Free Republic

I thought we did have the capability. Or is it that the infrastructure is just not yet in place?

No, they did not get away with it.

Federal investigators say the evidence was better in the counterfeit check case, so they’re not going to charge the owner with drug charges.

The federal counterfeit charges carry a stiffer penalty.

People like it for the games. Although that’s become less of an issue than it once was.

What sort of fallout would that produce? I have friends in Seoul!

He is risen indeed!

It’s not even original. Anyone remember “Gandhi 2” from UHF?

This was only the first in a series of reports on Operation Fast and Furious.

The election was still up in the air until the Spanish bailout. After that, it’s Tsipras (the leftists) in a landslide.

It’s spelled “Fremen”.
/The Spice Must Flow!

He was in the Navy for 2 years. Just putting that out there.

It’s turtles the whole way down!

The best defense is a good offense.

At $50k a pop though, they aren’t cheap. Especially when a kassam rocket can be made for a few hundred bucks. Better than the alternative (i.e. no shield) but crazy expensive.

What’s the minimum needed to kill a bear and not just piss it off?

It’s probably because he was hired before 9/11.

Commute=/Pardon. And he was a Democrat. You expect that sort of thing out of them.

What about Huntsman for CIC? His experience with China intrigues me. Maybe he’ll get a chance to be the front-runner next.

I’m pretty sure Syria already had chemical weapons. That doesn’t mean they didn’t get more though.

Biden seems to simply be incapable of guile.

Just because it’s not Andrew or Katrina doesn’t mean it’s not doing damage. 18” rain in one day for the entire east coast is nothing to sneeze at. And don’t count out the storm surge either. Could do a lot of damage on Long Island, as it’s perpendicular to the storm’s movement and will likely be hit at high tide.

So, market up on Monday?

What are global germanium supplies like? Could be a sticking point if it’s in short supply.

Um...2 hours of service?:P

This didn’t take place in a bad part of town, as I live just a couple miles from where it happened.

Wow, this took place less than 2 miles away from me! I was at work when it happened.

And people laughed when I told them Obama would turn the US into the UK.

You are more correct than you probably realise:

Otherwise, we might have never known for sure. Also, we wouldn’t have the huge trove of computers, hard-drives, etc. that we picked up. Could very well be key to averting terrorist attacks that were in the works.

I’m not voting for a man who proposed to dismantle the National Weather Service. It’s one of the few worthwhile government agencies.

Score another one for DARPA!

Score another one for DARPA!

Score another one for DARPA!

More like kamikaze than mujahideen.

Crap. I’ve eaten this candy during the past year.

Would have been correct if they said fuel prices surged to 400% of their previous value.

The only problem, is that it usually takes something like the massacre of an entire town for the rest of the people to decide to do something about that 1%.

I fear for the lives of these people. The cartels don’t like it when people stand up for themselves. Hopefully, these people will be prepared when it happens.

I know I was pretty pissed off at Fox News yesterday. They had an “Alert” that said “North Korea at it Again”. Got all worked up but when none of the other channels had anything on it, I started to get suspicious. Of course, nothing was happening and it was just Fox News being sensationalist again, ala the “Dog Stuck on Ice on Hudson River” Breaking News Alert.

Just so long as it doesn’t turn me into a smurf.

Amazing that Ebert is still writing after what he has gone through.

Ebert teamed with Richard Roeper for the television series Ebert & Roeper & the Movies, which began airing in 2000. Although his name remained in the title, Ebert did not appear on the show after mid-2006, when he suffered post-surgical complications related to thyroid cancer which left him unable to speak. Ebert ended his association with the show in July 2008,[10] but in February 2009 he stated that he and Roeper would continue their work on a new show.[11]

The bear wasn’t cornered. It was the person who was cornered.

You forget the cornerstone of Obama’s administration: doublethink.

Not going to happen under Obama. Patraeus is the best we’re going to get under Obama.

Sounds like all BS. Except the corporate “profit before anything” mentality.

I think in this instance he’s actually referring to China.

I’m thinking it’s possible, so I bought an SPY put option to cover myself. Already covered if it goes up.
