    That's not a lie.

    This is a lie...

    "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

    This is not a lie...

    "I want to thank my friend, Sen. Bill Frist, for joining us today. … He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. (Laughter.) Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."

    This is a lie...
    "Our intelligence sources tell us that he (Saddam) has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production."

    This is not a lie...

    "As you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say."

    Lie...

    "We recently found two mobile biological weapons facilities which were capable of producing biological agents."


    Not...

    "I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances."


    And so on...

    that's sad, still celebrating the last election more than a year after winning. That's an indication that the past is much better than the present, kind of like how some 40 year olds still cling on to their alma mater to validate to themselves that they are smart (because they have nothing current to back up that statement).

    It says something about your priorities that you would take the word of a Brit over an American.

    Kerry is an idiot.
    Bush is messianic.

    And they're both in office. How did that happen?

    Considering your candidate won the election you and Basso sure are bringing up Kerry a lot.

    Y'all have put a new spin on "Don't blame me I voted for the other guy." That usually applies to the people who voted for the candidate who didn't win.

    You know calling people 'traitors' 'Jihadist sympathizers' 'terrorist apologizers' and 'Bin Ladinists' doesn't really help a friendship.

    Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
    We're gonna forget it.
    That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
    But we're gonna let it,
    You won't regret it.

    Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
    Bring that bottle over here.
    I'll be your baby tonight.

    Go melt back into the night, babe,
    Everything inside is made of stone.
    There's nothing in here moving
    An' anyway I'm not alone.
    You say you're looking for someone
    Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
    To gather flowers constantly
    An' to come each time you call,
    A lover for your life an' nothing more,
    But it ain't me, babe,
    No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
    It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

    Actually they did. They found it inaccurate, and even the Bush whitehouse has admitted it wasn't accurate enough and should have been left out of the state of the union.
