    McCain offers union crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona

    I'm starting to think maybe Bush was correct in 2000 when he questioned McCain's sanity. $50/ hour? Uh yeah, I'd do it. What the hell - Americans don't mind hard work, it's all about the benjamins. Nobody wants to work their ass off and not ascend the poverty line. I don't know which is...

    So, what should we do with Iraq at this point?

    All the arguing about reasons for starting this war are somewhat moot. They serve a purpose in that maybe we can learn something for the future, but don't really do anything positive about the current predicament. So what are some ideas about what we should do now? Withdraw? Apologize to the...

    Bush embarrasses himself and USA again...

    Bush on Pakistan: The leader of the free world doesn't realize that Pakistan is NEITHER free or Arab. And if Pakistan does ever (not likely) become democratic, they will vote in pretty hardline Islamists - not at all likely to be our "stedfast partner". This is basic geography. I'd think...

    Bush supporters need to explain this one

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,185347,00.html Gardenweasel mentioned it before, now it's closer than ever to happen. 6 major ports (including one in NY) have been approved to be sold to an Arab company by the Bush administration. Does this run counter to the war on terror? Does this...

    Incredible new Pete Rose revelations

    Anybody hear this stuff today? Impromptu interview with that sidekick guy of his (some Italian name) on 'Wise Guys' radio show today and he spilled some major beans. Pete Rose trafficked and sold huge quantities of cocaine to pay off gambling debts. He was a very heavy user of...

    Jackasses with their high-beams always on!

    Is it just me noticing this, or are there more assholes than ever who drive the highways with high-beams on all the time - whether people are ahead of them, behind them, or coming straight at them. Just made my 6 hour route through the desert complete bullshlt. I remember 15 years ago as a...

    You know you're drunk when.....

    ....you hit your remote unlock button on your keychain to allow access to your car and proceed to attempt to turn the knob on the front door of your house. That's what I just did. ....Admittedly I've done far worse (or better, depending on your standards) when drunk, but it makes me...

    Manson's spamming is out of control

    Would you please confine your argument to one thread instead of breaking it into so many repetitive ones? It's really making this place a cluttered mess. Thank you in advance for not quoting John Kerry from 1977 as part in a separate thread in response to this request. :)

    I agree with the Republicans

    That we should not establish a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq. I think the most important thing to do is be as thorough and complete as possible. We will know when it's time when it gets there. Impossible to know how long that will take ahead of time. We owe it to the troops and Iraqis to...
