"Support the troops"

That's quite possibly the silliest thing I've read. Google is a gigantic research library, right at one's fingertips- if a quote or accusation gets posted, with no context attached, it gives one the opportunity to do some research and find out whether it's true, misquoted, or more sh*t made up by Bill O'Reilly.

I take it you don't like to read anything non-fiction, do you Pillowpants? Seeing as how factual books have to back up what they say with other facts- you know, that section in the back of the book that lists lots of other books. I think it's called a bibliography. I mean, if the author doesn't have the information placed in his or her head by God, then he or she must be condescending to the reader by trying to back up what he or she is saying with facts, right?

Or are you just trying to justify why you didn't study in high school with this whole ridiculous "parrot" thing? Though, of course, you might have been dating, unlike some of us.

God save us from people who think they're done learning at 18. Some of them, unfortunately, are now running the country.

By the way, I don't need no stinkin' search engine to articulate what I believe, but I'm the first to say there's lots and lots of things I don't know. And so I thank Al Gore for co-sponsoring the Information Infrastructure and Technology Act of 1992, which opened the internet to commercial traffic and now provides us with something to occupy our idle hours. Like googling "Al Gore invent internet true quote" Here's the link to Snopes:

Yet another misquote.

Though in bi-partisanship, I'll note Nixon never said he had a secret plan to end the Vietnam war, either.

Thanks for proving my point. Not once did you share your opinion in your previous post, that was just a google cluster**** of liberal proportions. Have a nice day.

Thats funny. I'm pretty sure there was commercial traffic in the mid 80's, or I was doing something illegal back when I was in school.

i don't think the war is included in that budget, but it was something i read the other day, so i'm not sure what all they had in it.
but rather than cut necessities, i'd like to cut all the pork. it's always a scare tactic, threaten women, infants, widows and vets--but hey, we need three more federally funded buildings that can be named after robert byrd (for instance).

[Danzig]

and now i read further down, and see that risk put up some stuff from the proposed budget.



why is it tho, that the house of reps can almost unanimously pass an earmarks/lobbyist bill, but can't even come close on the really and truly important things that need to be worked on?

my exit strategy goes through Iran
