What could be more obvious: Linky Thing

A lot of people are screaming for change, but when it comes down to it they may be more afraid of the impending change than they are of staying the course.

my precinct Hillary 17; Obama 24

While I was trying to find mine (only because my daughters ski lesson got cancelled....AGAIN!) I got a phone call from the Obama headquarters urging me to attend my caucus. They were able to tell me where mine is.

PP, WTF? Some rumor you starting? I'm assuming your talking Hideki and not Kaz Matsui? If Griffey has grown up since he bailed on Seattle I'd welcome him back. We have a decent set of outfielders, but we could sure use a good left handed bat.

well no shit! look how they are villified on the interwebs thing! if they can cut access no one can make fun of their squidly existence!

No tie between Rush & McCain. Rush has long touted the theory that Billary runs the demorcatic party. Hopefully, the people of this nation and not a political party will determine the outcome of this election. Truth be know, at this point I'm pulling for McCain. Still too early to tell though.

and that has what to do with an individual apparently not liking what I said?

got a problem with free speech?

Fact? Fact that you and fat boy conservative pill popper douche bag blow hard are equally wrong?

Wow, do you and Rush Limbaugh have the same writer?

Gary, This post was made from a mac and you probably can't even tell the difference. The cool factor alone should convince you to go Mac. Do it, you will never regret it!

I sent my sinuses to Arizona I sent my lungs to Peru I sent my liver and my kidney For the summer in Sydney But I'm sending my heart to you!

That crag was created when Chuck Norris gave a roundhouse kick to the side of Cougar Mountain.

I gave up that freaky stuff. The costumes and batteries were getting too expensive.

So does anyone here think that Blackwater is being made a sacrificial lamb of sorts? Fundamentally, I have no problem with a company like Blackwater existing and playing a role in a conflict where the U.S. has plenty of citizens around. In many cases it probably makes sense for guard details (e.g. strictly defensive) to be outsourced to a company that has the caliber of personnel they do. Even if every now and then one of them goes off an gets trigger happy, how are we who are sitting here in the comforts of our own homes spraying away on cc.com going to adequately judge whether or not them firing their weapons was really provoked? I mean shit, you can't depend on reliable witnesses in that culture; and in the environment they are in every moving vehicle is a potential offensive threat. To me the issue about a company like that being there is that they may be there a little pre-maturely. As long as there is still a military operation in effect, only the military should be there performing that mission. I'm sure there are a hundred arguments against that out there, but hey it's just my opinion. One item of interest, and I hate to drag this into a partisan debate (like it's not already), but go to the Fox News website. Not one mention of the Iraq War/Conflict. Not one mention of Blackwater. Go to CNN.com. 3 mentions of it, including the headline story. Now I know I'm labled as a flaming liberal tug job because I hate GW and I'm against THIS war, but I gotta tell you, I don't get fair and/or balanced from either of those sources.

needless to say, NSFW

Shit. 7 years of my life down the drain Thanks guys

how about a big "i don't give a flying corner fuck"

Sad news, bad ending.

This kind of gets back to the liability question I asked about. Is BW under contract to the US Government, or are they licensed to work there privately undersponsorship of the US Gov? I suspect maybe a combo of both? Do they protect both diplomats and and civilian VIP's/contractors? If working under US Govt' contracts there would normally be some level of protection for BW under whatever SOFA agreement existed between us and Iraq, though you make it sound as though that is non-existent. That is of course if they are performing an adjunct mission to the US Forces. If they are working under contract to civilian contractor or other non US Govt' entity under sponsorship then there may be some provisos in the license that cover them in certain circumstances.

Jesus, the H1 Hummer of jack knives. If you can't find something to pick your teeth with on this thing, well let's just say it is you.
