nope. not going for it. shift your gears. let's say you're walking down the street. someone offers you 10 grand to wait in a rented car outside a bank. the headline reads, "someone asks RAYBBR to drive getaway car in bank heist for a cut"

And you're gonna tell me you have no problem with that statement?

Why are you so adamant about defending Bush on this? No one is blaming him. The spoiled brats are asking him to take the land.

Why are you so adamant about defending Bush on this?

For the luvofPete, stay on-point. Because the headline implicates him by association. I pointed this out from the beginning, and people kept needling me about "well what DO you call it?" -- and I kept responding, "no, you're missing the point. can't you see what the media's doing with this?"...and I guess you don't...

It's a non-freaking issue, is the point, that the media is using as another excuse to cast aspersions upon every last vestige of the Bush presidency.

Huh? I didn't see it that way. I saw the BRATS asking Bush to do something. After reading the story I don't see where Bush is implicated at all.

If the headline had read "Bush to seize land..." then you would've had a point. Or, even "Bush may seize land...". But, not the way it's written.

Like I said, some people see BDS even when it's not there.

Probably for parking.

That you think that is the issue. You've been polarized like a steel wrench on a magnet.

No, unfortunately, trying to have a conversation with someone like you devolves one into a tool.

Thanks for taking FR to new lows.

Probably for parking.

For unsold GM vehicles, maybe???

At an average parking space size of 325 square feet (which includes the driving part of the lot, not just where the car sits) and 2,200 acres (about 96,000,000 ft², that means the site could hold about 295,000 cars.

Disneyland closes its doors at 60,000, so they aren't going to need that much parking.

This area is HUGE. It is becuase they want to grab the whole debris field.

What kind of people are these? Something does stink here.
