I'm sure Big Mouse will be having a word with them.

here's the message I sent to Disney:

Scoscia pulled his starter in the seventh even though the guy had just retired Damon and was one out away from getting out of it. Now the Yankees have scored six runs and the Angels are probably doomed. Any ch... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/128 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:23:08 They still cling to the delusion that they could have "won" in Vietnam.

They want to use THIS war to try to prove that.

They never wanted you to be president.

And they know that escalating and bringing in more troops will do unto you what it did
unto LBJ: destroy you and put someone wh... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/127 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:57:50 Judging from the look he had on his face when Obama got the big cheer on the line about how "the Iraq War and tax cuts for the wealthy" weren't paid for.... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/126 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:48:24 If you claim to be progressive and also anti-Chavez, you need to acknowledge this. Our history in Latin America was of constant hostility towards anyone who worked for any meaningful social change within the bounds of "representative democracy".

Our country usually overthrew the governments that... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/125 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:51:54 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Women%27s_Forum

Therefore, you don't need to act like you're the junior partner in a coalition.

When you stand up to the thugs and the 'pugs is when you're strongest. When you negotiate with them, you're at your weakest and at their mercy. It's just not worth it... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/123 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:07:54 I admit I thought the worst of her. I now realize, due to this story

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/27/gates.arrest/index.html

(which is the subject of its own thread)that Ms. Whalen herself was the victim of Sgt. Crowley's lies, and that I was one of too many people who believed those lied.
... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/122 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:35:19 It just seems like a pointlessly negative thing. What threads did anybody start that other people felt they HAD to have another way of suppressing?

What brought this on, exactly?... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/121 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:40:55 Anyone here still think that everything that's happened is ok because "Congress and the Supreme Court ordered it"?... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/120 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:15:08 http://soaw.org/index.php

Let's back the man up on this!

YES WE CAN!... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/118 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:21:03 There was never a justification for it.

It was a Bush thing.

The public wouldn't hold it against our president that he made travel easier.

And the 9/11 guys HAD passports anyway.

Is there ANY good reason not to get rid of this policy?... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/117 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:54:55 We have got to make clear that taxing the benefits provided in any universal healthcare plan will make those benefits unusable to the unemployed and the poor, since they will be unable to afford to pay those taxes.

There is no good reason to add any features to this plan that end up punishing peo... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/116 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:00:49 The "liquid bomb" plot was broken up almost THREE years ago. Why are they still restricting how much liquid stuff you can have in your carry-on bag?

Also, why is the security status still on Orange from that?

Just wondering if anybody had heard anything about this. Seems sort of pointless th... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Ken Burch/115 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:44:00 1) Immediately end the economic embargo on Cuba?

2) Join the World Court?

3) Close or radically reform the School Of The Americas?

4) Ratify the UN Convention on Genocide?

From where I see it, we'd lose nothing in any of those steps and we'd gain a lot of global respect.

Has America's most famous zombie ever actually achieved anything for our party?

Why does this void in a suit survive in a job where he's useless?

Does ANYBODY know?
