    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    Correct, it alone is not reason. That is something that will be factually decided in court. All of the allegations here are predicated on the ruling of the court. But, assuming that what Manning did was treason, it is not semantical gymnastics in the least to make that statement. No, those...

    Russian Newspaper Joins Forces With WikiLeaks

    It'll be interesting to see if you can do it by addressing the issues, rather than who stated them. As a test, let's see if you can post a response without using the word "you" in it. It'll be fun. :D That's nothing. You wouldn't believe what I (and others) have noticed about you. See? Pretty...

    Officials: CIA gave waterboarders $5M legal shield

    Sorry, doesn't float my boat. War is a nasty business and people need to be trained and aware of what can happen, a mother's natural concern notwithstanding. I have a relative who went through the same type of training, and he credits it with saving his life. I have a friend who's daughter just...

    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    Yes, really. Sorry? Really? I don't think you're sorry at all. If you were, you wouldn't have done it. Yeah, I'll use innuendo a lot. It's a very effective writing tool. However, considering every single one of those quote are from another thread and have nothing to do with this one, and...

    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    No, what I'm trying to tell you is, Dave is really good with a hammer, and hits the nail right on the head a lot. True enough, I can't prove it, don't have indisputable evidence that he's good with a hammer or hits the nail on the head a lot, but it's something I believe nonetheless. I could be...

    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    We interrupt this personal attack for an important message from our dictionary... To be engaged in something is to participate in it. If Assange was in cahoots with Manning in any way, then Assange participated in Manning's act of treason (assuming that Manning's act was, in fact, treason)...

    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    Well, I guess if you want it to be rhetorical, then it's rhetorical. It's not rhetorical, tho. No need to be rude or quite so presumptive. It's a simple question, not a derogatory or baseless canard. True enough, I have no insignt into Assange's legal arrangement, but I'm not stupid, either. To...

    Do you need a CDL for c/v

    You really need to get a copy of the Driver's Manual of the state in which you live, and then read it. You do not need a CDL for a cargo van, unless you will be hauling HAZMAT (for which you'll need a CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement) or more than 9 passengers for hire or more than 15 passengers...

    panther!!

    Well, no. You need a CLD to drive at Panther, be it a Class A, B or C. Most van drivers get a Class C, but if you have a B or an A that will work, too. For any driver's license they'll make you take a road test for that class of license. So for Class C, you'll take the road test in a Class C...

    Russian Newspaper Joins Forces With WikiLeaks

    What about those who can't get past the fact that Assange can walk on water? Wikileaks is hardly established mainstream, and is by definition on the fringe themselves. Who is the lunatic fringe again? By definition, Assange himself is the lunatic fringe, espousing the extreme, fanatical and...

    Assange says signed 1.1 million pounds in book deals

    "I don't want to write this book [sniffle, sniff-sniff], but I have to," he said. Boo hoo hoo. Where did he get the 200,000 pounds he's already spent on legal fees, and just how much per hour is his attorney charging him? Sheesh.

    Officials: CIA gave waterboarders $5M legal shield

    I don't have a problem with waterboarding. If you don't want to be waterboarded, or tortured, you should refrain from terrorist activities and associating yourself with terrorists. I also don't have a problem with the necessity of the CIA and of convert activities in the furtherance of...

    panther!!

    Same as it's always been: Better if you own your own van than if you drive for someone else; if you hang out where other Panther vans are you won't get nearly as many loads as you will if you are where everybody else ain't.

    Wikileaks suspect Bradley Manning's health 'declining'

    Rug burns is something I have a feeling that Manning is no stranger to. <snort> David House is a computer programmer and computer researcher at MIT, not really a journalist. Calling yourself a journalist is all the rage these days. He's a, uhm, friend of Manning's. A really close friend...

    Check engine light off

    I would think a check engine light would need to be taken seriously regardless of the vehicle type. I've never seen an engine light come on and then later go, "Ha ha, just kidding."

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    Again, while I don't necessarily believe that memo is the smoking gun, I do think there's a little smoke there. There's an awful lot in that memo that actually happened, so either it was uber Nostradamus in nature, astoundingly coincidental, or there's a little puff of smoke in there somewhere...

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    There was certainly no secret that FDR was itching to get into the war in Europe. He needed a reason, tho. And Japan provided that for him. There's here: 1941: The 8 step plan that provoked Japan into attacking the United States and here: FDR provoked the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor While...
