  1. Wilson was the one that "outed" his wife in the Who's Who. It was common knowledge among journalists, and advertised by themselves in vanity fair. The intelligence committee in the senate found Wilson's accusations against the administration to be false, except that he was correct that SH had indeed sought the yellow cake as had been reported earlier by a UN investigation. It was not just that they concluded SH wanted it, he sought it from sources in Africa. Wilson confirmed that in his report, but then went on to make allegations found to be false by the senate. It has also been confirmed that Plame was indeed the one that got Wilson assigned the task of doing the investigation, apparently so he would have the opportunity to make allegations against the admin - later shown to be false. The woman that wrote the Intelligence act says she thinks that Libby was not guilty of breaking that law. David Boies (Gore's 2000 election lawyer) can't understand why the special prosecutor didn't stop when he found out Armitage was the leaker of the not so secret info. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. It wasn't a crime. The special prosecutor knew that, and knew that Armitage had been the one that told Novak long before anyone testified before anybody.

  3. Just calling it pathetic is pathetic, and a fine example of a pathetic logical fallacy. Every single bit of what you call pathetic is true and highly relevant, all of it. She wasn't a covert agent, and she wasn't secret. Both at the same time. Don't you think that is important, as it was the nature of the original investigation, and the person that divulged her not secret identity of not being a secret agent was known to the special prosecutor long before any testimony was taken before the grand jury. Of course the administration went after Joe Wilson. He was doing a hit job, made possible because his wife recommended him for the job of going to Niger to investigate - where he did actually admit SH was seeking the yellow cake. Ignoring all of that is pathetic. The fact that the grand jury wasn't allowed to hear that is pathetic. The fact that a juror admitted to wanting Rove prosecuted is pathetic. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  4. Wilson confirmed that SH was trying to get the cake. She was not a covert agent as required for her 'outing' to be a crime per the intelligence act. She had outed herself. She did recommend her husband to go to Niger on the mission. Even David Boies (Gore lawyer after 2000 election) says that the special prosecutor knew Libby did not leak Plame's identity, and that there was no need for the questioning of Libby. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  5. According to some he can't even put his pants on without help. How could he possibly be giving Condaleeza talking points? Dubbya got better grades at the same college as Kerry.

  6. Leaking classified information is illegal, regardless of how many people already have the information. Then Plame herself and Joe Wilson should be found guilty of leaking the info themselves. That fancy acronym of a law that supposedly was violated requires the person doing the leaking to know it is classified. That was not the case. The jury was prevented from hearing such evidence. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  7. Wilson deserved criticism for what he did. Novak asked, "why did Wilson, a critic of the admin, go on the trip?" the answer was because his wife recommended him. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  8. Yes, he should be pardoned. The leak wasn't even an illegal act - the information already was common knowledge among many journalists. I have read about how it has become clear that Wilson's wife did indeed recommend him for the trip. It has also been recently reported that Joe Wilson and his wife (Plame, the not-so-secret CIA agent) had an agenda he wanted to support - discrediting Bush. There was no violation of the agents cover, and it turns out that what was said to discredit Wilson's findings is true. So, now that the only charges left are related to perjury which is hard to distinguish from bad memory, how is this different from Ken Starr's much maligned prosecution of Clinton? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  9. I understand that you consistently enjoy mocking others rather than engaging in discussion about the issues. It is still communicating. Absolutely wrong. Why do you assume the two are mutually exclusive? Some would argue they are sure that humans aren't to blame, so they would refuse to reduce greenhouse gasses, but that is not me. Both are the right thing to do. Perhaps our contribution to warming is 10% instead of 90%. That is a big difference when forecasting the likely success of reversing the warming by Kioto style changes. Those that refuse to accept the possibility that warming can't be reversed by the best efforts of humans are the ones with their head in the sands. OK, they aren't the only ones in the sand, but they are right in there with them. There, now that was a start at communication. Without the mockery, it is whole lot less fun for you, but more interesting for many others.

