Depends on whether it is pumped or gravity.

If it's pumped, the problem would have more gravity; if it's gravity, the problem would have less gravity. This post has no gravitas.

I know. I thought he was fired.

Wilkinson is saying that the cleric's fatwah has already been issued.

[Howlin]

Not him. That was Peter Arnett.

Doctor Bob Arnot is a very good reporter, IMO.

Your post about Barney reminded me about 10 years ago I fainted, cut my head had to go to the emergency room to get sewn up. (I'm incredibly clumsy) In the next bed was a baby who kept screaming and parents couldn't figure out why and the doctors couldn't figure out why so they sang that "I love you, you love me" song and no joke, the baby calmed down.

PLUS, when I was little my parents convinced me that Santas Village (Christmas themed amusment park in the Chicago area) wasn't real even though commercials ran for it constantly.

When I was a child, we lived on a small lake. The washing machine drained directly into the lake, leaving dirty suds. My mom told us kids it was "snake spit." We never played in the dirty suds!

Reporters (not all, but most) have shown themselves to be the total nitwits they are. Do they have no common sense or do they just like the sound of their own voices? (Rhetorical question, BTW!)

[SoldiersGirl]

after last night, Dr. Bob moves up in rank to awesome reporter

[prairiebreeze]

Somehow I lost the thread of the conversation that you are referring to, but IMO you may be correct.

Jim Wilkinson saying yet again that Saddam's special forces will NOT have a "place at the table" in a new Iraq.

I'd say that those left in Baghdad better have their wills in order.

[gop212]

A-HA! Slight confusion on my part. Thanks for clearly that up.

[B4Ranch]

I think the next song will be "The lights are on for freedom, let's party"

[Carolina]

Sky saying lots of reports of dead Iraqis around airport.

Well, it couldn't have been our guys responsible, cuz they kept saying all morning that there's no sign of the coalition.

Howlin, I barely caught the last question....trying to get most of the great Rummy rant down (I love it that he reminds the reporters of their great successes...HINT, STUPID REPORTERS)..

Sorry...what did they say? It's clear Rummy and Myers are pals. Did you see Rummy's face on Tues. when Myers told off the press? The camera panned back and caught Rummy looking down - and what a smile! He enjoyed that immensely. (^:

[Howlin]

As he was leaving the podium, some dimwit shouted out "How are you and Powell getting along these days."

He gave them such a look.

[pitinkie]

And the people of Iraq will NOT be better of without Sadaam!! Then goes on to plug his "Prisoners against rape" website! Which I think is terrible. Rape I mean.

[Howlin]

Right. Beret Boy said we're 100 miles from Baghdad. Yet more death and carnage by Saddam.

[Air Force Born]

Of course Santa's Village was a scam. I saw the Real Santa in North Pole, Alaska

[valleygal]

I want video tape of the Iraqi's lining the streets, yelling "George Bush, George Bush."

Then I want Dennis Miller to host the Oscars next year and play the video clip...I know in my dreams, but it sure would be great!

Our Soldiers were singing "Homeward Bound" as they were approaching Baghdad yesterday, according to one reporter.
