While driving in New York this weekend. I noticed a DRAMATIC decreased from the recent years the past. I was on the road all four days doing 200 miles a day around the outside main sorce routes for NYC and traffic was compared to minimal for memoral day weekend! NO TRAFFIC???? Is this just NY???? Are oil companies going to start reducing their prices with a direct decrease in the use of their product compared to SPLY last year??????N-

My internet connection is via Comcast Cable. For the last few weeks I have not been able to connect to many political websites... namely "www.powerlineblog.com", "www.captainsquartersblog.com", "www.hughhewitt.com" and "www.biglizards.net" (and some others). Be it known that almost any other wiebsite is reachable. I know the problem does not lie in my computer or with the sites themselves. If I take my laptop (which cannot get to these websites from home) to a Panera, Starbucks or my office, it can connect to them just fine. Bottom line... IS COMCAST FILTERING OUT THESE URLs?

<p>Jim Robinson you are a cheap, manipulative, second-rate huckster. I did some research and found out that you have changed your tune over the years regarding several things. Remember this little gem?</p> <p>I guess money talks and bullshit walks right? When will you have to change your tune on McCain to make ends meet? Back up those comments on this forum today and maybe you won’t be able to squeeze enough money out of your flock to get that screen door fixed on your trailer home this year.</p>

<p>I have been meaning to write something about the Extradition Act 2003 for some time, on the grounds that it is one of those subjects when I would like to tell the US to shove their extradition requests where their prima facie evidence don't shine...</p>

I signed up here because I think you would know something about this, In my business, I travel a lot to small towns throughout the US. For the last couple of weeks I was touring Eastern North Carolina, and I noticed something strange. In every town I went to -- and almost all had no more than 1-10 thousand residents-- there was a Mason lodge. Some had two or even more! This is scary. Is Eastern North Carolina the secret headquarters of the illuminati?

Do you think she'll go out with me?

If some of those who died in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina have been described as stubborn holdouts who ignored an order to evacuate, then these citizens of New Orleans defy that portrait: The 16 whose bodies were wrapped in white sheets in the chapel of Memorial Medical Center. The 34 whose corpses were abandoned and floating in St. Rita's Nursing Home. The 15 whose bodies were stored in an operating room turned makeshift morgue at Methodist Hospital.

Iraq: The unseen war The grim reality of Iraq rarely appears in the American press. This photo gallery reveals the war's horrible human toll. Editor's note: The following photo gallery contains graphic and shocking images of death and devastation in Iraq. Aug. 23, 2005 This is a war the Bush administration does not want Americans to see. From the beginning, the U.S. government has attempted to censor information about the Iraq war, prohibiting photographs of the coffins of U.S. troops returning home and refusing as a matter of policy to keep track of the number of Iraqis who have been...

Body of Thread. body of thread.

The Unites States with Bush in front is actin like a world police. Everything they do is right, and everyone else has to obey. How would americans react if an Arab nation suddently decided to invade the States? Or put up military bases in USA like Americans have in several muslim counties? If the Unites states want to fight terrorism they have to start reorganizing their own foreign politic. And you should also start thinking about who you want for president. A cowboy who likes to play war is definatly not a good president. Was the war on Iraq really...

I recently read a great book called Amongst The Marines by Steven Preece. I bought a few from the Amazon.com website but this is the one that stood out. Its a perfect example of bullying amongst the military ranks and what this type of behaviour turns people into.

I stumbled upon a terrorist symphatising website called Jihad Unspun at this address : http://www.jihadunspun.com/home.php At the main title page, if you look at the banner at the top of the site, you may notice that the website authors have changed the 20th Century Fox logo to become 21st Century War.My question is,is this a violation of copyright since the author used the original logo and changed it?If so is it possible to complain it to any relevant people (20th century fox themselve,etc.) of the misuse of this logo on a website supporting terrorists?! The website owner's email is bkennedy@jihadunspun.net...

I am ashamed of how Americans treat the homeless and the needy in their urban cities and how this website denigrates the poor and less fortunate. You people are the richest country on earth and you will not even give out a scrap to those who are on the streets begging for a living! They need jobs, they need to feed their families, and you won't even help out shame on you! The Bible says that God will judge the nations that forget the poor! You wont be rich forever, these poor ones will go to heaven and you'll go...

With Tuesday’s attacks, Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant with ties to al-Qaida, is now blamed for more than 700 terrorist killings in Iraq. But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.

This letter is legitimate. I know because I helped him write it. When he asked me for help I was absolutely floored. I didn't think this day would come. Republican National Committee 310 First Street, SE Washington, DC 20003 Dear RNC: From the day I was eligible to register to vote I have been registered as a Republican. I have voted for Republican candidates willingly and sometimes with great pride. I reluctantly cast a vote for George Bush in 2000 despite his campaigns abominable behavior toward Sen. McCain in South Carolina. I did not repeat that mistake in 2004 yet...

I believe there is alot wrong with our current goverment and I just cant wait until the south rise again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Galloway goes in front off the Senate Comittee to clear the air... "As a matter of fact, I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the...
