You're exactly right - they've created a really bad precedent by allowing this to slide. Now all soldiers and reservists who don't believe Afghanistan is a legitimate war will use this as an excuse to be reassigned, possibly resulting in chaos within the ranks. What's missing from all this is...

Amen to that! Some very good points made in this post that compare living in theoretical la-la land as opposed to dealing with the real world. Barack Hussein Obama has no real world experience, and that fact will become more obvious as time passes. His economic ineptitude is on display at this...

I doubt this Johnson kid has ever had an intelligent thought in his life. He's obviously been signed by some sleazy agent looking for a quick couple of bucks. At any rate, here's a good article from John Fund that makes a lot of sense. John H. Fund

In yet another example of how low the mainstream media can sink, the Associated Press has now declared the teenage moron that fathered Sarah Palin's grandchild as a credible source of political information. Once ridiculed by the media as "trailer trash" and a high school dropout, this kid is now...

My doctor switched me from Nexium to Omeprazole - the generic for Prilosec. He said it was virtually the same thing and way cheaper. I noticed these guys have the OTC generic at 100 pills for $41 - pretty good deal. I also get the Crestor in the 10 mg size and split the pills, thus twice as many...

It may be harder for some to read his pieces than it is for others, and there are very few people that are universally humorus. Writing this piece from the perspective of a liberal, he makes some really good points including the following: "If you had any sense, you would start using our...

Another bit of brilliance about Sarah Palin: I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin by David Kahane on National Review Online= This guy gets it - 100%.

Re: What do you think? One man's opinion - oil at $20 per barrel by the end of the y For starters, cheap oil means that the cost of operating your truck goes down. Your carrier can offer cheaper rates by lowering their fuel surcharges. The cost of making petroleum based goods goes down. The...

I think time will have the final say as to whether or not Michael Jackson will be regarded as a true "genius." Personally, I think he will be regarded as a showman rather than a musician, and to put him in the class of the above list of names is a bit of a stretch. He was only an average...

This cartoon by Mike Lukobich of the AJC does a good job of summing things up:

I'm sure that from your position of moral and intellectual superiority you could parse every sentence - every syllable for that matter - ad infinitum, ad nauseum. After giving thanks to me the other night for not being long winded in a response you proceed to do exactly that, repeatedly. How...

Earth to Doug, earth to Doug...are you there?? Joe Jackson

If they weren't paying attention to what was going on, then Jackson and his young guests were in effect "unchaperoned." Yeah, I had the same reaction. But I think we agree that Jackson was only 45 years old by the calendar. Otherwise, he seemed in many ways to have the approximate mentality...

Wonder what happened to the argument the GOP was making during the election - that you can't raise taxes during a recession and expect positive results. That's what Carter did and we know what happened during his administration. At the rate the Democrats are running up the deficit, inflation is...

Granted, there's a lot of assumptions going on here with a few facts mixed in. We can assume that if there happened to be a parent on site at Neverland during one of these "sleep overs" they were paying attention to what was going on in Jackson's bedroom. What of they weren't paying attention -...

With all due respect to Mr. Guano, the above response (not answer, mind you) to the question is a study in Bovine Scatology. The last word of the question is essential, because without it the factor of possible pedophilic activity is removed. It also reflects the situation being discussed -...

And I'll bet he wasn't inclined to do "sleep overs" in the same bed with somebody like MJ or any other 45 year-old man

It's obviously beyond my meager abilities to communicate my main point effectively with someone on your level of intellectual superiority. However, I'll give it another stab by repeating this simple question based on the assumption you're a parent: WOULD YOU HAVE ALLOWED YOUR 11 YEAR-OLD SON...

Having had a long day in the saddle and being too tired to make another lengthy argument, I'll just refer the participants in this forum to a couple of articles that make some good points about Michael Jackson's aberrant behavior. Quoting from the article: "I understand 'innocent until proven...

Here's a good essay on Jacko - pretty spot on in my opinion. It always seemed to me that he was overrated as a musician and was really more of a showman. Regarding his personal life, the guy was obviously mentally ill and were it not for his wealth and influence in the entertainment industry he...
