This is a thread to collect all the breaking stories regarding the Libration of Iraq

There were two accidents today -- the first one was a special ops Pave Low -- they had to go rescue the six people.

The second accident was an apache with two men and they were able to do a hard land and then take off.

how do you get morons to accept good ideas

You have to tell them they are bad ideas but:

-- they are bad people who deserve to have bad things happen to them because of something someone who might have looked like their ancestor did.

-- or instituting them will screw up people they don't like so if it screws them up too it is no big deal.

They haven't said it again since. They then said their reporter didn't immediately get into his mask and they haven't talked about it again.

I'm really enjoying this covereage on regular Fox channel. No FNC here, so I finally get to see what and who everybody is always talking about.

That's what I thought .. if I was Apple, I'd stear clear of Clinton/Gore .. they tend to bring scandels and trouble where ever they go

[OXENinFLA]

There's so many joke to come out of Al Gore going to apple it's going to take years to get rid of them. Kinda like trying to get Rid of the Clintons.

[Timeout]

Didn't catch what you did with Gunga Dan Rather.

[ninenot]

That would be some display when they could see what was happening in the early morning hours.

[Fledermaus]

You have to tell them they are bad ideas but:

Or just tell them it's a Democrats idea!

Seriously, I used to use that ploy on my liberal "friends". I'd say Clinton proposed X when the GOP did and they loved it! Or vice versa, tell them the GOP proposed Z when Clinton did and they hated it!

[CasearianDaoist]

Tell them it will destroy the nation?

"Here's a nightmare: imagine algore prosecuting this war."

Shock and snooze.

Or, alternately, "'Awww' and 'Shucks'".

[Carolina]

with the lawyer that looked like Professor Corey, the same lawyer who later represented Gore in the 2000 election fiasco

David Boies. He's in deep doo-doo himself.

I don't think so...

Tent cities in Jordan! Why does that make me think of a "Guns 'N' Roses" song?

'Take me down to the Jordan tent city, where the sand is hot and the girls aren't pretty...'

[Terriergal]

I hadn't ventured onto this thread because the sheer size intimidates me. :)

You got dialup or broadband?
