1. Yes, and you'd misspell badly

as well, so it's unintelligible, I would think.

[WillyT]

3. I Dunno...

Spent most of Sunday being informed by it.

Guess I told my inner Grammar\Spelling cop to STFU, and learned a few things.

:shrug:

[tabatha]

6. Unintelligible comment.

[Billy Burnett]

2. More like Twitter promotion of the day.

Fits the frenzy. Almost like a script.

[WillyT]

4. Still Tryin To Figure You Out Billy...

Is it just a thing against Twitter, or are you just pissed that the folks getting their asses kicked in Tehran got more play than the folks that got their asses kicked in Miami?

Seriously, dude... what up???

:wtf:

7. Attack of the luddites. n/t

[Billy Burnett]

10. Really? Look up House Report 109-417 - IRAN FREEDOM SUPPORT ACT

"There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that."

OK, Especially if you're not looking. :eyes:

Sometimes the thomas.loc.gov links expire. Google will find the current links if they have, or search thomas.loc.gov for ...

House Report 109-417 - IRAN FREEDOM SUPPORT ACT
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/R?cp109:FLD010:@1(hr417)

Then go to

SEC. 402. ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT DEMOCRACY IN IRAN.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&dbname=cp109&sid=cp109YOlyX&refer=&r_n=hr417.109&item=&sel=TOC_30255&
