"that Shop = that Shep"

I like Shop better and thought you may be starting another word precedence. It may turn out to be Shrapped.

Conservatives always feel the need to "include the liberal view." And then of course said liberal view takes over entirely. My feeling is that the liberal view has forums enough; why give it another one?

Sellers has been steamed ALOT today with some of the idiots Fox has had on.

Because Fox employs quite a few idiots like Weasley Clark, Bill Kristol and now this Bevalaqua apologist.

It's pretty interesting what will make somebody come out and show their true stripes.

I am one of 6 students from Teaneck, New Jersey, who came to Israel for a three-week program from the UJA Federation of Bergen County to work in Nahariya in a day camp for Israelis, teaching them English. We were in Nahariya when the missiles started, and we heard the noises, and even witnessed a field that had been hit by a missile. We spent a total of about eight hours in a bomb shelter, four at night (Wednesday), and four again in the morning (Thursday), and were only then taken out when the roads were "safe enough" for a cab to take us. Where we are now is somewhat of a safer place, but we're still in the relative north. We constantly still hear the missiles hitting, and we see and hear the military planes and helicopters flying above. Initially we were going to be moved in Nazareth, but due to the escalating circumstances, our program has now been cancelled. Personally, I will still be staying in Israel until August 7 as previously planned, but I believe the rest of the kids on the program are being sent home. We're all hoping that the situation improves fast and that Israel and its people will no longer be in danger.

Don't worry, it's not you that went totally nuts.

I don't know that I would have believed it if I hadn't seen it live. I'm still just amazed. I guess it proves that you never really know about someone.

A barrage of Katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon late Sunday landed in the lower Galilee's Jezreel Valley for the first time.

Rockets landed in the city of Afula and the surrounding communities of Upper Nazareth, Migdal Ha'emek and Givat Ela at 11 P.M. At 50 kilometers inland from the northern border, this was the longest range rocket to hit Israel. There were no reports of injuries.

The Shi'ite guerilla group Hezbollah still has at its disposal a significant arsenal "of very many rockets of all kinds," Israel Air Force Commander Major General Elyezer Shkedy told reporters at a news briefing on Sunday.
