#4 Mr. Pruitt, are you home rearly because you had a run-in with the ATF regarding your dynamite fishing? Gee, if you had to pay a fine, I guess the readers here could tip the tip jar.

#6 They didn't have cameltoes back in the olden days, wimmen were very dignified during that era.

#7 In fact, if I understand the 50's correctly, many wimmen didn't even had genitalia, because they were too chaste and modest for that.

#22 per Legoal' link: US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld was leery about any Israeli military offensive against Hizballah, fearing complications for the US army in Iraq at the peak of a surging sectarian civil war.

But Olmert talked Rice into asking President George W. Bush to back the air offensive. The US president acceded – only laying down two basic conditions: Israel must confine itself to an air campaign; before embarking on a ground offensive, a further American go-ahead would be required. The second was a promise to spare Lebanon’s civilian infrastructure and only go for Hizballah’s positions and installations.

This had better not be true.

#24 TW, a huge grain of salt is in order when you read Debka explaining how all the problems are due to people outside of the sometimes corrupt Israeli leadership.

#25 (1)I think there was plenty of blame on israeli leadership if you read the entire article, (2)I do take debka with a grain of salt, however (3)after having read them for several years I find then right more often than not )4) after watching this whole thing play out, it is a definite possiblity

#26 Besoeker who's going to have the guts to explain the Shuttlecock? High drag, indeed!

#27 OK! I'll give it a try. "A shuttlecock is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It has an open conical shape, with a rounded head at the apex......"

#28 With a 30 cent motor mount a shuttlecock can be used with a 1/4A rocket motor to demonstrate rocket flight in a classroom. Very exciting.
