#1 Hmm Sounds like Giuliani against some art work in Brooklyn a while back

#2 "...enraged students on Tuesday ransacked the Department of Visual Studies of the University of Karachi, destroying musical instruments, sculptures and paintings."
"Hmm Sounds like Giuliani against some art work in Brooklyn a while back"
Remind us again NMM,just how much ransacking and destruction did Guiliana do? You have a strange way of comparing events.

#3 Except Guiliani didn't trash the exhibit and destroy personal property. Also, he voiced his dislike of the works, while these students used they're fists. Interesting way of solving arguements, I must admit. I can just imagine Ted Kennedy getting hog-tied by Scott Delay with a cowboy hat!

#4 In NMM's limited vision of the world, there are two categories, "For me" and "Against Me". Thus, given his limited categorization skills, it's perfectly okay to lump in vandals who destroy an art exhibit with a mayor who voiced a first amendment right to verbally register opposition.

No nuance. No perception. No great skill.

No thinking.

#6 You gotta admit tho that NMM stays on message.

LOL Any other Star Wars fans out there? Now I'm always going to picture NMM as the overweight A-wing pilot sharing his cramped cockpit with chip packets and burger cartons (my mental additions, but they were always appropriate), who, being pursued by Darth Vader, is urged to "stay on target! STAY ON TARGET!", immediately before his predictable fiery demise.

The Democrats are nothing if not a disciplined party.

Prediction: major troll-storms across the 'net, as the Dems try their best to confuse the little matter of their plan to turn the intel oversight committee into a political playground. I base this prediction on the pattern that ANY time something looks good for Bush, or bad for the Donks, the trolls come out in force.

#8 Personal computers were among the other things destroyed.

Mullah Omar seems to think Pentium 4 are just fine. Must be especially offensive that during the holy month of Ramadan a PC is being used for something other than planning a terrorist attack.

#10 "The Democrats are nothing if not a disciplined party"

what? then we must be nothing, cause we sure as hell are NOT a disciplined party. We run all over each other and fight each other with glee, as is currently happening on the campaign trail.

The Net i think is somewhat different - a small group of activists has formed, mainly from the left fringe, who do share things and coordinate to some degree (although the conservative blog world does similar things, perhaps to a lesser degree) As far as I can tell the hawkish and more blue collar elements of the dem party, and for that matter the African americans in the dem party, are simply not very present on the web, at least not in politial debates.

#11 "Admitting that music was being played at the department, Dr Qazi said nobody approached her or any of the departmentâs other faculty members to express disapproval or reservations regarding the show."

-Play Free-bird!!

#12 LH, you make a good point. The Dems have seem to have been taken way too far left by some fringe elements. Some may argue the same for the GOP but I think the recent wins in Govenorships & house seats tells a different story. The average American sees people like Kucinich & Sharpton for what they are.

#13 And I picture Bulldog as a Winston Churchill look-a-like puffing on a big cigar sitting in a gentleman's club still bemoaning the loss of India.
Ptah-- For me or against me? Reminds me of something GW said...but I'm sure irony is wasted on you

Oh, how I wish that was true!

On further thought, it was a Y-Wing, and he was urging, not being urged, to "STAY ON TARGET!"

#15 That was Gold Five, Bulldog, and he was an old feller. When you get to be an old feller, you might get pudgy, too.

(My brother would've known that without looking it up, but I had to.)

There was also a pudgy young pilot, that I remember, but I don't think he had any lines.
