I get a rash everytime anybody mentions her running for president. We just couldn’t make a worse choice.
June 16th, 2006 at 9:46 pmThough 2500 soldiers have been killed, hardly anything is said about the wounded, which because of the advancement in body armour and battlefield medicine is much greater as a ratio than in the past wars.

June 16th, 2006 at 10:44 pmAccording to the forum on Wired, any phrase consisting of a 4-letter, 2 3-letter, and a 5-letter word will do it. But only the first time you save it. WinCustomize.com, who discovered the bug, uses the example “this app may break”.
So yeah, Red Neck Bore, you’re right. Glad I don’t use that Windows crap.
June 16th, 2006 at 10:46 pmSo there was about 3000 Americans killed on 9-11. Now that Bush’s war is getting close to that mark, who are we going to invade? We still don’t have Bin Laden. So should we accuse Iran of our problems? North Korea? Russia? I say we aim high: China. Bush is smart enough… we can take them in a ground war as long as he tells people to “Go Shopping”.

Comment by Don
You realize there have been about 20.000 wounded in this war, most have the signature wounds of this war. Missing limbs, severe head wounds or being paralysed or a combination of all 3. There is also reporters that are saying the government is hiding the real numbers of war wounded, and the real numberis supected of being up to 48,100.
Not really much to praise Bush for, Don
June 16th, 2006 at 10:57 pmI did the ‘bush hid the facts’ thing and when I reopened it, it said ‘no shit sherlock’. Weird is right.
June 16th, 2006 at 11:15 pmMaybe this Microsoft thing is what is called an “easter egg” .. a hidden little something that the programer added just for “fun” … maybe that chinese means something?
Hard to believe that bug would be there for years and years considering how easy it is to move text in and out of a textbox like notepad.
June 16th, 2006 at 11:17 pmNobody knows the real count of American troops killed in Iraq > officially it’s reported as 2,500 KIA, but any wounded soldiers who died in Germany at military hospitals are not included, so real number could be 500 to 1,000 more?! Wounded is officially reported as 20,000, but actually could be as high as 50,000?! That being the case probably means that Bush and sectarian violence in Iraq have killed around 500,000 Iraqis?!
June 16th, 2006 at 11:25 pmMemo To Democrats by tristero
Issue #1 is Bush. Issue #2 is everything else. Until Bush no longer has a Republican majority in the House and the Senate to rubber stamp nearly everything he wants, your opinions and ideas mean squat. No. Less than squat.
Make reining in Bush *the* issue. Republicans in Congress will do whatever Bush wants, but the country is fed up with what Bush wants. They’ve seen how much damage he causes. Only Democratic majorities in Congress can prevent him from wreaking even worse havoc on the country. Bush is the issue. And hoo boy! has Bush made the your job incredibly easy:
Remember: Bush really is incompetent. And the American public sees it now.
Remember: Bush really has governed above the law. And the the American public understands that now.
Remember: Bush has bogged this nation down in an insane war. And the American public understands that now.
Remember: Bush does not have a genuine plan to deal with Iraq, nor is he capable of creating and implementing one. People are dying because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. And the American public understands that now.
Remember: Bush’s supreme callousness and negligence led to the hiring of the incompetents in charge of FEMA during Katrina. And the American public knows it.
Remember: This is one helluva unpopular president. The American public has very good reasons for disliking him and his policies so intensely. They are all but begging you to stand up and refuse to go along with his incompetent, extremist, and unlawful behavior.
Focus on Bush. Everything else is detail.

Comment by Punchy
Do you think the government intrudes too much into your life?
I do… FAR too much.
So do those on the right. I have heard right leaning people say many times they dont like the government getting into their private business.
There is a lot in common between the two major sides. Maybe … maybe … we are all correct.
Maybe when they say NAZIS and we say NAZIS we are all correct. There ARE NAZIS .. we can all smell them… but MAYBE … they are not the right or the left… maybe they are fewer and manipulating us.
When I am thinking my way through a new computer system I need to design I look for truths by looking for the intersection of two or more “almost truths” that I wasnt REAL sure about but since they all point in the same direction that adds a “third” angle of insight because they are RELATED somehow. I then look more closely at these intersections and see if they lead me anywhere…
Maybe that is a way of moving forwards… there are truths at the intersections between the left and the right arguments that point to the actual truth.
I know they want to lower or even get rid of taxes… hell .. that sounds good to me to. BUT then what? And even if we figured out a way to do taxes differently or a way to make the government more efficient with computers or something to lower the amount of money it needs … would the government let us do it? I mean we know the lobbyists like the government the way it is now and they have much greater influence on the laws, the execution of those laws, and the judges that way disputes over the laws…. than we do.

