    WTF?! Does anyone else here see the hypocrisy in this? Georgia breaks away from the former Soviet Union and looks to the West for help in asserting their right to self-determination. But when two provinces in Goergia attempt to exercise their own self-determination by breaking away, Georgia tries to take…

    WilliB,

    I made the assumption from the content of other posters' contributions that we were all relatively intelligent adults, undaunted by posts that are, ahem, too long. Apparently, I was mistaken. I'm sorry I didn't truncate my post to short little snippets and semi-clever "zingers" to make it easier for…

    It's definitely outdated, as it should be. But I don't necessarily see it as a sign of the decline of manners, respect, and Western Civilization.

    The premise that a woman needs to sit more so than a man because she simply lacks the physical stamina to stand for long periods…

    A few comments:

    WilliB,

    The reason many here are doubting this story is that it does not make sense, plus the local police have quite a history of extracting confessions.

    No confessions were extracted. The subway worker said and still maintains that while he did take her to the lounge,…

    Helter_Skelter,

    The Alaskans I mentioned are associates I work with who happen to be from, as I said, Alaska. They aren't bloggers, media types, or political advocates, if that's your concern. They're just two regular folks who pointed out that their governor is currently in the midst of an ethics…

    Whitehawk,

    Palin quit before the FBI/IRS investigation into corrupt Republican leadership in Alaskan politics. Her reason for walking away from her responsibilities as Ethics Supervisor was because fellow commissioner Randy Ruderich, of all things, used office equipment for personal business. Unethical? Yes. A giant boo-yah to corruption in Alaska? I…

    Palin's qualifications as a running mate for a candidate who is the oldest to ever seek the office of president (he would be two years shy of 80, were he to serve a full term, and 82 if he were to serve a consecutive term) certainly seems less than impressive,…

    EVERY US presidential campaign generates vitriol from both sides. It's the nature of people and politics.

    Although, “I want another test . . . at a hospital I can trust" sounds suspiciously like he wants the opportunity to find a facility that will be more inclined to", say, produce more favorable results, with, of course, the proper motivation?

    In any case, perhaps this is the magic…

    Sure. Athenian democracy was great . . . as long as you weren't female, a slave, or in debt. ;)

    Yeah, I'll give a thumbs-up for what the Scandanavians seem to have accomplished. Not too shabby, regardless (or perhaps because of) of the higher taxes.