  10. Apparently Sunpath thinks a senior rigger can't be trusted to take care of the velcro and such when removing an RSL. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  11. I don't give them Kudos at all. What is it about the removal of the RSL that is so tricky it requires a master rigger? This will ground many jumpers and cause them a lot of grief to get in the air again. Many airworthiness directives applied to airplanes allow a significant period of time for the inspection/repair/whatever to happen. I think it quite unreasonable for Sunpath to enforce it immediately. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  12. It's fun to watch you two fight against an imaginary adversary The sad part is you seem to be losing. Why do you keep communicating with me? You said it was impossible? I think you know I'm not an extremist, that I'm fairly reasonable and thoughtful. I think you are too, so let's try to look at it this way... Some want immediate and far-reaching measures to be taken to limit the human impact on global warming, because of the certain consequences as the warming continues. This relies on the confidence that when the human impact is reduced, that global warming will stop. What if the human contribution is much less than figured? It won't matter if all the nations (including China) cut their emissions of greenhouse gases per Kioto, the warming would continue. If that is the case, we should realize it, and devote ourselves to adapting, as ugly a prospect as that might be. Then, those that would "deny" the possibility of human contribution being small would be contributing to the danger, by their confidence that global warming can be reversed by human intervention. I think it better to stop attacking those that continue to doubt the human involvement in this problem. We really do need to be sure. I've said many times that I think we should boycott importing oil from unfriendly countries. This would definitely raise the price, and allow the USA to lead in new technology spurred by the new reality of the price of energy. I really do believe that it can be a greater economic good to intentionally wean ourselves from oil before it runs out. The change in the politics of the mideast would make it worthwhile by itself. Use oil as a weapon against them, for a change. I'm not an enemy of changing our ways from our oil dependent ways. I just think we shouldn't be so sure that we know how to reverse or stop global warming.

  13. Damn it! Stop arguing with the 'consensus'! It is settled, it is happening, it is severe, and it is the almost all the fault of humans! Shit like this really gets in the way of the agenda! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  14. Uh, that was not clear at all from your post. The implication was that O'Reilly was to be taken as seriously as Colbert. I understand that many do feel that way, so it was not unreasonable for me to think you did also.

  15. Sunpath should have required that the rig comply by the next repack, or within a month, or something. That kind of customer service will turn off both past and future customers. Given the many iterations of their "official" statements, I predict they will modify this one also (I hope for their sake). People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  16. It was the, "even though they say nearly identical things" part of it that is wrong. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. I don't understand the "pie wagons" part of that. The rest is pretty good. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  18. O'Reilly deserves a LOT more credit than that. I think you're showing that you have blinders on if you can't admit that. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  19. Arguer: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. Man looking for argument: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on! Arguer: (Hums) Man looking for argument: Look, this is ridiculous. Arguer: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid! Man looking for argument: Oh, all right. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  20. Yes, Coulter has made outrageous, stupid statements. But so has Michael Moore, and James Carville, and Noam Chomsky, and so has Cynthia McKinney...but they don't get as much criticism. Michael Moore made outrageous lies in his Farenheit 911 movie, but the N.Y. Times called it, "The best film Michael Moore has made so far, a powerful and passionate expression of outraged patriotism" instead of criticizing it for being full of lies. Here are 59 deceits in Moore's movie - perhaps there is a site that shows such examples of lies in Coulter's book: http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm Coulter is a bitch. I hate Michael Moore, James Carville, Cynthia McKinney, Bill Maher, Noam Chomsky... People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  21. Maher did lament the fact that Cheney wasn't killed in the recent bombing attack. When I have watched his show, I remember him being quite full of hate, not giving the conservatives much time to express themselves before being ridiculed for their 'obvious to libs' stupid positions. So, just to be fair to the bitch Coulter, I find Maher to be a dickhead! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  22. I hate Bill Maher! He is so aggressively mean, and hateful towards anyone that doesn't believe exactly what he does, and it pisses me off. There are plenty of people out there who have the same bigoted and mean opinions as he does but few out there would voice them so publicly and so directly as him. I did admit that I think Coulter is a bitch. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  23. I was just wondering if this is a familiar scam. I wish I could do a reverse scam on them! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  24. But she hasn't made that claim. I think her opponents are justified to attempt to make the case that her thesis still represents her political philosophy. Perhaps Hillary can easily disprove that, perhaps not. If a conservative candidate had written a thesis advocating the same principles as Milton Friedman, I think their liberal opponents would use it against them to show extremism, it wouldn't matter how long ago it was written. I think that is fair. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

    Falafel

    Definitely no need to deep fry it, although pan frying in a bit of butter/margarine is really good. I find it a little strong by itself. I have 'diluted' it with wheat germ or other dry fake burger mixes to reduce its strength.
