News & Events - December 2007

Here's the story from the UK 'telegraph' newspaper web site:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=A1YourView&xml=/money/2007/12/11/cnusa111.xml
Who else is covering this significant story?
CNN-no
MSNBC-no
New York Times- no
Wall Street Journal for Christ sake!- no
Fox-Hahaha!
This is very strange. Maybe they don't want to spook holiday shoppers? Hardly the first story about America I've had to seek out in the foreign press, just a particularly egregious one...

I think Nurses should get paid most (most have a degree), police second (most don't have a degree, and it's not really as dangerous as they like to claim).

Teachers least because they are just bouncers nowadays.

I don't get it, why should we show respect to the way the U.S. goverment sends these guys out to Iraq for no apperent reason. They said they had nuclear weapons... So what so do we... Why does the USA have to stick there nose in everyones business, tell those other countries what they can and can't do. When it's really none of our business... You know if these soilders wanted respect don't you think they would just not join. We wouldn't need anyone protecting our country if this country wasn't such a bully.

I mean these poor guys are dying over there and why? Because there fighting a war that is not needed. Were not protecting out country... Were bullying someone elses country...

What do you people think?
Do you think I'm wrong...?

I mean I'm so sick of hearing people that are heros are the people fighting in the miltary.

Those people are not heros. There just getting bullied by the goverment to go fight stupid wars. I mean it's ridiculous.

I thought he died from cancer a few years ago. I must have been thinking of peter jennings huh. I guess I just assumed since I was not seeing Tom Brokaw every night it meant he was either fired or dead that must not be the case.

China sure seems to cry alot about past atrocities. The rape of Nanking, WW2 They are such poor victims. I guess they forgot about the time they invaded tibet and massacred all those blood thirsty buddhists, and about the time they invaded korea with the communist forces, and about how they still execute Christians like Nero were the president, and about how they execute more people than all other governments combined, and about how they use their own people like coal to fuel growth. China is so emotionally crushed, they must have forgotten all those things.

Our legislators just awarded... the 'leaders'.... another 70 BILLION to continue the ongoing massacres in Iraq?

BUT this horribly wronged vet - must accept and be content with less than $1000 for the injustices done to him . . . from WW II????

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/12/soldier.back.pay/index.html

Despicable - our leaders, our armed forces, and the whole of the USA public - who does NOT stand up - and scream. . . to END this debacle. . . and compensate this VET his fair due.

In case you aren't familiar with the story, this took place in Houston. Horn is defending himself saying he was protecting his neighbor's property as well as their neighborhood. Many people here in Texas are saying he should not be charged.

Here's a link to the article in the Houston Chronicle:

What do you think?

This bear walks into a bar. Then he sits down and orders a beer.

The bartender, amazed that this bear can actually talk, gives him a beer.

The bear says, "What do I owe you?"

The bartender stops and thinks for a moment.

"Even though this bear is smart," thinks the bartender, "he probably hasn't been in many bars."

So the bartender says, "That'll be ten dollars."

The bear forks over the money and starts drinking his beer.

After a few minutes, the bartender can't restrain his curiosity, so he walks back over to the bear and tries to strike up a conversation.

"You know, we don't get many bears in this bar."

The bear looks up from his beer and says, "Well, at ten bucks a beer, I'm not surprised."

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk.
"You used to hold my hand while we were courting," she said. Warily, the man reached across, held her hand for a second, then tried to go back to sleep.
A few moments later she said, "Then you used to kiss me".Mildly irritated, he rolled over, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled back down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my neck."Angrily, the man threw back the covers and got out of bed."Where are you going?" his wife asked.
"To get My Teeth!"

Drew Peterson is asking the public for money via the internet for his legal defense! NO WAY! This guy is so bold!

HIs attorney said any money collected from DefendDrew.com will go into an account that Peterson will not have any control over. But the site has since been disabled.

Do you find this as disgusting as I do? Why is he not concerned where is wife could be?

This man is not right in the head.
