After the Debates, I reviewed both CNN and Fox for their views. TIME/CNN admitted that both did well, giving each a rating of "B" in that neither made any major muck-ups, but neither truly outshone the other. Fox said republicans were breathing a sigh of relief that Palin didn't muck-up…

I won't count Palin out automatically. She will try to egg Biden into making an attack that she will say (later) is domineering and sexist. Biden's also known for his gaffes. If Palin can get him to throw one of those out, she'll be able to pick up the win.…

Bush noted that the maximum $700 billion in the proposed bailout was huge, but was dwarfed by the $1 trillion in lost wealth that resulted from Monday’s stock market plunge.

The difference to me is that the $700 billion WILL come from tax payers of all classes, including the very…

Fuji TV news also indicated that this place was used by men to watch videos in private... With a moderate amount of sound-proofing, likely they wouldn't even have noticed if a smoke-detector or fire-alarm had gone off.

JT says carbon-monoxide poisoning. very likely these guys didn't even realize they were…

Oh yeah, Japan is just the land of peace. There are no Japanese terrorists. No Japanese people would ever think of making a bomb or anything terroristic like that, would they? So how would Gov. Ishihara like to explain this guy? He was just making fireworks?

If foreigners need to…

4th defeat? Not so long ago, all the Asa fans were saying that he was going to come back from Mongolia and kick everyone's but-good. I must have missed something, maybe I blinked and the beating passed me by without my noticing it. I'm certainly not seeing it here.

You…

My two cents would say Chinese sub. North Korea may have HAD a few subs in the past, but I doubt they have the money or skills to keep them in top shape, and whatever they DO have left probably dates back to the Korean War... I would like to…

Interesting. Seems like female otaku. Where the male otaku dive into their figurines in order to avoid social interaction, these gals dive into their dolly-dresses to avoid men and avoid having to keep up with western fashion expectations.

Actually met one of these girls before, though I thought she was…

So what percentage of the babies have black or white parents? Or were there too few to count?

Agree with Buddha4brains. McCain's using a lot of "What If's" to point out all the bad possible endings.

Anyone can do that. We could say "If Senator McCain is elected to office, he will make yet another gaffe which will cause Iran and China to start nuclear wars to end…
