I saw Sean Hannity's 'interview' of Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens ripped him to shreds in the 'debate'. A classic line by Hitchens was, "You remind me of someone who hasn't read anything at all about the opposing viewpoint."

Shredded like incriminating documents.

Who agrees with me? post your analysis of the interivew.

I detest the BBC and there slanted take on middle east news. Didnt former Chairman Greg Dyke call the BBC a 'disgustingly white' institution, which to me is inverted racism.

Anyway why are we bombarded with news about their missing reporter like we are meant to give a s**t. He was working in a war zone. He knew the risks.

Why dont they make such a big deal about thousands of other people who are abducted by these sort of barbaric people, such as christian missionaries, foreign aid workers, not to mention that teenage israeli soldier.

They dont really seem to give a frik about anyone else but their own. There blinkered attitude makes me sick

I have lived all my life if British occupied Ireland and have always supported those who seek to resist British rule. In recent years the Provisional IRA have betrayed the Irish people by surrendering their weapons and sending their political representatives to help administer British rule in the North. Recently the IRA have asked our people to give their support to the police force in the North even though these people have been involved in mass murder against Catholics in the North and still to this day, work hand in hand with Loyalist terror gangs. What do people think will be the best way forward for our people to end the British occupation, should we return to war or should we work within the political system to achieve an All-Ireland republic?

Im just speaking the truth people, I know its not always politically correct, but sometimes it needs to be said.

When do you think the papers are going to wake up to public opinion? Or will they just keep playing the politically correct 'dont dare upset the greiving parents' role.

I havent seen one paper take them to task yet. And yet they are more than happy to rip the Portugese police to shreds, despite the fact that even the British police who are over there helping them havent been able to do anything either (but we'll keep quiet on that one, no need to highlight our own failings).

If all the generals and politicians have agreed that a milirary solution is not going to work in Iraq, why have we instituted this military surge with several thousand more troops?

Also, what do you think about the Iraqi governent taking a 2 month vacation?

The irony of this whole sordid situation is - that if some person or a couple who were desperate for a child (and she is a obviously a very pretty and photogenic little child I'm sure you would agree) has kidnapped her - you can bet they're probably doing a better job of keeping an eye on her than her real parents did - don't you think?

' It has been said time and time again, that each person has a reason for thier existance. Whether it is a religious matter, or a matter of evolution...the general public seems to have not decided. What we do know, however, is that alot of people spend thier whole entire life searching for their 'purpose'. On the other hand, for a very select few, they knew what they're going to do with their life, for as long as they can remember.
Jayson Bronerbyze is one of the 'very select few'. By age five, he knew that for as long as he could...he would play the piano.'
Is that a good opening for a feature story? Its just a snippet of it so far, I just need to know what yall think. It goes on to later say that he is now 54 years old, and still playing the piano. Any suggestions??

Senator Harry Reid from Nevada says "This war is lost and the usrge is not accomplishing anything". Personally, I don't agree with this at all and I think that saying it brings a lot of grief and a lack of support for our troops overseas. However, I am open to your input. I don't believe in cutting and running and I think that the media that we have now is corrupt and won't broadcast the progress we've made and the people who have been set free from a evil dictator (Sadaam Hussein). My brother's a Marine and I know that I'd never want him to hear something like that. A comment like that would tear away any hope that they have. And you always hear about these polls that say that so many people think the war's a lost cause, but nobody interviewed me or my family. So who's doing the polls? I'm very upset about this and I just want to know if there's anybody out there who can give me a straight and honest answer about this.

Will it work or not?
Here's what I think are the good point and bad points:

Good:
Although people keep saying it won't work because everyone will just buy on the 14th and 15th the thing is is that the oil companies are putting out as much as they can a day. They usually don't leave room for storage. If the gas is not bought in the US for one day they are going to have absolutely no where to store that extra gas. Therefore they would have to put the prices way down to get rid of it as fast as possible.

The bad:
Once they've lowered prices for to get rid of the extra gas they will bounce right back up. Probably by the next day. Another thing, if no one is buying gas couldn't this possibly put the stock market into a frenzy and worst-case scenario crash the economy? If not send it plummeting.

What do you think?

This is a very frightening epidemic for the world.
The "Unknown" disease killing all the bee's, will put our nation and every other country into starvation.
Considering bees supply $15 billion dollars worth in fruit,vegetables, and etc.

What is there to do?
Is this the end of the world?
Is the Revelations in Act?
Is this god's return? (For the Religious)

A similar epidemic like this happened back in 1915, where millions of bee's died off.
Does this have to do with Global Warming?
Weather Related at all?

Hillary for personal reasons has just dropped out of the presidential race. Do you think this almost assures Obama the presidency in 2009? Or do you think that the Republicans will give him a run for the money in 2008? Your thoughts are appreciated.
