Did anyone remember the kid in school that got to hold the coaches clipboard for the day? Remember how cool he thought he was.
I feel sorry for the Democrat men that are following her lead. Note to nancy. Your simply carrying the clipboard. Let the big boys handle this. Go home and cook for your husband like your supposed to.

Let's say instead of meddling politically in their affairs and invading, we chose to only engage in economic interaction with Middle Eastern countries. Most likely, we'd be paying more for gasoline. Would you be ok with that if it meant no war?

A guy from England flies over to New York. He checks into his hotel and then decides to go for a short walkabout in the Big Apple. Anyways the guy gets lost and ends up sleeping rough for five days. Apparently the guy was 'too meek' to ask for directions and ended up in hospital with hypothermia. Is this story for real?

To think that there are people who agree with that contrived, propoganda-BS is frightening.

Please don't go off on a rant about New Orleans either. Hundreds of thousands of good, hardworking people were affected by Katrina. Why is it people can defend the war in Iraq as a humanitarian effort when there are thousands of our own citizens homeless and numerous cities, towns, and communities (New Orleans too) destroyed. Many of them are well above sea level and miles inland from the coast. Please explain what I feel is a hypocritical attitude to have. Don't say we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here, and war on terror and all that. I'm speaking of those who continue to use the "operation iraqi freedom" meme and justify the war as freeing the Iraqi citizens and rebuilding their lives by rebuilding the infrastructure and providing government services such as small business loans. Why do you feel it's ok to use our tax dollars for that and bristle at the thought of using tax dollars to help gulf coasters? Sure there has been much fraud with katrina but millions are missing in iraq as well as 4000 guns. What's your logic? I beginning to think that if it came down to it, with circumstances surrounding both situations and not knowing either party is a good or bad person, some of you would rather help an iraqi citizen than an American citizen.

I see a lot that reports come from a news service called "AFP". I know that "AP" stands for Associated Press, but what the heck does "AFP" stand for?

Bush: `I'm the decision-maker' on Iraq.
This guy doesn't give a hoot about anyone's opinion except his own. Over 3000 American soilders plus innocent Iraqi people died ever since Bush decided that Saddam was a bigger threat then Osama Bin Laden ( I don't know what is going on with that issue, but Bush surely hasn't given him that much attention). And now he is trying to send 21,500 more of our troops to Iraq? Why doesn't anyone do anything about his over the top actions? 2 out of 3 Americans are NOT satisfied with what he is doing right now, he has become the most unpopular president since Nixon, and I am asking you guys, do you think Bush is turning into a dictator who wants to do whatever he pleases and ignores everyone else's opinion?

Latest news today out of Washington. President Bush has declared open season on Iranians in Iraq. That it is ok to "kill' or "capture" Iranians in Iraq. He has declared war on a whole race of people.Does this remind you of someone in history?
How do Iranian Americans feel about this? I am concerned for my nephew who is to be deployed to Iraq in a few months.
How much more needless bloodshed will spill while our troops are in the Middle East?
This latest rhetoric from our commander in chief has really got me worried about the emotional state of the man in charge of our military and country.
I cannot remember ever,in history where our President has declared it "ok" to actually kill someone because of their race can you?
Tell me this is not really happening in the year 2007.
Haven't we learned anything in our countries past history especially since the holocaust,and Hitler's hatred of another race of people. I don't understand this logic .

This 22 year old woman was here since she was 7 years old she has no legal status,has 2 kids and recently was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer.
She entered a raffle at a spanish radio station .
The price was a 1999 Corvet donated from a famous Mexican/American singer.
The only rule was to be present at time of drawing.
Well she won the car but the radio station lawyer told her tha t if she claim her price He will call U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement to get her deported.
The radio station is the one that organized the "famous" march of people last year.

In a separate incident this month,Toys R Us agreed to award a chinese american infant born in New York a 25,000 prize in a New Year's baby contest after the company was criticized for disqualifying the girl because her mother was (is) an illegal immigrant from china.

Do you think the radio station should give this poor woman (now she is in hiding because she is afraid), the car she won?

our class did a recent novel study on "things not seen" by andrew clements and one of the questions requires me to make a newspaper story based on an event in the story. In the book, a 15 year old boy wakes up one morning and as he wipes the fog off the mirror he realizes he's invisible. I chose this event but can u think of a creative title for me? thnx.
