Or carriage returns. Or the old typeface. Or comments without page breaks. About the resurrection of Hallucigate: I'm guessing the money for playing the clown in the background of that E-Trade commercial finally ran out. The baby was right, though, about underestimating the creepiness. About the banner: OK, but I really would have preferred restoration of Preview if it had to be one or the other. Or carriage returns.

He should stand as a stark reminder of just how big a hole this country is busy climbing out of, and might possibly be an inspiration to keep a united front. .

And hulagate - please, go back to QH or obamish, hulagate sounds like a cat throwing up. Not pleasant. There ya go, textee, hulagate shows you how to do it.

Not Joe Scarborough nor Mike Smerconish. Both of them have basically said the country SHOULD torture if it means saving lives. They aren't even trying to make a distinction anymore. They are using the "24" defense and telling anyone that disagrees to suck it. Mind you I have been a huge fan of 24 since it first started coming on but after watching the new episodes its evident that they are trying to make a political statement this year instead of trying to tell a story. Last season sucked bad enough, I think I am done with it all together now. formerlyjames
