Thanks so much for that link, Mike. I always wondered why the girls laughed when I asked if they wanted me to lay down the BigLaw.
What kind of law do the Republican National Lawyer's Association members specialize in?
..if people want to believe in creationism, which one would they choose? I don't know about you, but as a strong supporter of science and the theory of evolution, if I had to choose, I would pick the Hindu version or the Buddhist version, one where the world is carried into existence by a tortoise (hey, shout out to the tortoises of the Galapagos) and how existence is Buddha's dream. Very cool.
I would love to have that discussion at my local school board meeting if they ever considered all that intelligent design stuff.(I wanted to say, "..crap." but I'm trying to be fair and balanced here.)
I would like to think the world was carried in by a sea turtle, but I guess a tortoise will do.
That's my shout out to sea turtles. :)
The Pastafarians are deeply offended by you tortoise people.
Many of me shipmates know there is nothing better with Pasta
than a steaming bowl of turtle soup. Arrgh!
They have none, whatever their profession.
Glad you found Susan down in DeLay land, with her great warning, proving once again that Somebody Could So Too Have Anticipated. And thanks for the link.
They are introducing a bill to punish presidents or exec. branch officials who lie us into war...and only for EXISTING and FUTURE presidents!!!!
the fuckin nerve of these goddamn slimeballs!!!
they protect their precious bush administration, and now they pull this shit!
FUCK!!!!!
too late.
It's like they are making fun of us.
Goddamn bastards. I hope they get what's coming to them really FUCKING SOON!
don't take it personally.
You can be very tiresome with your comments...very tiresome indeed.
Why is a bill necessary for this? The way it is worded, aren't there already laws that prevent this and provide punishment? I thought the problem was we weren't following existing laws.
we already have the constitution.
the only thing it is necessary for is to give some odd post-presidential pardon to the president and his band of criminals.
holy crap, really?
i hadn't heard about this.
and--despite my near violent reaction to this--i must tip my hat to the pure political genius of this maneuver. granted it has been easy to outmaneuver the dems on nearly everything, this is well played by the GOP... never mind that it hurts america, is unpatriotic, and deeply insulting to the constitution and the country
It called ass covering. This is just to make the American public believe that there weren't laws already on the books that were broken. Laws against things like forging documents, manipulating intellegence reports, and domestic propaganda.
What we really need is a bill to punish members of Congress for trying to misslead the American people!!
Who gives a crap about the bedwetting, cry baby Reslug lawyers. They're losers!
Where's Bin Laden.

It isn't funny to make a joke about the guy who supposedly killed 3000 of our fellow countrymen. Glad you find humor in it now. Luckily our Country wasn't founded by people with that type of sense of humor.
Why aren't we as a country actively hunting for Bin Laden? Why isn't the media hounding this as Lou Dobbs hounded the immigration issue day after day.
Even though the NY Post calls it "satire"
seems pretty damn racist to me...

Even if Obama runs the faith-based program better than Bush (which wouldn't be hard), more fundamental issues remain, such as bias, or the agency's existence at all. The same goes for state secrets and revealing details of Bush's torture regime.
