6. eh it's all good
tough loss but what can you expect against a team that's that unbelievably good? it was a good game though and im just happy they got as far as they did. there was a big party on campus at the union and damn even with a loss it was still a great time.

8. Parties for any reason are always good.
Even NCAA tournament losses. That's OK, though. Hopefully if we get enough college DUers to come to the College Democrats convention in DC this summer, we'll have one to end all parties.

11. Yeah that sounds neat
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 01:42 AM by JohnKleeb
I am telling you, whenever I leave Virginia for DC, I emerge as my true self, not as quiet, a little more extroverted, and a lot more willing to have fun. Post a thread about it btw and I may also talk to my friend who used to be a big DUer who lives there and goes to school there.

Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 01:46 AM by CubsFan1982
I went to the College Democrats of America convention in Boston last summer, the week of the DNC, and it was one helluva blowout. I never had so much fun and got so piss drunk out of my mind in my life! More info for this year here: http://www.collegedems.com/convention/

19. A right-wing catholic,
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 01:52 AM by Dirk39
with ties to antisemites all around, who did fight for better working-conditions for the workers at the lenin-shipyard in Danzig.
The Lenin-Shipyard is there no more. All of them are unemployed now. The workers in general live under far worse conditions than ever before.
How can someone forget this asshole.

On edit: reading the topic I thought people might remember that this is the anniversary of the liberation of Ausschwitz. Instead it's about this catholic CIA-clown.

Hello from Germany,
Dirk

25. Perhaps then you should educate us.
Rather than griping about the content of my post, put one up of your own.

By the way, the anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation was in January, not March. Just a thought.

27. I was wondering about the emphaising of the fact that
he was Catholic. Yes, it was in January because I remember Cheney's "attire" was frowned upon. Hey man btw, gimme a PM sometime so we can discuss this DC thing.

23. "70 percent of its farms are organic " - Bobby Kennedy, Jr.
that's an impressive stat, imo ...

meanwhile we're experimental fodder for Monsanto, and our leaders don't seem to care what genetically modified (GM) products do to our health or environment

"Places like Poland have a much stronger environmental ethic than we have in this country: 70 percent of its farms are organic as there's a strong resistance to using chemical pesticides." RFK,Jr.

29. so Victor Ashe and bush did what exactly?
besides his new job that bushie handed him, the ambassador of poland may have had a "fling" with ole shrub:

this from sept. 17, 2004

The real reason Armitage is in Poland is to check up on the US Ambassador to Poland, Victor Ashe.

Mr. Ashe and president Bush have had a "special relationship" since their college days at Yale, where they were roommates and male cheerleaders together.

The mainline Australian newspaper, The Age, reported last week, prior to the release of Kitty Kelley's book "The Family" (Bush's) some charges Kelley could make, including:

"She may also raise a nasty rumour that circulates in Washington DC from time to time, that President Bush had a 'special relationship' with a former mayor of Tennessee, Victor Ashe, who is now the US ambassador to Poland."
