Why hasn't the media reported that after Katrina when our own government hadn't done anything, people in New Orleans who still had working cell phones started calling the French consulates when things got really desperate??? Apparently a lot of people were calling and eventually, some very old woman who spoke French got through to the main embassy in Washington, DC. The people working there, like all of us, had been watching everything on CNN for days and when they realized she spoke French, they put her on speaker phone - some of the embassy people listening got very upset after this and a high official called the French president in the middle of the night and got him out of bed. Then he called President Bush, who was still at his ranch in Texas, and said if Bush didn't do something soon he was going to humiliate Pres Bush by calling a press conference offering to send in the French military on a humanitarian aid mission. Only then did our own president fly back to Washington!!!

I suggest that people connect across America who mistakenly voted for Bush, and start personally and publically asking Bush to "Stop the Iraq War Now!"

he constantly says that the far left is corrupting many peoples minds but then he says that The Factor is the #1 show on during his time slot. and he has a highly rated radio show that is syndicated all across the country. but he still says the media is dominated by the far left, acting like his voice doesnt get out.
whats the deal with O'Reilly?

The parents of Rhys Jones, the eleven year old boy who was recently murdered, have appealed to the killer's parents to turn their son in. We can all sympathise with the jones family, but if it was you and you found out your 13 -15 year old son had murdered someone, would you take him to the police.
What about other crimes, armed robbery, assault, child abuse, downloading child porn, burglary. Where would you draw the line. Would you protect your son if you knew he had done anyone those things. Dads would you tell the boy's mum if you found out, even if you knew it would break her.

Can the Jones family expect the killer's family to respond to their plea?

What do you think if it REALLY happened to you?.

Why doesn't Israel simply leave the West Bank (all of it), Gaza Strip, Arab East Jerusalem, Syria's Golan Heights and the Lebanese occupied lands (Shebaa Farms), so Peace can finally be achieved???? Why is that so hard to do???

Its clear that this what will make peace but instead, Israeli settlers are busy expanding their settlements in the Golan, West Bank, etc and the US Government is busy blindly supporting the Israeli side.

Israel says they want peace but want to keep the occupied lands. The Arabs say they want peace but want their lands back.

Arabs may be in violation of several UN Resolutions but Israel is in violation of over 70!

Thanks for your answers! :)

A soldiers mom asked that question a few weeks ago actually.

Anyhow, while discussing her wedding to 20/20; Jenna Bush had the nerve to say "There are many ways to serve your country. I think its more approriate for me to serve our country teaching in Latin America"

Oh REALLY??!!!

..I dont care what nobody says--the whole entire Bush family is going straight to the Lake Of Fire in the bottomless pit of hell.

...Ok, YOUR THOUGHTS

Israel already have enough to blow half the Middle East to bits and in fact are still attacking the defencless people of Palestine despite the fact they have illegally occupied half of their country with their so called settlements. They did the same with the IRA, remember Norad. Another terrorist group.I totally agree with the American stance against terrorism but that has to include Israel.

white suburban folks are? What a thunderbolt! He gave credit where credit was due. According to the pugnacious one, not one person screamed out words that rhymed with motherducker or witch while he sat and dined with Al Sharpton. The African American customers actually acted civilized and even used utensils such as knives and forks. O'Reilly was impressed. He wasn't even mugged my the waiter. It is this kind of heart warming story that draws me back to watching "The Factor."

Is it just me or is Rush Limbaugh ,and Shawn Hanady the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of the Republican Party.
I'm a Republican but can't stand those two because they're doing more harm than good for the Republican Party.

Today was my friend's birthday so a group of us went in to town for a few drinks. We started a pub crawl and stopped off in one place that was doing karaoke. We decided to be brave and sit there for a bit.

This guy started singing and it was HIDEOUS. He sounded like a camel giving birth to triplets. In a public toilet. In Newcastle. I cannot emphasise how dreadful it was - he didn't actually form any words, just tunelessly brayed for 5 minutes. My friends and I couldn't control ourselves and sat there howling with laughter, we tried to stop but couldn't.

THEN when the guy finished, the barman gets up and says very seriously "Well done Dan, you were very brave" and he gets a round of applause from everyone. We realised at that point that this unfortunate Dan must have been deaf.

We quickly left. I was mortified. Would you be?

What is your opinion on the doctor who is asking for additional time for her medical board exam so she can pump her breasts for her child? Other women...a lot of other women were able to take the exam and pump during the breaks.

How is she ever going to be a physician?

Oh, she wants to go into research?!?! You don't need to pass the board exams to do that!
