I was side swipped yesterday afternoon and my car is totaled. I was backing out of a church parking lot and was going into the center lane of the street. And that's when he hit the rt. back side of my car. The bad thing about this is my son was inches from being hit. He came out with eight stitches on his face and glass in his head. Thank god he's going to be okay but I got a ticket for improper backing. That was the only way out of this parking lot. Ive seen people do it time and time again there so I dont understand why I got the ticket. The guy was going to fast and couldnt slow down. It was raining out so I tried to brake but couldnt. I have court the 28th of Dec. and Im furious. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Bill gave Permanent MFN to China.

China has given millions of dollars to Bill for "speeches."

Hillary will be enjoying that Chinese money for years after Bill is long gone. (I assume she'll live a lot longer than he will.)

And, millions of Americans will SUFFER while she parties with that Chinese money.

Does Hillary show that she "cares" about Americans who are suffering by counting her's and Bill's millions of dollars from China?

My ex stole my truck that he gave me and I want to sue him for taking my vehicle. I have the signed title and the key still, and I filed a police report when the vehicle was stolen. I have substantial proof that it was him and I can get more (an audio tape of him admitting to it if needed) because he still calls me. HE ADMITTS TO DOING THE CRIME!!! HELLO. Why is it so hard to find a lawyer. Please help. I know I have a case. Every number that I call refers me to another number. I want to sue him for at least $20,000 but I don't have much money and I need a pro-bono lawyer.

The Chineese govt. is ruthless and they are very willing to sacrifice many of their cities in a nuclear war, they would be more than willing to use Nukes too- but could the USA come up with a tactical response to win against such a ruthless enemy?

I live in another state than my brother and sister and after my mom died I came back home to be with my family and go back to work and left the probate and other details with my siblings (I trusted them) and instead of complying with the will, sell all assets and divide equally my brother bought my sister out and told me to go to hell so I received nothing from my parents will or personal property. They went against everything the will stated. How do I find information on how to sue them for what is mine. and how can they do whatever they want when I was on the will as an heir? They owe me about $30,000 and for the past 5 years my brother has been living in the house they were suppose to sell can I sue him for back rent? they also gained complete control over all the vehicles, rv's, property and left me with nothing. Help! I have always taken care of my kids on my own and those two have ALWAYS mooched off mom and dad and never paid them a single cent for living in their house.

CBS News gathered the information and the results are staggering. They estimated that, in 2005 alone, 6,256 veterans killed themselves after returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. This figure does not include those soldiers who kill themselves while serving. It breaks down to 120 veterans weekly, and 17 vets every day.

The Department of Veteran's Affairs and other agencies claim that these suicides have nothing to do with military service, but are because of "personal problems." But others feel that the head traumas sustained and the gut-wrenching experiences of this war are causing deep depression and suicide after returning home.

My question is, why do you think this is happening, and what can be done to prevent these veterans from taking their own lives?

these were some of the lofty goals GWB presented to America when running for president in 2000. In 2000, America was ready to be led in that direction until the events of 9/11.
Most people seem to agree that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. But who led whom into that invasion?
Did Bush lead the American people into Iraq, or did the American people lead Bush in that direction?
After all, the invasion of Iraq was approved by a vast majority in congress, some of whom are presidential candidates today.
Consider this. If GWB had proposed invading Iraq in June of 2001, would the congress and the American public agreed with this war proposal? Not likely, I think.
So the question is:
Does the blame for Iraq lay solely on GWB, or does each American equally shoulder the burden of this war? Can Americans really be led in a direction they are unwilling to go?

Short of Money, G.O.P. Enlists Rich Candidates
By RAYMOND HERNANDEZ

Confronting an enormous fund-raising gap with Democrats, Republican Party officials say they are recruiting wealthy candidates who can spend millions of their own money to finance their Congressional races.

A gradual, natural reduction in membership or personnel, as through retirement, resignation, or death.

Bush understands that attrition must be the means to end terrorism in the middle east and that his plan is going to work eventually .

IF President Bush and all his men were truly interested in slowing down the tide of illegal immigrants, all they would have to do is enforce current employment law. With American corporate profiteers willing and able to break laws to increase their bottom line, and our current leadership's willingness to ignore it, one can only expect future problems.

This political negligence serving the White House's constituents can be found if one "follows the money." Bush's proclamation that illegal immigrants are doing work Americans are not willing to do is laughable. America did just fine before this tsunami of immigrants, did it not? What has riled and straitjacketed local and state government to no end is that it is this same federal government that comes down with all its powers to punish those who follow existing laws.

I recently watched a Texas businessman on CNN desperately explain that he had no illegal immigrants to harvest his crops. This farmer stated that it was because of a local construction boom and the illegals went off to higher-paying jobs in the city.

This farmer's worry illustrates the problem. Immigration is all about money and always has been. Farm labor, like being a McDonald's hamburger flipper, has always been entry-level employment.

Will illegal immigrants do our entry-level work for the rest of their lives? That is an insulting notion. As soon as opportunity knocks as a result of all their hard work, they will move on to something better, like all of this nation's former immigrants. If allowed, illegal immigrants and/or their children will be future professionals and public leaders. Make no mistake about it.

Has anyone yet realized that many illegals themselves have businesses and are employing people. We are way past the stage where we can just say, "It's business hiring them."

And those here illegally are not just doing meanial jobs. They own businesses selling satellite TV systems, car lots, restaurants, restaurant chains, car repair facilities, stores, sign companies, printing companies.

Where do the silly notions come from that it is the darn employers and those here illegally can only be found in a field, washing dishes or making beds at hotel?

What would you do if your husband had a "friend" who is a totally dishonest pig in human clothing? I mean, this guy runs an illegal IT training "institute" where he trains people who aren't even educated, creates fake resumes, and then since he is a project manager, he goes from project to project firing other well qualified workers who have done nothing wrong, to give the job to his own students who then bribe him $2 per hour for the duration of the project. THat doesn't sound like big money but it is, he makes like $40K per month doing this and those guys he places in his projects don't even know their own work!

I don't know what company he is working for, but he is always bragging about getting rid of "goras" (Americans) and ripping off our country. I think he is an H1b holder, and I know for a fact all of his students are.

I am fed up with him. What can I do?

So, I mailed my first care package to my husband about 3 weeks ago. The USPS said that the Military Mail Service would have the package in about 2 days. My husband is on a sub, so I was told that the package would be taken to his current port (if in) or his next port (if underway).

He still hasn't received it yet.

Anyone know how long it take on average to deliver the packages?

Are you old enough to remember what happened on dec 7th 1947?

If you were alive then, do you remember where you were when you heard?

What were your thoughts and feelings at that time?

How do you feel NOW?!?

If it happened today, would Bush's critics in Washington, and the media, drag their feet on entering WWII?

Was WWII a righteous war?

in Iraq that the worldwide price of copper went down. Looting went on right under the noses of soldiers who had no orders to stop it. Looking back was it a big mistake to just stand back and allow so much looting to go on?
