  1. China would love this kind of action time and again. The US does the dirty work, China swoops in to claim the spoils.
  2. The reasons for the invasion were 1. Personal Bush family grudge against Hussein 2. Oil 3. No-bid contracts doled out to connected firms (security, construction, weapons manufacturers, and on and on) 4. Pressure from the Israel lobby
  3. Zappa was out of his mind, love it. I saw him at the Orpheum in Boston in 1988. You could hardly see the stage from the weed smoke. Sounded good though.
  4. I would've loved to see this run it's course-
  5. It's because much of it is agreeable to the Republicans (The weakening of civil liberties, drones, Wall St. bailouts, medical marijuana prosecution)
  6. Bush was out of his depth in foreign policy, so he brought in his old man's trusted buddies to craft their plans. The invasion of Iraq was something the neocons had wanted for years, and with Bush in the White House, and Cheney and Rumsfeld at the helm, they got what they wanted. It was all business. It was Halliburton, it was Raytheon, all the firms that needed to feed at the war trough.
  7. Women who pay by check in the speed aisle at the grocery store
  8. Is that the real bleak movie set in Missouri, meth dealers, etc.?
  9. Ben Affleck is simply a terrible actor, that role would have been much better if it went to someone like John Turturro.
  10. He's just smart enough to skate by. If you watch the debates with John Kerry, Bush more than held his own, surprisingly.
  11. I've gotten hooked on peanut butter and honey sandwiches on toasted sourdough. Washed back with (soft) cider, it's so good.
  12. Bush was just a puppet. Perhaps the most obvious puppet president we've ever had. Cheney was the boss.
  13. Yep, paying to kill yourself. The price was a big reason I quit when I did. And when I quit they were about $5/pack. Now they're $9/pack
  14. Yeah, pretty shocking lack of personal ethics, lol
  15. Big man flashing some skills:
  16. Granderson out 10 weeks with a broken arm. Considering all he brings to the table is power, his value this year is negligible, cuz his power numbers will surely drop coming off a broken arm. Shame it wasn't an asshole like A-Rod.
  17. Ugh, I've come down with my first cold of the season. I'm a total wimp when I get colds, I just want to hide under the covers for a week.
