Oh yeah, they don't. I guess I was trying to point out the same environment of fear that allowed the Patriot Act has also contributed to her situation. I just think the government bullying people is stupid and sets a dangerous precedent. No?

Ahh, how those exact same questions popped into my head. The decision was made to dismantle them after they were deconsecrated, then at the last minute (midnight 2 nights ago, actually), too many members of the Knesset said they couldn't bear the thought of okaying the destruction of a synagogue. If it was a ploy by Sharon, that's even more pernicious than I would have given him credit for. I can guarantee you that if the Israelis had set fire to a mosque, even a deconsecrated and vacated one, the world reaction would have likely been vocal, to say the least. Now we have images of Palestinians celebrating the destruction of a Jewish house of worship, which won't help in any way with what little of the "peace process" there is. Just today in Haaretz (Israeli paper) a columnist wrote that their actions just prove that they're evading responsibility of being an "enlightened nation" More fuel on the fire. It was probably a political ploy on both sides. Palestinian leaders can put their hands up and say "There was nothing we could do", letting Gazans vent their (understandable) anger while hatemongers on the Israeli side can use this as "proof" that they're animals. Sucks. The Israelis should have done it themselves. this looks bad on everyone.

So anybody else experience a little knot in the pit of their stomach at the sight of Palestinians cheering and dancing on top of burning synagogues in Gaza? Doesn't really have "Peace Treaty" stamped on it. And no I'm not defending Sharon and his brutal policies. It was just a fucked up thing to see.

And Judith Miller is still in prison. For a story she never wrote. GO PARTIOT ACT!!

I agree with this sarcastic, yet altogether accurate asessment. Reminds me of a a guy I used to work for that moved to Mexico in 1966 out of fear of unrest in the U.S. He moved back in 1973. When I asked him one time why he moved back, he said: "Because I realized that the revolution had been co-opted by television" Funny, but kind of true.

My Faaavorite number!

Uhh, I'm guessing a Kodak of some sort.

Here's picture I took of crater lake!

I fucked a French girl when I lived in Israel! She kept calling me "The Prince of love" What.Ever.

Anybody else seen this yet? Crazy shit. Katrina Journal

Because that's all we're allowed to say!

One time climbing some shitty basalt out in southern Oregon a snaffle chewed my spark plug wires up.

FREAKS

One time in the Adirondacks my little brother and I were camping, and I wake up in the middle of the night and I hear my brother eating Doritos. Turns out it was a raccoon scarfing them down. Sounded just like a human. I mean it was taking it's time to eat them and lounging on the picnic table. Weird fucking animals.

Bush is a fucking asshole. Yeah, I hear people bitching about the local democratic-affiliated officials having some of the blame, but that in no way lets his fucking ass off the hook. The whole way he's handled the response is sickening. From his imperialist flyover on his way back from vacation to his idiotic comments about looters, and his incredibly poorly timed comments about how he's looking forward to sitting on the porch of Tom DeLay's new house all reek of somebody who has never had to work a day in his life (or connect wih real people that have to work for a living). He fucking blows. He lied to us about Iraq, Osama's still free (if he's alive), and we've got corpses of people still floating in the flooded streets down south. Even our pussy whipped media got in there before any meaningful response could be started. How the fuck does that work? The state our country is in right now is very hard to get my brain around. Partisan bickering has reduced most people to finger pointing and inaction. It's fucking disgusting. Bush and all his mean spirited hate mongers need to go. Then to put a cherry on all of it, his mom made those tasteless comments about people in the Astrodome: "It's working very well for them" You know it's bad when you see fucking PAUL SIMON administering assistance at the N.O. airport. That's gotta be one of the signs of the apocalypse. Sickening. Back to your scheduled juvenile sprayfest.

Apparently Satan did our plumbing as well. I'll be washing my hands in warm water, then a woman's toilet will flush somewhere in the same area code, and the water gets hot enough to hard boil an egg. How the fuck are the womens toilets in any remote way connected to the mens faucets?!

I swear the toilet paper dispensers here were designed by Satan. I reach for some and I get a ripped piece of toilet paper and confetti on the floor. Of course after that I start digginf for another piece and I can't find the end of the roll. Grrr.....

WTF?!! DAMN!

I trust him. Just take 09/11 as an example. He gave George Tenet the Medal of Freedom!

Hmm, if I didn't know any better, I'd hazard a guess that maybe most of the Bush clan are a bunch of elitist, racist pigs.

Don't mention John Stewart to me or I'm going to be forced to get cable!

Nah, we didn't get there first because we were too busy blaming it on "the poor people". Or as Barbara Bush would say: "The underpriveleged"

Gorillaz TV on the radio And Tubeway Army. Old, I know, but new to me.

Geez, I feel bad for him having to think and stuff. Maybe he could take in a Broadway play with Ms. Rice, or maybe he should go mountain biking in that closed to the public wildlife refuge he's fond of poaching the trails in. I just hope that the possibly worst disaster in our history didn't ruin his annual end of summer vacation to the ranch he bought when he was governor.
