My take is that the primary intent of this presentation is not to use fear to influence or change minds, but instead to drive home the point that 2000 soldiers have died so far in a war that was sold to the American people under false pretenses. Hence the repeated juxtiposition in this presentation of dead soldiers against Bush Administration lies about Iraq's purported WMDs and ties to al Qaeda.

Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces. The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well. He said Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl. Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children. "We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said. The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family of 18 next May. The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family's construction project, a 7,000-square foot house that should be finished before Christmas. The home, which the family has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers. Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn't ready to make a formal announcement. Michelle Duggar had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married. Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; and Jackson Levi, 1. ------------------------------ From: "Andrew Murawa" Subject: Re: Hard ttimes in NE Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 11:10:59 -0700 "Neil X." wrote in message news:1129090446.955419.168030@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > >> Andrew Murawa wrote: >> >> Don't start whining about a few injuries now after >> having been left relatively unscathed during the past two seasons... > > > > Damn man, last year we lost our 5-time All-Pro cornerback Ty Law.

Wow, so you lost one guy for the season, a couple guys for half the season, and another guy for two games, and you had injury problems? Talk to the Panthers or the Titans, each of whom had at least half of their starters lost to season-ending injuries... Injuries are a part of the game, certainly, but by and large, the Pats escaped major injury problems each of the last two seasons... ------------------------------ From: "Andrew Murawa" Subject: Re: Hard ttimes in NE Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 11:12:41 -0700 "JC Martin" wrote in message news:lZa3f.2150$Aw.38859@typhoon.sonic.net... > Neil X. wrote: >>>Andrew Murawa wrote: >>> >>>Don't start whining about a few injuries now after >>>having been left relatively unscathed during the past two seasons... >> >> >> >> >> Damn man, last year we lost our 5-time All-Pro cornerback Ty Law.

Midwives used to prescribe cannabis tea for labouring >women to ease labour, but it had no hallucinogenic effect at all. You can get the required effect by "dry-hopping" (dry-hemping?) the beer with cannabis. THC is alcohol-soluable, so after primary fermenation has stopped you could transfer to a new fermenting vessel and add some weed and wait a week or two for the THC to leach into the beer. Then bottle (or keg) and serve. It's hard to say how much of the desired effect you get since for so many people smoking weed goes hand in hand with drinking beer. ------------------------------ From: "Effty" Subject: Re: Arkansas Mother Gives Birth to 16th Child (NDC) Date: 12 Oct 2005 11:27:20 -0700 Jinger!?!

The Yankees massively under-achieved. They had the same regular-season record as the Red Sox and finished one game worse than the Angels. They have been "re-loading" for the past five years without succeeding, given how much money they have tied up in players who are not producing (especially their pitching staff) it's hard to see how they will be able to re-load effectively. Even Steinbrenner has limits to how much he will spend. They appear to be reverting to their style in the '80s - get expensive free agents with no real thought to how they will perform as a team. >>>>>Can't wait to watch the Sox dismantled.