June 16th, 2006 at 11:43 pmAnn Coulter is an evil, evil woman. Such a terrible human being.
June 16th, 2006 at 11:47 pmNot to be too base, though, I would pay to see a Murtha vs. Coulter boxing match. I still give it to the weak liberal, sadly.
June 16th, 2006 at 11:49 pmYou do a disservice by pointing out ONLY the “Bush hid the facts” example of the Windows Notepad bug and not going ahead and noting that it works for ANY phrase consisting of a 4-letter word, two 3-letter words and a 5-letter word. This is exactly how urban legends get started, because not everyone will follow the link. Many will just see the basic story, decide it’s proof that Microsoft is a conservative tool (which they may be, but that judgement certainly can’t be made based on THIS example) and pass it on, without ever realizing that other phrases of the same formation will yeild exactly the same results.

June 16th, 2006 at 11:59 pmAs someone above pointed out, the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq is based on the troops that die there. The number who die in Germany and the United States from their wounds is a closely held secret that would embarrass the hell out of the administration if it were revealed.

June 17th, 2006 at 4:01 amSaturday 17 June 2006,
Protesters also condemned US support for the militias
Two defeated Somali warlords have fled from Mogadishu to a waiting US ship, while another publicly renounced opposition to the capital’s new ruling Islamic courts, sources said on Saturday.
Mr Bush was expected to invoke the 1906 Antiquities Act, which grants presidents the right to create protection areas single-handedly. The only previous time he has invoked the Act was to protect a burial ground in Manhattan where 20,000 slaves and free blacks were laid to rest in the 18th century. The Bush administration has, in fact, shown less interest in environmental conservation than any presidency in memory. Not only had the White House not established any new conservation areas, it had repeatedly eroded protections for existing ones and lobbied to open them up to commercial exploitation. The biggest battle has been over the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which the administration has tried – and so far failed – to open up to oil and gas drilling. But there have been many others.
The Department of the Interior, along with state and local officials, have encouraged oil and gas leases on the edge of national parks and wilderness areas where they risk being a blight on the landscape and a serious pollution hazard. Affected areas include the red rock canyons of Utah and Yellowstone National Park, which straddles northern Wyoming and southern Montana.
The administration has given the go-ahead for logging and road-building in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, which Bill Clinton tried to protect in the dying days of his administration. It has loosened regulations on logging and building in all national forests, and reversed a ban on snowmobiling in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

US report details abuse in Iraq
Iraqi detainees were held in small cells with their eyes taped shut for up to seven days at a time while loud music was played to stop them from sleeping, a US military investigation has found.
The investigation conducted by Brigadier General Richard Formica examined the treatment of Iraqi prisoners following the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in 2004.
The report describes how some detainees were fed nothing but bread and water for up to 17 days by US special operations troops but dismissed allegations that prisoners were physically abused or humiliated at the so-called tactical holding facilities.
The heavily censored report was given to the American Civil Liberties Union under court order as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

