Anything you say, buma. Please remember that “splitting hairs” remark.

You’ll see it again.

The jury sentenced the man to life in prison. Period. The sentence handed down was that and nothing else. Stop splitting hairs.

Frank,

You’re assuming buma knows the definition of ‘unanimous’.

please please …. please … please nominate Al Gore.

Somebody else, please. I’m tired of re-runs. and that goes for Hillary too.
I’d rather see Oprah run. She’d have a better shot.

buma, buma, buma…
Several news reports stated — clearly — that his sentence was life, because there was not a unanimous sentence of death.
From the article: U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema tore open a brown envelope and announced that the jurors “do not unanimously find a sentence of death shall be imposed.”
Sorry to disappoint.
My knee had nothing to do with it.

As Cindy Sheehan says, “What about Al Gore? He’s already proven he can win.” Gore could bring out all his big ideas about the environment and capture a lot of conservative and independent votes. Americans of every political persuasion are plenty worried about global warming and other signs of environmental deterioration. And they don’t see Republicans doing anything serious about the problem.

As I said, The jury of 12 American citizens sentenced Moussaoui to life in prison. Knee-jerk frank: Actually, buma, you are wrong again. The sentence of death must be unanimous it wasn t. Better tell that to the KC Star, frank. Somehow the Star reported that the jury sentenced Moussaoui to life in prison too. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/nation/14496952.htm

q – w: I don’t think Sen. Clinton would be a good candidate, either…
If by viable, you mean electable, name three more electable than she is.
I’m not being argumentative, I’m curious.

Sigh. Oliver, you know, every time you post up about hillary, you aid the MSM in distracting the country from viable candidates.

I do agree with you about Energy Reform. Its economics, security, independence and liberty, small local government, and innovation all rolled up in one. Its the next great revolution waiting to happen.

Actually, buma, you are wrong — again.
The sentence of death must be unanimous — it wasn’t.

Here’s a post:

The jury of 12 American citizens sentenced Moussaoui to life in prison. I suppose there may be posters itching to rant about something. Spin away, dugger pedro.

Apropos of nothing, I’m surprised Zacharious Mussawi’s verdict hasn’t been posted about. (apologies for the spelling).

Hillary must re-connect to populism. There is a hunger in the land for progressive leadership that solves intractable problems. I am one of those people who saw Hillary’s effort at managed care reform as a corporate friendly half-measure that wouldn’t substantially impact on the bottom line of greed inherent in corporate health care profiteering.

I am unabashedly progressive and believe that we need a populist economic approch that includes some form of single-payer system or opening up medicare so that people and small businesses can buy into the system. We need to start addressing stagnant wages by first, raising the minimum wage, and secondly, moving toward making living wages a mandatory reality. The Massachusetts idea of mandating health care coverage is a starting point that all federal politicians should take a serious look at.

Energy reform could be the magic bullet, but I suspect that unless oil remains above $60 a barrel, universal health care would be more potent. It’s every bit as essential for the country’s future, too.

The problem for Hillary Clinton, albeit unfairly, is that she’s perceived as having bad baggage on the health care reform issue.

‘A moon shot in every pot’

Take Barry Commoners idea of reducing the cost of photovoltaic cells through
an incented mass production program (similar to the late 50′s genius’s who
farmed out transistors to Japan) and employ americans.

Captures the model Oliver proposes with a three-pronged attack
on energy dependence, jobs and the continuing economic momentum
we are all supposed to be enjoying
