Nah! In the good old days you had to load all 1500 replies every time you hit refresh.
Let's hear it for the Robinsons for making it possible to have a long thread that's usable.
Scott was absolutely desperate. There's more to this story..

This is another of the things I love about Bush. While we worry (as in the elections) and stew over what everybody is going to do, Bush is back there working on his next move. During the elections, he was at the ranch working on his future government. Such faith and management of his efforts.
He is an inspiration to me since I waste far too much time.
On another note, just finished watching President Bush's speech to the UN via the link on the White House website. All in all, I'd say he did a great job outlining the case against Hussein, taking the UN to task for their failure to put force behind their toothless resolutions over the last 10 years, and making the US' position clear in that we're moving ahead with or without the UN and that it's up to them whether or not they become absolutely irrelevant. (In my sometimes not-so-humble opinion the UN is a worthless commie-pinko organization and we oughtta tell the sorry b@stards to swim for home, but that's just me.)
As you know, I don't always agree with President Bush, but I'd say he did a *stellar* job today. I hope those p*ssies at the UN are still cleaning the brown spots from their undies. They sure got their heads handed to them by President Bush today.
WTG Dubya.
It's a good day to be an American, isn't it? :-)

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Iraq's U.N. ambassador criticized President Bush's speech to the General Assembly on Thursday, saying it lacked credibility and was motivated by revenge and political ambition.
"He chooses to deceive the world and his own people by the longest series of fabrications that have ever been told by a leader of a nation," Ambassador Mohamed al-Douri said.
It was the first Iraqi reaction to Bush's speech, in which the president warned Baghdad to comply with U.N. resolutions or face the consequences. ......
But al-Douri said the president failed to "find any evidence that Iraq possesses or develops weapons of mass destruction."
"I would have been pleased if the U.S. president would have talked about his true motives behind his speech -- revenge, oil, political ambitions and also the security of Israel, and targeting every independent state that would refuse to adhere to the American policy."
I sure am. All the news about the photos her no-account boyfriend took and released and NOTHING mentioned about the two of them sharing a one-bedroom apartment. THAT ought to be the basis for disallowing her in the competition, not to mention that SHE resigned.
Nobody annoys me more in his interview technique than Tim Russert. He has a list of questions, all phrased in that gutless form we all know so well: "Here's what your critics say about this plan." "How do you respond to officials in your own Pentagon who have disagreed and said ...". "There are those in your own party who have blasted your proposal, saying ..." It basically presents the opposing talking point or position disguised as a question, and makes the interviewee continually defend himself/herself against a partisan charge rather than present their own poisition in a proactive way. Which can then, fairly, be challenged through an informed follow-up. Nah, when the guest is done defending his position against one baseless charge, Tim moves on to the next charge. It's a slimy, lazy and manipulative process.
yaya...I emailed Fox, great idea you had.

Done. One of the best interviews ever. WOW.
