It's kind of hard to get excited over a 2,500 person protest over bush when the South Koreans busted out 80K strong over beef imports.

Betzee,

He probably shouldn't have been running around referring to himself as a "war president" then, huh?

A little thought can go a long ways…

FYI, I just referred to a higher up at my office as "Charisma Man" and a bunch of the Japanese Master Labor Contractors howled. I think it's going to stick. I'm liking this story more and more.

If this article is a snarky look at how many people generalize and reduce things to stereotypes, then it's pretty darn good. Purposeful irony and self-defacing humor and all that. If it was written with serious intent...wow.

I agree with DeepAir65, I cannot remember the last Olympics held in S. America. They should have their turn. Japan had the Nagano Olympics, the U.S. had Salt Lake City, Greece represented Europe while South America is batting a goose egg in my memory of recent Olympics.

redmeat, I see your point. How dare the SCOTUS apply human rights to human beings, regardless of their worth, and ask that the U.S. govt. obey it's own laws. The inhumanity of it all. I mean, really, it's almost like the SCOTUS WANTS us to be more moral than the…

At first when I looked at the picture, the workers looked like a weird Gandam robot. The two workers working on the bottom looked like legs, the one guy in the middle looks like the torso and three workers on top looked like the arms.

It could be that when…

Piggy-backing on Sez's post.

...and that the Constitution is something significantly more than a "Goddamn piece of paper."

when McCain has overwhelming support among members of the military.

And of course you have proof of this, right?

I guess they overwhelmingly support Sen. McCain but donate their money to Ron Paul and Sen. Obama.

From January 2007 through March of this year, service members or civilian employees of…

Sail, Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, Sen. McCain said it would be just the two of them. He failed to mention that he would be inviting a bunch of his supporters to the debate.

I reported at the top of this hour that the campaign had told us at fox…

Sez, Couldn't agree more. I'm not sure what a "real man" is where redmeatkoolaid is from but where I grew up, real men didn't say, "c'mon you wussie, me and my friends are going to kick your ass."
