The Jeff Buckley version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AratTMGrHaQ

KD Lang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_NpxTWbovE

I have my own preference between the two. The original (Leonard Cohen), imo, is pretty bad.

Ayers = Liddy
No, Liddy is worse. Ayers' methods were wrong, but at least he was fighting for a just cause. Liddy was actively attempting to destroy democracy in America.

But in whose eyes was Ayers' cause just? And do those eyes speak for all of us?

Anyway, back to the topic. Would you accept/support the victory via ACORN rules?

battery chucka' one

In this case, Mikey, I believe that there is. Also, these actions would be considered detrimental to the legitimate voters and, as such, selfish.

Felix, I believe that these are absentee ballots we're talking about. I think that if somebody casts multiple absentee ballots (and they're placed into the official tally), that counts as fraud. Don't you?

We decided to make cornish hens for Thanksgiving. Probably with new potatoes. A few years ago, I got a great one from Panther but, time goes on and recipes are lost. And message board search bars don't turn them up. Eh. It happens. Anywho, much thanks in advance to anybody who can give me a great one.

Would you accept/be alright with an Obama victory next month if the only reason that he ended up winning is because of ACORN related voter fraud allowed him to prevail in key battleground states?

I'm curious to read your responses.

Would you accept/be alright with a McCain victory next month if the only reason that he ended up winning is because a many voters refused to vote for Obama because he is black?

Personally, I wouldn't be alright with it and would rather Obama win than McCain prevail under such circumstances.

Step off. Clever girl. You get ten points for the somewhat obscure Jurassic Park reset. Kudos. Ayers is absolutely a questionable relationship. Obama should be scrutinized for it until it the exact nature of the union comes to light. That doesn't mean to shush it away without discretion. It means, ...

Also, just because rules might be bent on Wednesday doesn't mean that they should be bent/broken every day of the week nor does it mean that the rules should either be changed or abolished. Sounds like you're making "rules" right there. It's quite obvious that we need to establish some ru...

I'm looking hard at several stocks. The first is GM. The other is Emulex.

If Obama were to "bend the rules" should he become president, you'd be okay with that? Depends if it's selfish or not. If he does it for his own gain, then no. If he does it because he's trying to prevent a terrorist attack, then yes. Motivation is important with this. Also, just because ...

battery chucka' one

War Wagon, that's exactly what I'm talking about!!! That's what I look for in a leader. One who understands (or can find out) why the rules are in place yet doesn't demand that they are followed if doing so will handcuff his or her country. Charley Wilson was this way. A leader I desire in power sho...

So, dude says it's OK for leaders to "break rules" if they think it's appropriate... After posting a thread in which he asks questions of "liberals"... fucking CLASSIC . If nothing else, you gotta admire BCO's commitment to beating himself about the head and anus. It's not too o...

battery chucka' one

I blame Diefenbaker, personally. What about you? Mulroney, anybody?

battery chucka' one

I also think of situations such as that of Charlie Wilson. Greater good required rule breaking/bending. It wasn't selfish. Or do I find disagreement with this?

battery chucka' one

However, when the rules handcuff you as a leader... That's a good thing. Something....absolute power...something, something...absolutely...something... I understand what you're saying. And it is true. I don't think rule breaking/bending is advantageous to the constituency if it's exercised selfishl...

battery chucka' one

I'm talking about utilizing common sense versus strict adherence to a set of rules/laws that might or might not allow for a positive outcome to a situation. Which style of leadership do you prefer?

battery chucka' one

What do you look for? Of course, knowledge of the 'rules' are important. However, do you look for a leader who abides to each and every 'rule' to a T or one who is aware of them and understands WHY they are in place but is also aware that there are times (extenuating circumstances) when they need to...

I agree that his involvement in that church was highly questionable. The O'Reilly interview was quite telling. He supposedly went to church about twice a month over twenty years. Part time attendee. It happens. His faith runs lukewarm. However, he goes on to say how it has 'molded and shaped' him in...

Must suck to see your whole world view be utterly discredited. No wonder you're so angst ridden.

Please, do elaborate.

I'm just amazed that we have McCain as a nominee when either Thompson or Romney would be lapping Obama right now. Stupifying.

battery chucka' one

Seriously. That one was horrible. blah blah blah blah blah I feel somewhat compelled to vote for the least yawn inducing of the candidates, if there was one for whom that label would qualify.

I think I'm going to snap up some fire sale priced stocks in the next month. Anybody have any advice on what I should grab?

Why are you guys so afraid of Sarah Palin? Is there a reason? I won't attribute it to sexism, yet, but it's very odd to see this fear. It does beg the question, don't you think a woman can be VP? But, again, I won't say it's sexism yet. Surely there is another reason. Thanks in advance. I look forw...

Your question is a fallacy in action. Nobody I know is "afraid" of Sara Palin. Especially after she has so "distinguished" herself during the last month. With any luck, Palin will be the death knell for the GOP's strategy of running complete imbeciles with warped world views for...

I found a link where I can read this online (books w/o spines or something like that). I find it very intriguing with its gimic (50,000 words w/o ever using the letter 'e'). Am thinking about tackling this one next. Has anybody read? Without giving too much away from the plot, is it worth my time?

battery chucka' one

No, I didn't. Hence, I'm playing catch up, I guess. DID have to read the Scarlet Letter twice (switched schools after sophomore year). Hated it both times. Anthem was cool. So was The Crucible. Heart is a Lonely Hunter....eh. Boring.

Bsmack, perhaps you'd like to give a little more proof before you toss such accusations at Perot.

battery chucka' one

Perot could have won in '92. The Democrats used slander (and blamed it on the Republicans) to drive him out. We need that sort of candidate again. Paul is not it.

Mikey, I like how you started and ended your post with the same line. First the intro, then the line, then the post, then the line again. Would that rhythmic form be considered more of a villanelle or a haiku?

100 pages in. Incredible book. Good writing. Great prose. So far, I'd recommend. One of those books that makes you want to keep reading.

Those polls with Zogby have more distance between McCain and Obama than the ones I've been seeing (pollster [which is a combination of several] and yahoo). Perhaps those numbers might stand. I most look at the numbers in Florida. You have double digits in favor of McCain. Pollster has him leading by...

Rozy, I pray you're right and that McCain will win, but I really think that Obama's going to win this election. Don't get me wrong, he SHOULDN'T, but I think he will. That's perhaps the most disgusting thing about this situation. That's what scares me the most. Again, I pray I'm wrong. I fear that I...
