When the average street dealer gets arrested for drugs all his belongings immediately get confiscated; his car, his boat and his Rolex watches. They figure he bought this with the money gained through the sale of drugs Nobody questions Madoff 's belongings. He is free on ten million dollars bail paid with the money he gained by fucking his rich friends. Gotta laugh at the politics involved here.

As he flung the shoes, Mr Zaidi shouted: "This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog." A hero through his shoes! "In terms of the agreement this is a major achievement," spoke an unruffled President Bush knowing how important freedom of expression is in a free society. Espousing the ideals of social freedom, President Bush supported the act as an indication that freedom was beginning in Iraq. Although he will be view in history with great perplexity on a number of fronts, especially economic, he will forever be associated with this heroic act on the part of many of the Iraqi people. The Iraqi government called on his employers to apologize for the act, apparently planned for months. Then, the Al-Baghdadia news agency responded with a statement demanding al-Zaidi's release "in line with the democracy and freedom of expression that the American authorities promised the Iraqi people." They still have to learn that freedom of expression means non-v

"The most important thing to criticize about Obama's career is invisible, because the media doesn't talk about it. By that I mean the growing debt Obama owes to the very worst element in Illinois politics, Mayor Richard Daley's political machine." Read: Obama's corrupt Illinois alliance

Secrecy has nothing to do with the national security and everything to do with private interests and those who lie, steal, cheat, murder, rape, pillage the public by using executive privilege. Aristotle and every major political philosopher since has warned against secrecy in office. It indicates the presence of abusive self interest which is tyranny. The president is required to turn over his records upon leaving office for the public record but Obama intends to assist Bush and Cheney in continuing their secrecy. The president-elect’s Web site promises he will reverse Executive Order 13233, nullifying the timely, lawful release of presidential records.

I believe that strong leadership requests information, makes decisive decisions and bears the responsibility. The level of knowledge required to be decisive in the office of the President of the United States was much greater than the present administration possessed and its lack of wisdom crippled the financial system of this nation; something the people trusted it was well poised to strengthen. What system can Obama enhance with popular words, high ideals, charismatic speeches, and a plentiful lack of hard earned leadership and experience while Biden and Clinton are calling the shots? This looks like a repeat performance.

AIM Column | September 29, 2008 Many commentators, Schiff said, are telling people that if the bailout doesn’t go forward, there will be an economic crisis. While many of the talking heads and pundits on TV have been providing calming words of reassurance about proposed federal intervention in the financial system, analyst Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital has been accurately warning for years about a financial meltdown and says that the worst, if Congress eventually passes the “bailout” bill, is yet to come. Asked for comment on current media coverage of the financial meltdown, he told Accuracy in Media, “Absent when they have me on, it’s pretty bad.” Many commentators, Schiff said, are telling people that if the bailout doesn’t go forward, there will be an economic crisis. However, “if we do it, there will be a bigger crisis,” he predicts. “The politicians want to make believe we can avoid paying the piper if we pass these bailouts,” he said. “It’s just not t

May 15, 2008 In a shocking incident of vigilante justice, a mob in Karachi on Wednesday burnt three bandits alive near the Timber Market, venting their anger and disgust over the rising crimes. The gory incident took place when four robbers barged into Akbar Soomro’s apartment on the third floor in the Somiya Mukarram Palace, situated near the Timber Market. The robbers barged into his house at around 1:30 pm and held the children hostage at gunpoint. They cut the telephone line and electricity wires and locked the house from inside and started misbehaving with the women. The bandits looted cash and jewellery. When they were about to flee, the door bell rang. When the bandits opened the door, they found Akbar, the head of the family. They shot and injured him and started fleeing. Akbar, a seaman by profession, chased the bandits and made a hue and cry. The passers-by and residents of the area caught the three bandits and started beating them, while the fourth escaped. They immedi

This is and awesome article by David Brant that may be found on Ground Report , I would highly recommend reading his material. Right on, David! W ith oil prices flowing relentlessly upward--at least for the time being--and gasoline prices naturally, inevitably following suit, it should be clear to all educated adults, reglardless of whehter or not they are economists or day-traders, why these prices are going up. We are all taught in school, well before our college-age years, of the law of supply and demand. Assuming that demand remains constant, when supply goes down, prices go up; when supply goes up, prices go down. With two very, very heavily populated nations called China and India increasing their demand for energy and, hence, oil at a ruthlessly fast rate as they move their societies into the prosperous capitalistic model of doing business and become technologically savvy, oil supplies and the prospecting for places from which to get new supplies are having great amounts o

Mr. Bush said: "I don't know what their thinking was, but I'm telling you what I think it was, I think it was a provocative act." The US president was speaking in the White House Rose Garden on the first anniversary of the Iraq troop surge, hours before leaving for a week-long Middle East trip. i don't know what their thinking was this is a common loaded rhetorical statement which communicates disinterest in the other person or party ... it shows a closed mind and a hardened spirit but I'm telling you what I think it was I think it was a provocative act with this our president has stated to the world what he wishes to think and believe and what he wishes us to think and believe in other words get ready for war echoes of the bay of tonkin also: What is this Iran provocation BS?
