That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that it's mighty convenient that a tape comes along anytime Bush needs a boost.
I believe these tapes don't get air time unless our gov't gives the media the okay to air it.

So the government can prevent the media from telling us about the new bin Laden tape playing on Al Jazeera but can't prevent the media from telling us about anything else?

The government has an interesting combination of omnipotence and impotence.

I just have to laugh....protests are fine, but some are so fake they are simply ridiculous.

Hunger strike? OK. That's a serious protest. Some Hollywood stars are participating in a "rolling" hunger strike, where they will go without food for 24 whole hours (gasp!) and then pass the hunger strike off to someone else.

Anyone who wants to do this for real, cool. More power to them. But the concept of the rolling hunger strike is just pathetic.

I think every US Senator should be required to watch 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'.

I'm thinking, what a huge sacrifice! They already get paid a lot of money to stay skinny.
:D

What would be more headline grabbing is if they gorged themselves instead.

It could be an anti-aneorexia strike.

Yeah - we need a real statement. "Slaughter and eat a cow for peace!"

Michael Moore is joining in too, maybe he will opt to actually do a true hunger strike and lose a bit of weight.

But seriously, this is the biggest crock I have ever heard of. Pisses me off. Nothing more then a publicity stunt. I have lost respect(not that there was much there to begin with, but) for these hollweird jokers.

I cannot believe how much these artists are willing to suffer for their causes!!!


:rolleyes:

Self-important wastes of space. They all need a big ol' BSFR.*

So, I don't know if any of you West Coasters heard about the news from the, you know, important coast, the East Coast... :D that part of the Big Dig tunnel collapsed and killed a woman who was a passenger in a car the other day.

I am in agreement with Gov Mitt Romney that the Mass Turnpike Authority Chairman should be axed. I agree 100%. However, and this is a big 'however', I can't help but feel that Romney is using this instance to further his bid for the White House. In fact, all of the politicians here are. They are jumping on the bandwagon and crying foul and saying that 'something must be done'... But I can't help but feel that if this was a non-election year that their sentiments wouldn't be as loud.
