19. doing my damnedest to understand
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 11:56 PM by msedano
what motivates the speaker's cowardice. or is it puro fear that when iran takes over iraq and syria invades to widen its borders, israel will nuke 'em all, the long and the short and the tall, then where will the u.s. be other than up shit creek without a canoe? the entirety of opec will boycott the u.s. market, china will have cornered african resources, ecoterrorists will repeatedly destroy alaskan pipelines leading to irreversible damage to that tender environment--talk about irony. mexico will demand 5X market price for its near-by oil. with the riches garnered from its heavy crude, mexico will be a paradise and all sorts of gente now residing in northern aztlán will head for the border, even if they don't have driver licenses. food prices will skyrocket and there'll be mass starvation in the states when crops rot in the fields for lack of hands to harvest. talk about grapes of wrath and chickens coming home to roost!

pelosi ranks up there with the greatest political disappointments in history.

alternative analysis: it's a smokescreen to buy conyers time. pelosi is far more clever than her detractors credit. i just produced cold fusion in my kitchen with a blender and a microwave.
