You mentioned Springsteen, not me. Although I do think it was shameless of Kerry to support some of the hateful stuff some celebrities came up with at one fundraising event. If you can find the quote anywhere that i specifically spoke against Springsteen, i'll give you half a point on this one. But...

I didn't say it wasn't close, but that given the circumstances (which Clinton didn't have the second time around) where the stakes were higher. Don't tell me that running against Dole and Perot the second time around was harder than running against Kerry and protesters with a war on. It was a highl...

I'll indulge in this awkward and silly excercise, though the President is not even quite half way through his second term. In early 2004, an informal survey of 415 historians conducted by the nonpartisan History News Network found that eighty-one percent considered the Bush administration a "f...

April 19, 2006 Rumsfeld Staying Put By Tom Bevan Yesterday afternoon, both the Secretary of Defense and the President made it clear: Don Rumsfeld is staying put. This is good news. For days I've been trying to wrap my head around the idea suggested by some that public support for the war in Iraq wo...

Elliot was okay, but it didn't get any sincerity from it. He sang it fine, but (maybe it's just me) but he seemed unable to focus his attentions on the audience when he sang. That is where I think Simon got his "personality" thing from. Presence is important. Paris and Katharine were the ...

You're quite right. Partly. I don't think that getting up on a stage or ranting on a TV show is appropriate for celebrities. But if they are asked for their opinion, I think it's ok to say what they think. This is so, as long as name-calling isn't involved. I think George Clooney has every right to...

The election proved that our side was right, blah blah blah, because 52% of less than half all registered voters voted for Bush blah-blah Someone hasn't been paying attention. Bush won the election based on a number of factors, few of which had to do with support for his war policies. Both of you m...

I sympathize, but obviously not everyone feels the same way, since there have been many who have re-enlisted for duty in Iraq. The whole question of WMds and why we went to war was debated in the 2004 election or does no one remember this? It's not as if these same issues weren't being raised then ...

Sonic, you miss a key point here. The U.S. intelligence gives the gov't its info and they take what credibility the info has and use it to make its case in any scenario. Their rationale is that it is better to be wrong about the little details than to not do anything and be wrong on the big ones (i...
