It's winter in Afghanistan, right? So, five degrees would be about right...

This was posted three weeks ago, but you somehow decided it was breaking news. It was stupid then, and it's just as stupid now.

Hmm... couldn't find it in search.
Yes, I agree that business ties to Saudi terrorism supporters are no reason why someone shouldn't head the 9/11 commision - I just posted this to illustrate the moral bankruptcy of the left.

This also leads to a direct connection between Jackie Stallone's psychic dogs and Osama bin Laden:
The Leon Hess family owns the NY Jets - Mark Gastineau used to play for the Jets - Gastineau's ex-wife Lisa used to date the Sylvester Stallone, son of the owner of the pyschic dogs.
Friggin' eerie.

Well, you know what happens when they find a hammer. Everything looks like a nail. Did you catch the profile?

I agree with dirtboy: this is not breaking news.
Especially in these troubled times, we need to keep breaking news for breaking news.

Sailing the British Virgin Islands for nine days with seven buddies.
I'm back, and I should be working, but I keep freeping.
Must stop now. Must do work.

Sailing the British Virgin Islands for nine days with seven buddies.I can just imagine.
Day One - load boat with beer and booze. Start drinking. Too drunk to sail, pass out.
Day Two - wake up hung over. Drink to alleviate pain. Too drunk to sail, pass out.
Day three. Out of beer. Get lost coming back from liquor store, by the time you get back to the boat, it's too late to sail, start drinking, pass out.
Day Four - finally set sail, start drinking, run aground, pass out.
Day Five - get boat pulled from sandbar, head back to dock for minor repairs, get more beer, start drinking, too late to set sail, pass out.
Day six - set sail, realize you have run out of limes, head to nearest port, get more booze as well as limes, start drinking, too late to leave, pass out.
Day seven - set sail, finally spend a night out in the open water.
Day eight - running low on beer, head back to port, get beer, drink, pass out.
Day nine - decide to blow off sailing for one day, get more beer.

Not far from the truth at all, except that we sailed to a new island every single day.
We drank and we drank, but when it came time to sail we were up and at 'em. If you were hungover, you had to throw up over the side and get back in the game.
We had a fifty-foot Beneteau. Got it going as fast as 10 knots on the open ocean, hungover and all. We had new beach bars to discover and pillage everyday. It was a mission.

Sounds like a great trip. Did you get sunburned pretty good? Any need to dip into the bail money?

It certainly was.
Did you get sunburned pretty good?
Not too bad. Im a total fairy regarding the sun, and put on sunblock even at night. (pasty white Irish boy)
Any need to dip into the bail money?
Fortunately no. As far as we could tell, there isnt a single cop in the BVI and to our knowledge, nothing was illegal. We tested this theory repeatedly. 8-)

It seems like they should have been able to find someone to head the 9/11 commision who didn't have any ties, business or otherwise, to one of the hijackers' funders.
But, most people are over 9/11 and not particularly suspicious of the Saudis anymore, so I guess your attitude is pretty understandable too.

- Your alleged ties, business or otherwise, to one of the hijackers' funders is ridiculously specious. Using your idiotic logic, anybody who ever purchased gasoline or knows of somebody that did has ties to the hijackers funders.
- Maybe most people are over 9/11 where you live, but nobody I know is.
- Maybe you are not particularly suspicious of the Saudis anymore but I am. So is everybody I know.
- My attitude is that youre an asshole. Most reasonable people agree.

Using your idiotic logic, anybody who ever purchased gasoline or knows of somebody that did has ties to the hijackers funders. Using your idiotic logic, there is no difference between Joe Consumer buying a plastic widget and Joe CEO forming a joint venture with Chinese Widget Co., Inc to build widget factories in Hong Kong.
And guess what? If one of the board members of Chinese Widget Co. was suspected of stealing American military secrets, and then Bush named his American business partner as the chairman of the "Stop China from stealing American military secrets" commision, I would think that was pretty lame too.
My attitude is that youre an asshole. Most reasonable people agree.
You interrupted this thread to announce that you'd been drinking, vomiting and sailing for a couple of weeks, right?
Why don't you sleep it off and return when you have something intelligent to say?
