I do know a lot of strippers (don’t ask…) are Republicans or libertarians. They don’t like the taxation of their tips. And many are quite manipulative, mercenary and have the capability of separating what they “do” and what they “are”. Many claim they are Christian, and it’s a bit weird to see some naked gal writhing on a platform with a little crucifix around her neck. The believe in the whole “Jesus died to wash me of my sins” thing. So Prejean doesn’t faze me in the least.

It’s interesting however that Zelikow reacted to reports regarding the Israeli and British use of torture (re. Sein Fein/IRA) to actually question the viability in gaining useful information. I think that these studies showed that the tortures gained false confessions, and implicated an increasingly wider pool of innocent people.

Thank you, senator. Your parents raised a real patriot. Bring it with teeth and I will build a statue.

had me a little chuckle when Kos wrote a mash note to Club for Growth ’bout their support of Rubio - and the very next day they begin the Crist bashing.

although I was shocked to see Cornyn evince actual learning (from the Specter jump) by coming out immediately for Crist

ok, shocked but giggling just the same

China owns our debt they want Taiwan getting us out of the UN security council helps them.
The Arab world has a very large young population that wants jobs they are not getting failing that they seem to want to get religion. And overthrow their American friendly governments if the Arabs stick us they buy themselves time.
Latin America is going Left Ecuador has a huge lawsuit against an American oil company, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Etc etc.
If the Worlds Economy collapses the UN will either change or go the way of the League of Nations.
I think we are all worried about America’s economy here, what we don’t talk enough of is what happens if our economy fails and takes the world’s economy with it?

I’ve a feeling this is not going to be yer basic “show” hearing for the benefit of the rubes as so many since the election have.
