      Thanks James. Great job. Someday I hope to think of something witty enough to get included in your WIR.

      James, how could you miss the story about Giselle Bundchen possibly starring in the next Austin Powers movie?!

      Just kidding...

      When's that interview going to show up here on Propeller? Or did I miss it?

        Nice James, but let's not overlook..

        http://donoevil.propeller.com/story/2008/04/10/...

        The Iraq war story brought in 171 votes and 228 comments.

        Some high points included ML2007 said:

        "This article should be mandatory reading for every man and woman in America. How anyone can read this article and not question what we as a country has done, is beside me. I found it interesting that this article was written by foreigners. Maybe other countries around the world can keep the fires built and the pressure on to bring the Bush crowd to justice. If these are not war crimes, exactly what are? The US does not have and has never had the right to make a preemptive strike on a sovereign nation. Does this thought make me anti American or unpatriotic? NO! It makes me patriotic because I want to return this run away government back to its people, and I want its people to be delivered by the tyrants who have been practicing treason to our Constitution."

            Please read my comments more carefully next time. I would never use the absence of evidence as proof for anything.

              Obama screwing the Democrat Party.

              He and his campfollowers contend that the Bush and the Clinton administration are the same. His insistence that he thinks that the job creation, lowering the national debt, strengthening the dollar and maintain low oil pricing is not important and equivalent to the Bush administration pushes the Clinton Democrats and the GOP into a singular camp.

              Does he thing he can win the Whitehouse with 25% of the population solidly behind him?

              Reaching across the Isles? He can't even reach across the divide he has created within the democratic party.
