“People” is an indefinite number.

But “5″ tells you how many.

That’s why “5 persons” is more correct than “5 people.”

If she is basing her campaign on countering those silly arguments she is making a huge mistake. Hillary, remove Harold Ford from your ‘Five’ immediately!

Scrarecrow, thanks for putting this out there.

The Shill is just another of the same as what we’ve had all along . . . and a HORRIBLE foreigh policy is what she will propogate for oil, power, control, and greed.

Same as it ever was.

Glad to see SOMEONE putting the hammer down in The Shill . . . A Harpie In Disguise.

Not necessarily. It could just mean that the Boston Globe editorial staff thinks that taking this line will do them some service in their personal career advancement.

They do work for Pinch, you know.

For an enlightening view of the standards of journalism in Boston, google Beat the Press at WGBH. Brings shallow and bitchy to a whole new level.

When you look back over some of the past Presidents – Eisnehower, Truman, Roosevelt, Kennedy – they made tough decisions and didn’t go beating their chests about it. What is it about the Reagans and Bushes of the world that they need to show their manhoods they way they do? Insecure little farts is what they are.

The reason for these idiots is because they are nothing more than BULLIES. We all know that Bush has been like that since he was a kid. He has to be the big shot and has to be in the center of the attention!! Also in today’s Globe was a pix of Jr, the French President and
Sr Bush…the ex Pres and French Pres were just talking and pointing at something…what is Jr.
doing? Waving at the camera!! He just never stops!

I would bet that the Globe has some letters to the editors over the comments of the Times…they forget we are one of the most
liberal state in the union!!

I believe the gods in the heaven would fear a mother protecting her young….

Men wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the love of their mothers….

Here’s the deal, in my opinion. Hillary will lose if she’s the democratic presidential candidate. Why? Not because she’s a woman. But because in order to be a poitician, she has given up what she believes.

What exactly would that be? What does Hillary believe?

So, call their bluff. Maybe aggressive and pointed ridicule, rather than outrage, is the best response to this stuff. I think the population is ahead of the media and pundits on this, or are prepared to rush on ahead if they can be reminded that this all a deliberate, but really stupid attempt at a con job.

I am 1000% in agreement on this. This is a last ditch attempt to save their sorry asses. And it’s effective if it scares us. Arguing them seriously, like they actually mean what they say, is exactly wrong. Being scared only gives them power. Laugh in their faces. Let the American public know that they’re not crazy (’cause they do see it, they only doubt it because it’s all they hear) – these people are lying despicable assholes. Ridicule! Attack, attack, attack!!

I think someone should send them tickets to see “No End In Sight” if they want to claim the Rethug men do it better…

I just returned from seeing the movie and I left more angry than I thought I could be.
Impeachment Is Not Enough!

This plot sounds familiar to me, somehow.

If it were a standard old-time Hollywood flick, some guys would spend the rest of film rescuing things in the nick of tiem, long chase scene, tiresome mini-cliffhangers strung together, etc. The woman would be allowed some little critical action that contributes to saving the day, in order to not completely insult half the population who might pay to see the film. And then Dick-Bush would get some kind of come-uppance.

But let’s say its a better movie, and all sorta folks, young and old, make and female, this color or that, come to the rescue. Hey, maybe through some kind of neighborhood cooperative action. Maybe Deputy Fife and Aunt Bea. Anyway, people with more common sense and fewer psych issues than Cheney-Bush.

Cheney-Bush would have decided that these people were enemies or incompetent meddlers and try to kill them all. That would create good suspense, but in the real life version it makes me nervous.

Anyway, my point being, every all American audience from LA to Tulsa to Manchester would know who to root for.

So, I guess we need a movie like that. To poihnt out some home truths.
