First, the LDS church says you shouldn't drink caffeine, not that you can't. Just because some people exercise their freedom to avoid something doesn't mean they don't have a choice.
Second, Neal say's he drinks decaf. Then he must inject the real stuff directly into his heart. (How do we know he has a heart? He has a papillon.)

It's obvious to me why Obama doesn't want to go to the annual Gridiron Dinner.

No Kobe' beef, and as someone already said, teleprompters would look silly.

I almost got a giggle today, though, so that's a good way to start a weekend.

I heard a local talk show host refer to him as TurboTax Timmy. I thought that was pretty funny.

chris13, would your question be like in a state full of Southern Baptist the government does not allow the sale of beer and wine at grocery stores on a Sunday? Religious implications?

We never heard about the dirty bomb case because he wasn't muslim, foreign, or leftist. The media is extremely hesitant to report on right wing terrorism. Probably because a lot of the Republicans sympathize with right wing terrorists at home and abroad.

We should all remember prominent Republicans, including their favorite president, have directly aided terrorists groups, including Islamic extremists.

A lot of big time Republicans, like Erik Prince of Blackwater (the paramilitary group), have had significant dealings with domestic extremist groups as well.

In addition, many prominent Southern politicians, including Trent Lott, and a number of other governors and representatives, have participated with the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens by delivering speeches at their convention. Mike Huckabee did as well, but by videotape due to scheduling, and he later seems to have decided he won't do it again because of their racism. He would've had to be a total idiot or completely irresponsbile to not realize they were a racist group the first time around, though. They don't hide it.

That's not to mention the general hatred of homosexuals and immigrants, among other groups, that the Republican party condones. We've had a Senator declare proudly that he had no gays in his family, on the Senate floor. We've also had a Senator say we should execute doctors who perform abortions. Are we expected to believe he doesn't strongly sympathize with abortion clinic bombers?

And then there's people like Huckabee saying we need to rewrite the Constitution to match the Bible, and not being too far from being nominated. If you don't think that made more than a few domestic terrorists' day, you're fooling yourself.

Plus, these right wing extremists have more guns than anybody, and Republicans think they have a right to possess assault weapons.

From what I've read, the likelihood of him successfully making a dirty bomb was slim, but if he had been a muslim, we would have three weeks of nonstop coverage plus a thousand press conferences and discussions of combatting the dirty bomb threat, and more than a few Republican congressmen suggesting we pursue arbitrary military action.

The police never even got wind of this till his wife shot him after years of abuse.

And take note, this Nazi scumbag wasn't a loser; he was very rich, and that does not make him unique among our domestic right wing terrorists.

Utah, a state chock full of people who belong to a religion that says you cannot have caffine, is going to tax caffine???????
Is there something I'm missing?

If this guy was REALLY smart, he wouldn't have gotten caught.

It is obvious why he is missing this dinner. I firmly believe it is because, if you look at the format and setup of this dinner in the past, it is not a place you can bring teleprompters. You can, but it would look unbelievably awkward!

That is why I think he didn't have a formal press conference with PM Brown last week. Think about the setup. You have the President and the PM standing at 2 podiums side by side a few feet apart. Now imagine if Obozo put teleprompters on his podium! How pathetic would it look with the PM standing next to him?? How pathetic would, what is supposed to be a personal exchange, look when Obozo's head is going left and right reading the prompter while never making eye contact with the PM. This dolt is a disgrace.

Here's how you punish madoff. Make him work at minimum wage for the rest of his life. If he's going to take advantage of the capitalist system, he can spend his life living like a communist.

Isn't the Gridiron club a club for journalists? I don't think it has anything to do with jocks, Neal!

Congress's decision to celebrate pi in the midst of what is happening is irrational!
[sorry, somebody had to get that out of the way]

He bought depleted uranium (some will need to look this up) over the internet? Did he tell them he needed it for armor piercing rounds to use on up-armored deer?
