President Ford was buried a little more then a week ago...are they still flying at half mast in continued respect or did someone forget to tell everyone to raise them up again?

AMAZING how someone with no formal education can burn through $113,000,000 in 4 years...broke, busted, and now in serious trouble. What a moron!
Their should be a reality TV show showing lottery "winners" 3-5 years AFTER they win big, and see what happens when you put big-bucks into the hands of people who have no sense of money(but a huge appetite at the all-you-can-eat buffet's...)

My own mailman had a cousin who won $5.5 million in the California State Lottery(another wholesale sham). His cousin disowned all relatives, bought a big house, Rolls Royce, etc. With three years...filed for bankrupcy, and then came begging back to the same relatives he dissed.

Oh, yes..."please play responsibly"...

Anyone remember "Our Schools win too!"??

I read that the Doomsday Clock is about to be moved forward. What exactly is it, anyway?

some ideas for previous events in history are:
-pearl harbor has the uss arizona and the uss missouri
-iwo jima is remembered through the usmc war memorial statue/raising the flag on iwo jima by joe rosenthal photograph
-the cemetary in normandy is a symbol for the day the allies invaded europe during ww2

Make Iraq another US state. Iraq would then be under US government and US laws/consitution. Then America can straighten out the country and maybe 20 years later gve it back just as MANY MANY countries that were taken over by the british and others only to be given back after decades of theft.

Has it become so pervasive that nothing or nobody can stand in its way and we are all resigned to policing our children when and if they come in contact with it.

He lied about Iraq. No Question there. Iraq was never a threat, never supported Al Qaida, no WMD's no matter where Powell sent Blix to look.

Tax Cuts for the rich. Lower wages for most Americans.

Secret energy task force, now gas has doubled in price.
No solution to the problem of outsoucing.
No re-eduation of our workforce.
No Child Left Behind underfunded.
Doesn't understand the need for Church and State seperation.
No real effort on Health Insurance (thanks Arnold).
Osama is Free!
Terrorism and hatred of America up, thanks solely to Bush.

That's the short list. Of course he was AWOL, never showed up for his physical while in the Guard.

He makes Clinton look like the Best Ever. Bush has been incompetent on every level from losing the "War on Terror" to his Social Security debacle.

Why does the corporate owned media still protect this guy and his failed policies?

What redeeming features does this presidency have?

Apparently an unfounded accusation by a woman known to "cry wolf" is all that Ms Holloway needs to convict these young men and all but destroy their lives.

This exposes the rabble that are the PC brigade they orchestrate a campaign against an individual who is pretty irrelvant in the bigger scheme of things. So a nasty racist attack reminiscint of the Steven Lawrence attack happens in Swindon except this time the victim is white, yet we dont here a peep from the PC brigade as they are incapable of understantding or blatantly erase it from their minds so it happens in a parallel universe.This exposes the flaw in their masterplan they are basically the left wing eqiuvalent of the bnp yet they operate under the cloak and dagger of moral superiority using the PC charter to uphold their fooked up logic that they and they alone are judge and jury.

I never thought the Iraq invasion was a good idea, and I know a lot of Americans feel the same way.. but that being said, I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who chose to serve their country.

So partisan politics aside - assuming you object to the war - how do YOU support your troops, and if you haven't been - don't you think its time you did?


BTW: I'm Canadian - and haven't visited the States since the Iraq invasion.

1/12/07 - ST. PAUL, MN) - A school bus driver let Rachel Armstrong's three children board the bus Monday morning, but he warned them that he wouldn't give them a ride home that afternoon, nor could they ever ride his route again.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem, according to Armstrong: her 10-year-old twin girls and 8-year-old son speak English. She says school administrators told her the route had been designated for non-English speakers only.

Armstrong says she had to leave work early on Wednesday to pick up her stranded kids from Phalen Lake Elementary School.
Is this fare?

What is this...a major PR stunt?

Madonna wants us to adopt more babies from Africa...Oprah gave up on inner city youth(and opened a school where "whites are not welcome"). I say Oprah has enough of her OWN issues needing to have her stomach stapled so she could "control" herself to eat right instead of addressing the real problem, just like she dissed inner city youth(who claimed IPODs were what they "needed")

If as a nation, we can't take care of our own people...homeless(lot's of vet's too who put their hide on the line for this country), what use is it to find the path of least resistence(and the biggest hoopla in the media). The worlds BIGGEST problem is expotential population growth...we are our own worst enemy.

None of these people provide ANY moral compass how one should live their life.
When giving, you don't and should not be trumpeting what you are doing...God knows your intentions.

Can you believe people will actually kill their own newborn babies!!????!!! I would sooner support Bush to invade India to save new born babies than stay in Iraq!

this should be the new cause of all Christians - or anyone with any since of justice and compassion for life - we must stop infants from being burried alive!!!!!!!!!!!
