News – The U.S. death toll in Iraq was the hottest topic of conversation this last week. But the Propeller community also sounded off on John McCain, middle-class woes, and the cloak-and-dagger mischief over at the passport office.
A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO ALPHAGNOSIS AND THE ENTIRE PROPELLER COMMUNITY
During the week in a very weak attempt to be funny, I posted an implied slur about AlphaGnosis. She took offense and RIGHTFULLY SO.
While we are sometimes (most times) of opposing view points, she has never took a shot at me personally or really been anything short of respectful.
Alpha I apologize for the comment and subsequent comments and to the people that gave me a positive, I also apologize for dragging you down to the level to which I had stooped.
Sincerely

Pretty telling that the top story was about AMERICAN deaths in Iraq. Pretty much shows the quality of our democracy and why the rest of the world pays ever less attention to what we say and think.
Thursday: 225 Iraqis, 1 US Soldier, 3 US Contractors Killed; 538 Iraqis Wounded

Propeller admins,
well done fixing the site. it has been running much smoother. you always hear from us when stuff isn't going well, I thought I'd take a moment to pay a deserved compliment. I know how difficult managing these boards can be.
thanks.
p.s. a permanent thread were members can offer feedback, suggestions would be helpful to you and cathartic to members.
Thanks, truthiness. We know the site is still running way below optimum speed, but we've been trying to improve things between now and the launch of our redesign, and it's great to hear that our efforts are helping--at least a little. On the new site, there will be multiple areas where members can offer feedback, blow off steam, and generally congregate.

Good one James. And it was nice mentioning "Amazing Grace" and other tunes to lighten things up a little and was a pleasant sharing:)
Thanks, glad you liked it. I wish I could have included one of my favorite performances of "Amazing Grace"--the Holmes Brothers do a hair-raising version on their "Jubilation" CD--but the one clip I found on YouTube didn't represent them at their best. Great band, though.
There's so many. But I just thought it was nice ending on an upbeat note to finish things off. Maybe something to think about?have a good one.
my cynical self would of liked the review better if it had included the last comment i made about the new ag's list of things not to investigate ,which was THE WH DESTROYED THE HARD DRIVES they announced that last sat and my cynical self believes the passport "announcement" was just to take focus off the obstruction of justice that destroying those hard drives proves
unless i am getting the current admins 'illegal but not criminal behavior" out of order
its hard to keep track
Well James did suggest a 178 page book review maybe this week.
opps yet another for the list of WILL NOT INVESTIGATE BY CURRENT AG
In conversations we had with Bobby Kennedy, Jr., in the ensuing months after our initial report, we'd explained to him what Singer had done, and --- literally overnight --- he had set the attorneys at his firm, and that of his radio co-host, attorney Mike Papantonio's firm, to work on Singer's case. It was soon thereafter filed in federal district court, as we reported at the time, in July of 2006. It has been under seal for nearly two years since that time, waiting for the DoJ, which had asked for extension after extension, to determine whether it wished to join the suit or not.
This week, the DoJ finally declined to join the case, which may now move forward with the attorneys who originally brought the complaint, including Papantonio's firm, Kennedy's firm, and attorneys in Colorado where the case was filed.
