Yes, that's my prediction. Probably wrong, but I'll put it out there. I think that Cheney planned all along to put Lieberman in the job as soon as possible after he was re-elected, so that they could flip his seat Republican. I also think that Lieberman was in on it.

Came across this wonderful defense of Haggard. We should be applauding him, apparently. See how easy it is to turn vice into virtue? I also love this bit... Yes, because all homosexuals support drugs and postitution.

...of osama bin laden and the 19 hijackers defeating the US's defense system, including the government insiders, military departments and intelligence and security agencies...? To name a few... NSA FBI DIA CIA NIC DOD NORAD USAF NEADS FAA INS DEA CT DS I'd say 100 million to 1.

That's the title of this yahoo story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060424/ap_on_re_us/moussaoui_8 Basically, the defense is arguing that since Moussaoui wants to be a matryr, giving him the death sentence will be giving him what he wants, which is bad, so the jury should sentence him to life...

Among the various scandals of the preceeding year was the trial of Richard Scrushy, accused of fraud involving billions in a health-care case. Unlike many other corporate defendants recently, Scrushy was aquitted. Seems he may have had some help. In a story reported in our local paper's...

Link. Not surprising. The former U.S. attorney general has a history of defending Muslim terrorists.

link This just floored me. I get that some of Saddam's lawyers have turned up dead recently, but 1100 attorneys have left his defense??? How many remain? How many lawyers does one person actually need? I mean the guy took over power in a bloodbath, suppressed free elections with violence...

Spawned by the events in France. If the police are unable to protect your property - your home, your car, your business - is it ethically justifiable to use deadly force to protect that property from someone who is trying to destroy it? I'm interested in seeing what the breakdown is by...

Has anyone ever heard of this? Christian Body Migraine Defense My normally very intelligent wife suffers occasionally from migraines and became interested in holistic ways to treat it. She says that some of the people that she talked with about migraines said that after years of taking...

I've got responses at last to my question about why homeopathy is promoted at Netdoctor.co.uk Interesting. There included one person who claims their cat would be dead without it. I'm sure Rolfe and BSM will find this interesting:

The link is to a story about a Congressman that sold his home for what appears to be an over inflated price to a defense contractor that then saw it's defense contracting business significantly increase. I'm surprised that the mainstream press hasn't picked up on this story yet...

Self taught missle defense expert, that is. Hell, there are at least a dozen regular posters here that fit that description. Still, I'm curious about what he does to earn money for defense consulting. Too many teats free for the suckling? Maybe the defense dept should hire the KISS Army to...

The children's death was a terrible tragedy, but can we fault the woman for trying to defend the puppy? I mean, c'mon! Puppies are so cute!!!

I've been giving this a great deal of thought, and may now state with certainity that God is not non-existent, or a figment of people's imaginations, he is just forgotten. By himself actually. One day he was looking at the mess of the world, and realizing he couldn't flood us again and drown...

This Mexican UFO story got me to thinking. Is there any kind of worldwide coordinating body for skeptics? When some big, splashy paranormal story like this UFO video pops up and is getting wide attention and a lot of acceptance as possibly "guenuine," is there any kind of coordinated...

It seems anti-vaccination folks don't like the people who crowned or support the idea of Manchausen syndrome by proxy. The anti-vax are saying that vaccines cause damage to babies; so assertion of Manchausen is a blow against them. http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/ Only, the idea of Manchausen...

I would just like to defend Howard Dean on two points. For the record, I think the dogpiling people did on him for his Iowa caucus third place speech was just horrible. Not only that, because every TV show played the clip it got worn out really quickly. I watched the speech live on TV and saw...

Wouldn't it be un-constitutional for there to be any sort of law preventing gay marriage? There are to arguments against it, neither one can really stand on its own and make a legitimate point though. First we have all sorts of religious texts. Now we can't put something into law because of...

CS SPRAY MAN FACES LEGAL ACTION Self defense is supposed to be legal, but CS/Pepper spray is illegal, as are other tools that would be useful for a disabled person. What the hell are they supposed to do? :confused: Does anyone else find this totally ridiculous?
