It is a serious situation, but I find it funny that the president will not let congress go home until they have done their job.
Whether you like Bush or not, this is funny!
Its about time Congress is taken down a notch in their thinking they are above the rest of us.

My first thought when I read this story is WTF?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=473005&in_page_id=1770

A lover of a man who had a 17 month old child tortured the baby in the hope the baby would be taken away so she could have the man to herself as she saw the baby as a nuisance.

"The child suffered a litany of fractures and bruises as his limbs were "twisted and pulled", he was burnt with a cigarette and even had his leg progressively sliced open until the wound was so deep tendons and veins were exposed."

"Many of his injuries were ignored for days, causing him to scream as his broken bones ground together."

"His many injuries included a broken thigh and shin and three fractured ribs. A doctor who examined him said he looked like a car accident victim"

"The pair, who each face up to 14 months jail, were both remanded in custody."

14 months???????? for not just killing a child, but TORTURING the child till he died!!

If we pulled all US/UK troops home immediately and stopped giving them any more money, what do you believe would be the outcome to the Iraqi people?

So, here is the advice that Cherie Blair QC is providing some club owners on how to beat the ban while they are pushing their case through the European courts.

"Door staff should ask everyone entering the club if they are policemen are a council officer - which they must declare if asked - and if the answer is yes, the door staff radio down the information to the bar. Customers then put their cigarettes in the ashtrays. Even if they are lit, it can not be proved that anyone was actually smoking them"

WOW - Nice little loop hole in the law. This is being done at Abracadabra and Hey Jo night clubs.

Fantastic!!! They are on my list of night spots now. Very well done to Dave West and the others involved.

We split up soon after that .........

Omg so embarrasing advice please?
I was at the movie theater with my boyfriend watching a romantic comedy. After drinking a large Pepsi I had to pee so bad so I crossed my legs and tried to hold it in. The movie was getting really good so I didn’t want to get up and miss it by going to the bathroom so I held it a little longer. The kissing scene came on and my boyfriend pressed his weight up against me and I let out a groan telling him I wanted more. Unfortunately a groan wasn’t all I let out and soon enough I was peeing as fast as Niagara Falls. When the movie was over we got up to leave and my boyfriend reached to squeeze my butt and received a nasty surprise.

He screamed in disgust and left me standing in the lobby getting disturbed looks from passerby’s.

Would you rather see our department of homeland security working, on an investigation on the bridge collapse in minnesota or on terroristic threats that have already been made against the U.S?

Who's mourning him then?

I'm glad they did treat him in hospital actually (despite the waste of taxpayers' money) because it made him look small and pathetic and took away his martyr status - he tried to kill us, failed, nearly killed himself in the process (obviously not a very *good* suicide bomber) and we tried to save him, hence we are better than him.

They are still talking about the bridge collapsing in Minneapolis.
Is there nothing else going on in the news?

I was amazed that only a handful of people were killed in this collapse. It was a horrible thing to have happen but I'm just amazed that the majority survived.

Does anyone know if any children were among the deceased?

This is a quote from Albert Einstein:

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

It appears as if Albert E. would not support George Bush, the War or the Troops....

in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why not bring all of all those Halliburton type contractors back home and have them fix the bridges and roads that are in disrepair? If you want to experience real terror, drive across a bridge that can't pass a safety inspection. The bad guys are us if we don't do more to prevent what happened in Minnesota from happening again.
