It torture is OK, then Al Queda won. Everything else is just the epilogue. We lose when we become the terrorists, when any method is acceptable. I think we, collectively, are going to be as ashamed of this era as we are of McCarthyism and the Japanese Internment. And wingnuts, please, spare...

For what it's worth, I don't think so. The American people are 70-30 against the current war. The military is overextended. The GOP is about to get slaughtered in the mid-terms. I don't think Iran is in play — in part because the American people have had enough, in part because the Iranian army...

All I know about Poker is that I always draw 2-7 off-suit, fold it and then see two sevens and a two fall in the flop. But the guys who play for a living? Not so much — I know who Doyle Brunson is, but not much beyond that. I do miss poker in the old days before everyone played sissy hold 'em...

Guiliani has skeletons that will come out — paging Bernie Kerik — and is already under fire for his actions before 9/11 in a new book that is getting a lot of play. Let's put it this way, we're in lousy shape if the nominee comes from New York — either party, as both are flawed candidates...

I wish I could help, but I don't have access to such an outlet any longer. I will say this, after using vBulletin exclusively in the past as a forum engine for my site development, I expect to use SMF for my next two non-sports sites which will go live later this year. I'm very impressed with...

That was exceptional. I was thinking how it was kind of Murrowesque and when he finished by quoting Murrow it was perfect. Anyone, and I mean, anyone, who thinks Rumsfeld's comments were just peachy keen doesn't really get the whole "being an American" thing — and didn't immediately pick up the...

Supplying a link is reasonable. I think for the most part, it's hard to argue with. I think using either Nielsen or Alexa is a good metric (although Sitemeter is OK, if you have a smaller site, not in the top 100K) — as is the requirement of a certain amount of time in service. The PR staffs...

Not really. Oh, and it's Anibal Sanchez. Not Anibel. And yeah, they've got some talent — but all of 'em have good nights and bad nights and are playing under zero pressure, zero expectation. Let's see what any of 'em other than Willis do with 50,000 rocking Shea and a playoff series on the line...

I love this "bring expense more in line with revenue" crap. Anybody know what the BJ's profit margin was? Are they seriously claiming to be losing money? Regardless, this is crappy — and typical now of the last 20-plus years of newspaper management. Profit margin drops, cut staff, lose...

No, but you did see me in Home Theater magazine.

ooohkay then. Plasma and LCD both have their plusses and minuses. Although I have to say in general that plasmas tend to be slower than most LCDs in terms of motion (which is in opposition to what was written above). Plasma has better viewing angles and tends to have better color depth. If you...

Somebody should be insulted. I just can't figure out whom.

No more hideous purple quote boxes. I must say, this new version of SMF is nice, almost vBulletin worthy. Nice, more secure upgrade.

If the guys says everything on the record, why not? It's not like you're protecting a source. Make copies for your files and hand it all over. Otherwise, its obstruction of justice.

I've eaten waaaay to much food in both Butler and Wanaque. But truth is, there's amazing pizza in both — not to mention Bloomingdale's (I think now gone) Mamma Mia's.

So, uh, who apologizes to the Ramseys for their popular conviction in the media? Oh, wait. Patsy is dead. Too late.

Hi. "No time to read" is people lying to survey takers when they mean "nothing interesting to read." People seem to be finding time to read on the web, books and so on. Just not newspapers. Anyone not getting that shouldn't be out there peddling their "consultant" geniusness. Snake oil...

Freedom. Liberty. These were words not taken lightly by the founders of this nation. You speak of denying these rights to those, some of whom are American citizens, because they look Arabic. Because they might commit a crime. What if it was decided that people who like you were dangerous? What...

And anyone who screams about confidentiality agreements like that is looking to bury what really happened.

If you really want to have an end to terrorism, you need to be Nixon smart, not Bush stupid. If I'm prez (and yes, I know, God forbid) I call up the Saudi kind and explain things. This whole jihad thing stops...or Mecca becomes a very glassy ocean. The biggest issue we have is that our...
