    Debate (well, Hopefullly just a polite discussion): The Third Rail

    Bush is considering the Disduck plan of raising payroll taxes on those making more than $90,000 per year. See http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050216/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_4 The Disduck plan would help make the payroll taxes less regressive and more progressive which is a good result.

    Fake Whitehouse Reporter resigns (bush pays reporters to ask easy questions??)

    You really are clueless about the lies told by Bush to justify this war. It is very sad. First, Bush lied about the UAVs stating that they were being used to deliver chemical and biological weapons Even the quote you provided from the censored ISG report shows that this is a lie. The...

    Fake Whitehouse Reporter resigns (bush pays reporters to ask easy questions??)

    Bet Your reading comprehension needs some work. The title is accurate in that there are questions about what Bush gave to Gannon to get such favorable questions at press conferences. Given that the Gannon incident occured at the same time that it has been discovered that the Bush...

    Fake Whitehouse Reporter resigns (bush pays reporters to ask easy questions??)

    Sodaseller I agree with your analysis. The quote from the ISG does not support Teejay's position at all. The story or lie used to sell the Iraq was that Iraq had UAVs which could reach the US and deliver chemical or biological weapons. Bush made these claims knowing that the Air Force had...

    Fake Whitehouse Reporter resigns (bush pays reporters to ask easy questions??)

    The Senate Committee as noted by another poster does not hold up. Lets look at Ambassador Wilson's response to your article. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56501-2004Jul16.html As noted above, Ari admitted that the SOTU was inaccurate and that Wilson was correct. The...

    I'm in shock. Star Trek Enterprise is being canceled.

    You got to be kidding. This was very weak. The concept of devoting the entire season to one set of villians did not work here

    Galveston Texas

    Galveston can be fun. There are some nice restaraunts on the seawall and Moody gardens are nice. The beaches are okay but the water in this part of the gulf is very dirty with low visibility.
