DISQUS

333 3rd.....terrible interior layout! Strange up & down stairs on the back of the house. Dated, bad flooring (very noisy!), no view, terrible housing market....if I have to guess, this house won't move until the price is around 1.2~1.3m....good luck.

I wasn't in Vietnam but my older brother was a Marine Lt. Straight from college to Qua. Va. to Vietnam. At 21 he went thinking he was doing his duty as a man and an American. I followed the war thru his letters for a year. I remember the exact one that made me realize all illusions of any victory or even just cause were gone and his fight was to keep as many of his men alive as possible.

When he came home he gave away his uniforms, his three purple hearts, his 2 bronze stars and his silver star. The only thing he would ever pick up a weapon for again or let his two sons fight against would be an invasion of the US proper.

Vietnam showed us what our government was and made us rightful cynics.

It is clear to any detached observer that if not for violent resistence from Hamas and others over the years Israel would have already rolled over Palestine and consumed it competely.



Since this conflict, and most especially America's part in enabling Israel's occupation , hit my radar screen 7 years ago I have followed and looked at this in terms of what would I do if I were a Palestine? How would I react to the provocations, the land grabs, the strangleing of my country, the decimation of my livihood, the stealing of my resources, the collective punishment and humilations, the targeting of my unarmed children?



I have thought about this and wondered if Israel's promised land had been part of Maine or South Carolina and they had used the same tactics here as they have used in creating their Greater Israel in Palestine what would have happened?



I am 99.9% certain that if that had been the case, Israel and the Israelis would have become extinct in short order and nothing but a small footnote in history.



I can't condemn Hamas for their actions, I would do the same thing and probably more and worse in defense of my land and my family.

If Lantos was grateful for the opportunity given to him by America he certainly didn't repay it.

He may have served his Jewish constituents loyalty to Israel well in his office of public trust but he did not act on or serve the once admired principles of the United States.

How does one judge a man like this?

Do we add his good works and then subtract the lives he has cost in the Isr-Pal conflict he supported all thru the years?

Not to speak ill of the dead let us just say he was a man of selective morality.

I don't know how to judge selective morality.

Your defense of your hyperbole is that you are merely cliche? LOL!

The 2 are not mutually exclusive, but thanks for documenting your copy-cat tendencies. FYI, a Google search does not prove your temperance.  Have you ever surfed the Internet?  Decorum or good taste are hardly its hallmark.

Does your hyperbole please anyone? Does anyone else think that so-called journalists should shriek and boldly adopt such extreme tones while allegedly reporting a story?  I've not seen anyone endorse that practice except you.

Perhaps it's your ridiculous hyperbole that dooms your credibility a "political knife fight"??  that's silly, juvenile language which makes it hard to take you seriously

Who nominated the judge has nothing to do with it In your post, you should have described the process by which the chief judge is picked, which is based on a combination of seniority, age of the judge, and the judge's desire to serve as chief.  The process has nothing to do with who nominated the judge to the bench, as your post implies.

Also, does the chief judge of the 10th Circuit really appoint magistrate judges, as you claim?  I didn't think the appellate court had magistrate judges? (what purpose would they serve?).  I believe the district court (or the chief thereof) selects the magistrate judges who work at the district court level.

Your emo posts are some of the best writing i've ever seen. Please don't change anything about your blog

Irony or hypocrisy? Waak came into power on Mike Miles' "Be the Change" wave.  Those folks lambasted Chris Gates for allegedly supporting Salazar over Miles in the 2004 US Senate primary, and such criticism was the basis for Waak supplanting Gates as chair of the party.  Now that she's in power, she seems to be doing exactly what Gates was accused of, but much more nakedly.

bwuahaha you must be talking about (edited)..... did you know that (edited) personal name card has 'BLOGGER' on it..... so thick skin..... not like (edited) blog damn nice or wat. make money blog nia

This site used to be a place where one can exchange ideas--now posts can be buried!

It sounds to me like media matters has changed your marching orders from idea expression to censorship--shame on you

You mean he is worse than the one who committed perjury?
I don't think so, but it depends on what your definition of is is.

