Americans trying to help the Iraqis set up a justice system are frustrated by the Iraqi methods which include coersion, politically motivated prosecutions and poor evidence gathering.
The order by President Bush for the Navy to launch an antimissile interceptor to destroy a disabled satellite before it falls from orbit carries opportunity, but also potential embarrassment, for the administration and advocates of its missile defense program.
The decision was described by senior officials as designed solely to protect populated areas from space debris, and not to showcase how the emerging missile defense arsenal could be reprogrammed to counter an unexpected threat: in this case hazardous rocket fuel aboard the dead satellite.
Even so, the attempt, expected within the next two weeks, will again throw into sharp relief the administration’s antipathy to treaties limiting antisatellite weapons, which puts the United States opposite China and Russia, which just this week proposed a new pact banning space weapons.
I wanna know what drug this guy was on. Sometimes I wonder if the drugs that people take for psychological problems make things worse. I think these drugs are still experimental and they are experimenting on us!
The description of that guy sounded like he was probably bipolar.. There seem to be a lot of people who have huge mood swings .. The meds to treat it could cost one about $600 per month… kind of hard to be a poor bipolar college student.. :reaper: :reaper:
No movie today. I’m shooting for There Will Be Blood tomorrow and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on Monday. I had been hoping the U2 concert film would have made it here by now, but no such luck.
This is the New York State senate which has a Republican majority of 2. The state assembly is comfortably in Dem hands. Control of the senate means more than legislative victories. It means control of redistricting:
The Republicans are desperate to hang on to their two-seat majority in the Senate in November. But doing so relies on the staying power of an increasingly older bloc of senators, some with health problems and some with challengers a third their age.
Fifteen of the 32 Republican senators will be at least 65 by November. Seven will be at least 75.
Just watching “An Inconvenient Truth” again (in HD, of course). Y’all can be happy about “our choices” if you want, but, damn, this country really missed a great opportunity when it allowed SCOTUS to appoint Bush president 7 years ago. Imagine if President Gore were entering his ast year in office right now. How different the world would be.
Bushie has done a lot of damage. I find it mind boggling. He’s even damaged his own cause. I wonder if those SCOTUS Republicans wake up in a sweat every night.
Goood morning. Another :joe: and I should have my brains arranged better.

Gee, it’s as if they’ve taken Bushco methods as their own. How shocking.

Now I get it!
Shit, I can’t believe the weekend’s half over already.
Not for those of us who have Monday off!
:banana:
Yeah, I opted to work and get a day to use at another time. Earned a day for working last Tuesday, too, whatever the hell that was.

Lincoln’s actual birthday? Apparently your company gave Abe his birthday back instead of combining it with George’s.
I doubt Chimpy’s birthday will ever be a national holiday. The day he leaves office should be, though.

Well, my company is the great state of New York, so we get stuff like that. Hell, I even earn a day off for working on election day.

No need for movies with Syracuse sticking it to Georgetown in HD.
