Moving Down The Line! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, my name is Karl Rove and things are getting rather warm for me right now. Seem like when all these fine folk try to help, I just get deeper and deeper into the doo doo. I've told them several time to back off and just let the investigation take its course, but to no avail since the President thinks he knows best which means a different spin each week. He still

Nice article, Gideon. Attributing this to one side of the political spectrum isn't really an astute determination as both use the court of public opinion freely. Two changes should be enacted-all spinning should be suspended until the official investigation is accomplished and evidence presented to the grand jury for indictment determination.. Secondly, many states have enacted legislation directing all proceeds from books, movies, etc., negotiated

Ironically, one can work for the CIA in theor own DC building and be undercover-only the CIA knows. However, Executive Order 50 requires the Presidents to suspend the clearance of any suspected employee who reveals classified information to an uncleared source until such time internal investigation proves otherwise. The President did not accomplish this for over two years until a special prosecutor was appointed. Instead, great lengths were gone to

Agreed, _TAPPER_, its always whatever works best for each person. However, I do miss those heady days of the 1980s where creativity and imagination was not subservient to the dollar incentive. That's my problem and why I look towards third party vendors to fill the void. Most are hungry, inventive and more responsive to technical probelms rather than wiating hours for major software tech support or having a cultural language misinterpretation with a

There's no doubt MS deserves a lot of credit for their innovative programs such as MS Office, etc. Will never begudge them that, but that imagination seems to have been superseded by a need for ever increasing profit incentive. I still use OfficeXP and find it extremely beneficial for my needs, but have forsaken others like Outlook Express not only due to security concerns, but shabby tech support. MS was once eager and hungry; that was replaced by

Firefox Uber Alles in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Firefox has gained immensive popularity as both an individual and business internet browser due to its simplicity of operation, speed and security. Installation is simple to say the least, but the real treats were the controls IE initially lacked: popups, spam and effective cookie control. They are relatively easy to set up and then can be with a simple click to iden

Reply to For JU users:> Firefox or IE6? in Living in Cyberspace JoeUser Forums

The Firefox Gecko engine is exceedingly faster than Internet Explorer. I noticed the same thing after converting to Firefox from IE and went in search of tweaks to determine why. Finally dawned on me IE was just a slower browser and more prone to security flaws. Firefox use is gaining on IE as IE grew slowly on then dominant Netscape. More businesses and individuals are seeing the growing advantages of Firefox's simplified use, popup/cookie

Goodness, gracious, John Byrne at Raw Story and Ron Brynaert at Why Are We Back In Iraq did the hardcore research that elaborated and expanded on the Rude Pundit's initial reporting showing Baa Baa Ann Coulter apparently plagiarized a column. This isn't surprising since charges of the same regarding her "books" substantiated major errors in facts, footnotes and overal

I agree in principle with the non-release of private medical records simply for privacy sake. I am torn, however, when a possible felony is involved and certain records are needed to continue the investigation. Limbaugh's attornies were arguing the principle of privacy while the Administration was and is still attempting to acquire all abortion clinic medical records for possible legal action against women. The Judge in Limbaugh's case sifted through

Please, drmiler, be cool!! Neither am I foolish nor need to get a clue? Just a concerned American exercising my constitutional rights. I have earned my spurs in war and society. You will always be treated with respect and civility; that's all I ask from you. If you ever desire to have someone sincerely hear your argument, then cease the condescending remarks and labels. It simply doesn't work for me and assumably, others. We share a common conce

They came into my country spreading along like insects at night. Their cannons had raked the villages and extended beyond like a distant rainstorm. They wore funny shaped hats with cloth covering their eyes from sights chosen not to see. We were promised much to give up what we had, but those words were empty. They wanted our support, our ideas, our culture, our land,

Watching Tears Of The Sun, starring Bruce Willis, about a SEAL team extracting an American doctor and several patients from potential massacre in Nigeria.

Sorry, but forgot to mention this. Rush was not classified 4-F initially, but rather 1-Y, cannot be called unless national emergency category. His relegation to 4- F only occurred after the 1-Y classification was abolished in December, 1971. "The Selective Service System records still available indicate that the classification was not assigned on psychological or moral grounds, but because of a physical problem. And since there are no record

Afraid that wasn't the case back then as political influence was overwhelming even in the draft boards. LITTLE GROUPS OF NEIGHBORS and another, CHANCE AND CIRCUMSTANCE, which outlines the inherent corruption then. There was evidence of this even where I was raised when the draft board secretary had three sons all of draftable age and not one had been to their initial physical required at age 18 and hs graduation. The problem here is not ideal

Hey, drmiler...nice to hear from you. There several categories in the Selective Service System that categorized individuals as to their status for induction. These ranged from 1-A, Ready for Induction to 4-F, not qualified. Fox example, an individual attending college and meeting the SS academic requirements received a 2-S deferment which was constantly monitored. V-P Cheney received 5 deferments, the first 4 for college and the final for being marr
