sGeorge Stepanopulous [sp]. Setting conditions for success in Iraq now. Ignores the Scuds and the anthrax, says no WMD have been found and WMD must be found or the mission in Iraq will have failed.

This will be the Democrat mantra,They know the position is tenuous, but feel they have nothing to lose. Look for this to be brought up over and over. I will answer the R's rebuttle to this with a rhetorical question. Do you think the President, Rumsfeld, Rice, and Wolfowitz would have put themselves into this trap? The Dems are reaching for the brass ring and are a foot short.

>>The other talking point is to talk about how this will destabilize the Middle East<<

Isn't that the effin' point?

Reminds me of Shep

E.T. has less makeup.

Paul Bergala has that effect on me. when Clinton comes on tv my husband screams and covers his ears till I get him muted. His aim is never to hear his voice again as long as he lives. But hey, he is a good husband otherwise,,the screaming only occasionally gets to me.

[gop212]

Those feelings are natural. I just thought your rant was funny. And appropriate.

[texxie]

look how many of them left and went back home when they found out where they were going to be placed as human shields

[DaughterofEve]

E.T. has less makeup.

Ha! Hence the difference.

[SoldiersGirl]

my husband has the same response to Donna Fiducia (I think she's just a local reporter though)
he then proceeds to crack 40 jokes about her name.

[ztiworoh]

Honestly my opinion is that homeschooled or not, it's parental involvement that makes all the difference

I;ve never been homeschooled, Ive been in Catholic School all my life, but I come from a mother who forced me to read the classics, go to the theatre and the symphony, listen to music that was not in the top 40, read the news all at a young age. Sure, I may have ciomplained a bit at the time, but it's helped me be well rounded and more knowledgeable than my peers.

It's parents that are needed for our children, not tax money for public schools with useless and undereducated teachers. It all startes with the family.

[POGIFFMOO]

Which one was E.T.?

[Extremist]

*And put a bunch of napkins or paper towels in the bottom of a potentially mixed-up-cup so that not too much goes down.
Enough of this already, my tacos are attacking!

[Republic]

I relate to your hubby's reaction to billy klinton. He makes my blood crawl and my husband loathes him as well.

[RummyChick]

SNL..up
hardball
there are some good skits on this near the beginning
monologue can be missed

[prairiebreeze]

I've been studying my maps. I see 3 military airports located around and wonder if they are of any major significance to taking Baghdad, and if Iraqi's have any air assault capabilities at all.

Matthews on SNL

[cajungirl]

Wonder what part of the "human shield" designation they didn't get,,the human part or the shield part. I think they thought they were gonna play some drums, smoke some weed, hold hands, sing give peace a chance and score with the babes.

[muslims=borg]

Man I gotta clean this desk off. I've got empty cope tins, empty coke cans, empty glasses of milk, empty beer bottles. Its those darn red disposable cups, I drink stuff out of them and use them for spitters.

[SoldiersGirl]

Amen friend.
My daughters are 5 and 7...they'd rather go to the museum than the mall and they think Britney Spears is trashy...I'm doing my job well.
My son is 17 months...I'm sure he will someday disagree about britney

[Petronski]

Saturday Night Live seems to be new.

>>What does SCUD stand for?<<
