That&#039;s why California is way beyond bankrupt.  They&#039;d be long gone if it weren&#039;t for the other states bailing them out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I realize most of you know this, but one or two seem not to; Rumpy was making joke. Wasn&#039;t particularly funny, but it was an attempt at a human emotion, something he&#039;d stopped having in the mid 70&#039;s. Encourage him a bit folks. It&#039;s a long way back from the place he&#039;s at and he deserves a bit of a prop for making the attempt. He looks better these days , too. He&#039;s filed off the horns and the orthotics are making his hooves seem almost normal. When he takes the plunge and has the tail removed he&#039;ll be nearly there. Lets all try and help, eh? It&#039;s an immortal soul we&#039;re trying to rescue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to reset my password just to get back into this tripe kitchen. Now then, watch out:

The simple fact that Rummy tags the Raiders as &quot;evil&quot; is funny as all hell. What does this guy know about evil, aside from the fact he assisted W and his cronies about in putting the USA to war against Iraq based on lies? The guy is old, demented, and about 2 steps away from useless (just like our friend Al The Cryptkeeper, but at least Al doesn&#039;t make assumptions, he just gets his decisions wrong). So, unless Rummy here serves some purpose in life after a Cabinet post (such as gumming farina for his fellow rest home residents) it&#039;s best to let him prattle away on subjects that don&#039;t even concern him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It’s only a matter of time before someone makes a post here about how 9/11 was inside job.&quot;
^^^^^
That&#039;s actually what you just did.   How passive aggressive of you.   I&#039;m not going to claim it&#039;s an inside job.  But the government&#039;s official story (quite a conspiracy in and of itself!!) frankly sounds as far fetched (if not more?) than some conspiracy theories I&#039;ve heard.

Just out of curiousity, are you aware that Donald Rumsfeld actually slipped up and stated that Flight 93 was SHOT DOWN? 

Don&#039;t take my word for it, its on youtube, just type &quot;Rumsfeld Flight 93 shot down&quot;.  It&#039;s there. I posted a link earlier but PFT censored it (of course).   

Bottom line, I am not claiming that it was or was not an &quot;inside job&quot;.  The fact remains though that there are many unanswered questions and pieces of the puzzle of the official story that do not add up.  Hard for some governemtn loving brainwashed sheeple to understand, I realize.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rumsfeld never said he was a Steelers fan.  He just said the Raiders were evil.  Read the article before you comment next time.  The interviewer said he was pulling for the Steelers.  The evil comment came as a response to that and Rumsfeld picked no favorite.

An excerpt from the article above:
&lt;i&gt;Rumsfeld ended the sit-down by asking Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times (via SFWeekly.com) whether Rachman was pulling for the Steelers or the Packers.  Rachman said the Steelers, “because of the epic games against the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.”

Said Rumsfeld in response, &quot;Nobody could support the Raiders.  They’re evil.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

<i>Rumsfeld ended the sit-down by asking Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times (via SFWeekly.com) whether Rachman was pulling for the Steelers or the Packers.  Rachman said the Steelers, “because of the epic games against the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.”</p>
<p>Said Rumsfeld in response, &#8220;Nobody could support the Raiders.  They’re evil.&#8221;</i></p>

Calling Bush or Rummy war criminals is so asinine. You do realize that congress had to vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq right? So by your theory every single member of congress, both democrats and republicans, who voted to authorize the Iraq war are also war criminals. Let’s not forget the millions of people of Iraq who were subject to a brutal dictator for years.
================================

You do realize the Congress authorized the use of force in Iraq based upon lies told by Rumsfeld and Powell?  And that lying to Congress is a felony?  

It&#039;s not our job to liberate every population subject to a dictatorship.  And if we really believe that is our responsibility, which of course we don&#039;t, we&#039;re going to be awfully busy:  Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Chechnya, Somalia, Cuba, Cambodia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kosovo are all dictatorships.

How many other sovereign nations do you want to invade? Maybe we should just focus on the ones that have oil.

And I&#039;m not a Democrat, I&#039;m a Libertarian.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;JUST A REMINDER:
Tuck Rule started Brady’s run
Spy Gate helped continue Brady’s run

Since then, the Pats have declined.&quot;
^^^^^
Absolutely WRONG.

Have the Pats choked in the playoffs the last 6 years?  Yes.  Is this disapponting?  Yes.   Is this a result of Camerahunt aka Spygate?  The numbers don&#039;t lie:

Pats regular season record 2001-06: 70-26 
Winning %: .729
Pats regular season record 2007-10: 51-13
Winning %: .796

Let me preface this by saying Super Bowls are all that matter.   However, how do you explain this? I&#039;ve yet to find any Patriots hater that can provide a plausible explanation for why the Patriots record is BETTER post-Spygate.  

