I have been watching a few videos of his speeches and he seems to make a less than spectacular exit- most notably in China- with the multiple attempts at opening locked doors followed by standing still for a few seconds. And most recently in Australia at the 'Opec' [sic] Summit- where he attempted to exit stage right- but alas there was no exit- it was blocked by a 20 foot high floor-to-ceiling posterboard.
Is difficulty with doors and other human-sized exit apertures a common symptom of dyslexia?

That's the new mandate she'll propose in her quest for the Presidency.
Whether you can afford it or not....YOU WILL PAY!

Rules in most states require all drivers to purchase auto insurance...
Clinton's plan would require EVERYONE to purchase HEALTH Insurance.

Is this a viable idea or the rantings of a fool?

When successful and powerful republicans like Warren Buffet and Alan Greenspan speak out against the policies of the Bush admininistration, there are still "patriots" who refuse to admit they are wrong.

Isn't it primitive to believe that loyalty to the tribe is more important than doing the right thing?

Why are some people so determined we should leave Iraq without winning?

Would it not be better to put our full support behind our militay to achieve a victory? history has proven that victory is the best way to end a war.

Well, tell us something we don't know Alan!

But really- we all knew it was about oil- but why in particular?

Was it solely for contractor short-term profit?

Or was it a means of securing the greenback (given its valuation not based on gold reserves but linked to oil) against China's 'economic nuclear option' given China has massive reserves of US Treasury Bonds which it could, hypothetically, flood the market and massively & catastrophically deflate the value of the US dollar?

Now that former Fed Treas. Greenspan has written in his memoirs that it was politically inconvenient to truthfully admit Iraq war was about oil- and given he is fairly politically neutral- are there any more doubters?

Or perhaps those who truly believe the war is about imposing democracy are deluding themselves with a myth more comforting and less confronting than an immoral fact?

Was the Iraq oil war really about the stabilisation of the greenback (a currency based not on gold reserves but oil reserves/futures since the early 1970's)?

The act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day. The United States Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
Ask your children what they learned about the Constitution today…If the Constitution was not given priority in your school today, the teachers and administrators are in violation of federal law and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

Would you agree that this is not something to be turned into a partisan issue? Would you agree to work together for the safety of our people? How long must Democrats and Republicans bicker before we can get something accomplished?

What combination of idealogy in politics and principle would you say makes your perfect poitician? What would your ideal politician do or not do that would seperate them from the rest of the very shallow pool of choices we have to fish from? Remember, in more than 1 year we may be choosing someone with your ideals for our next leader.

1) Apparently, the e-voting system was rejected in France because it is very easy to hack into it.
2) Now it will be used in Gujarat elections to defeat Modi government. (Even with voter’s photographs, the results can still be modified)
3) This may be the reason behind a certain anti-Hindu party’s surprise win in the last elections!

The "so called scientists" have determined that eating less meat will reduce global warming. How much more insane can they really get. They now claim that eating less meat will cause the animal population to decrease and therefore reduce the methane gas output from the animals. What's next killing our first born? Oh that's right you liberals are already doing enough of that through abortion. Hey maybe you can apply that toward your carbon credits. LOL!

By Francois Murphy

PARIS (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday his country must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program, but he did not believe any such action was imminent.
Seeking to ratchet up the pressure on Iran, Kouchner also told RTL radio and LCI television that the world's major powers should use further sanctions to show they were serious about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic.
"We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding: "The worst, sir, is war."
Asked about the preparations, he said it was normal to prepare for various eventualities.
"We are preparing ourselves by trying to put together plans that are the chiefs of staff's prerogative (but) that is not about to happen tomorrow," he added.

It appears to me in politics and government that there are many here who don't realy have anything to say or they can't arguew with the question or statement. Why then do they give spelling lessons or is it maybe they just want the 2 points so they can move to the next level.

I may be a bit new here but i can at least give an answer with out grammer lesson. I imagine those that have the best grammer most likely can't spell either they just use spell check.

Is this a ture or false obsevation/opinion
