I answered that, read my quote, carefully!

Of course is for all of those things - we cannot afford to allow the vast majority of the world's oil to fall in the hands of terrorists. GWB and all serious Republicans never denied that. All of those reasons are valid. But the most important was the fear we all had of Sddam, the guy had to go...

The Democratic Party has tried hard to convince black Americans that they should remain together as a loyal Democratic block vote. Of course that's stupid because they lose their bargaining power. But, unfortunately, 90% of them believe that there's something to be gained in this way. It's their...

Do you mean that the Republicans need oil more than the Democrats? That's silly, we all need that commodity, the whole world does. That's why the Middle East is so important to all of us. Do you mean that the Democrats love peace more than the Republicans do? How about Vietnam? Bay of Pigs? Or...

You couldn't have found a more biased author working for a more liberal rag if you tried. The argument can be easily made that any economic "troubles" that we have (and I'm not sure they are real, other than normal business cycle fluctuations) began just after the Democrats took over...

Dole vs McCain There's a huge difference between these two men, in terms of character, personality and style. Dole was never known as a "rebel" or "independent" or even as a true "centrist." These are McCain's personal traits and major assetts this time around. I think the Republicans have...

Obama vs McCain Tough call, but I agree with the pundits who think that there's a higher probability that the Democrats with Obama will lose, rather than the Republicans with McCain will win it. Every week there's yet another Obama soft spot discovered and Hillary can't, or won't, use them to...

The little that I know about Chicago Tribune is that it is just about as liberal as the NY Times. Oh well. But, about the CIA, there was a time not so long ago that the American Government used that organization to run around our Congress and fund friendly exiled politicians around the world...

My problem with all this material is that, in our country, on any subject, you can find many authors supporting wildly opposing views and producing the most provocative writeups they can, as they desperately look for readers and notoriety. From alternative Bibles to UFOs, to man-frog DNA...

Open an account with Interactive Brokers - their simulator uses their excellent data and is very good. Btw, speaking of hypothetical trading, what if there were no hypothetical questions? :) :) :)

Wait Guys... Before we make too much of this, what's the chance that Ron Paul just pushed the wrong button on this one... He does look like the type of politician who would be prone to this type of mistake, doesn't he? :) :) :)

Excellent Observation “Now, that looks like a happily married couple!” remarks the husband. “Don’t be too sure, my Dear," smiles the wife, "they are probably saying the same thing about us...” :) :) :)

Flytiger posted this at the Jokes2 thread - I think it's pretty funny in a tragic sort of way and relevant to our discussion here: :) :) :)

I see your point and I agree, that's a better tack. It's only that these guys have been vocal for many years, and Tibet is such a well known place. I feel for them and don't trust their oppressors, that's all.

OBAMA'S WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS By DICK MORRIS Published on TheHill.com on April 8, 2008. The USA Today/Gallup Poll of late March suggests a strategy for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the general election. The poll compared Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and McCain on certain key variables...

A cousin of mine had to stay at home late that morning because his baby son (youngest of three) was very sick, and was one of the first ones that they didn't allow upstairs... and a friend of mine from church was one of the last ones to walk out of the burning buildings! I was at home ready to...

And, don't forget that an elite group of Yale graduates carefully removed all the "skulls and bones" buried under the towers, right? :)

That's crazy. The Dalai Lama has been speaking on non-violence, tolerance and reconciliation all his life. He came to present his ideas at UVA while I was a graduate student, the man is great, the Ghandi of our generation. Now, you guys quote the "secret texts" of somebody and the well known...

Maybe, but GWB is doing about 50% better according to most polls. Anyway, "all is fair in love and war" remember? Politics, my friend, is not love - must be the other thing :)

No need to bring Jesus into this. These folks are mostly Tibetan Buddhists who are fighting for independence from China and basic human rights for their compatriots. Although I disagree with some of their tactics (the Olympic games are meant to be an instrument for peace and reconciliation among...
