Divide the dead (73 Iraqi's today) by $300 million and thats the cost per life he snuffs out. Not including proud american youth that will die in Iraqs gutters. How much do you despise this pariah called Bush.

Latest Update - Gerry's Blog/Diary

Day 64 - 06/07/2007

The major development today was the arrest of a 39 year old Dutch citizen in Eindhoven for attempted fraud. The man had sent six e-mails saying he knew who had Madleine and where she was. He was demanding €2million for this information. After being arrested he has admitted he did not have any information and was motivated by boredom and trying to extort the money.

This arrest, after cooperation between the Portuguese, British and Dutch police forces, sends a clear message that this sort of crime is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. It also encourages Kate and I that all information about Madeleine coming through to the police in any European country will be taken seriously and rigorously evaluated.

And could it lead to others who have been jailed for neglect, for leaving children alone,( such as the Mothers who were jailed because their kids died in a hotel fire, when the Mothers left them alone to go out), to appeal their sentences based on the fact that the McCanns arnt even being found guilty of neglect?
Or, if cases in the future are brought, would the McCanns case be used by the Defence to argue that their client shouldnt be jailed?

Also, if the McCanns ARE ever brought to justice for this, would they have to pay back all the fund money raised, because English Law says you cant "Profit from a crime", and these 2 grubs have definately done that?

that climate change is so serious and people care not apart from poor Al Gore and Bill Clinton. It is said it will hit all countries/ lands with temperatures above 25 degree celsius. One expert said the first flashes could be visible in Africa up to the lower parts of Europe ; has even gone far to say with precision if this happens millions will die.

Is this accurate journalism by saying most of the US wants the president impeached when only 1000 was polled...from a group based in New Hampshire..?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070706/pl_afp/uspoliticsbush

I dont know...Has anyone ever actually been "polled"?
I have never met anyone that has ever been called by any of these "poll groups", and one needs to take into account that the 1000 was people not signed up on the "no call list", or had actually signed some kind of agreement with the company to be polled...I'm not sure that accurately represents the entire US.

note for angry democrats..please notice the question is asking about the accuracy of the polling numbers, and questioning the accuracy of the journalist..not your opinion on the war or how many things you can come up with to have Bush fake impeached..

Celebrity worship gags me, but I usually like Larry's program. The Paris interview, however, was a bomb...or at least, the beginning was. The questions seemed dumbed down and the answers even more so. Anybody else see it?

I was on Ebay looking for my son a cell phone......

When I came across a "lady" that has bought 66 cell phones in the last month. She has bought them at various auctions , in lots or as singles. Price doesn't seem to bother her just that they are all the same model.

Can someone give me a reasonable answer for this behavior?
Am I just watching to much news coverage? I am not trying to be paranoid but this does seem strange to me.

** I kept seeing her nickname while checking the feedback of sellers. It seemed weird to me but I thought I would ask .....

They say that 45 percent of American want to impeach Bush.
Gee I don't remember taking that poll, they did their
study by the private New Hampshire-based ARG canvassed 1,100 Americans by telephone July 3-5 and had an error margin of plus or minus three percentage points. The findings are available on ARG's Internet site.

I don't call that a study esp when its from New Hampshire and is on the internet.

Apparently the cost of live earth is $3 Billion and is going to be carbon neutal if we plant enough trees according to the highly intellectual Joss Stone.

What if the pop stars stayed at home paid proper taxes and donated the $3 Billion to fight aids and homelessness?

What do you think is going on here, an excuse for a gig to earn money for those who make a living out of promoting the environment, or does your level of awareness need raising?

Will those watching drink, smoke and inject sufficient substances to be aware of even where the tiolets are?

when their Koran tells all followers of Islam to kill people?

"Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie and wait for them in every strategem (of war)."
-Surah 9:5

"The Punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messengers, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the hereafter."
-Surah 5:33

"Oh you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them."
-Surah 5:51

"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah....Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the truth."
-Surah 9:30
