    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    Now that is what I call spin! War on Iraq is now revolutionary, hmmm according to dictionary.com 7. (Politics) A fundamental change in political organization, or in a government or constitution; the overthrow or renunciation of one government, and the substitution of another, by the...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    There is a serious lack of hype or spin in my previous post. What I'm stating are facts, conservative projections and at the end, my 4 word opinion. If the bush doctrine is to succeed then the commitment will have to be long term and will involve tens of billions of dollars. Americans are...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    Ok, so no WMDs have been found although ~40% of Americans think they have been and 74% don't care if they are. gw's job approval rating is at 62% and falling, expected to reach 50% by mid summer (all stats courtesy of gallup.com) 140,000 troops are in Iraq and there is no timetable for their...

    You gotta give it a little time, it worked fine for me when I clicked on it again in Safari. The page is blank for awhile AND the address is UNhighlighted. If you're on a slow connection, I would give it about a minute or so. It's worth it though...

    Yes, a nice cold beer would be good about now. I'm too lazy to go to the store so I came here. Thanks Arden and congrats! Now for the evening's entertainment (it sort of ties in with what Androo is up to) Drum roll....... http://www.divstivs.plus.com/iconwar/

    I violated the embargo for pure pleasure

    That's funny, ever since this idiotic campaign started I have intentionally searched for and bought as many French and German products that I can find. The irony of couse, is that food manufactured by a German or French company might well be owned by an American one and vice versa. All the...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    The news coming out of Iraq about mass graves and bodies with hands tied behind their back and bullets in the backs of their heads is appalling. Few Iraqis will miss Saddam or the Baathists. It was easy to gloss over the brutality of his regime, now the truth is out. I rejoice with the Iraqis...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Habilis, I've just been reading a fair amount about the emigrant experience in America and a couple of interesting points came up. 1. The "heartland" is where the majority of German immigrants settled. 2. Some of the most liberal areas, ie Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington state and...

    Osama, Saddam, WMD's and the 2004 election

    The American public has so bought into the myths that gw has created that I wonder if they will be able to accept that he lied. The American press is finally starting to question this issue although there are an appalling number of articles and editorials that are saying it doesn't matter...

    Strong European strategy for Apple

    Non-US sales make up almost half of Apple's sales. Japan, UK, France, Germany are the largest customers. I agree with your assessment, Apple needs to secure its overseas market just like it is doing with its domestic market. The ad campaign, new stores and education are all important.

    crazy school stuff

    Wuthering Heights is a good read but I can't imagine why you would have to read it in high school. As a matter of fact, you must go to a fairly liberal school, Wuthering Heights deals with some pretty strong topics. I don't remember much about Frankenstein the book, but I can't imagine why...

    Digital Pictures [has example pictures - 56k modem warning]

    I forgot to put the Smart Media card in my still camera before I left home but had brought my mini dv with me. It has photo capabilities but it's not the best quality. I like the picture though because the fuzziness of the camera echoed the fuzziness of the heather and the glaucous leaves on...

    The colors are amazing, Gia! and it really captures the velvety texture of the petals. Very cool.

    Excellent iPod/iTunes review.

    The Age article about iPod. Well written review. Touts the ability of the iPod to hold dozens of albums and the instantaneous access to them without having to search thru sweater drawers and wonder why Meat Loaf is filed next to Smetana!

    When you want to see the the new iPod and drive 600 miles to see it and justify it by saying you were going to visit your brother even though you only spent a couple of hours with him!
