No' date=' they aren't. There's a big difference between questioning what went on and "re-writing history". The latter is a willful attempt to [b']skew[/b] of falsify what actually happened in favor of a particular ideology with little care for intellectual intergrity.

Mokele, I think the operative word is "skew".

Any month that starts on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th in it.

A capon is a castrated rooster.

Umm' date=' have you not been keeping up on this whole Joseph Wilson thing? Namely the New York Times article he wrote over two years ago?

 

Ever heard of the Downing Street Memo?

 

These are the things people want answers from the administration about...[/quote']Yeah bascule, I heard of 'em all....and what does that have to do with the price of eggs?

Ohio- It is illegal to sell beer while wearing a Santa Claus suit, even if you are a dog.

Who specifically are you referring to by "the Dems"... Reid? And how specifically are they trying to "re-write history"? Because they originally supported the war[/url'] (having just received a healthy dose of post-9/11 paranoia), expecting a repeat of Bush Sr's performance and not the lies and deception that marked this administration's march up to war?

The Dems seem to forget that that several CIA equivalents from foriegn countries corroborated said evidence, not to mention Kerry and other notable Dems.

You might find this funny, but I legitimately misinterpreted what the man was saying. ***?

Bush said this.............

"While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began," the president said.

He didn't say he forgot anything:

I guess the president has forgotten that he only introduced the WMD charge after it was clear that the American public was not behind invading Iraq based solely on a loose, largely unsubstantiated connection with Al Qaeda and 9/11.

And there's no doubt that the Dems are trying to re-write history.

Hmmm, I suppose if you had a 20 megawatt radar transmitter in your yard (paid for by someone else), and you had enough mu-metal around you to keep from frying your balls, you might be able to salvage some useful energy.

Jacques Chirac is an asshole ..

In the old cars, their ignition system contained a set of points, a capacitor, a coil and a distributor.

When starting the engine, the 12V was fed to the rotating opening/closing points which delivered a square wave to the coil. The coil was an autotransformer (step up transformer) which generated say 5 KV (not 40 KV), this was distributed to the spark plugs.

Btw' date=' you could have a dead rat in the compressor. Have you had any bad smells in the house lately? [/quote']

Hehehe

Maybe your fridge need a shot of refrigerant...freon or whatever.

Anyway, I don't see a problem shutting down the freezer (if it can be done). If the freezer is on top, put a couple of pieces of foam insulation in it to help insulate the fridge.

Who? Me??

I think driving is bad because pushing the pedals makes your back muscles contract.

I wonder how much force it would take to shift the asteroids orbit

If terrorism is defined as a roadside bomb that blows up a school bus, or strapping a bomb on a child to be detonated in a crowded restaurant, then ask yourself if you'd like to live under a regime that employed these tactics.

On the other hand, guerrilla warfare is acceptable...as I define it.

Bush is spending 7 billion on preparations for a pandemic. The FEW vaccines are for a current strain of the flu.

The president is proposing a $7 billion plan to fight a possible pandemic, saying failure to act now could cost many U.S. lives.

My personal view is that the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons in America are the worst thing that could have happened to black Americans.

I completely agree. As I see it' date=' Jackson [i']et al[/i], for decades, been giving the Blacks heavy doses of "whitey owes you", "whitey discriminates", whitey disenfranchises", "don't emulate whitey", "black republicans are uncle toms"....on and on. I see it as destroying the morale and spirit.

On the other hand, you have Black people like Bill Cosby, Jesse Lee Peterson, Shelby Steele....and more, who want to instill pride, desire, ambition, only to be largely ignored by the MSM and liberal blacks.

If I were a president, I'd be more comfortable sending Jesse Jackson on a mission that Jimmy Carter.

To the extent that there is a community of blacks - or anybody, really - who feel this way, all I can say is, "You'll get what you deserve." One part of the failure is not having the value instilled in them of getting a good education, and that seems to be a cultural failure. Except that I strongly suspect the folks who feel this way, when they wake up in 20 years and realize thay have no education and as a result, a crappy job, they will blame it on being screwed by the system[/b'], rather than on the person in the mirror. They made a choice. Clinging to a cultural ideal of willful ignorance - if you can call that an ideal - or chucking it because the system in place rewards hard work, thinking skills and intelligence.

Absolutely, and who's teaching them this stuff (acting white) ? It's not the whites, and it not Bill Cosby and the blacks on his team.

It's been 40 years now.

Or screwed by the Republicans

At a breakfast with reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Carter, 81, diverged from a time-honored practice in which ex-presidents refrain from criticizing those currently holding the office.

I thought this was pretty humorous.

Hey Bud, if I said "all", I didn't mean it and I stand corrected.

There still is some of that. If you are black and a Republican or have a white collar job and move Uptown, you are a traitor. If you are a rapper, athlete or movie star, you are gold. Which one do you pick to emulate if you are a kid - the traitor or the star?

It's the same shit as what the school kids are doing, 'cept it's been done by adults.
