They intend to use that technology to attack Israel and US interest worldwide. They are planning huge attacks in Afghanistan on US soldiers to send a message to the American people that this will be a very bloody war.

Zen Lill, I know you are busy. But I still look forward to your enlightened, sexy, serious repartee. Imaging that big smile on your face when you are commenting sometimes tongue in cheek makes my day.

Thanks babe, You are the bomb.

I wonder how those conservatives would feel if their daughter were one of the girls held by Iran or N. Korea and they were being water boarded to get what those countries consider “essential” information.

It seems to me that men like my husband who have always managed to avoid putting their lives in harms way for their country or anything else are the ones who are so quick to accept “enhanced interrogation techinques,” or even torture if is would “save lives.”

It seems these cowards are willing to accept anything that would spare their lives. It doesn’t seem to matter that our government’s willingness to torture would make it okay for other countries to torture our service men and women and anyone else they capture.

Of course, it doesn’t matter to men like my husband because they feel they will be able to use their connections never to be put in a situation were they would be exposed to the dangers their conduct puts others in.

My husband rails when he sees your name in the comment section of Michelle’s blog. Keep it up! If my husband’s reaction is any indication, white men are very uneasy with sharing the “man” position with OTWs, and white women.

Some grammatical mistakes are so common they may not even sound wrong to you — but you can be sure at least a few others will recognize the error. Here are some mistakes that even the best writers and speakers make sometimes…

All tolled. The correct phrase is all told.
Between you and I. Use between you and me.
Daylight Savings Time. It’s saving, not savings.
Equally as. Don’t use the two words together. One or the other will do. Examples: “The new version is equally bad”… “The new version is as bad.”
Graduated high school/college. The preferred expression is graduated from.
Irregardless. Use regardless instead.
It’s vs. its. Use the apostrophe only if the intended meaning is “it is.” Its — without an apostrophe — is the possessive form of “it.”
Sworn testimony/sworn deposition. To qualify as testimony or a deposition, statements must be made under oath — so the word sworn is redundant.
Waiting on. If you are awaiting a person’s arrival, use waiting for. Waiting on should be used only when referring to serving customers in restaurants, stores, etc.
Waiting in line is the standard expression (“I’m waiting in line to pay at the cash register”). Waiting on line is a regional expression heard largely in the Northeast.
