"And I’d like to interject a note of balance here. There are times
when we all get in high dudgeon. We ought to be reasonable about this.
I think there are probably very few people in this room or in America
who would say that torture should never, ever be used, particularly if
thousands of lives are at stake.

Take the hypothetical: If we knew that there was a nuclear bomb hidden
in an American city and we believed that some kind of torture, fairly
severe maybe, would give us a chance of finding that bomb before it
went off, my guess is most Americans and most senators, maybe all,
would say, Do what you have to do.

So it’s easy to sit back in the armchair and say that torture can
never be used. But when you’re in the foxhole, it’s a very different
deal."

It's just a tactic, kind of like Lobsta' Boats and German/American
screwdrivers... Soundbites for elections. Remember Hillary's personal
firefight? I think the congress should be spending it's time finding
out why 1-2/3 of soldiers votes were not counted in the last election,
or why gas is up to $2.50 again. Remember, Pelosi said that was going
to be job 1 when she took the lead.. It has been a disaster ever
since, companies can't even plan ahead because of the volatility...
That's what's important, not who you can "Scooter Libby/Trent Lott,
Newt Gingrich" out of an office...

Why are you concerned about the economy? You sure as hell are not part
of it.

"1-2/3" of soldiers votes were not counted..."

Is that less than two soldiers?

You didn't actually get through a Connecticut high school, did you? With
a diploma?

Every single person who lives in the United States of America is part
of the economy. Are you stuck on stupid today?
Where's that Yale diploma?

Man, that place sure is a dump! Especially for someone who's father
was very well off, new Ole Evinrude well, had the largest marina/
dealership in the eastern U.S., etc.!!

That would be because you live in Connecticut. ;-) It's still right at
$2.00 hereabouts.

I filled up Yo Ho's tank yesterday, 71 gallons at $2.05 a gallon.
