    Murtha is obviously teflon. Between abscam and this investigation, he seems to have a proven ability to stand close to a fire without actually getting burned.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Is she the CA congressperson, who is also facing questions about her house in Maryland? If so and either way, I've seen the headlines, but haven't really followed the story.

    It's sort of the same way with Murtha; He seems to be under investigation a lot and allegations always flying, but I haven't really paid attention because apparently he'll be in office until he decides to retire.

    @Magister: Possibly... it started a few years ago with houses and alleged mortgage fraud in California, and there was a big coverup, and then Pelosi and Steny Whore gave her a big party to raise money for her bills.

    Not so fast. Champagne isn't having such a good year either.

    The lower-case generic use of "champagne" by the WSJ really annoys me.

    "20 million bubbles in a bottle of champagne," huh?

    And how many angels can get drunk off of 20 million bubbles and sloppily dance on the heads of pins?

    On the bright side, Rio (and Brazil in general) would likely have a significant amount of child-bearing age females who survive the flood and help to re-populate the world. #2012

    In reply to Gawker Guessing Game: The New York Post's Heavy Metal Headline
    My favorite part of all this is assholes like Peter King saying we shouldn't be trying these people in New York because it makes New York a terrorist target. Uh.... ?

    Also. Where were idiots like him when dudes like Ramseh Yousef were on trial here? Oh, I guess he only reads the memos about terrorists who kill more than 2,000 people at a pop.

    One last point. I can't see how executing these guys is a punishment. If I were them, it'd be exactly what I'm hoping for. Let's see - the next 50 years rotting in solitary confinement in a maximum security federal prison, or a quick martyrdom that takes me to my 72 virgins? Hmmm, tough choice there.

    I'm not necessarily against the death penalty because it's barbaric (though it is), I'm mostly against it because it's just not a very tough punishment against people who clearly don't care about human life to begin with, including their own. #headlines

    This should have happened years ago. Our criminal justice system is one of the many things that sets us apart from the world's many authoritarian, anti-democratic regimes. If indeed we were attacked for our freedom, it's manifested in our willingness to have an open and transparent court system, not our $3 toasters.

    I wonder if that headline is referring to all Muslims..........or just the terrorist ones who were responsible for the 9-11 tragedy?

    @Buttafooco: Since it specifically mentions the 9/11 fiends, I think you already know the answer. No need to try and ruffle feathers.
    If you were kidding, or being sarcastic, I apologize, but when it comes to things like this, some people like to stir the pot and I feel like that's what you were trying to do. #headlines

    @Topheel: if you've accidentally come across any of my posts, you'd realize almost all of them take a sarcastic/humorous slant. In this case, it was purely sarcastic, given the blatant racial undertones of many stories that comes via the NY Post.
    Sometimes our feathers become ruffled as a result of the insecure winds blowing through them. #headlines
