AAA, I have to admit to knowing practically nothing about Charles Schumer. Why is he an "asshole"? As for Anita Hill, her competency as a lawyer, or her "cashing in" on the speaking tour really isn't relevant to what happened during the Thomas confirmation hearings. Can there be any doubt...

OK, I guess we just disagree. Different perspectives. I can't seem to be so sure about things along such rigid guidelines. On some issues, I guess I am right of center. On some, left. I think you know that. Clearly I have defended conservatives and conservative issues as well as liberals and...

HUH? Why can't it just be that there is "right and wrong"? Why does everything need to be politicized? Anita Hill stood to gain what? Robert Bork was not an extremist? John Tower was not an influence peddler? (Clarence Thomas is not scary?). Facts don't matter. Conservatives are good...

Gotta go with you here. AAA, who I disagree with generally, but respect anyway, has gone overboard once again (I have faith he will come back to earth soon). AAA.....I don't even know if I should take your post seriously. Are things REALLY that black and white in your world?? Either I...

While I disagree with much of the way our foreign policy has been handled by the Bush administration, I do not disagree with this statement. Throughout history, ethnic groups have been used as scapegoats to promote hatred among the weak minded masses, and to create a common "enemy" among...

What does this statement mean? Are you Spiro Agnew reincarnated? "America..love it or leave it"? Change comes from within. Not running away. Your statement is as un-American as can be. What is frightening is that you don't understand that. Hey, Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. I suggest you...

Who knows? Maybe Harry is just another Don Bright alias:) Anything is possible. But certainly he does tend to start threads based on pretty off the wall subjects. My guess is that Harry uses ET for two purposes. To work on his English skills, which are pretty good, but clearly he is never...

Pretty much as I would have expected...so far the poll shows that less than a third of the Americans smoke, while a majority of non- Americans smoke. I am actually a little surprised that the percentage of Americans that smoke is as high as it seems by the limited sampling of the poll. Maybe...

Come on Harry...."pile of emptiness"? All I said is that just because you see or hear something on television, that does not make it true. The theory that the moon landing was staged has more holes in it than all the cheese in Switzerland. As was shown, if you looked at the links I posted...

"Dose"? Maybe that explains your thinking. What is your dose? This is not the first time you have misused such complex single syllable words. Maybe a bit of education would temper your willingness to "kill everyone who hates us". Peace? RS

OH!!! Well CABLE....why didn't you say so sooner. That changes everything. :confused: And what makes you believe I didn't "land from the Moon"? Certainly that is no less reasonable than most of your other very clearly explained facts, theories, and delusions. Et tandis que votre...

Of course we have seen this quote by Goering hundreds of times in the past two years. And it does indeed seem apropos to our nation's strategy now. Witness the arguments that went on right here in the ET forums just prior to our invasion of Iraq. To me, the most outstanding example of what is...

I would say Harry has fallen out of his tree. But I don't think he was ever up there to start. Anyone ever see the movie "Capricorn One"? Obviously Harry was watching it in a state of semi-consciousness. Put it together with the 18 missing minutes of Nixon's Watergate tapes. And this is...

My advice is if you are willing to risk more than your max possible gain, look at some other strategies. Without getting into an explanation, (do your own homework), think about "back spreads". You can do them for little outlay (margin) if you work out your ratios carefully. Possibly start...

Is this for real? It seems impossible ANYONE would not remember where they were. I was a whole lot younger ...17...I remember where I was vividly. Which is what everyone says. Same for the generation before, who heard about Pearl Harbor. Same for today's generation with the attacks on the...

Seems like a lot of people try and cut back like you. Had gone through periods like that myself. Seems silly looking back now. There were many years in my life I smoked about two packs a day. Youth is amazing. I would drink all night, smoke day and night, and ski four days a week for 6 or so...

Mafia....sponsored with the money of the exiled Cubans. The Mafia lost their gambling business in Cuba, so they were pissed. The CIA was supposed to help the Cubans oust Castro. The Mafia and the exiled Cubans collaborated. JFK was hated by the Cubans for failing to support the...

I was watching the PBS program hosted by Jane Pauly about the news coverage of the JFK assasination. It seemed so weird now seeing the video tape of reporters on TV doing the coverage live on the air while smoking. Don't have to go back 40 years though to remember when all airplanes seats...

Way to go Aphie....maybe your funniest post yet. Love the allusion to "Fight Club". In a similar vein, what's with you picking on GG all the time? Lighten up. Me and Max earned our rights to be cranky assholes with life experience. You guys are too young. GG is OK...he just needs to stop...

You are an obvious student of history LOL!!! You think a 7 point lead over a candidate that hasn't even been nominated is big??? Almost too funny to address. What were Bush Senior's poll numbers a year before the 1992 election? Did he win? Here is my prediction. Not as sophisticated...
