And I am in no position to refute your feelings based on experience.

All I was attempting to do was to draw what I thought is a valid distinction between Catholics and the corporate Catholic Church. And I think that's what RED was attempting to do, as well.

SPUD -
A mixed bag of agreement and disagreement. I think the war was heavily covered, not only during its first few months (remember that deck of cards showing the most wanted?).

The drumbeat continued as the press pummeled Bushco with daily death tolls as the press served as the Dem party public relations dept.

I think the story has died down - for that matter much of the criticism of our involvement in the middle east - precisely because the press has its guy in the White House.

Another factor is the healthcare debate and the ravaged economy - a couple of huge ongoing domestic stories which didn't occupy our radar screen back in the good ol' days of heavy Iraq fighting :-)

LISA-
I suspect RED's talking about Catholics he's encountered and not the corporate Catholic church.

Particularly when he says, "...are now suspect for similar sexual dysfunction and predation as we know of in other positions of authority such as the Catholic Church." (My emphasis)

How long till we're debating whether advocacy ads should be allowed?

AU-
To what do you attribute the relative lack of media coverage of this 'anniversary?'

Whenever I look my "dear in the headlights" I'm fixin to give her the best 30 seconds of her life. Yessir.

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

"...men who go bald by 30 appear to be less likely to develop prostate cancer"

Didn't stop me from getting it. I think family history plays a bigger role than anything else. My father had it, my mom's father had it, my dad's brother had it...

Nothing like taking a good pole, I say...

But I think LET had split by the time I got there, so I couldn't properly acknowledge him...

I missed that. Good one, LET. I defer...

OK, the body and not the summary. I'll try that next time.

GOAT-
Did you miss my latest - and maybe best - pun? Look at my posting history... from yesterday... on the banana robber.

I give up. I pasted the embed URL into the "Link" box... and that got rejected. So I pasted the embed URL into the "Summary" box and got the results you see.

So where, exactly, should I paste the embed URL from that video?

Word is he'll get out on appeal.

The dude was baked... and nearly was the kid.

Willlllburrrrrrrr

No secret is safe for long in Washington. For something the magnitude of a 9/11 to be executed...

I mean, there are so many people who'd have to be involved in such a plot. And surely some of those either directly or indirectly involved would have tons and tons of evidence or expert testimony to refute Dubya's storyline.

J.D. presents primary voters with a choice. It'd be quite a referendum on McCain if he couldn't even win his home state's primary just a couple of years after being his party's POTUS candidate. Reminds me of a certain guy from Connecticut.

And just like with Lieberman it wouldn't surprise me to see McCain run as an Indy if he loses the primary.

My dad had people say he resembled Graves, mostly due to the hair style and color. Enjoyed the old Mission: Impossible shows. Same for Airplane.

I'd like to weigh in on this...

Her food bill exceeds $800 a week. Men pay to watch her eat junk food.

I saw this article earlier today and told Mrs Oohrah about it over dinner. She stared at me in disbelief when I told her the boyfriend was a "belly man."

I guess everyone needs a goal to work toward. Can't say this would be on the top of my list. Maybe she's angling for a reality show.

Any suggestions for a show title?

I'm out for the night, AU. Got my K-Y, my "Young Republican Pages" magazine and a flashlight. Catch you later.

Why not pro-life?

It's a matter of marketing/public relations/semantics. Would you prefer your side to be "pro abortion?" If not, does that mean you're "anti-abortion?" Semantics. Public relations.

You've created a strawman. Pro-life has an accepted meaning in today's culture. To bastardize it and thereby morph it to bash any spending policy which supports your aims... is, well, disingenuous.
