WE have been very critical of Bill Clinton's history on cheating on Hillary with women afer women, but is it time we forgave him? The more we find out about the Witch he is married to, the more we understand why he cheated. Who would want to be married to Hillary, who would want Hillary as a mother...NO ONE......Can we forgive Bill, and say we all understand now how lousy it must have been to live with her and her profane mouth and attitude.........and her thunder thighs???? Her over bite??? Can we forgive Bill fror wanting her out of the house and on the campaign trail????

A friend of mine was arrested out of state last week for DUI. While she was being transported, the cop slammed backward into another police car. She said the two cops thought it was the funniest thing they ever saw. She's complained of headaches several times since, but didn't think of the connection. She's facing serious fines in the case and it doesn't seem right for the cop to not be held accountable for his moronic accident. Should she see someone about personal injury?

They say national poltics doesnt have much of an effect on a local level, but it must over time. Doesnt this increase in socioapths and hatemongers in our political system eventually lead to some serious consequences in our quality of life?

And if so, what would have to be done to reverse this trend? Surely apathy is not the long-term answer.

For years I know this full-time nurse (!) who calls herself a PI just by looking up search sites from her home computer on her time off from the hospital. Her clients are adopted people who pay her to search for their real parents. She DOES go on location & grill those in question at their home just like a police detective if they're in her home area.

She also "abuses" her power by looking up dirt on any one on the internet who disagrees with her. She does threaten them by showing them their social security numbers to them as proof of her expertise.

She has NO license to be a real PI, nor does she have any police connections in case of trouble. So I figure she cannot just walk into a station and ask to look up someone's police report there for instance.

I think she is running a very dangerous "second job," because if she provokes the wrong person, she could be targeted herself.

Is it THAT easy for you and I to call ourselves a PI?

Nobody voted for Gordon Brown. They voted for Tony Blair who said he'd serve a full term. I think Gordon Brown should therefore have called an election and let the people decide.

and Yes I am white. and not that I should use the west coast or the east coast or the southernmost part of the country as a measurement, but I have traveled to a lot of big cities in the US. and I'm seeing a new "race" throughout this country. This new "race" is the result of intermingling and intermarriage I believe. Thus we have a new hue of coloring...which I must admit, is rather beautiful.
The United States seems to be becoming a nation of people of color.
Has anyone else noticed?
Will this make a difference in a few decades with reference to each state's government representation?

(Don't answer unless you have traveled to at least four other states besides the one you live in.)

Ever notice how the Government really enforces law that have monetary value to them? Take for instance simple speeding, marijuana growing/use [alcohol is a drug but Gov. makes big tax money on it], taxes [like the Brown's in Illinois], but let other's slide [immigration]. Selective enforcement = how convenient.

Are we wise to go to Europe?
 
The European  Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.  

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English."

In the first year,  "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil  servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year  when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words  like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of  the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated  changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of  double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.  

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people  wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w"with "v".  

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords  kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten  styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.  

Und efter  ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If you people really believe this, then you are sheeples, and you clearly are willing to surrender control of your life to the courts. Sure, for guys, what the judge is doing to Britney is in many ways sweet revenge, but what they do to Britney today, they will be doing to all of you, and your children, and your grandchildren tomorrow. All your ex has to do in the future is find someone willing to claim you were intoxicated or acting lewdly in front of your children, and you lose custody of your children, and large sums of money for custody. Never mind that the person testifying against you might be getting all kinds of rewards from your ex for their testimony, your life will now be controlled by a judge. There is no requirement for a trial by a jury, no requirement of evidence, nada. The courts are now able to dictate the morals of the individual.

Wake up people!!!!
