awards from the Nobel Committee went to people who must seem like the anti Christ to our pretentiously pious President, George W. Bush. For starters, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to Mario R. Capecchi, Martin J. Evans and Oliver Smithies who were recognized for a series of ground-breaking discoveries concerning embryonic stem cells! OH MY GAWD!

And, of course, this morning, the darkest of dark news descended on the White House when Bush’s nemesis Al Gore shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change! ARMAGEDDON IS SURELY UPON US!

Okay, fair is fair. If we applaud one side, let’s give the other a nod as well. After all, we now live in a country in which war is peace and Fascism is democracy, good is evil and up is down. Nothing is as is was and nothing at all is as it should be. So why not enter the looking glass reality of George W. Bush and acknowledge what he has managed to ‘accomplish’ in so short a time?

If the answer is Yes, are you an idiot or something? I`m no fan of this administration, but saying that the President of the United States caused the death of 3,000 innocent Americans in a terriost act is ridicioulus. You conspiracy hampters should not have the privelege of calling yourselfs Americans.

-The idiot Bush for pushing so hard for war.
-The idiot US Congress for being too scared not to vote in favor of it.
- Or the idiot American people for giving their full support for it in 2003.

Personally I think they all need to take a good look in the mirror & ask why they all are the biggest bunch of ignorant hypocrites on the planet (& they wonder why so many around the world can't stand them).

Just like they complain about the "liberal media", the "revisionist historians" (meaning real historians not fake neo-confederate historians), "activist judges", "liberal academia", "communist professors", and "liberal teachers"?

Seems to me they have to come up with some slogan everytime the facts don't turn up their way.
