\_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
can't believe we elected this retread.
\_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

2008/12/11-16 [Politics/Domestic/Election] UID:52224 Activity:moderate | 12/11 Congress makes me sick. They forked over $700B to the banks with
less hand-wringing. $15B is chump change. Just do it. They don't
deserve it, but neither did the banks.
\_ The $700B was a loan.
\_ and we're gonna get every penny back, with interest! or how
about this: it would have been much worse if we hadn't loaned

\_ Annex it as Georgia II.
\_ Not much I'm afraid. Especially since Georgia seems to have
started it. Russia was fomenting the battle, but when Russia
is itching to attack you, don't give it an excuse!
\_ Russia moved troops into Georgia, not the other way around.

his old boss. I feel like we're trapped in an alternate

their writers will never be able to keep up with the tragic

2010/7/26-8/25 [Reference/Military] UID:53898 Activity:low | 7/25 Friend of mine's thinking about joining the armed forces.
He was thinking either marines or army. I was going to say that
marines are far more dangerous, but then I stopped and thought of
the Three Block War vs. the Navy shelling the crap out of Iraq
before the marine had to storm it; is the notion reversed now?
Does the army has a tougher job/more dangerous job than the marines

in the real world, where it is outside of the perfect laboratory
test conditions?
\_ I dont't know much about guns. But I think M16s are too long when
you need to fight left and right from inside a Humvee. AK47s are
shorter.
