Well, if the President pulled the trigger on the draft, and the current rules stand, after 196 days the selective service will deliver the first inductees to boot camp.

A lottery is held, with 20 year old males selected first, based on days that are picked at random. Say, June 4 is picked, all males born on that date in 1986 are the first ones selected to enter the process. The picks go on for each 365 days for each year.

When the 20 year old are exhausted, it goes to 21 years, then 22, and so on to 25. Then 19 then 18 year olds.

Actually, on Weekends, Fox is the only station of the three that stays with live coverage during the whole day...until evening..and even then, a few shows are live.

There is never really a reason to watch CNN or MSNBC on the weekends.

Whenever I see Bolton I keep thinking something is missing...like a shotgun and a sheriff's badge.

"However, we he, or someone else that said that Bush should leave there and go to Jerusalem??"

That was the very odious and foreign policy dunce, known as Bill Kristol.

'I hate it when he interrupts as he jump in!'

From what Sean has said, the producer allows each of them a set amount of time to talk/respond to each guest. I can't help but wonder how any one can really believe what Alan says - even him!

PMSNBC is back to interviewing gang-bangers and neo-nazi skinheads in prison and after that, it's all pervs and pedophiles!

Switched over to Military channel.

The press was way too eager to jump all over him. I was in high school, and I was just starting to become wise to the media having an agenda.

For me it was the contrast between Carter and Reagan. I was older than high school but it really was a New Morning in America.

A Lebanese citizen ran under a damaged bridge in the suburbs of Beirut.

1 of 7 Lebanese police officers inspected a car that was hit early Friday morning on the road that leads to Syria.

The President of the United States does not institute the draft.

Congress introduces legislation that is then voted on, sent to the senate, etc.

Yes, but on the GOOD NEWS front. Tomorrow morning will be the first morning in literally YEARS, without Julian Phillips on F & F.
