I stopped reading when some damn popup thing started chasing me around the screen, but I would say: yes they do, they're just not doing it

I have those blocked. The first half of the article is about this piece of legislation.

"Sec. 221. (a) The Headquarters and Emergency Operations Center Building (Building 21) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is hereby renamed as the Arlen Specter Headquarters and Emergency Operations Center.

(b) The Global Communications Center Building (Building 19) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is hereby renamed as the Thomas R. Harkin Global Communications Center."

The rest of the article is mostly frothing.

Please excuse the ignorance of a banjo-pickin' inbred Canadian, but what is this 'asshat' of which you don't speak, despite its presence in the thread title?
I ask merely for information.

Its an Interweb thing, you wouldn't understand.
Actually, I think it originated in Sweden or some crazy European place where references to anal sex are as plentiful as references to popular celebrities are in the U.S.

Asshat - A repugnant fool. One who makes his foolishness openly, obnoxiously and unabashedly apparent for all too see.

Asshattery - Overindulgence in the behavior of an asshat.

I didn't read the article. But I think it is conclusive evidence there were and still are WMDs in Iraq...

Call me ignorant, but what on earth was this article about:confused: ?

Two senators took time out from their schedule of debating Iraq policy, Katrina recovery, the high price of energy, budget reduction, etc. to rename two buildings after themselves.

Then after that, the article kinda dissolves into half-rational ranting and finger pointing.
