...or a fine cigar, even!

That's the connection only a good attorney can make. Rather that a full trial, perhaps you should just settle $$$.

Geeeeeez. It's not like he spooged all over some poor interns dress all-the-while championing the rights of working women or somethin' like that! I thought sex was a private matter.

lawyers are barely one notch above child molesters unless they are also politicians, then they fall two notches down. so if craig is a politician and child molester how does that rank with your standard ambulance chaser? i'm getting confused here. Craig is a child molester? I haven't heard that. Maybe someone should hire a lawyer to sue you for making such outrageous accusations on an internet bulletin board. Feed the lawyers!

Because, on the whole, the American public still does. So the Dem-o-crat party has to pretend, or at least lie low in order to win elections.

Fucking Lawyer. You're part of the problem.

or Sister Mercy's wooden ruler across his knuckles. Or Ms. Latornuea's soft, yet firm hand across his bare...

...or Mrs. Knipher's tennis shoe against the side of his whithered melon.

Obviously you're too young to remember how it used to be, Junior.

This has nothing to do with schools. I doubt this girl has spent much time in a classroom. Teachers have little control over the education of kids who don't show up for school. I used to work as a high school teacher and the dumbest kids were those who never showed up. They were the ones whose parents didn't care when you called them to find out why their kid didn't show up. Or they were the ones who were disruptive and caused other kids to have a less than a satisfactory experience. Families who don't support their children in their educational endeavors are likely to have kids that have the level of critical thinking that Miss South Carolina appears to have. You'd be suprised at how big a deal attendance is at the average school. Should teachers be penalized for the grades of students who only show up every once in awhile and don't even pretend to try when they do show up? Jason ABSOFUCKINLUTELY! If your dentist advises your children to brush and floss routinely, but you don't follow through by monitoring their brushing routines, do you think your dentist deserves a demotion and decreased salary when your kids develop tooth decay? Oprah was recently criticized for opening schools for girls in S. Africa. Critics asked, "Don't American children need your help?" She replied that U.S. children care far more about i-pods and Nike shoes than education, after which she received even more criticism. I think she's correct. And we can mostly blame an F'ed up culture that doesn't value raising responsible children. I hear you, Pope. And we've had this conversation before. But how much you want to bet that beauty queen is sitting on a 3.5 or higher? And if she is, then that does mean someone - in addition to her parents - isn't upholding the social contract. NEA and their state satellites are partly to blame, IMO, because their teacher compensation demands allow poor teachers - inclined toward allowing social promotion like this to happen - to earn as much as good teachers who deserve much, much more. I also agree that allowing teachers a free hand in discipline, physical if necessary, would go a long way toward the overall good.

Insulting the intellect of soldiers. That's classic, asshole.

You're the sick fuck watching underage girls parade around like livestock. I was just speculating on the reason so many kids in our country - like the young miss - can't resolve a simple question armed with what should be a basic knowledge set. With taxpayers shelling out between $7,000 - $11,000 per child, per year (depending on the state), is it too much to ask for results?

It may surprise no one that there was a day when I'd never think about expressing praise for John Ashcroft. But my mind is changed now, and I've something different to say. Today I say Ashcroft deserves a Medal of Freedom award for when he was hospitalized but still mustered the strength to tell Gonzales to go fuck himself. Damn near in a coma, yet approached by Gonzales to sign off on the latest conspiracy by the Bush Crime Family, Ashcroft refused. Now, while it's true the recent Senate hearings revealed that FBI agents were on the scene that day as specifically ordered to protect Ashcroft from manipulation by Gonzales, I still say Ashcroft deserves recognition for taking a stand for the Constitution instead of for the Boss. For me, there's a big difference between political differences and organized, political crimes. I've only pity and scorn for those here who apparently cannot see that difference, yet I'd gladly shake the hand of John Ashcroft any day. There, I said it. My comments were not related to Gonzales' supposed 'crimes', but to the very topic you addressed above. The fact that you, and those like you were part of the posse that drove Ashcroft from office (read his book) make you partly responsible for the subsequent outcome. "Careful what you wish for" comes to mind. And you and Matt still haven't answered my question about who the next pinata will be.

Remember when Ashcroft was the focus of Matt & Co's masturbatory angst? So who's gonna' be next on the lefty/lib hate flavor-of-the-week list? The suspense is killin' me!

Isn't that exactly what Crux is doing?

...the above little unbiased snippet brought to you by an idiot who drinks his KoolAid at huffingtonpost.com Thankyou.

You march with "World Can't Wait" and their American Communist Party sponsors and claim to love democracy? Interesting. If democracy isn't an ideal worthy of America, why the fuss about Iraq?

Damn you, Administrator! That was "R" rated in my world - and one of the best projections I've ever seen.

Sweden?!?! Can you show me where that is on this map? Sorry Fairweather, cc.com police can't have that stuff or cc.com will get blocked at the proxy and people will go nuts. /porter edit>

BMW bike with an Aprilla engine Had one. Wasnt impressed. Actually, I think it's a Rotax...like the ones on hang gliders. I do envy the way Foraker (not so) cleverly wove "look at my cool new toy" into a faux political/religious hate thread - but I don't envy the 28 inch inseam required to ride that scooter, or the Samsonite luggage he has attached to it.

We used to have those, but in this new age trials just help the terrorists. All we gotta do is say that Rove is an enemy noncombatant. So you're OK with Treetoad's idea?

Right. And in another thread you're claiming Christians (?) are still burning witches. The point is a liberal poster here suggesting we lynch a departing public official who hasn't even been charged with anything - much less convicted. The reason? Treetoad doesn't like his politics.

Bullshit. Mahar Arar was charged with and/or convicted of absolutely nothing prior to being shipped off to Syria So deportation is tantamount to punishment? Sounds to me like your gripe should be with Basher Assad. ...and non-uniformed enemy combatants are not.
