3/5     For the Ashcroft haters out there: do you see this as divine
        retribution?  Does he deserve it?  Do you wish him dead?
        http://news.myway.com/top/article/id/389373|top|03-05-2004::17:07|reuters.html
        restored.  leave it to the motd to delete actual real national news
        that has actual real national implications while leaving so much other
        drivel.  way to go!

        drivel.  way to go!
        \_ if you're NOT a troll, it sounds like you are only capable of the
           same absolutist thought that makes Ashcroft stupid and unpopular.
           And one day your body will fail you as well, and you will wonder
           if you are a bad person.  But don't worry, you are just dumb.
        \_ Nobody "hates" Ashcroft or Rumsfeld or Bush (except a bunch of
           lunatics with whom you won't be able to argue anyway.)  They're
           just scary, incompetent and dishonest to varying degrees, and
           don't belong in charge of large portions of a democratic
           government.  Nice flamebait.  -John
           \_ The whole point of good government is to be robust to idiots.
              Idiots are a problem for any form of government.  (I am not
              necessarily calling any of the above idiots, though, just
              pointing out expecting philosopher-kings at the top is naive).
                -- ilyas
           \_ Idoitic or not is not an issue, nor do I believe Bush and
              his team are incompetent.  They are just a bunch people who
              put ideology over pragmatism, put interest of the few over
              interest of the masses, *AND* lie to the masses so they will
              pay for their agenda, with cash and blood.
        \_ no, yes, yes.
        \_ yes, yes, no.
        \_ no, no, no.
        \_ yes, no, yes

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a

        \_ Please give more context, thanks.
           \_ Apparently the McCain campaign keeps bringing this up.
              \_ if this election is won or lost on whether McCain can convince
                 Americans that Obama is a weird arugula

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

Ashcroft has defended the policies as necessary to prevent another attack and has strongly supported a sweeping anti-terror law that gave the government the power to tap phones, track Internet usage and cell phones and detain immigrants. The illness usually begins with pain in the upper abdomen, and Ashcroft initially thought he had stomach flu, Corallo said. It can occur when a small gallstone moves far enough into the bile duct to block the flow of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine, causing sharp abdominal pain. According to the National Institutes of Health, about 80,000 cases of pancreatitis occur in the United States each year, and about 20 percent of them are severe. Acute pancreatitis can be a severe, life-threatening illness with many complications, it said in its information clearinghouse on digestive diseases. CANCELED APPEARANCE IN VIRGINIA On Thursday afternoon Ashcroft canceled a scheduled appearance in Alexandria, Virginia, to applaud the guilty verdict in a so-called Virginia jihad terror case because he believed he had a stomach flu. He went home and when the condition worsened, he was visited by White House Physician Daniel Parks, who advised that he go to the emergency room, Corallo said in a statement. He said Ashcroft went to the George Washington University Hospital early on Thursday evening for an evaluation of his stomach complaints. The illness was diagnosed after a full medical examination in the emergency room, Corallo said. At a rally in New Orleans, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said of Ashcroft, I hope everybody will say their prayers that he gets well. I dont know what the status is, but that is something that every single one of us has in our hearts and we will do that. His standard stump speech line that always draws huge applause is: When I am president, we will have an attorney general whose name is not John Ashcroft.
