Anybody else out there notice a pattern? That ever since "W's" been in office and totally screwed our relationship with OPEC (Not that it was that great to begin with), that at the beginning of the holiday season gas prices go through the "roof" and right before the apex of Christmas shopping begins and retailers are wringing there hands awaiting the onslot, gas prices dip slightly so " The Madison Avenue gang" can get theirs. Now if history serves as any guide to the future, there'll refineries going off line for maintenance and repair around the first of the year to justify gas prices going back up right after new years. Republicans need not respond (your to far gone as it is).

Is it the bad weather? The bad government? People made bitter by life? Or something else maybe?

It's no wonder the rest of Europe hates us. Anyone from another country reading the anti-McCann bile must think the British are a bunch of vile and miserable louts.

A forensic expert has said that ALL the evidence has been contaminated and is therefore useless. How convenient for the McSwindlers if this is true. They are going to get away with everything and they know it.

When was the last time someone was beaten up or killed by someone who had had too many cigarettes? When was the last time someone was killed by someone driving who was over the nicotine limit? When was the last time a family broke up over someone's nictotine dependence?

Once you're done with smokers and the drinkers, who's next? The obese? The lazy? Those with special needs?

The question is kind of juxtaposed as europeans being the most creative peoples they invented the racisim industry so that black and muslim people can enternally complain against fake injustices that are just a figment of their imagination. But white liberals are a special case as they are very condescending to the white working classes who are the least racist group in society- by sneering at them and calling them racist they think that morally and intellectually they are superior. Blacks are the group everybody will be bending over backwards from now until hell frezzes over as they will be the special child\village idiot that is at fault for nothing and never will be. But the muslims are probably the worlds most dangerous racists - claiming victim status and that they are the persecuted but they have not advanced civilisation one iota and would be happy to use western technoligies to send the whole globe back into the dark ages so we all live in caves even you creepy white liberals

very hard to believe.

Throughout the years I've read about AIDS and some of the best believe theories from many scientists. Some of them were one written by a Cuban doctor whom insisted it was brought to the US by people in the Mariel boatlift. I believe she works in a Miami university.

Second was about a foreigner (won't mention his origin) whom was a flight attendant whom had had intimate relations with between 2 thousand and fourth thousand men!

Both these theories were thoroughly explained. A third was that it was brought into NYC by gay sailors in the 1976 US 200th anniversary!

Now this theory of having it been around since 1969!

No. Israelis have always counted themselves as the "goodies" and "fair dealers". And a "can do" mentality. No wonder their arrogance. And no wonder their brutalities against Palestinians. But one thing I am certain, they will never be in peace. And will never see victory. Never. In ten, twenty, thirty or fifty years they will go to the history books like the ancient Spartans. Defeated. What do you say?

I am not saying what Micheal Vick did was right. I am saying he shouldn't be punished. (I don't think he should lose his football career over it).

There are other events that happen that far outweigh what Vick did. These incidents were barely mentioned in the media. A young girl was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by 6 people in W. Virginia. Six teenage male were unjustly charge with a far more heavier crime than what they did.....Jena Six.

This was swept in under the rug, one of Vick's teammates killed his girlfriend's dog with his bare hands in retaliation. What do yall think of all of this?

i write for my university's student paper, doing gig reviews. obviously it would be very helpful if i could get some sort of press pass so i can get some decent pics etc.
i have asked about it at the papers meetings but due to lack of staff and money it keeps getting forgotten about- its on the "to do list"- so i thought id just try to get it done myself.
so how do i go about getting a press pass???

There's been other strategies: vote in the opposition, Congress halting war spending, peace marches, etc.

I was thinking more along the lines of the 80s/90s student movements that boycotted companies investing in apartheid-era South Africa. Eventually, even state governments even joined the boycott, which meant large-scale assets were diverted from S.A. And the PR was disasterous for embedded companies.

Does anyone have ideas on how to stop the war or what to possibly boycott? It's not like Haliburton has publicly sold products that we could boycott or something. (Besides, their revenue stream comes from government, not from the general public.)

What about Coke and/or Pepsi -- and all of their products (Taco Bell, etc, etc)? I can't think of a direct link, but they might at least lobby politicians if they start losing money ...

but its interesting to decide what one would do.
the siyuation;
you are in the middle east,and there is a huge flood in progress,many homes have been lost,water supplies compromised and structures destroyed.youare a photographer getting still photos for the cnn news service and are travelling alone,looking for particularly poignant scenes.
you come across osama bin laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters.he isbarely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under.you can either put down your camera and save him or take a pulitzer prize winning photograph of him as he loses grip of the limb
so heres the question...and think carefully before you answer the question below;
which lens would you use?

President wrong for causing the need for a "constant string of investigations"?

Is it the role of Congress to ensure oversight or is that unnecessary during this time of war??

basically Team McCann lied when they insisted weeks ago that the fund WOULD NOT be used for personal expenses and living costs


I am having to re post it as it seems the Pro McCanns could not produce an adequate answer, so they turned to reporting it.
