that is the number of soldiers MURDERED for bush’s halliburton/oil war
77
that is the IQ of the typical liberal who makes such an idiotic claim

The number of people who don’t think KSGolfnut is a moron.
Listen up, people: The swearing in ceremony for congress consists ONLY of the members raising their right hands and reciting the oath. Neither the bible nor any other religious text is or ever has been used for an official purpose as part of the swearing in ceremony.
KSGoofNut is right. They didn’t die for oil. They died to protect the United States from a “grave and gathering threat” of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
No, wait. They died to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq.
Uhhh, scratch that. They died to remove Saddam Hussein so that the Iraq people could live . . .
Okay, it was the oil.
Capn, our troops are dying to bring Democracy to the Iraqi people. Er, ah, no, they’re dying to stop the killing of the Iraqi people. Oh wait, we’re removing the rape and torture rooms!I’ve got it!!!! we’re there to save the sand!
I wonder if those supporting Bush’s Iraq war are those same people that have halliburton stock?

Oh you must mean people like Micheal Moore who was found to have Halliburton stock in his portfolio.
“Do as I say not as I do” right Micheal
OH MAC and cheese, you are so stupid. Rush’s talking memo on that issue has long been debunked. Time to listen to oxy rush again and get your new marching orders
Anybody who’s got a couple of mutual funds probably has stocks he/she wishes weren’t in there.
Most funds hold many dozens of stocks and they buy and sell them all the time. It’s almost impossible unless you’re a fanatic to keep track of what’s actually in “your portfolio” at any one time.
Total cheap shot at Michael Moore, and not very interesting either, is it?
Also, you might not want to open the can of worms on “personal responsibility” given that drug-using Rush, libel-monger Coulter, pedophile Mark Foley, pedophile enabler Dennis Hastert, scam artist Jack Abramoff, and gay hating gay evangalists are all on your side.
oh but capt don’t you know they doth project too much
People who have investments should know where their money is going to, unless they don’t care that much. Kind of like Sam Brownback and his investments in the China oil company. I read where he wants to get rid of that investment. My question is – why did he even invest in China Oil Company in the first place?
Why isn’t he investing in an American Oil Company willing to research alternative fuel? That would go a long way in getting our necks off the chopping block in the Middle East.
Has anyone else heard about Lawrence, KS, considering civil unions for gays?
A former Kansan who now resides in D.C. mentioned it to me in chat last night. She said it was in the Hutch paper.
Is the Hutch paper online and you can check it for yourself?
It was in the Lawrence paper some time ago.
I read it everyday on-line. Gotta get my blue state news somewhere :)

Joke of the Day:
Q: What’s the difference between a dead dog in the middle of the road and a dead wetback in the middle of the road?
A: there are skidmarks in front of the dead dog!
V.L.R.B!!
No link here.
But it seems that Gerald Ford ALSO thought that bush was in error in invading Iraq.
Bob Woodward reports that Ford disagreed with the war and bush’s rationale for it. Bue he made Woodward swear to silence until after Ford was dead.
Republicans. They gotta die to be honest?
I see the Denver airport is closing again in anticipation of a huge storm arriving tomorrow, with up to 18 inches of snow this time.
The intent is to prevent the stranding of thousands of fliers again.
Of course, there are people on this blog that will refer to their pre-emptive action as “stupid”.
It appears my previous comment now has a thread of its own.
raptor was that another dig at me?
Ok I’ll bite.
Stupid? Building a major air hub in a region known for heavy snow. THAT was stupid.
With our central location and GENERALLY mild weather? Where the hell was Wichita 30 years ago when WE should have been building a major air hub?
Oh yeah, we busy were arguing about building Century 2 and the big ditch!
This LJWorld article says they are considering domestic partnerships for gays/lesbians in Lawrence:
http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2006/dec/22/domestic_partner_registery_considered/
I like the LJ World also, but I am troubled by the fact that they have nearly a monopoly on news communication in Lawrence. They own a cable company and internet services in town.
NPR some time back did a story on them:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4599579
Steven Davis, it is troubling, but balanced somewhat by the local reporters for the Topeka Capitol and the Kansas City Star. Add to that the local cable carries the Topeka and KC stations, reporters for which seem to find their way to Lawrence on a regular basis, and it isn’t quite as bad as it might appear on first blush.
Clarification: reporters in addition to the “sports reporters” who seem to live in Lawrence.
Saw on cnn.com that Tuesday has been declared a “national day of mourning” for former President Ford.
It’s amazing how great a president becomes after he’s dead.
I wouldn’t say Gerald Ford was a great president but I do not think he did any real damage to the country. He was an honest man and I think he really cared about doing what was morally right. Even though I did not agree with him about the pardon for Nixon, I can see how he reasoned that it was best to get the whole thing behind the country. And, in looking back at the craziness of the Clinton impeachment, I can see even more now that Ford was right in his assessment.
It’s been a long time since we have had a president that was not either totally hated or totally loved. We need to get back to some civility in politics. This two-camp nonsense is tearing the country apart.
Ian,You are a sick bastard!
He’ll just take that as a compliment, Brenda. Like Fred Phelps, he loves to be hated.
What’s wrong, Brenda, does the truth hurt? lmsarfao
Viva la Raza Blanco!!
Ian,Are you sure you are not Fred’s son? You both spew hatred in the same manner. But you probably would tell us if Fred was your dad because you’d take that as a compliment!!Just for everyone’s edification could you give us the short list of who you do like?
