Don't get me wrong here, I have a lot of respect for Colin Powell's accomplishments in life, and I do look up to him for many things.
However, I question his major political decisions.

Irisheyes's discussion about the Palin family and autographs gave me the idea for this thread. Not that I want to make this about the Palin family, I just wanted to give inspirational kudos to where they are due.

I'm wondering if Liberals listen to their own arguments, because they don't seem to care if what they are saying holds any water.
Back when I was in Desert Storm, a small but vocal group of liberals coined the slogan "No Blood...

What is the shelf life of a good video game? 6 months, 2 years... maybe?
Nothing against Stardock, Microsoft, Apoge or anyone else, but video gaming has a problem, and I don't know if they will be able to work out. I don't...
