And what was W doing in '84?
|
Sitting down with his dad, the Israelis, the Saudis and the heads of Texaco, Exxon and BP laying out the groundwork for (1) a bloody attack on American soil, (2) an Afghan gas pipeline, and (3) an imperialist takeover of the world's oil supply.
At least in the movie version anyway.

I didn't ignore your point. I didn't fully grasp it. Non-competitive bidding in such cases makes sense. However, there are numerous contracts where your point on proprietary technological superiority doesn't apply. In such cases, there really isn't any reason for not using competitive bidding.
Much like democracy, it's a lousy system, except for all the others.

Was this before or after his dad secretly flew to Iran in the SR-71 (most of which only had 1 seat)? I always get this mixed up...

Shortly after his speech to the RNC, and after challenging Chris Matthews to a duel, Zell Miller apparently went out on the town and drank the blood of the living.

Dissent. He may or may not have been on it, but you haven't proven he was for it. And remember this when you try and counter the point -- this is the PB, where only links to blogs count as proof.

Speaking of Zell
Quote of the day:
From Ramesh Ponnuru:
MEMO TO ROBERT BYRD
"One thing we've learned from the reaction to Zell Miller: If Senator Byrd ever switches parties, suddenly everyone is going to remember that he was a Klansman"

He's a Republican. Hasn't attended a Democratic party meeting since he came to Washington as a senator. He just never got around to filing the paperwork.

For the "inclusive" party, they sure seem intolerant of different views in their own ranks...

We think it's indecorous to endorse the other party's candidate and speak at his convention, and that means we're bigoted?
All indications are that Bilmore is a turncoat, if you look back far enough, but we still love him like a brother. We just want him to stop voting. And talking. Same with Zell.

Naw, we're just eerily prescient (see, e.g., WMD & "let the inspections work"). I thought Reagan was a dick back when he was a Dem working for Nixon.* Turns out I was right about him.
You got all exercised about the fair play of beating Ashcroft with a dead guy, but not a peep about Rodney Alexander? It's like you only sober up and post when your ox is being gored.
*This is a joke. In 1960 I could easily have perished in a nocturnal emission. I was one of the lucky ones who survived the entire Vietnam Era safely ensconced in a 4-F's vas deferens.

Wow. You seem like you realy understand the UN. Do you think the new chastising of Syria is real, or just a way to replace the oil for food kickback $$$ the Annan family lost?
