Are you tired of the media exploitation and sensationalism regarding the Anna Nicole Smith death?

It's been on all three major news channels (CNN, Fox, MSN) all day long everyday this week. I am getting so sick and tired of it. How about you?

Should we have a national Flag Day in Canada?

Feb. 15 was national flag day here in Canada and some government official is trying to get the government to make it a national holiday. We sure could use one as winter is so long. If you think this is a great idea write your MP! Do you agree?

What went wrong in Iraq?

As we all know, or should know, America went to war with Iraq. I think we can all agree that after 9/11, most of us Americans were pro-war. Flags were flying high, "God Bless America" was being played every 2 minutes on every radio station, and people wanted to avenge the deaths of the 3,000 people that were killed from the events of 9/11.

Now, in 2007, President Bush is being critized for his decision to invade Iraq. Why? What exactly went wrong between the announce of the war and now, and why do people blame the problem in Iraq solely on President Bush?

Did the plan not work out? That's what it sounds like to me. I'm not a specialist on this matter, but I have a feeling that the war wasn't suppose to last this long. Also, 3000+ troops weren't suppose to die. But it did and they did....why?

What constitutes a "win" in the war in Iraq?

Why do Republican lawmakers keep talking about how the troops in Iraq can't win the war in Iraq if their funding is cut? I want the Congress to talk about what constitutes a "win" in the war. Let's see we've lost about 3200 troops to how many for the enemy... Some people would contend we've lost already by losing this many troops and let's not forget the countless others that have been injured. And then let's not forget the War Crimes that have been committed or the sectarian violence we can't seem to get a grip on. Is continued funding really going to help us "win"?

Wher ewas she getting her money to buy a mansion , and a boat? How come the media doesn't ask these questions? HOW ABOUT SOME REAL ANSAWERS FOR A CHANGE????

Is Anna Nicole Smith still dead?

How a Z-rate, non-talent actress gets this much attention is beyond me. The coverage is bordering on 9/11 reporting

Why is it that congress is finally realizing that there is no more money to support the troops?

The final era of the republican power in congress is coming to a close,and accepting the fact that the people have spoken we need to get out of Iraq, and let other countries fight people that don't understand what freedom is all about. All the abuse with contracting monies to rebuild Iraq, I believe that money belongs here in our country and support those that help us. Victory comes when there is no more wars,and when you have a purpose,and we will be ready financially and military ready.

DIXIE CHICKS and the freedom of Speech.?

It Seems that Freedom of SPEECH is not a two way street, how come its ok to bash Bush but when people bash the Dixie Chicks, its not Politically correct.....When people stop buying their albums or attending their concerts, its considered Black listed instead of the people fundamentals right to boycott. Why does the Dixie Chicks step up for the rights of people to bash BUSH but try to step on those that BASH them. Are they two faced? Did they earn the Grammy's? WHY, WHY, WHY.....