June 17th, 2006 at 9:29 amI’m going to getting in contact with these soldiers and give them a piece of my mind.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
It’s about time people stopped saying things like “they’re only doing their jobs”.
If it was my my job to occupy a country and brutally oppress its people I’d say, “no thanks”. I’d do a little time at Colchester military prison and be out!
Why do we absolve soldiers of responsability, they’ve got their own minds.
Obviously the big criminal is Blair, but these people do their share of crimes.
There is not even one accurate count of how many civilians have died in the afgan and Iraqi occupations.
June 17th, 2006 at 9:49 amWhy? because nobody cares. They’re just imperial subjects.
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t studied the history of the British Empire. Nothing changes. same old story
I think it is legitimate to question the ‘just doing my job’ mentality. I’m not suggesting the average soldiers a baby killer but I don’t think you can dissociate yourself from being at the ugly end with ‘just doing my job’. Its not really fair to compare this to a guy putting petrol in his car.
June 17th, 2006 at 9:51 amI’m nt saying all soldiers are saints, but i don’t think it’s fair to look at the armed forces of various nations as an unthinking amorphous blob who just do whatever they’re told and have no opinions or emotions.
The panorama documentary on BBC a couple of weeks ago about the mental/physical state of returning soldiers was excellent, particularly the story of the Royal Marine officer who went to Iraq, did his job in a professional manner and cracked up when he came home, total breakdown. To do the job, when you so clearly disagree with it, takes all sorts of dedication and courage.
Forces don’t fight for god or country or capitalism, they fight for their friends who are stood beside them.

June 17th, 2006 at 11:58 amwhat he says:
“…the Democrats won’t talk about election fraud because they’re in denial, which is itself based on a lethal combination of inertia, self-interest and, above all — or below all — fear.
Such fear is understandable. For the problem here is not simply mechanical or technological, legal or bureaucratic, requiring that we merely tweak the rules and/or build a better mousetrap. Any such expedient will naturally depend on a consensus of “both sides” — and there’s the rub, because in this great clash the “other side” detests American democracy itself. The movement now in power is not conservative but radical, intent on an apocalyptic program that is fundamentally opposed to the ideals of the Enlightenment, on which, lest we forget, this revolutionary secular republic was first founded. The movement frankly disbelieves in reason, and in all the other worldly goods that every rational American still takes for granted: pluralism, checks and balances, “the general welfare,” freedom, progress, the pursuit of happiness. For this movement, condom use is worse than death by AIDS, however many millions the disease may kill; the ruination of the planet should be hastened, not prevented, as it means that He will be returning soon; the “war on terror” is a matter not of geopolitics but metaphysics, as our national enemy is “a guy named Satan”; homosexuals should not be citizens, the US having been conceived as a “Christian republic”; and — most relevant to this debate — the movement’s adversaries, which means all the rest of us, are not human beings with divergent interests but literal “agents of Hell,” demonic entities against which any tactic, however criminal or sinful, is permissible, because they are likely to use any tactic, regardless of its sinfulness or criminality, to force their evil program on the Righteous Ones.”

Residents of the city of Ramadi are fleeing to escape a worsening security situation as the United States military steps up operations against insurgents there. People in Ramadi, capital of the western Iraqi province of Anbar, estimate that about 70 per cent of the city’s population have fled in the last week, many of them holding white flags for fear of being shot at by Marine snipers. Residents reported that US troops blasted messages through loudspeakers on June 13, telling them to leave and warning of house-to-house searches for weapons and militants.

June 17th, 2006 at 10:57 pmArbeit macht frei — the most cyncially callous statement composed by the Nazis, especially interposed as it is on the iron gates to the entrance of Dachau. “Work makes free” — the ultimate irony at a place where the only freedom was found in death. The people who ran the camp found pleasure in that statement.
Propaganda shapes the mind and the soul, and exposure to it inevitably blunts the edge of moral outrage, and, over time, numbs the conscience. The power of language is something that is forever underestimated. Reformations and revolutions are started and sustained by one thing – eloquent speakers expounding clear ideas; the same is true whether the idea is democratic, communist, or reactionary.

Comment by Jay Randal — June 18, 2006 @ 12:18 am
I was there in 1998. It was so haunting that the images are engrained in my mind as if I were just there yesterday. It’s one thing to see it – in the documentaries or in movies or book – but it’s very much another to experience it.
We arrived on a steely grey moring with a group of college students. They were chatty until we all entered the gates, and then, silence. It makes you go speechless, because words are inadequate, and in some aspects inappropriate.
I walked through the museum, outside the “Macht” gate, into the barracks, through the showers where they poisoned people, and peered into the cold, but still ash-laden crematory ovens. It changed my life forever.
I agree with you both – it’s a place not to be missed. As a history forgotten becomes one repeated…

