They've got to be kidding! This country is officially insane.

Quote:

Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism....

...A statement issued by Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Brands Inc., however, said the scarf had a paisley design...

OMG, well, if I ever ate donuts in the first place, I'd never buy another Dunkin again!!! Huffity Huff Huff!

OMG, scaeagles has some good points. Burning the Davidians alive was beyond fuctup!

Um, but while Richard Armitage may have once been a member of the Clinton Administration, he was not at the time he committed treason ... he was a member of the Bush Administration.

Technically you are correct, ICM. He was a Clinton appointee, but currently still on holdover in the state department. I am not aware of any cover up to protect him, though.

I suppose the cover up must have been very effective, then.

scaeagles · 05-29-2008, 06:44 PM

Well, we'll always disagree....I just started going through what you'd written to debate and or counter, but I won't....because there' no point, blah, blah blah.

Of course, we don't know if he actually means it or if he's simply decided that he can't get elected 1) by disavowing Bush and 2) without running on a "Scare America First" platform.

Win a trip to the Republican Convention!

Hey, it's a free trip to the Mall of America. Also, Garrison Keillor might be performing in St. Paul. Otherwise ...

Minneapolis also has (or at least had a decade ago), a couple strip clubs that actually served decent food. The perfect escape for when you're on a business trip and and want to get some dinner and yet be absolutely certain you won't run into any coworkers. I don't know if that works for Republican conventions.

Probably not.
