    Prez, where are you?


    Here!!!!!

    Sorry for the unresponsiveness - it's a long, sad story...

    Anyway, I'm trying to reach Marc for verification, but I'd like to perform our fleet action on Sunday. (Saturday would be fine, too.)

    It will be option 2 - System Supremacy in Treas.

    I have yet to speak with Krasus, but if anyone is in contact with him, let him know. Thanks.

    I'll make an official fleet order once I have it confirmed.

    It is quite possible that the incident was orchestrated ...

    I believe this is exactly what happened. There was a similar case at a campaign rally when Bush was running in 2000. He called a reporter from the NYT (I think) a "grade-A @$$hole".

    People in this country believe strongly in a person's right to privacy, even the President's. This is one of the biggest reasons Clinton was largely given a pass by the American public for his perjury - it was pertaining to a very personal subject.

    Bush is a lot smarter than most people think - he's just not that good at improv speaking. Actually, he's awful at it. However he is smart enough to utilize things like this to his advantage; in this case to say stuff without really "saying" it officially.

    His approval rating will probably go up.

  3. Israel can't win? WTF? How is it they are still even a nation with ancient bitter barbaric enemies on all sides? Israel re-wrote the book on how to kick @$$. I'm absolutely thrilled that the world (and more importantly, Americans) will now witness how a war against murdering thugs is supposed to be fought; and how one is decisively won. Watch and learn, world. Israel responds with overwhelming force, mercilessly, with no regard for the pansy peace-nik appeasement wimps who would have had us enslaved by the Islamo fascists long ago. As it should be. If you aren't one who is comfortable around cold, stark clarity in unwavering pursuit of a moral purpose, watching Israel in the next few weeks is going to make you squirm.

    Thank God for Israel.

  4. Government hypocricy illustrated:

    Smoking is bad for you, so we'll tax it, tax it, and tax it some more. We'll award massive suit settlements to states that have a huge number of residents with tobacco-related illnesses, and we'll force business owners to comply with OUR stipulations on how they are to operate their places of business in this supposedly "free" country.

    But, if the government is SO set on protecting Americans from the "evils" of smoking and big tobacco, and their motives are pure and noble, wouldn't it follow logically that smoking should be banned altogether?

    Oh, that's right - I forgot. That would cause the government to lose the absolutely MASSIVE amount of revenue that they collect through taxes on tobacco sales. Does anyone REALLY think that the government approaches this from anything other than a monetary (read: greedy) perspective?