Says the freakshow awake at 3:00 am to read a blog. You’re the one who keeps bringing up beling lonely. Clearly it is you who is desperate and lonely. What happened, run out of quarters for the 900 hotlines?
June 18th, 2006 at 10:12 amGood Morning Unbelievable…………Here’s hoping you have a great day…..I see often, you have more patience with bad mouthed, mean spirited young people than I do. Knocking others with out cause and attacking someone just to pick a fight is a bully mentality I don’t have the time or patience for. Using smears on an individule with out cause is a typical of the right winged mentalety.. I save my bad mouthing for the politicians that diserve it , sadly I wish they were here and would respond so I could pick the fights and ask the hard questions……..It is good to be back, this sight has given me much good info from many good posters and linked me up to lot’s of good sites……..Blessings
June 18th, 2006 at 10:32 amGood Morning Sharon,
Oh, they are just target practice. Helps to understand the motivations and expectations of the neo-cons so we know how to handle them in the political arena. I don’t take any of them seriously. Look at them – how can they be taken for anything more than a lot of self-serving cry babies?
They are dirty fighters. Must’ve been the folks who coined the term ‘alls fair in love and war’, since they are the ones condemnig liberals while cheating on their spouses, their taxes, and live in general.
I’ve been both a conservative and a liberal, and I have to say, this side is much better.
Hope you enjoy your day!
June 18th, 2006 at 10:58 amAScholar=unbelievable:
You do lie compulsively.
June 18th, 2006 at 11:43 amCome clean,you will feel better.
For you to say that you’ve only posted as ‘unbelievable’ is utterly false and you know it.
Why not cut and paste where I said ‘anyone can smell that vain and self-serving moniker she crowns her own head with’?
Are you afraid your buddies will figure out the truth about you?
Tonight is Sunday night,lonely lady,and I guess you’ll be having a love affair with Stalin this time.
No,sorry,my bad;instead of Stalin,I should have said Napoleon.
June 18th, 2006 at 11:52 amProve it.
June 18th, 2006 at 1:12 pmBack at ya Unbelievable……….Just a thought. Ron White, the comedian has a skit he does about “you can’t fix stupid”,,,,,I know you are a teacher with great patience, but some times that little quote may be useful in dealing with mindless parasites like the one that show up here from time to time….Like I said, just a thought……..enjoy…….Blessings
June 18th, 2006 at 1:22 pmIt’s ironic that Coulter looks underfed, but has the busiest piehole east of the Mississippi.
June 18th, 2006 at 1:43 pm# 122 unbelievable:
The proof is in the pudding,and you know it,and are busted.
June 18th, 2006 at 3:19 pmAny dim-wit with half a brain can see you were fondling Adolf on a lonely Saturday night.
Any dim-wit,I should say,except Sharon Cox.Oh,and Sharon,she[unbelievable] is not a teacher-that’s been proven.She is a con-artist,Honey.
,
Prove it.
Innocent until proven guilty, and you’ve proven nothing except that you don’t know what in the hell you are blathering about.
Why would I lie about being a teacher? If I were gonna lie it would be something impressive, since that is why people like you lie – to impress. If you think my life is impressive, you really need to get one….
June 18th, 2006 at 10:15 pmObviously, Seixon suffers from severe sleep deprivation syndrome. Based on the time stamps of its postings, it gets from about one to one and a half hours of sleep per 24 hour period. I must admit that this observation is based on only three days of postings and requires more analysis. Of course, we must allow for the possibility that it sleeps between posts which are issued at random.
June 18th, 2006 at 11:02 pm# 127:
Walt,you are a sellout.I thought you knew better.
Why suck up to unbelievable?
Though I disagree with Seixon politically,he totally blew her out of the water on the solar temp.debate.
As for you,unbelievable,my point is that it was IMPOSSIBLE that you had gainful employment during daylight hrs. during March,April,May according to your blogging records.
June 19th, 2006 at 2:14 amIf you were teaching,as you claim,and blogging during ‘in between time’,why didn’t you take the time to,oh say maybe,counsel a troubled student,or at the very least talk with your fellow teachers?
You know,a little human interaction.But no,you wanted to curl up with your computer.
Either of your rationalizations,you lose.
I love how the unemployed vile factory wants to give me pointers on what is and what isn’t acceptable behavior. That’s rich. The venomous hate monger thinks there is only one way to live – yor way – and no one else is allowed to be valid or real if they deviate.
It is none of your business how I live my life. Or what I do with my time. Just because you can’t multitask doesn’t mean others aren’t very good at it. And you hang around here more than I do – even if you don’t post – so stop being such a hypocrite.
And, your examples are assinine. You don’t ‘council’ kids infront of the class. It’s degrading. It’s why you find them after school and talk to them – if they are willing. You clearly do not understand teenagers. It shows in your absurd suggestions.
I suggest, yet again, that you worry about your own life. From what you’ve demonstrated here, you are need serious councilling yourself. And a hobby. Something that you can control. Because I am not available for you to manipulate.

