I guess at this point, running for office as a Democrat qualifies as an act of treason.

Time to redefine terrorist,
Terrorist= a bad person we don’t like.
Freedom fighter= a bad person we do like.

Sort of similar to how the most partriotic and heroic thing an American can be is a soldier in our armed services, unless you run for office as a Democrat in which case you are a war criminal.

Excellent question. At least my beloved Florida is trying to figure out some way to provide safe haven for an international terrorist who released FBI documents indicate helped blow an airliner out of the sky, killing 273 people. Of course, it was a Cuban airliner, the first act of airliner terrorism on this side of The Pond.
Perhaps the Yellow Rose will award the guy a pardon and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

What’s the bet that Bennetton uses Saddam’s candid shots in an advertising campaign?

Oh - and what’s the bet all this good-natured humiliation backfires just a little bit?

Did it feel like some kind of FBI intervention the first time you saw it? But since music and meaning is on the case, I am now at ease. Of course it could have been just free floating anxiety, since I’m on film somewhere in some probably long-forgotten film footage for daring to participate in the first Civil Rights march at the University of Florida. I waved at the bastard, an Alachua County deputy who was filming away (maybe it was just for home movies…)

Of course, that was in the glory days of the pre-professional counseling office at UF sending evaluation forms to one’s instructors which included a question about whether or not one showed any signs of communist leanings or affiliations (I am not lying). Oh, the good old days of it just being locally-based, amateur assaults on our civil liberties.

I just spotted the “Protected by WP-Hashcash,” which makes the whole thing cyber-innocent again.

Below is the Hashcash message I usually get when I try to post, and I can’t seem to figure out how to solve the problem from my end. I’m usually on AOL, and I know they are sometimes difficult to deal with when it comes to these sorts of things. Any suggestions are certainly welcome.
Thanks.

I agree, Adam’s impression of Satan suffering through an area code error of cosmic proportions was wonderful.

Does anyone remember what the address of the house that was given to Reagan when he left office was changed to? How ironic if they changed it from 666 to 616…

A. Winning 1 1/2 times
B. Making me laugh diet coke through my nose with his impression of a lonely Satan waiting by the telephone.