Which is the temp jet fuel burns at?
What the hell is with you Rosie nuts?

And on 9-10-01 the moon was slightly to the eclpitic of Mars
Cut us all a break!

I think DJK should get on the UFO with Dennis and just fly away---energize!!!

A Party member…is supposed to live in a continuous frenzy of hatred of foreign enemies and internal traitors, triumph over victories, and self-abasement before the power and wisdom of the Party. The discontents produced by his bare, unsatisfying life are deliberately turned outwards and dissipated by such devices as the Two Minutes Hate, and the speculations which might possibly induce a skeptical or rebellious attitude are killed in advance by his early acquired inner discipline…called, in Newspeak, crimestop. Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

Sounds just like media matters, not does'nt it?
This site is all about hate, hate of a cable news channel--hypocrite

And you just can't stand it, can you?

As far as distortions--one need look on futher than this site and media matters

Agree
Who cares about Rosie--What a buffoon!

I have to laugh reding Jim's response to 2 faced about ill mannered people and pointing out Gramme Frost-the political 12 year old foot ball--
You have the NERVE to talk about right winger when the looney hollywood left consitantly trashes this country, its leaders -- but that's ok, they get a pass--its ok for Harry (national embarrassment) Reid announces we have lost the war while soldiers are fighting a war---but that's ok--its fine for the left to constantly put down the USA anytime anywhere and you , my freind, give em a pass.

The right may do some stupid things but there minor leaguers compared to you guys

haha....i think i know who is the act dumb girl you are referring to

Jenny, I do not care how people preceive my comment. I know for sure that many of you always whine. Jared tends to criticize others. Go read his previous posts. That's why I stop visiting his blog except foe this post, because it discusses vlogs.

In fact, he is actually putting down other vloggers by saying us how do he process selecting vloggers. He is not really helping vloggers to improve. Only one statement he asks of vloggers is to put more entertainment in vlogs. That's discouraging!

Let them be themselves sharing their thoughts. Be they short or long, silly or serious, or ugly or attarctive.

There is no need to take a closer look.

Look at hearing vloggers and bloggers! There is a WIDE range of different kinds. Some hearing vloggers' video go over 10 min, even 30 or 60 min. No one complains.

Most of you deaf people always whine! Every issue! All you do is complaining, crying, protesting, disagreeing and clawing down deaf vloggers.

Shut up! You can make your own choices whether to watch vlogs or not.

No need to set standards! Awareness? That's so absurd! Just let them be free and express.

Let me tell you the truth. The real problem is copycats, including you, Jared. They are all over the Deafread.

Poor those vloggers or bloggers who tend to be very original. It can be very annoying watching vlogs discussing the similar issues.

Jared, you just repeat other vloggers and you preach. They do not. Do not preach something you do not practice. Your previous vlogs go over 3 or 4 minutes and they are not educational or entertainment. Only one vlog you did the best is the baton thing. What happened?

It is hard to do vlogging. You could not do a better job.

IamMine & Boo Boo, here's my mooning. (_@_)

Joey? Amy? ASC? They do not post as often as vloggers should. I do not think they are vloggers at all. Vloggers or bloggers are supposed to post frequently. That's all about blogging or vlogging. At least once a week, not a month or two.

I concur with Boo that blogs can be boring, too. Mos of them are very DRY!

Your blog is one of many deaf blogs I do not frequent, but this post catch my attention, because you use the keyword, vlog.

I enjoy vlogs whether be they short or long. Most of them are intriguing. Jay K. & Teri S. are one of my favorite vloggers ( I am surprised you did not mention them). No matter how long their vlogs are, they do know how to hook their audience. Signing fluently is one of important factors of vlogging (deaf) . They sign eloquently, which I often forget what their messages are. Their vlogs are like smorgasboard discussing many different issues, not necessarily related to deaf issues. That's what make them very interesting. I always look forward to watching them sign.

I am sick of reading about deaf issues! Why cannot you vloggers or blogger enlighten us with NEW and interesting discourses.

With your "rules", they do drive out some vloggers. Your prediciton of the number of vloggers at the end of this year will be absolutely wrong if you insist us to follow your guidelines, as well as Deafread.