The real question is:
June 19th, 2006 at 1:35 pmHow long will you mom let you stay there without paying rent?
My mother is dead.
June 19th, 2006 at 2:06 pmIt seems to me that you’ve spoke of your mom in the present tense.
If 131 is the case,then,I’m sorry.
June 19th, 2006 at 2:11 pmOh come on, you’re not capable. Make fun of that.
Make fun of my father being an angry and abusive alcoholic who got cancer when I was 15 and suffered for 12 horrible years before dying from it.
Make fun of my dead nephew, too. He was an infant.
And while you’re at it make fun of my bestfriend committing suicide a few years ago.
Go ahead – nothing is beneath you. You are despicable.
June 19th, 2006 at 2:43 pm# 133:
I did no such thing as ‘make fun’ of your father.
June 20th, 2006 at 1:32 amI pointed out the disparaging remarks,and disrespect you showed your father to the whole world.
And I can see you’re still doing that to this day.Things like that you should keep to yourself.
I guess you forgot,after I had made my point,that I left off commenting about your attitude toward your father.A conversation mostly you and I only saw.
Just go hide in the back of your closet by yourself.
The only reason people seek help for the things they’ve endured in life is because other people spoke up about their experiences. Its’ why women have support groups for being battered wives. Why alcoholics have support groups and why children of those alcoholics have support systems. Because people like me are brave and confident enough to speak out.
But I’m sure you’re just prefer to live in your own little delusion where people hide their secrets and everyone pretends that incest and rape and self-mutilation don’t exist. Be quiet about being gay, or being ill, or being impotent. You’d just like that make-believe little fantasy wouldn’t you?
You’re so delusional. Seek medical help. You really have problems with the fact that reality is neither fair nor is everydaya sunny day with butterflies and picnics. Life can be difficult at times and if we as humans don’t support one another – what’ the point?
Try to get along Sybil. No one takes seriously aroungd here. And no one agrees with you. The only one you hurt with your little temper tantrums and vitriol is YOURSELF.
June 20th, 2006 at 9:09 am# 135 unbelievable:
When you finally explode from your internal conflixion,please give fair warning so we can get out of your way.
June 20th, 2006 at 10:25 amYou read me wrong. I’m very dry and to the point, but quite calm. The last time I had a massage she said that I didn’t have any tension in my body, and compared to most people who walk in all twisted and tense, I didn’t have any knots anywhere. Meditation helps. You should try it.
But, you know, take your own advice. You’re the one on the verse of a serious melt-down.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:40 pmWhen,really,do you have a chance to meditate ?
June 20th, 2006 at 4:13 pmWhen you are running your mouth incessantly on T.P.?
Sounds like inner peace to me.
I’m only here when I’m working on the computer for my new program in the Fall, and at night after dinner. That’s not incessantly. http://www.dictionary.com
You must really be misreable to be so hateful. Don’t you ever do anything except complain and lament that fact that other people are happy? You really should get a hobby. Maybe two. To catch up for not having anything for the last couple of months except obsessing over my life.
June 20th, 2006 at 9:56 pm# 139:
Maybe I should make my hobby sitting behind my computer at home all day.
June 21st, 2006 at 2:04 amYea,that’s the ticket,just like you,and you do seem so very happy.
I thought only shut-ins did that,but I’ll give it a try first chance I get.
Thanks for the advice;you’re not so mean after all.
