The Proud Marine entered and sat down to be served and then discovered the restaurant was owned by Iraq people. (Note: There are 500,000 arabs in Michigan) When the nice little sweet waitress (Who is an Iraqi) ask him what he would like he took one look at her and his lower lip started to quiver and he broke down and cried like a newborn baby. Now why would that Marine do that for?

How would one go about pressuring the government into banning parking fees for medical building lots/structures? I think it is horrible that you have to drag yourself to a doctor, pay doctors fees, pay insurance, and then oh yeah, you owe 5 dollars because you were 31 minutes in the lot instead of 30 to get a freebie.

Are "Mexicans Without Borders a strongly anti-American group that refuses to embrace American culture, refuses to respect American sovereignty and certainly does not respect American laws,"?
Prince William Chairman Corey A. Stewart, R-at large, said congress and the president aren't doing their jobs when it comes to illegal immigration, so the task is left to the county.

"Congress has failed. The president has failed to attack this problem and as a result, communities such as ours are paying the price in terms of crowded classrooms, crowded jails and hospitals," Stewart said Monday at a press conference held by Help Save Manassas, a local grassroots group opposed to illegal immigration.

"Because the federal government has failed, Prince William County is stepping up to the plate," Stewart said.

Help Save Manassas held the press conference to mark the end of the weeklong boycott that was aimed at Prince William County businesses.

Mexicans Without Borders, an immigrant rights group, organized the boycott to protest a resolution that would deny county services to illegal immigrants.

Dan Arnold, vice president of Help Save Manassas, said people wouldn't be bullied by Mexicans Without Borders.

"We're here to affirm that our residents and their government will not be intimidated or dissuaded from protecting the cities, towns and neighborhoods of Prince William County," Arnold said.

The press conference followed a Sunday demonstration

How do you like life over there compared to back home? I have dual citizenship but have spent all my teenage and adult years in London, sometimes I consider moving back because of cost of living being so high here, but certain things worry me- namely health care costs, the conservative extremists, the significantly lower paid holiday allowance... So I'm just wondering how people who have done this feel, what the pros and cons were for you... anything that might help me make up my mind really!

Bullet holes in Pat Tillman raised suspicions about his death, documents show
The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO | Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The examiners tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player’s death in Afghanistan amounted to a crime, the documents show.

“The medical evidence did not match up with the scenario as described,” a doctor who examined Tillman’s body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said the bullet holes were so close together it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away

I talked to my recruiter and he told me PJ reservists work more than 1 weekend a month and have to live fairly close to the base they are assigned to.
So I was trying to figure out how much they make since they have to pay for their own house or apartment or can they live on base and the military covers it or what?
Also any good work outs I could do to get in better shape.
Right now im doing....
5 sets or max push ups rest 2 mins in between ( every other day)
10 set of max push ups rest 2 mins in between (on push up days)
run 1 mile every other day.
5 sets of max sit ups on run days.
anything i can do to get in better shape?....and is their any good weight gaining protien shakes or bars that have worked for you...They really dont do much for me or i havent noticed a significant change in weight yet at least.

Thanks, Matt

I posted this query Friday and today found that the question AND all accompanying answers had been DELETED!, and I was issued a Violation Notice to boot!!! And NO, there were none of My usual sexual innuendos present; ONLY the simple QUESTION. Those of you who know Me already know that I JUST DON'T QUIT!!! I want to know EVERYTHING I can, because Knowledge IS Power, and I am not afraid to admit My few intellectual shortcomings if I encounter them.
So, WHO can tell Me:

Many consider Thomas Jefferson a hypocrite because he wrote the DOI, which included "All men are created Equal", but owned slaves...What is some evidence of Jefferson's TREATMENT OF HIS SLAVES or his STATEMENTS MADE TOWARD AFRICAN AMERICANS living in the U.S. at the time that would debunk arguments that claim he IS a hypocrite??
Thanks for your advie.

had to give up his campaign bus.Blew through over $25 million dollars - just to end up in the doghouse.(which he probably can't pay for either anymore).
It is a sad day - as the campaign has lost one of it's more comic heroes - don't you think?
