pas de qwa... I know you meant 'humbled'... so have a weekend, say hi to your cousin, and keep the shiny side up! (I almost typed 'Rubber side down' but I fear for your health sometimes...) ZENbasta (Friday Oct 10 | post #69)
G.O.P. Facing Tougher Battle for Congress
but you missed one important point: Few Americans are still drinking your Kool-Aid... they're opting in to Reality... there will be no McCain presidency, and y'all will be lucky to maintain about 35% of the House at this rate... If you want Energy Independance, do what I did: - live where there's a clockwork-style Mass transit; - sell your car (and carpool to ski with eligible women intermediate skiers); - bicycle! my insurance is lower because I ride >2000km/yr Have no fear, America: the Kool-Aid is running low...

Dow falls below 9,000 as stocks extend declines
So you're proud of dragging down the world economy? The market isn't 'falling', nor 'failing', sassy... It's finding its REALITY level, through stripping away the Derivatives Varnish... And soon it'll be safer, once it's re-regulated... Do yourself a favour and Google 'tapeworm economy'... ZENjd (Friday Oct 10 | post #310)
Is Paulson's Bailout Proposal Constitutional? No
damn thorough, my friend: you only left out Wendy and Phil Gramm (who recently replaced James Baker iii (doesn't deserve CAPS heh heh) on the ZEN list of Most Dangerous Americans list) {btw: The Bush Family Evil Empire is ranked outside the 'individuals' category} Seems wherever you or I show up (and others, like Professor Veritas), the Kool-Aid'rs disappear... They must be on orders from their Cell-Leaders not to tackle our brilliance (bwaaaaahaha) ZENweekendsoon (Friday Oct 10 | post #492)

how can Raymond write shit and not be censured by Topix, when I even write 'tit' (as in 'tit-for-tat', a very old and not indecent expression) I get 'STOPPED' by the Topix thought police... Let us, however, analyse what Raymie has written... D'oh! (get it? Do-re-mi?) MOeP writes a universal Fact: football (that's soccer in US / UK) is the national sport in France... Raymie writes 'You clearly do not know France, at all.' MOeP cites (without links) PROOF... Raymie writes NOTHING to negate that... and offers no alternative sports... not Cycling, not Tennis, not pétanque... (heh heh: ZEN does 'know France'... heh heh heh heh) EARLIER, ZEN wrote about LNDD evidence: 'is good enough evidence to effect that LIFETIME ban???' Raymie ignores it all day (ignoring a premise is not the same as refuting it, mon vieux (my old friend))... "Democracy, I've shit it'... (in FR-to-EN, that actually should come out as "Democracy, makes me puke") But, all in all, Raymie ignored MOeP's valid point: if Raymie wants to change ALL DOPING offenses to 'banned for life', he better get his cousin to go to the next World WADAthon and fight for rule changes he can live with... Raymie, can you honestly believe your lab WORKS, instead of being one of those Great State institutions whose primary rule is GET MORE MONEY, and which rule's corollary is DO NOTHING TO UPSET RULE #1???

But not if they're French, then we can find a way to 'circumvent' any rules Raymond 'self-proclaims'.. . ZEN))) (Friday Oct 10 | post #65)
Baby A... so you want to apply this Section against Obama? Where were you when Reagan announced 'FROM HIS INAUGURATION' that he KNEW that the Iran Hostages were coming home? There: riddle yourself how Reagan AND Bush-daddy weren't guilty of this? You cannot. ZENjd (Friday Oct 10 | post #14)

Palin's trouble isn't her lack of experience
Where's your link, Missy? "As you already know, the group is the Alaska Independence Party, which sees as its ultimate goal seceding from the union. Todd was a member, with a brief exception, from 1995 until 2002, according to the Division of Elections in Alaska.

Landis takes case to US federal court
I just received by email, the 134 p Submission by Floyd for the Calif case... after getting through the 'Table of Cases' (sigh... long) I realize how much reading I'll have this weekend... Thanks to He Who Sent It, ... it will be interesting to see the Court's reaction, vis-à-vis Young's statement (because this isn't a case 'of substance', ie: can Gatlin participate in Summer Oly's) that 'nobody ever wins if they don't go to the Swiss Courts'. What would be interesting, is to see how much of this material could be used IN a Swiss Court... ZENhomework (Thursday Oct 9 | post #19)
Landis takes case to US federal court
I've been weighing the various benefits of a non-CAS system myself, Jon, and am glad to see you've already written on that. At some point, 'Justice' has to take a priority over 'let's keep ALL OF IT "In the family"!' (eg: CAS and IOC and now WADA - as incestuous a system as anything devised outside of LNDD-AFLD-fr MinSport)... But I'm still debating that... :-) Rarely can anyone call me 'wishy-washy' but this is that kind of 'Consequence Analysis' process... ZENd (Thursday Oct 9 | post #16)
