His accent is clearly Boston, which makes sense considering that's where the story is set. Hers is a bit harder to pin down. Possibly Jersey, but it could also indicate some sort of speech problem that's characteristic of patients taking certain antipsychotic drugs. Perhaps I'm reading too much into...

I called it! Yay Me!

I only hope I'm not so prescient when it comes to our real-life bucket.

The idea that the rest of the world is cowering in fear of the US is more of a hawkish American fantasy than anything else. To paraphrase the North Korean foreign minister, "You called us part of the 'Axis of Evil'. OF COURSE we have a nuclear program! We have to be able to defend ourselves from Am...

Back to the subject at hand, is the improv over? The allegory has caught up to where we are in reality; with all the other buckets cowering in fear of US. Does it end here, or do the other buckets put aside their differences and address the common threat? The political stuff has been fun, but I thin...

Precisely why I don't believe his posts are worth reading or responding to.

Scott, I feel I need to apologize to you as well. As I said, I lost my temper. In your post you isolated the specific statement that caused me to lose my temper, and to abandon any attempt at a point-by-point refutation of Rip's post in favor of a simple assertion of his excretory surfeit. To my min...

No personal flames, please!

Sorry I lost my temper, Greg.

It won't happen again, because I won't be reading any of Rip's posts. Some people simply can't be reasoned with, and he's proved he is one of these.

Okay, I give up.

Rip, you are completely full of shit, and unworthy of further notice.

Seig fuckin' heil!

I'm assuming the two buckets represent Afghanistan and Iraq, the two countries we conquered and then were surprised when they weren't grateful. I'll say one thing about the Star kitties, though; at least they did their own fighting, unlike the draft-dodgers in our own country who sent other people's...

Actually, this little kiddie kittie story is perfect, since so many liberals view this complex world the same as an ignorant, simple child would.

Psychologists describe THIS behavior as "projection."

Look it up.

How about THIS quote:

"...the land of the free and the home of the brave"

America is throwing away its freedom because it is afraid.

I'm ashamed for all of us.

For those who are comfortable with the Bush administration's violations of civil rights, and trust the president not to abuse these extraordinary new powers he's aquired, remember this: A precedent has now been set. Imagine five years from now. Hillary Clinton has just been elected president. Do you...

Here we have an American citizen, held for over a year without charge, without bail, without access to an attorney or his family. After over a year, a federal court has finally ruled that his rights are being violated. http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/12/18/padilla.case/index.html Yeah, yeah, he's an "en...

Rip, getting back to your point about civil rights not being violated, what do you think of this:

"I DON'T believe this administration has done ANYTHING to harm the Bill of Rights, at least anything that hasn't been done by every other previous administration. If you actually read the patriot act, it not as grim as people make it sound. " Ashcroft has stated that he is entitled to arrest anyone ...
