I heard recently that Barrack Obama has a black wife and two black children. Is there any truth to this scandalous information, or is it another trick by Karl Rove?

Bear with me here guys..and ladies ;-) No less than a UNIVERSITY (Centre for Neuroeconomic Studies, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina.)carried out a survey - WHICH COST MEGA BUCKS presumably to come up with predicted answer.. but..

Can thier research be true?

QUOTE http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/05/09/nmen09.xml
" According to the study men take the same pleasure out of looking at an attractive female form as they do from having a curry or making money whereas women do not take any significant reward from looking at pictures of men....The survey published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B said that brain scan studies show that "reward centres" are triggered in men when they gaze at a woman's face or body whereas they are not in females. It also shows men are more likely to make an effort to view pictures of the opposite sex and pay out money. "

You liberals who rule Yahoo answers, why not help build a fence to keep America safe. If America were safe, you'd be free to hate it like you do.

My question is straightforword, but twofold:
1) Is there one specific court in which federal racketeering charges are prosecuted? I don't know if this is a simple answer or not, but the reason I ask leads me to my next question.
2)The reason that I'm asking this is because I am looking for legal filings related to a family member from a federal racketeering case in the early 1990s. Is there any specific (and preferably free) online (or if not, some kind at least) resource where I can access the full text of the court documents detailing the charges (i.e. the indictment or other similar documents)?

Thank you very much for your time, and I hope that this isn't too complicated of a question.

I am about to file for divorce & NEED to prove my husband is an alcoholic & will put our 3-year-old's safety at risk. I know most judges will rule the alcoholic can't drive the child or have him overnight, but I have no proof that my husband is a drunk!
He drinks at his home & doesn't drive much. He hides vodka in his laptop bag so he can drink at work, but hasn't been caught yet. Strangely enough, he is a brilliant IT director & very respected!
I know for a fact that he drink around the clock because he has physical withdrawals if he goes without alcohol one day. He physically can't avoid alcohol in order to have visitation since he gets violently ill, so I know he'll drink while caring for my son (even if the jugde orders him not to).
Since he has no DUI offenses & hasn't lost jobs due to driking, what else can I do to prove he is an alcoholic & that he will put our son's safety in danger?
BTW, he has driven my son while drunk...I just don't have evidence to show the court.

Hillary’s activist work at Yale with the Black Panthers, won her a summer internship at the Berkeley office of attorney Robert Treuhaft in 1972. A hardline Stalinist, Treuhaft had quit the Communist Party in 1958 only because it was losing members and no longer provided a good platform for his activism.

"Treuhaft is a man who dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party and the KGB," notes historian Stephen Schwartz

They have NOTHING in common. Christian conservatives don't want the same things that the Taliban wants, and Taliban-controlled governments leave their citizens much worse off than ANY Christian-run government ever has. So why do people make this comparison? What do they HONESTLY have in common?
And yes, if someone posts things that the Taliban and Christianity have in common, I will post responses!

I heard that America & England won't go war with Iran, but what it changed their mind not to go war with Iran? I didin't heard nothing real news on BBC or neither on CNN, I finally listend to the Russian News, they said that Putin warned USA and UK not to go war with Iran, it means that Russia warned them well. If American and UK go to war, it means Russian and China has no choice but to go war with USA and UK. If you guys want to hear the real true news, liste to Russia news channel rather than bbc and CNN. I also heard that China and Russia attempts to make allience with United Korea, to bring it back how it was.

And, how should i pay her? SHe said she perferd cash, but I do not feel safe paying cash. I payed via money order, but forgot to sign it and now she's going to bring them back.
The total was just 350$$, which is nothing.

I mean if you have popular votes outweighs the electoral votes, either way the electoral votes counts the most. Either electoral votes gets kicked out or dubbed down on voting.

George H.W. Bush had this to say in a 1998 Time article, when asked why US/UN forces didn't go after Saddam Hussein after Iraqi forces were pushed out of Kuwait in the Gulf War.

"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."

Seems like besides running the CIA and being a one term president, Bush Sr. was a a fortune teller, for his own kid.

i feel very strongly about this subject. as a mom of 4 who is scared to let her children out to play because of these monsters, i am angry that my kids cant go off like i used to when i was a child. Paedophiles should be given something to fear, not look forward to like rehabilitation. If your hetrosexual, you cant change so what gives the do gooders the right to say that paedo's can stop lusting after 3 year olds? i want to campaign for the death penalty for them. thats the only way forward now.
