  • Vanity: John Cougar's "Our Country" Chevy Commercial

    Anyone else peeved as I am at this nonsense? I am assuming it is a patriotic song. The images you see during this commercial are Vietnam War protestors, the peace sign, Nixon waving goodbye before he gets on his helicopter, and Katrina flooding. What a depressing commercial. Kind of defeatist if you ask me. Thoughts?

    Recent unsettling revelations would indicate that, more and more, the US Chamber of Commerce is working for foreign nationals and corporations. Big business has been sending American jobs to other nations for a long time. Our current Congress has tried several measures to stop the bleeding and to bring some of those jobs back to Americans.

    Sen. Jim Webb has dispelled any lingering mystery about it: The pistol involved in the arrest of a top Webb aide was the senator's. "It's my gun," Webb, D-Va., acknowledged in an interview last week. Webb declined again to talk about whether he complies with the District of Columbia handgun ban. Almost six months into his first term, the writer, lawyer and Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam War combat agreed to an interview that touched an array of topics. They ranged from the gun episode, Iraq and presidential politics. Webb disclosed he was invited to the White House on Wednesday...
  • Webb to Introduce Legislation Barring Funding For Military Action Against Iran

    Webb to Introduce Legislation Barring Funding For Military Action Against Iran Monday , March 05, 2007 WASHINGTON — A Democratic senator is introducing legislation Monday that would deny funding for the Bush administration to take military action against Iran without getting congressional approval first. Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., has long argued that Iran must be part of a regional solution to end the war in Iraq, and has repeatedly concerns that the Bush administration deems the 2002 congressional resolution authorizing force in Iraq applicable to Iran. Webb's amendment would prohibit Bush from spending any money on a "unilateral military action...

    What I do not understand is why you all need to "freep" Disney in order to try and stop Moore's video about the connection between Bush and bin Laden. If the video and Moore are such a joke and full of lies like you say, then why are you all so nervous about its release? And what difference does it make if it is to be released just prior to the election if Bush and his cronies have nothing to hide? My only complaint about Moore's video is that it is not covering the right topic. It should be a...
