Every one of them died because of the lies of the administration of President Bush.

How he sleeps at night is beyond me.

i think i've seen this movie before

is this the part where the mainstream clergy starts to get radicalized and do whacky stuff?

i got an irc pal going to college in catonsville, maryland, i told him about the Catonsville Nine raid on the Selective Service office, the Berrigan Brothers, he said Wow, he never even heard a rumor of it before

i don't mind bad times, i just wish they weren't an exact replay of earlier bad times

of course this is all different, ppl have cell phones now

Call the FBI! Somebody has been exposing Fox News Channel to Europeans via YouTube! This is a serious breach of Homeland Security!

I still don't know exactly what I think about God.

But videos like this sure solidify my feelings about Organized Religion. (I have mentioned de temps en temps my Feelings about your M. Jean Chauvin.) These whackos have been pulling this sick crap at military funerals for a few years.

But the church spokeswoman is a perfect love match for the Fox News Channel talking head. Murdoch's Fox News (Faux Noise) can match Sick Act for Sick Act with anybody.

Did you see the South Park episode where Satan was so unhappy at how evil his lover Sadaam Hussein was that he had to end the relationship?

I am happy to see that YouTube provides Europeans the opportunity to watch the finest moments of American life. Aren't you afraid of brain cancer?

Rent the movie "Videodrome," learn why you should stop watching YouTube. One of the main characters , Dr. Brian O'Blivion, is a thinly disguised Marshall McLuhan!

Alex, thanks for leaving your Comment (anonymous driveby though it is).

Forgive me, I haven't shot up my coffee or had my Vietnam-era LSD yet this morning, so I'm a little grumpy -- but of course not at you.

I hope you're sitting down and have your seatbelt buckled.

It worked during and after World War 2. America did honor those who served in uniform, and America did make a successful effort to heal them, welcome them home, re-integrate them into the civilian community.

But since Vietnam -- well, officially in Washington, military veterans are looked on as just "entitlement bums," and the VA/DVA is more their bureaucratic tormenter than the agency to provide them help.

These days, you come back from a war, you get one quick parade, a coupon to the car wash, and from then on, you're on your own, buddy.

If you can figure out a way to actually re-dedicate the people of America to give proper respect to those of their young neighbors who served in uniform -- please Leave Another Comment.

But for now, entrenched in the way we do things, serving in uniform is just not going to be truly respected and honored. Look up Rudyard Kipling's poem "Tommy" to get a sense of how we do things these days.

Today, we're examining the "effective age" numbers for this season's top NBA teams. Effective age is a metric used by ESPN Insider Kevin Pelton to measure a team's average age, but weighted by minutes played, rather than a straight average (which artificially inflates the average number for a team like New York, for example, if senior citizens like Marcus Camby (38) and Kurt Thomas (40) are given the same weight as heavy-minutes players such as Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith and Ray Felton (all under 30)).
