If he'd been doing this while he was serving in Congress, he'd have been an American hero funding "freedom-fighters": http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080116/ap_on_go_co/ex_congressman_indicted

Simply fascinating that the pages of the Economist need to rely on the crude, outdated economic theory of utilitarianism to justify what is evident to all as gross economic and political inequalities leading to profoundly undemocratic social outcomes. This is some college intern's 21st Century equivalent of "let them eat cake". Resident utopian and CC.com's version of Dr. Pangloss again trying to dazzle us with the miracle of meat refrigeration while the powdered wigs are laughing their asses all the way to the bank.

That's a mushroom cloud? I thought it was either a boil on FW's ass or an electron microscope photograph of a herpes sore.

I would urge any Christians still posting to this thread to consider the possibility that the only reason they are doing so is their own sinful pride.

Actually, it's your chosen after-life that's at issue.

Kin I join y'alls climbin' expedishin?

My two cents: Airing dirty laundry by naming names is a good thing. Don't let trainers, scouts, GMs, owners, sportswriters off the hook. Let the records stand, but don't vote known juicers into the Hall of Fame. Test the hell out of players with the strongest guidelines available. Publicly shame and suspend first-time positive testers for the season. Go after "greenies" next. End corporate welfare for building ballparks. Move the Marlins to Portland under new ownership. Put Pete Rose in the Hall where he belongs.

Oh well.

This is gonna sting a little, but it's good for you. I would expect to see some M's on the list.

Whoa! Stop the presses, man. Are you trying to say that these politicians have flip-flopped on this issue? That they're some kind of...FLIP-FLOPPERS?! I am astonished. I suggest you start a blog.

Six years of Bush's Reverse King Midas Syndrome, where everything he touches turns to shit, has been enough to change even hardcore Republicans' minds about Administration policies and their motivation.

Depravation: de·prave (d-prv) tr.v. de·praved, de·prav·ing, de·praves To debase, especially morally; corrupt. See Synonyms at corrupt. [Middle English depraven, to corrupt, from Old French depraver, from Latin dprvre : d-, de- + prvus, crooked.] depra·vation (dpr-vshn) n. You were more right than you knew, huh?

Are you trying to tell me that one year after September 11, Democrats and Republicans were in some kind of lockstep on the "global war on terror"?! I am astounded.

Could Israel "force" the US's hand? The difference being that cooler heads presided in '91.

Sorry Fairweather. That's AFP: "Agence France-Presse, the oldest news agency in the world, and one of the three largest with Associated Press and Reuters. It is also the largest French news agency. AFP is based in Paris, with regional centres in Washington, Hong Kong, Nicosia, and Montevideo and bureaus in 110 countries. It transmits news in French, English, Arabic, Spanish, German, and Portuguese."--from Wikipedia The Wikipedia article on the American Free Press is quite interesting though. It'll make good reading for anyone thinking of supporting Ron Paul.

Heeey, are you guys working together on this on some other message board we don't know about?

From AFP 12/4/07 I wonder what the carbon footprint of one of these people's Bichon Frises is.

If they wanted to really go green and reduce the "capita" portion of the resource consumption equations, collectivizing agriculture is clearly the way to go. It has no equal in that regard. Just ask the Ukrainians, Chinese, and North Koreans. KK Found! He's talking out of Jay_B's ass!

Hey Jay, why don't you lobby to have divorce quotas bundled in with your highly successful structural adjustment programs for developing countries. What a way to boost consumption!

Evel Knievel was 69. That's cool. I bet Chuck Norris will die at the same age.
