A question mark is a symbol used at the end of a question, as in:<br /> Did anyone else notice Bill tried to sneak in a little namecalling with his use of the word idiot?<br /> HEHEHEHEHE*KABLAM*<br /> <br /> I don't blame Will for not responding, people like you aren't going to listen no matter how many facts you are presented with. I won't label that extreme behavior conservative, however, as I've seen you use the line "typical liberal" all too much. Did anyone else notice Bill tried to sneak in a little namecalling with his use of the word idiot?

It would seem more reasonable to try to find a commentator, who, after careful study, and with an open, inquiring mind did his best to accurately define issues and offer plausible well-thought-out attempts at solutions. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tim.mcdonald/2006/03/31/al_franken_responds_to_rush_limbaugh_on#c17106 Wed, 12 Apr 2006 08:16:15 +0000 didjman [Visitor] c15727@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ To elaborate on Limbaugh's comments re. Chelsea Clinton when she was 13, I believe that he suggested she looked like a dog.<br /> <br /> Talk about someone that needs to told to pick on someone his own size.

Nice guy.

The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law.
