Wouldn't it be cool if Mary Mapes had have put this kind of energy into actual events instead of merely campaigning against Prs. Bush? And wouldn't it be cool if Murtha and the other salivating idiots on Capitol Hill spent less time decrying the poor tactics in Iraq and more time trying to help America

Have you read The Federalist Papers? I hadn't, thanks. They are now the backbone of my pro-democracy argument. My brief essay has to argue both sides of this argument: "Democracy is the best form of government for all the world's inhabitants." No small task!

From what I understand, you will love Halifax. Nova Scotia is absolutely beautiful, spring, summer, and fall. The countryside is lush and the city is cosmopolitan (somewhat - you can find a Starbucks). Downside: cold winters. Wear a coat. No, wear two. There are many law firms that specialize in Canadian citizenship. They are listed in the back advertisements in the Economist. Here's one: Abrams & Krochak, Canadian Immigration Lawyers

And you thought numerology was the only way to enlightenment... Alectromancy - uses letters inscribed in a circle, selected by rooster pecking grain. Bibliomancy - is divination by turning to random book passages. Bletonism - divines by observing swirling currents of water. Cephalomancy - Examines the boiled skull of an animal parti

Is that piece by Robert B. Warwick? Are you Robert B. Warwick? Seriously, I enjoyed the text; it's very funny and heart-warming. For a moment there I thought you were a very gifted writer. Are you? No, sadly, I am just a person who enjoyed the piece and posted it verbatim to my blog. It was forwarded

Must be a spin off of democratunderground.org Maybe so, maybe not... but what gets me is that they are passing themselves off as a legitimate source. (It was a "sponsored link" on my Google search, which tells me that not only were they a good hit, but they paid to be a good hit and get click-throughs.

Is the distinction you make that hate is exhaustive, but love isn't? Love is effortless. (Depending on the person!) Hate destroys, tears down, and demeans. It takes energy and taxes the will.

I also think of the Arizona Cardinals, who for the longest time (since 1986) have been playing in Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium. Bill Bidwill (the owner) moved to Phoenix from St. Louis with the hope that Phoenicians would build him a stadium. That hasn't happened. In fact, Super Bowl XXX was held at Sun Devil Stadium, but the NFL said they would not send another Super Bowl to Arizona until they built a proper stadium. I

From Reuters: How do you like your kangaroo -- medium rare? Doesn't sound too appealing, does it?

Don't get me wrong, I am glad the Ex-Pos have found a new home here. I like baseball, and love to watch when I'm actually at the stadium. We may be able to scrape together some $$$ and see a game next season. But does the team automatically get a blank check from the city in order to keep it there? I am also reminded of the Vancouver Grizzlies, who are very happy in their new home in Memphis. Or the Minnesota North Stars, who were mov

Okay, just got off the phone with SFC Silver. First of all, not that scary. Second, they got my MOS wrong in the computer. Apparently they had me down as a 97B, Counterintelligence, rather than a 98C, Signal Intelligence. Third, I guess the merger happened, because he asked me if I was a 98Y. I had to say I didn't know. Am I a 98Y, Army people? Fourth, if I have any questions, or if I change my mind, will I call him? <