Until someone can do so, your argument comes off as nothing more than a FALLACY and perhaps also sour grapes.  Anyone?]]></description>

------------------------------------------------
That&#039;s some impressive logic. Not.
Rumsfeld has admitted to violating the Geneva Convention. So has Bush and Cheney, so by their own admission they have committed crimes. If they were to leave the U.S. they could be arrested, taken to the Hague, and put on trial. Congress did not approve waterboarding and illegal detention, so they are not culpable.
Rummy&#039;s book reveals there were no WMD.
He and Bush and Cheney are guilty, and there should be an investigation.]]></description>

That&#039;s a little too simplistic.  

Rummy, Wolfowitz, Cheney et al were directly responsible for manufacturing intelligence and evidence, lying to Congress with impunity and shameless spewing propaganda to get us into Iraq, resulting in thousands of American deaths and the destruction of a sovereign nation.   Doesn&#039;t make me proud to be an American.

That said, I don&#039;t give Congress a free pass at all.  They are a disgrace to themselves, their constituents and to the great history of this nation.  I am neither Democratic nor Republican, Liberal nor Conservative, but clearly the American people gave the Democratic party a mandate in 2006 to hold the Bush Administration responsible for their war crimes and they failed.  All are complicit and all are contemptible.   

God I hate discussing politics on a football blog.  No mas!!]]></description>

&quot;Says the guy too stupid to realize that he’s also commenting on a football blog. LOL And then you go on to say that if you don’t like America you can leave. LOL Why? Because others on here happen to feel the same as the entire rest of the world and can’t stand Donald freakin’ Rumsfeld? LOL The guy is a tool. As soon as the article said that Rumsfeld said the Raiders are evil every Raider fan in the world should have felt instantly gratified. I’m surprised he didn’t instantly shoot a friend in the face the moment he finished saying it. You must be one of those tools that actually believes the USA is safer because of all the garbage measures put in when he had a hand in power.

I always love the right vs left politics. It’s so stupid. Both sides are completely useless and everything done, left or right, is completely about money. Sometimes they’ll taper it down a bit or put a nice agenda or spin on it, but, in the end, money.

As a Canadian I guess I’ll just go back to waiting to use my one MRI machine with our useless medical system, hey?!!! LOL Believe everything they tell you….LOL&quot;

Agreed. Money isn&#039;t everything, it is the only thing. 
I also agree with Gia and really, most of us have already left America, living within its borders, because it is but a mere shell of what it was meant to be. Are people aware that Rumsfield and Cheney have been involved in some capacity or level, since the 70&#039;s in D.C. and the government, with defense, schemes and cover ups...makes it easy to assume that there is indeed a grand master plan and these people are placed accordingly to help carry it out...just wonder what their final objective is. I&#039;m afraid, I don&#039;t really want to know. I do know that with all of the bickering and separation, the poor economy, poor educational system, and a myriad of other problems, that WE ALL have played a hand in creating, with our apathy, indifference and loss of morality, that our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves nonstop. How embarrassing.  And for those who think they are being cute by quipping, &quot;You don&#039;t like it, then leave.&quot; Trust me, many people don&#039;t have the means and money too, but I would wager it is safe to say that many, thousands, if not millions, would leave if they had the means and money too. So do yourself a favor and stop thinking that everything is okay, so great and wonderful. Stop believing they hype that these news networks spoonfeed us and the propaganda from both sides of the aisles. Quit buying into the scare tactics and learn how to become a free thinker. Take off the blind fold, quit being a mindless sheep and quit drinking the Kool-Aid and learn how to investigate and form a rational, reasonable and informed decision. I can only hope that someday our leaders reverse course and start doing the same and realize how great things could truly be, for us and even the world. When we take the time to approach foreign affairs with rational talks, an open mind and understanding of each others cultures and realize in the end, we are not all that different. To offer help and assistance with teaching them things like education and how to grow crops, build businesses and suggest ideas on how to live but understand and accept, that they have their own way of doing certain things, that will indeed never change and be okay with it instead of pissed off and try to force the issues, which causes resentment and hatred of us. We can do this things as well domestically. We all play an important role in this thing called humanity and it can be vastly improved for everyone, with a better moral code, a conscious, with understanding, sensible discussion and debates, and with love and peace. Andy yeah, I may be a dreamer...but I&#039;m not the only one.]]></description>
