A letter sent to Rush Limbaugh's boss demanding he be chastised for comments he made on the air about "phony soldiers" is now on the auction block, and the latest bid is $41,400.

One hundred percent of the money raised from the eBay auction will go to educate the children of Marines and law enforcement officers who died while on duty, the auction says.

Bids will continue until Friday for the letter signed by 41 Democratic senators and sent on Oct. 2 to the president of Clear Channel, the parent company of Limbaugh's talk show.

I know this move will drive you Libs crazy, but for everyone else, don't you just love it!!

Islamic fundamentalists are like cockroaches, an infestation to be eliminated. The phrase "War on Terror" elevates the fundamentalist to the role of soldier or warrior, which they are not simply because warriors and soldiers do not hide themselves among the civilian population, especially not among children. Wouldn't a better phrase be "Extermination of Terrorists"?

I went past a hunt , saw them all dressed up in their camouflage gear pretending to be "Rambo" while shooting rabbits.

Then I saw photos of the royal family shooting stags, again in camouflage outfits.

I have to wonder at the mentality of somebody who stalks and kills something so beautiful as a stag (or innoffensive as a wild rabbit.)

So in your opinion, is this considered art?

Should this type of stunt deserve to go into an art museum?

An Abductor who in the space of a few minutes,

Drugs a child with seditives and waits until they have kicked in,

Beats the child up,

Cleans up the DNA he doesn't want the police to find,

Puts the toy on the cupbord,

esapes through the window even though he got in through a unlocked door,

Whilst doing the abducting he kept had a game of hide & seek with gerry when gerry checked on the children. hid in wardrobe.

Not forgeting it was pitch dark so the abductor must have night vision because he could hardly put the lights on to clean up the DNA because gerry was talking to mr wilkins outside the apartment for a few minutes.

The police must be laughing at the mccanns and clarence.

He would rather escape through a window then an unlocked door ?
He also left a footprint on the bed,and re made the bed.
And he only had one leg.
My question is....
What do you think the PJ's chances are of finding this person ?

Quote from article in the link, from a friend of Gerry and Kate.

"He added that while it would be a "tragedy" for the family if police searches eventually yield the little girl's body, at least it would help lift the cloud of suspicion from them."

1) Finding the body wont automatically clear them at all.

2) ... and most F n importantly ......... clearing suspicion from Gerry and Kate is NOT the number one task here. Finding Madeleine alive should be. If Gerry and Kate's main aim here is to be cleared of suspicion, even if it means having Madeleine turn up dead, then it says it all about these 2. Its about them first, Madeleine a distant second.

People are waiting for their post, innocent people who haven't done anything to you. Okay, a two-day strike is fine, but come on, how long will this one be going on for? We depend on you, you know it and you're using this to our (HUGE) disadvantage!

University applicants for Oxbridge are in trouble and have to go all the way to Oxford or Cambridge.
I am waiting for some very important books to come.
Bills will be paid late, resulting in penalties.

The above are just some random examples.

I have to agree with 'Adams' question regarding the behaviour this afternoon f many Pro-McCanns. Over tme I have developed an understanding with many Pro-McCanns that while I did not agree with them at least I respected their views, but now I'm appalled. How could these people (who I presume are grown adults) abuse someone en masse just because she does not speak English very well.

I'm appalled by their behavior are you, I think some of these bigots need to be reported do you ?

Did you notice how the McFanns demonstrated their prejudiced behaviour by ganging up as a pack against someone who is Portuguese on YA and does not speak good English. These are the same people who accuse people they see as being anti-McCann as being rude. Yet earlier they displayed vile discrimination against a non-English speaker apparently just for kicks, using obcenities or crude language against the persons intelligence. What absolutlely vile people the Pro-McCanns are turning out to be.

Could the McFanns get any worse ?
