I mean, Bush went 2 terms with things like;

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." -at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002

"I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah." --at a White House menorah lighting ceremony, Washington, D.C., Dec. 10, 2001

"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." --as quoted in Bob Woodward's Bush at War

"F*ck Saddam. We're taking him out." --to three U.S. senators in March 2002, one year before the Iraq invasion, as quoted by Time magazine

I was just contacted by a major national newspaper who's writing a story on an event that happened at a nightclub. I was there shooting and they want to publish a couple of my photos.

I have no idea how much to charge them. They almost sounded like they wanted the photos for free though.

... before he leaves office. I imagine that he will throw a giant parade for them and say "the war is over". That way everyone will be so pleased that their loved ones have come home and the flashy parade that they will be blinded by everything wrong he has done (which he seems to be fairly good at doing). Then people will say, "he wasn't a bad President really" which is a complete lie. It will be years untill a few clever people start saying "actually he was a terible President, and then in a few more years it will become genral knowledge that he is considered good, but was actually very poor.

I realise it seems unlikely now, and that last part doesn't make much sense, but try to imagine it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for troops coming home, the sooner the better, if you agree with the cause you must still want them to come home, as with any war. But I don't want to see people forget that George Bush is a terible President and always should be remembered so.

...they're saying all the right things about taxation and crime. I haven't met one single person who has a good word to say about Labour. I think they're going to make Gordon Brown the shortest-lived abour Prime Minister in history if he calls snap election. People are actually realising that his trip to Iraq this week and announcement of troop withdrawls is nothing more than spin.

Are Labour's days numbered? I think so...

First of all. Hi, my name is Jenn and i need opinions for a Freshman school project.

The media is literally stalking celebrities these days. And keeps on interrupting major news. For exapmle, instead of talking about the toy recalls with the Mattel company, people would rather talk about how Britney Spears' custody battle between Kevin Federline. Is this a concern for our saftey? Because instead of hearing about the recall on foods or toys painted with lead, we'd hear on the news about Tom Cruise and his new movie.

The media needs a good reality check. Nothing is all fairy tales.

This is a serious question:

Does anyone know a Pro McCann left on YA who can actually answer a question ?

Most just answer:

1) Some abusive comment
2) 'Get a life'
3) Why are you so interested in the McCanns

Do you know any pro McCanns who can actually Question and Answer ?

realizes they were mislead and how suspect the McCanns are? Or are you all still in denial about their guilt? If there is anyone who has the guts to admit it when did you finally wake up and smell the coffee?

Ok suppose they didn’t do it.
These are the things that bother me and why I seem obsessed with them as accused.

1) Why did they state they would help with the investigation as much as possible and then when in a position to do so refuse to answer 40 questions?
2) Why hire lawyers before private investigators? They have only now really started what appears to be a real search for Maddie and this seems more to clear any smear on their names than to find their daughter.
3) Why if this police in Portugal have bungled things don’t they arrest and charge one of their suspects ‘Robert Murat’ whom it was stated was seen on the night of the so called abduction? This would save them all the hassle they are now facing.
4) Why are the British media so pro two parents who left three under five year old children alone in a strange apartment in a strange country when they could have had baby sitters, whom their children would have known as they spent a lot of time in the crèche before and

Yahoo's front page is running a story that Simpson must forfeit his Rolex and other assests to Fred Goldman. So I began thinking about his other recent run in with the law and the infamous trial from the 90's. Why is it that The Juice never pursued trying to find the killer of his wife? Is it because, oh I don't know, say, that all signs would come back pointing to HIM doing it?
