(...) Oh, I actively dislike Shrub. I hope that is very clear, no dodging necessary. I think he is the worst president we have had in my lifetime (which is to say the last 40 years or so). And I hope he is actually the idiot that I think he may be (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I need to remember to put my smily face when I am kidding. No I don't believe the sweeping generalization that all media is biased. My two favorite papers, the Orange county register and the San Bernadino Sun times are both right of center, (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Such an attack is usally groundless and proffered by a person that has no idea what the "left" is really about. The all encompassing "media" is hardly "left." Offhand, I'd say Costello has no real knowledge of "left" or "right" -- I hear a lot (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Sort of. I said it was my fear, and a likely outcome, but not a certainty. At least that's the way I *prefer* to remember it. Peace-loss probability is increasing, in my view, that's for sure. Plus I can't take credit for coining the phrase by (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

A. I'm actually in favor of less taxation, but that it is not the way our system is currently structured and I am not going to hold my breath waiting for a change. B. I don't want to get mired in a discussion about what is 'income' v. 'capital' -- (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
