"But Kate and Gerry have told Metodo 3 boss Francisco Marco to get on with finding Madeleine rather than making bold claims to the Press."

"But a friend of the McCanns said: “It’s fair to say Mr Marco has been told to get on with the job of finding Madeleine rather than making public statements.”


Another friend said the couple may sack Marco and his team of 35 private detectives – whom they are paying £50,000 a month – if there are any more public outbursts."


Im predicting Metado 3 only have another month to milk the fund before their gravy train is over! lol.

If you believed their 'Joseph Goebbels', Clarence Mitchell, they are the most devoted parents in the world.

However having dumped their 3 children off in the creche all day so that they could enjoy their holidays with the adults, we read an article in todays Times which states:

"They were first to the table at the restaurant at 8.35 and spent some minutes talking to a couple from Hertfordshire – two more tennis players – at the next table, who were eating with their young children. As they chatted, Gerry thought how lucky he was, his children asleep nearby, he and Kate free to come and enjoy some adult time at the restaurant and not have to sit with their children, as this couple were."

Hang on Gerry ......... youve had 'adult time' all bloody day ........ now youre relieved that you also get to have it all evening as well?

Good to note that the other 2 people from Hertfordshire actually brought their children to the restaurant and looked after them real parents would.

A 14-year-old girl has had her father convicted of assault after he slapped her for refusing to go to school.
Forklift driver Steven Hanson, 42, slapped unruly Gemma, 14 - described as the "devil incarnate" by neighbours - after she yelled abuse at him and refused to go to school.
He thought it was just a bit of old-fashioned discipline. But she took him to court for assault. Now Steven has been convicted and ordered to carry out 50 hours' unpaid work.
Baffled, he said after the hearing: "In one way I regret what happened. But in another I don't, as Gemma just defies me. She has no respect.
"Why shouldn't I be able to discipline her? It never hurt me. When I was a kid the bobbies used to give us a clip and we'd get the cane.
"My hands are tied and she's walking all over me. She keeps pushing and pushing and one day I'll do it again. I know I will".

Investigators say an elderly woman likely died of exposure after the electricity in her northern New Mexico home was cut off. Her frozen body was found Thursday morning in her home..The medical investigator said someone close to the 69 ear old woman even tried to pay the utility bill for her, but the power company would not accept it. knowing the temps would drop well below freezing....
SO is this just business as usual or a case of murder knowing that with her power cut off and no where else to go she would likely die???

Will anyone join me in a prayer for the two McCann parents this Christmas ? I have said a prayer for them and asked God to make it a little easier for them through Christmas day.
What they must going through coming up to Christmas must be agony beyond belief. Let's not castigate them anymore. They were idiots for leaving their baby alone.... but then who isn't an idiot one time or another ? Mea culpa, mea culpa, that's what I say.
Prayer for the McCanns ? Please ?!
Will anyone say 'Amen' after me ?

There is a continued discussion in the US (media, intelligentsia, etc) about the need to secure the Pakistani nuclear assets by taking over Pakistan. This is very much like what the US troops did in the Korean war when to protect a village from communists, they decided to destroy it. So is it a serious threat? Are they going to attack Pakistan? If so, WHEN?

I think he did. When Droopy (Drew P.) answered his cell phone and said he was at home, the caller (Stacy's sister) was in front of his house.His car was not there. He sounded out of breath adn she heard kays jingling.

The investigators have tracked the call to a particular cell tower which would put himin Romeoville, near the canal that investigators have been digging up.

Do you think this is going to be his fatal mistake? The one that he forgot about when he planned to kill his wife?

He recently transferred almost a quarter million dollars to his son Steve, the one who is also a cop but not in the same town.
Where does this SOB get all this money? He alleges that Stacy took $25,000 in cash.

And what about his fund raiser website? What was the point of that? I can not figure that part out.

I could do it myself, since I support free-market healthcare, but I'm not the best at describing things. So maybe in bulletin form someone could write a bunch of reasons I could use to counter Democrat candidates. Or maybe someone knows a good site for said information.

Thanks!
