Sen. David Vitter on Monday( Republican) denied having relationships with New Orleans prostitutes, a week after admitting links to a Washington escort service that federal prosecutors allege was a prostitution ring.

Vitter emerged from a week of seclusion by appearing at a news conference in suburban Metairie while holding hands with his wife, Wendy. He denied the New Orleans prostitution allegations and offered no indication that he would resign. He said he planned to fly Monday night to Washington to resume work in the Senate. I am a proud Republican and I am an honest man. I was just doing what the Republicans do and now that I'm caught I will do my best to be a better person.

Homer Simpson or the Cerne Abbas giant?

"Pagans have pledged to perform "rain magic" to wash away a cartoon character painted next to their famous fertility symbol - the Cerne Abbas giant. A doughnut-brandishing Homer Simpson now adorns the hillside above Cerne Abbas, Dorset, next to the giant.

The ancient chalk outline of the naked, sexually aroused, club-wielding giant is believed by many to be a symbol of ancient spirituality. Many couples also believe the 180ft carving aids fertility.

The Simpsons character was painted next to the figure on Monday in a publicity stunt to promote The Simpsons movie released later this month. It has been painted with water-based biodegradable paint which will wash away as soon as it rains."

I really think it’s only a matter of time before terrorist get a small nuclear device,
And blow up one of our coasts permanently. If not a nuke, a dirty bomb is being plotted this very second.

How can Americans still sit her and say “I hate Bush”, “The war is for oil”.
I think this country has lost its identity, not because we bribe other countries to not make nukes with incentives, and not because we toppled Iraqs government.
(Heck, we could have done that years before desert storm, when we turned back just short of Saddams palace.)

I think something has happened to where we are not Americans anymore, we are to worried about something else, what is it people?

United we stand, divided we fall.

Why does he continue to try to tie Iraq to 9/11? Why does he still imply that "Al-Qaeda in Iraq" is the same Al-Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11, when they're not? Why does he keep making more excuses and asking for more time when things are only getting worse and American soldiers continue to die for people that don't want us there?

First you have to have 2 hours to watch this video. I realize this will be one of the most difficult movies you have ever seen, but if you check your facts and remember that our government has lied many many times in the past to cover up whatever they were doing at the time. Any true American must have the capability in them to question their actions.

If you cherish your FREEDOM as much as I do then
Watch and share this video with everyone you know

Is having to endure THESE events not sacrifice enough? Were we living in the devil-may-care hands-off world of the '90s, there wouldn't be any concern for these issues.

With all this controversy about what has happened to Madeliene, it would be interesting to see a police point of view.

I myself think there is something very strange about the whole case. Gerry McCann is a weird man, and all the stories that are coming out just contradict each other.

If any bobbies on here have been keeping up to date with the McCann Q&As i would like to know what they think.

Well, I noticed that everyone was asking this question in dave s' earlier post, and took it upon myself to ask it, myself!

So please, justify why exactly Team McCann needs a million pounds when seemingly none of it is actually spent finding Madeleine?

I've read a few versions of the Kate Penland/Garren news story online. Here's one of them, if you haven't seen it: http://www.9news.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=73684 . Apparently, according to the stories, mom & toddler were removed from plane because child was speaking.

Most of the stories I've read that have a comments section, have people saying 'You can't really judge on this story, unless you were there yourself or have at least heard the flight attendant's version of events'.

Does anyone know if the flight attendant has told her version of this situation anywhere? Or, does anyone know of any eye witness accounts of this story from other passengers or staff who were there?

Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama have all agreed to appear at the first ever gay debate. The whole debate will only be for gay issues, like gay marriage and things like that. They're calling it the first ever all-musical presidential debate."

What you think?

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is defending himself Monday after comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler and leaving the impression the administration may have rigged the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Do you agree?


I do not!

I'm upset about two things. First, that it happened, and, second, that the church hierarchy covered it up. I'd like to see a few cardinals and bishops end up behind bars if they knowingly protected sexual predators. Things must have been pretty bad, because the diocese finally paid a ton of dough to get it resolved.

Naxals.We are well equipped to prevent direct confrontation with Pakistan.China will not attempt any such tactics bcoz the old attitudes have changed.Then why wasting money on costly fighters.
