from:Last month, over 50 million Americans smoked tobacco last month, and most of them are "addicted," and over 100 million Americans drank alcohol. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism says about 14 million of them are "alcoholic or abuse alcohol." The institute also says 53 percent of adult Americans say they have a close relative with a "drinking problem." [ Post Comment ] |

What's the difference? Who do these politicians and their appointees really represent? Not I!!! I would be in favor of all the republowcrats jumping up on Savoy Brown's "Hellbound Train" and riding on out of here, the sooner the better. While visiting VoterHemp at: http://www.voterhemp.com I found a a cool pair of old time quotes (I love a bitchin' quote or tune)and here they are: "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."...George Washington "When the people fear the government you have tyranny... when the government fears the people you have liberty."...Thomas Jefferson ***ATTENTION:A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE*** The good ol' shrub boys: dubya, jebya and daddy "boss" shrub request a little more infomation about you all: Please go to: http://www.whitehouse.org/initiatives/patroit and follow the directions. god bless you one and all.

I did not launch too viciously into New Mexico's Bob Burpo in a separate comment yesterday. But some in nm have, i bet. ---------------- I am ever so pleased that Arabs are joining me in my personal boycott of US goods and the US economy in general. DUBAI, Apr 22 - The university cafeteria at the University of Sharjah has stopped selling softdrinks manufactured by U.S. multinationals, and instead stocks other beverages produced in the country or region.... ”If the Arab governments do not boycott American goods, we believe it is our responsibility to take the initiative,'' Jasim added in an interview. ''We are a billion Muslims and imagine how much the U.S. economy would be affected if each of us boycott a softdrink can or all American products.'' This, I think, is a movement that can only grow and could well be very effective too. I'm hoping that Europeans will join. And South and Latin Americans, Africans and Canadians. Money is what Americans understand best, and the world is telling us that it's not happy with our government's behavior. http://commondreams.org/headlines02/0422-01.htm [ Post Comment ] |

When I was a kid and visiting Baltimore, my folks would take me to Polack Johnnie's for the world's best Polish sausage. Now I'll never be able to enjoy one of those wonderful kielbasa sandwiches without thinking of a certain portion of DrugWarrior anatomy. [ Post Comment ] |

Note: Contact info below. from:
Also, from: LEO V. BOYLE
As president of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Boyle, a well-known Massachusetts litigator, moved with lightning speed to preempt any snickering about lawyers taking advantage of the Sept. 11 tragedies. Graceful, articulate and sincere in calling for a moratorium on lawsuits, Boyle, who practices with the firm Meehan, Boyle, Black & Fitzgerald, was instrumental in lending ATLA's unprecedented support to the federal Victim Compensation Fund. His effort to encourage trial lawyers to handle the claims pro bono may have been good PR, but it was also a genuine attempt to prove that trial lawyers do care. LAWRENCE S. GREENWALD
Attempts to hold gun makers liable for crime have met with mostly negative results thus far, as evidenced by a case this year from New York, in which the state's highest court ruled that gun manufacturers could not be held liable on a "market share" theory. The case was filed by relatives of victims of handgun violence who claimed that several gun manufacturers - including Greenwald's clients Beretta USA Corp. and American Arms Inc. - should be liable even though the plaintiffs didn't know which company actually produced the guns. The New York Court of Appeals sided with Greenwald's clients and the other defendants, ruling that there could be no recovery under a "negligent marketing" theory just because the evidence was unavailable. Greenwald, a veteran litigator at Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, has been a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers since 1982.

..let's take another look at what Barry said..""We didn't give Gov. Ridge the tools he needed to do his job," said McCaffrey. "He needed to have a federal law telling him what the Congress wants him to do." "He needed to have a federal law telling him what the Congress wants him to do." "He needed to have a federal law telling him what the Congress wants him to do." "He needed to have a federal law telling him what the Congress wants him to do." .............does anyone think this is a normal,,rational statement???????????????????????????? ????,,,,oh well,,perhaps I'm being too picky,and critical. ..........May I offer you a piece of fresh catshit?

"McCaffrey said Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge will have a tough time coordinating the counterterrorism efforts of more than 40 federal agencies, including the FBI and CIA, with a staff of just 100 people. "We didn't give Gov. Ridge the tools he needed to do his job," said McCaffrey. "He needed to have a federal law telling him what the Congress wants him to do." Since Sept. 11th, and the Congress's shameful abdication of it's prerogatives in reviewing legislation before it is voted upon (they didn't read the so-called PATRIOT ACT before they voted on it) the Executive Branch has rightly concluded that Congress was gelded without it's knowledge or consent. (Must have happened during some luncheon with some lobbyist seeking to get Congress off the back of some mega-corp run by Bush's GOP friends for breaking a law.) Since that time, Congress has sought and failed to get an accounting from The White House as to it's minions running loose without much supervision...or leashes. The climate is distinctly chilly between Congress and the White House...which Barry, if he had any understanding, would have realized before he opened his mouth. But true to his ways, he is exhibitinbg the exact same lack of understanding vis-a-vis Congress as he did the DrugWar. I find it doubly ironic that Barry's sib is opening a victim's rights law office. What happens when the US finally comes to its' senses about cannbais...and all those who's lives have been eviscerated by the DrugWar look for compensation? If anyone deserves legal aid for 'victim's rights', it's every person who's had his or her life destroyed by Barry and Company. Should we call upon Barry's sister? [ Post Comment ] |
