        \_ What a tease. I was hoping for something better than some
           round blue things.
           \_ Then you should have put out.

3/19    Supporter of Bush and Iraq War:  I would like to hear your opinion
        on this one.  Thanks  http://csua.org/u/fam  (ny times)
        \_ Look, this is a war. I guess you never studied history about
           how you never play fair. No one ever does. That's how you win.
           You should get back to drinking your latte and your naive world
           where everyone "can just get along" Life is not that way.
           \_ If you think you know how to win this war, I suggest you let
              the white house know right away.  'Cause in case you hadn't
              noticed, they're not winning it.  But don't let that stop you
              from supporting the invasion of Iran. Dumb redneck fuck.
              \_ It's also naive to think that the purpose of the invasion
                 was ever really about WMD, it's about fighting terrorist on
                 their lands, not in the streets of America.
                 \_ Too bad Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism.  -tom
                 \_ If Terrorism is a real concern, then, Bush, Co. will
                    use terrorism to justify for the War.  Instead, Bush & Co.
                    knew terrorism won't sell in general public... except
                    few dumb ass such as you.
              \_ Actually, they seem to be doing fine, liberal moron.
                 \_ Aren't you supposed to be in church all day today, asshole?
                    It's Sunday, after all.
                    \_ Why are you wasting do much of your mother earth's
                       resources to spew your drivel on this evil
                       military-funded computer network?  Shouldn't you be
                       out protesting for better state-funded meantal
                       out protesting for better state-funded mental
                       hospitals for you and your moonbat friends?
                       \_ You're still here?  Isn't it time for you to
                          molest your sister?
           \_ This is *EXACTLY* how Japanese justifies slaughter of 20-30
              million Chinese as well.
                          \_ You should really take your meds more
                             regularly.
                             \_ You guys are hilarious!  Thanks MOTD!
                \_ I am actually curious how you come about the assessment
                   that "they seem to be doing fine." Do you have any evidence
                   to back up this position? Because you know that it is in
                   the extreme minority now. You do know that, right?
                   Without resorting to insults, please explain to me
                   how you have come to believe that the US is doing well
                   in Iraq.
                   \_ This about covers it: http://csua.org/u/faw (CBS)
                      Basically, people who are actually on the ground
                      and have a clue do not say the same things as the
                      journalists hiding in the green zone searching
                      through military dispatches for bad news.  I was
                      being a little trollish when I said, "doing well",
                      but I think they are currently doing about as well
                      as can be expected.
                      \_ I really wouldn't call Ralph Peters unbiased in any
                         circumstance.  He was in the Army for a while and
                         probably has more knowledge of military strategy
                         than a lot of reporters, but I think most of Iraq's
                         firefights are guerilla battles that the Army he
                         was in has a hard time finding.  Also, just go read
                         some of his other columns, there are gems like
                  http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14321
                      \_ uh, so why do you think Ralph Peters, New York Post
                         reporter, who is an ardent supporter of Bush and the
                         war in Iraq, "has a clue"?  I think the answer is
                         in the question.  -tom
                      \_ In this case, "about as well as can be expected"
                         seems to translate to "haven't been forced out in
                         helicopters a la Saigon."
                      \_ Thank you for the link. I am not sure a war supporter
                         should be bringing up colonialism but there he did.
                         Do you ever look at the Iraq Index, buy the Brookings
                         Institute? It is the closest thing to an unbiased
                         set of observable facts that I have run across. I
                         did notice that electricity production is up, which
                         is a good sign.
           \_ why we tried people for war crime, then?  I am talking about
              those who uses gas chambers?  are you admiting that we also
              uses torture chambers and not that different from Saddam?
              And in case you forgot, we STARTED the war.
           \_ Don't forget about "get back to driving your Volvo" and other
              cliches.
           \_ So in other words, any cost is worth it when we're talking about
              saving <a measureable number of> American lives.  Think about
              that

        http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/18/business/18trucks.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
        \_ I thought Berkeley taught you how to read.  The title is:
           "Trading the Hummer for a Honda." and give you another hint:
           http://csua.org/u
           \_ Why would Berkeley teach people how to read?  That's the
              responsibility of elementary schools.
           \_ The article talked about a 400h. That's a hybrid.
              \_ but the Honda Element is not.

3/20    Guide to the religions of comic book characters:

        \_ Awesome link.  I had no idea there were so many jewish superheroes,
           or that Captain Canuck was Mormon...

3/19    White house pushes more drug testing for schools
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060319/us_nm/drugs_testing_dc
        \_ I thought Bush smoked cocaine during his "free-sprited" days
           \_ _smoked_ cocaine?
              \_ He didn't inhale, its ok.
           \_ Hey, we all know El Presidente snorted a line or two back in
              the day, but I think we would have heard about it if he was
              freebasing. -dans
              \_ "A line or two" was what he snuck into the bathroom at
                 Camp David for.  He was a full blown coke head.
                 \_ I wouldn't doubt it.  But not all coke heads go the
                    Richard Prior/Marion Barry route. -dans

        \_ In the very near future, these could actually be useful if you
           don't want airport security people to see your wiener.   I think
           that as milimeter wave scanning technology starts to get deployed
           we're going to see a bigger and bigger market for metalized
           underwear, especially for women.
           \_ Say hello to Mr. Body Cavity Search!
        \_ Mmm.  Why depend on science when you can be POSITIVE that something's
           bad for you!
        \_ Mmm.  Why depend on science when you can be POSITIVE that
