let's hope they not only win the senate but the house as well...in fact they have a better chance to win the house than winning the senate. :mrgreen:

I know the website says it's Ayumi "the Alien" Hamasaki's birthday today...but has anybody acutally seen her act in the doramas listed here?

all responses welcome.

this is probably the most serious congressional election in recent u.s. history....the US needs a paradigm shift away from the dangerous, reckless policies forwarded by the current administration.

we all know for DAYEM sure if we had a parlimentary system like England, instead of a republican form of gov't that b*tch Bush would have probably received a vote of no confidence a looooong ass time ago.

i can appreciate your angst...with all respect to Canadians, the U.S is marshalling the load with regard to its incredibly bungled policy in Iraq.

with the unbelievable BILLIONS of dollars we are spending in Iraq every month...if the US would have focused its strategy in Afghanistan we would have captured or killed Osama bin Laden already and seriously degraded Al Qaeda's ability to wage terror.

i FIRMLY believe the current Iraq war is the "VIETNAM" of our generation...a hapless war sacrificing young American soldiers for a mistaken cause pushed by oblivious politicians....


Bush that f*ckin' prick....if you so strongly believe in this cause...send your daughters to the front.....he is an unintellectual piece of crap.

yes, hundreds of billions (over $300 bn now i think) spent already :shakehead: - if they directed that at something useful like education or health care......

your points are well taken....no doubt. short of your "noble" suggestions i dwell on money spent with regard to establishing security. how is it that FIVE years after the fact we can't even capture or kill Osama.....pathetic misdirected efforts...

i sincerely grieve for those who have lost life and limb in Iraq.....i prematurely relish the fact that Bush will be remembered as one of the WORST American leaders in our history...

he is so INCREDIBLY misguided in his erroneous beliefs...a TOTAL embarssment for ALL Americans....

I've bought lots of stuff from CDJapan. They are excellent. Always received goods in amazingly short time in perfect condition. And I live in Los Angeles. I found that in gross price they even beat YesAsia. All items are cheaper apparently than YesAsia, but their postage is higher.
yet the total cost of item + postage is lower than yesAsia. Also I get my goods quicker than from YesAsia.

The shipping + item cost is way below Kinokuniya
A DVD concert from CDJpapan will cost me about $43 + $7 shipping. The same concert at Kunikuniya is $67 +10% sales tax.

Not sure how likely that is... I think the Dems are still down something like 15 votes before they can control the senate. :sweat:

they need 6 for the house.

they can't control the senate in this election, iirc, there aren't enough contested seats for that to happen.

actually they need 6 for the senate and 15 for the house to control congress


"Most analysts believe Democrats will gain seats in November in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Several experts are already predicting that Democrats will pick up the 15 additional House seats they need to retake control of the 435-member chamber for the first time since 1994.

Democrats need a pickup of six seats to regain control of the Senate. Thirty-three of the 100 Senate seats are being contested this year."

a few months of spending in iraq could totally rebuild New Orleans with a superior levee system compared to what they have now.....not the Congress would spend it...they'll just let 'em rot.
