Don't waste time cleaning your shoes. Smear them with polish and then use the brushes at the sides of escalators to buff them up to a good shine.

Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

X-Files fans. Create the effect of being abducted by aliens by drinking two bottles of vodka. You'll invariably wake up in a strange place the following morning, having had your memory mysteriously 'erased'.

Keep the seat next to you on the train vacant by smiling and nodding at people as they walk up the aisle.

Hijackers. Avoid a long stressful siege and the risk of arrest, imprisonment or death by simply making sure you book a flight to your intended destination in the first place.

They always say us Brits have bad teeth, when in fact the U.S. is the most obese country in the world.

They always tell us our military is crap, even though i'd say a British man probably has the strength of about 5 American soldiers.

They always criticise Tony Blair for being a bad PM, when George Bush isn't so perfect himself. (I personally don't like Tony Blair)

Half of the Americans have never even been to the U.K. and bear in mind there are 4 very different countries here. When will Americans stop being bullies and hypocrites about us?

My partner and I only work about 6-12 hours a week, each. We spend the rest of our time together or at least in the same room. Our apartment isn't very big. We're happy with this situation and very comfortable with eachother. How many of you could actually tolerate this? I've known of a few couples who were married for awhile and couldn't stand this! My partner and I have lived together for about 2 years. It really because we are young or is it just us? What do you think?

Just watched the trailer to maxed out. A doccumentary about debt and the evils of the credit industry. What is the truth? Is credit card debt really unsecured or is there a back door where you are screwed if you get into debt? I do know former corporate execs who hit a bad patch..Unemployment, Divorse, Illness and needed to live on credit cards..Now some of them have 200K + in debt and no viable income. What can happen to them?

Hi!
So, I was just wondering, because if you take a lava stone from Hawaii, you supposedly get cursed by Pele.

Has anyone done that? Taken a stone, I mean.
What happened if you did?

The Democrats' Choice
Do they want to get something done, or just wage war on the president?

Saturday, April 7, 2007 12:01 a.m.

Next week the Democrats will mark their 100th day running Congress, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declared herself "enormously proud" of their record.

We think it's too soon to judge success or failure, and in any case the more pertinent question concerns what the Democrats are trying to accomplish: Do they want to get something done, which will require the signature of a Republican President who still has 21 months in office? Or is their goal to delegitimize the Bush Presidency with a purely partisan goal of regaining the White House in 2008?

If their plan is to govern, Democrats have several opportunities to work with President Bush to achieve goals they claim to share. Trade deals on Panama, Peru, Colombia and South Korea await a Congressional vote, and their defeat would harm those nations and the U.S. national interest. On immigration reform, Mr. Bush is closer to most Democrats than to many in his own party. The No Child Left Behind Act is up for reauthorization, and the Alternative Minimum Tax (a k a Mandatory Maximum Tax) needs another patch to avoid hitting 15 million more taxpayers this year.

We have nothing against partisanship, and Democrats have every right to reward their supporters and pursue their policy goals. Some of these are part of the "Six for '06" bills that House Democrats passed easily in their first days, though they still have to run the gantlet of the Senate. But our guess is that Democrats would help themselves more, and have a better chance of gaining seats in 2008, if they show they are open to compromise and can point to priorities that became law.

The alternative is to frame a largely partisan agenda that may pass the House but will either die in the Senate or be vetoed by the President. These include the largely political payoff to unions of abolishing secret organizing ballots, or cutting off funds for the Iraq war. These are crowd pleasers on the left, which has overinterpreted last year's victory as a mandate for their policies rather than a rejection of GOP failure.

But this is a risky strategy that would give the lie to the claim that House Democrats made last year that they could govern better than the Tom DeLay Republicans. Their freshmen from swing districts would have few accomplishments to tout. And neither Mr. Bush nor Dick Cheney will be on the ballot again--a reality that Democrats will sooner or later have to acknowledge, hard as it will be to give up the anger.

If Democrats are smart, they'll realize that Republicans in Congress don't fear veto fights. What gives them nightmares are signing ceremonies with Mr. Bush and Nancy Pelosi.

Don't you think that if a man today claimed to be a messiah he would be labeled a religious fanatic and the leader of an evil cult. Why did it work so well with Jesus?

I continue to hear many complaints and criticism from various people becuase Mormons have to pay 10% of their income to pay their tithes, however, even though I am not Mormon, it seems that if you are able to use it as a tax write off, you actually wouldnt be paying 10% of your income becuase you would get some of it back, it actually doesnt seem that bad. Am I wrong, or have the wrong idea? Also how does the church know how much you make? Do they actually look at your pay stubs, or do you pay via the honor system? Thank you for all of your answers.
