Like the Belmont Stakes?

I just don't see why China is so insistent upon controlling and occupying Tibet? Countries occupy other countries because they either have economic or natural resources to exploit, they are militarily strategic, self-defense, etc. Tibet is none of these. It has little or no resources. It's not militarily strategic. It's not a threat. And the PR for China is very bad.

I can't find any reference to the city Government of Aptos, CA anywhere.

When you observe the Parthenon or any of the Greek spectacular structures and monuments, you have to wonder how the hell did they actually do it? No electricity, cranes, hydraulics, steel, cables, etc., yet there they stand. They are as close to perfect monuments as any modern construction techniques could create, yet they had none of that technology. Sure, they had brilliant architects and artists, but who did the real hands-on work? You can't just force a slave to carve the frontispiece of the Parthenon with a hammer and chisel.

It seems the latest fashion statement for NFL players is to grow their hair long in the back. I would think a tackler would be tempted to grab the hair if that's all he could get.

The founders did not anticipate the dysfunction caused by the bitter animosity between political parties. They were more concerned with balancing the 3 branches of gov't and to have checks and balances between the legislative and the executive. Unfortunately, nothing in the constitution addresses all of the problems caused by bitter partisan politics and conflicts. How can we amend the constitution to reduce or eliminate partisan animosity in our gov't and get back to a government that actually accomplishes something for the people.

These bombs are absolutely massive, certainly wiping out hundreds of innocent Iraqi civilians. But how can they pick a number? Anyone within a certain radius must be completely obliterated, so how could they see a piece of flesh and count that as a "dead"?

Apparently, it's like 100 degrees in OK, and while everyone else (caddies, etc.) are wearing shorts, all the players are wearing long pants.

Or any major tournament with big stars like Woods, etc...

What are the rules for breaking a tie?

I've noticed lately that there is an increasing number of carbon-copy republican talking point postings on political blogs, websites, etc., including yahoo answers - politics. Their opinions are so similar to official republican talking points that I'm suspicious that so many folks could be that stupid to support the Bush/Cheney's administration - could they be paid political operatives?

In denying congress's request for official documents, Cheney asserts

that his office is not an “entity within the executive branch.”

What species of flying insects are or are not attracted to electronic black-light bug killers?
