Terry Pratchett - I'll check next time I'm at the library. And I never did think that Harry Potter books were witchcraft manuals!
HHGttG was a cheap load of poop.
Obviously you are under 40. Sheesh! Kids these days!
Thank you for sharing that. A dose of perspective is always good. (And, of course, I'm sorry for your family's loss)
My brother is battling blood cancer himself, and he's terribly frustrated with his doctors at Sloan-Kettering. I guess it's rubbing off on the whole family.
I'm signing off for the night but want to go on record as diagreeing with this. I think the Senate is going to make it happen.
I do.
I understand the reasoning in saying that it won't, but I don't think so. I think the American people can separate out the issues and dems will be too ham-handed.
We'll see.
On that optimisitc note, I'll say good night.
inflation?
Thank you for your condolences...
Sorry to hear about your brother...when one is battling cancer, frustration and anger, fear and sadness, which come from the diagnosis and the treatment, can often appear , disappear and reappear mixed in with happiness at remission...its an up and down roller coaster, which leaves families, often frazzled...and yet families trudge on, what else can they do?...
Cancer wreaks havoc on families, that is for sure...
Boy, are you wrong. I ain't no kid.
I know you have retired, but that theory sounds tin foil to me. I did read a theory that the lawyer deliberately was loathe to use the substantive due process argument, because that is beyond the pale for the religious right, and Scalia types and lots of other types. That contention strikes me as lacking elegance. The more elegant explanation, is that with the press of time, the lawyer just F'ed up, and hadn't planned ahead adequately. The use of the word "parasites" is unnecessary in my view also.

No ideas, no useful diaglog, no solutions = Democrats?
"The thread itself is an invitation to a food fight,"
Seems to me it's an invitation for discussion.
Whether it's a fight or argument or something useful is up to the reader. Where do you stand?
Well you might look into obtaining a sense of humor.
on CNN breaking news that the Schindlers have filed a petition en banc to the 11th and it was accepted, they will review the petition (all 12 judges),
Let's see ... over and over, claims by the Schindler crowd have proven to be false... Occam's Razor tells me that the swallowing test stuff is probably not an error or coverup in the Wolfson Report.
Odd they waited an extra three days, or whatever. I assume this is the petition they chose not to file after the 3 judge panel rejected the second appeal on the ruling based on the amended complaint. Insane really.
Very.
Could it be about their claim that she is being denied communion?
No. :) And I am just assuming what I said, based on what I recall. It seems to be some play for more publicity. It seems highly unlikely that Terri will be alive to "see" what the en banc court does. What are the odds that the en banc court will reverse the 3 judge panel, knowing that their reversal ruling will be moot, and just enrage the public square some more? Close to absolute zero is my guess.
It's to reinsert; they are claiming the 11th erred, according to MSNBC.
Parents saying they need to look at de novo? That's what Dan Abrams is saying on MSNBC. Abrams says the 11th is saying they deserve to be heard? Why didn't they address this before?
MY parents were democrats, an just loved Jimmy Carter. I had an uncle who defected to Cuba, and used to send us all kinds of socialist crap. Then along came Reagan, and I became a Reaganite in my early teens...
If Reagan hadn't come along back then, I probably would have been a liberal for a bit there... I guess I just got lucky ;0)
