"Slavery. The Democrats were the party of slavery. There's no debate on that. " Very true. Of course, it's rather like saying that Queen Elizabeth II is the same as Queen Victoria -- 150 years changes a lot about what a party stands for -- both from Lincoln to Bush for Republicans and from James Buchanan to Barack Obama for the Democrats. The parties each meant something different back then. I understand you're pissed off about where your party went over the

Eh, Congress is getting a bad rap for one reason: obstructionist Republicans. The same Republicans who whined about "up and down" votes are filibustering almost everything that comes into the Senate. Well, that's no surprise, Republicans are hypocritical jackasses (See: Perjury and Obstruction of Justice opinions by the GOP regarding William Jefferson Clinton Versus I. Lewis Libby). Rahm knew his defunding plan had no hope of passing, just like Conyers and Kucinich know their impeach

This was surprising to you? What surprised me was that the fine and probation were left in tact. Pansy Pelosi and Bent Reid will do nothing. Kucinich, Conyers, and a few others with some balls might rabble-rabble a bit, but in the end, the Democrats will do what they do best -- bow down to big daddy Bush, even though only 29% of people in this country like him. And the Gentleman from Vermont's name is "Leahy." No "e." And Rahm Emanuel is a DLC shill worthy of nothing but contempt

Your girl Noonan was pretty high on George back in '04. Hell, most of you were. Now, you're throwing him under the bus because he's "not a conservative." Don't make me laugh, you ain't getting out of this one that easily. George Bush is a failure because he took all the things the righties love -- money for the rich, blowing up third world countries, smacking around gays, and telling everyone they'd get a gun in ever pot -- and he screwed it up. But not because

"Be careful what you confess to here, oh elven one, lest the JU Pollyanna club deem your lifestyle repugnant or the local Christian Coalition labels you 'ungodly.'" This from the ass who went off on me for distilling a little ether. She *is* the pollyanna club when she can't get at ya any other way. On the other hand, have a good one. I'll smoke one for you.

"Hydrogen isn't an energy source, it's energy storage." Bingo! And there are a few other dirty secrets about hydrogen that never seem to get brought up. First, hydrogen is the simplest atom that exists. What that means is that you can't fully contain hydrogen in a container -- it can seep through the atomic structure of any substance. You can, of course, slow the process by having thick walled heavy tanks -- more for the hydrogen to work through -- but this adds weight to the vehicle,

heh, the "brazilian sugar" argument vs. the rainforest. Good for you, Brad on bringing THAT issue up on a conservative blog. very valid point. If the USA wanted to replace its fleet with ethanol cars grown on US popular corn, we'd have to plant the entire continent of Africa with corn. That's just space-wise btw. There's a big desert in Africa, too, cuts down on land, ennit? You guys that don't think solar is "there" yet are full of it. Solar ain't as good as it could be, but then again

P.S. -- no revolutionary has known when to give up power SINCE Washington, I'd say. Lenin, Stalin, Mao -- name others. They had different ideas and ideals, but George Washington KNEW when to say "no" to more power and let his baby grow up. Even Adams and Jefferson had trouble with that score, but they had Washington's example to guide them. He was a true Revolutionary, George Washington, and an example to us all.

Dang it, Gid, you DO tend to say such wonderful things. Yeah, let me find the CD case and I'll tell you who did the soundtrack. Other than the dance songs, it was one guy who over-dubbed his own instruments. Daniel James' biography is excellent, I've read it. I have the 1968 Time magazine with Ernesto on the cover, and some Cuban notes from the time when he just had them print his signature "Che" (can't make the accent). George Washington is my favorite revolutionary

lol Newt did more harm in Israel in 1998 than Pelosi in 2007...but these hacks won't care because Newt is God and Pelosi is the Devil...now me personally, I think the person third in line for the Presidency might have some clout and be able to operate independently from the executive branch, but that's just me. I'd like John Roberts to give an opinion that the Executive doesn't like and see guys like LW, MM, and Dr. Guy hate on, it would be amusing, the Judicial Branch leader breaking with thei

Gael Garcia Bernal is really good in this film, and having read the book, there are some problems I have with the film, but it's pretty right on for this period in Ernesto Guevara's life (he weren't quite Che back then haha). Love the description of the film as a Latin "On the Road" with a moral conscious. Che was at a formative point here, and his experiences later in Guatemala during the CIA backed overthrow of the democratically elected Arbenz government would change him into the blo

Hey, kiddo, did you hear about the Republicans that went to Syria before or at the same time as Speaker Pelosi (Rep. Robert Aderholt’s (R-AL), Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), and then Rep. David Hobson (R-OH) who actually accompanied Pelosi)? Where you mad when Newt Gingrich took a solo trip to China in 1997, or when he went to Israel in 1998? Or are you just a partisan hack? Oh damn, why did I even ask the question? Of course you are!
