I have heard much lately about American women. From Europeans, movie stars etc. These opinions primary belittle and degrade our women. I think that it is simply jealously once again rearing its ugly head. I love American women. I think they are the sexiest women in the world. Europeans say that American women aren't feminine, I disagree, of course some aren't, but many are. And American women can be counted on. They load the guns for their men while the enemy attacks, they die in the battle if necessary. Not just have sex with the Victor to insure their own survival. Compare or women of the Revolution to the women of WW2 France. Exactly, there is no comparison. Our people came from NOBLE stock. Contrary to popular belief, the first settlers of America weren't the dregs of Europe, they stayed. I say this to American young men, don't be fooled by the hype the love of your life might live one block from you. Don't go looking overseas to find that perfect woman. Too many people, who I personally know were disappointed for having done that.I have heard much lately about American women. From Europeans, movie stars etc. These... more

Sarah Palin has been the Left Wings rallying cry since the day that the LOSER John McCain picked her. She single handed resurrected his hopeless attempt at a Presidential run in 2008. Now, the Left wing continues down the slippery slope of Demonizing the nice lady. Because she stands for everything they hate, to sum it up in one word AMERICA. Palin is the epitome of the American dream story. From humble beginnings comes Alaska's youngest, most successful Governor, not to mention the first Female Governor of Americas largest State. This alone is much to say about an average house wife from a small American town, But add to that, Ran For Vice President, and she buries and Democrat going. The Democrats jealousy will be their undoing however. Sarah Palin wont take this disrespect for long, the sheeple that call themselves progressives nowadays to avoid the stigma associated with the LIBERAL brand. Are going to be livid when Palin runs for President in 2012. I am pretty sure she would just gone home and taken care of Alaskas business, not running in 2012. But the constant attacks on her character by our so called Media, the Left wing bloggers (who BTW couldn't even feed themselves with out Government help) have been essentially a gauntlet thrown down in front of the nice lady. And if she runs in 2012 I wont be the only person to support her. 1/2 of America will be there also, giving all, money, support etc. It will take more than some Homely washed up actress this time to keep her out of the White House!!!Sarah Palin has been the Left Wings rallying cry since the day that the LOSER John... more

DETROIT – A movie about a "maverick," his journey "from Wall Street to Main Street," his "desperate search" for a "monkey" and a "game-changing" revelation about his "carbon footprint" probably would make the nation's word-watchers physically ill.
Especially if it were the "winner of five nominations."
All those words and phrases are on Lake Superior State University's annual List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness. The 34th version of the list was released Tuesday, which means, "It's that time of year again."
The school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula selected 15 entries from about 5,000 nominations.
Despite the year's economic meltdown (which itself wasn't banished but don't rule it out for next year), the most entries came from the environmental category — for "green" or "going green."
"If I see one more corporation declare itself 'green,' I'm going to start burning tires in my backyard," wrote Ed Hardiman of Bristow, Va., in his submission. Nominators also had their fill of "carbon footprint" — the amount of greenhouse gases an individual's lifestyle produces.
The list wasn't overrun with politics despite the national election — no "change," for instance — but one simply couldn't escape the critics' wrath.DETROIT – A movie about a "maverick," his journey "from Wall... more

And President Barack Obama did tonight speak out, and he backs Israel!!! He is against Hamas. He said nothing about Isreal, "going too far". He understands the situation. Many people who post on this site have blindly backed Hamas, siding against Israel due to ideological differences. These few always take the wrong side of things, makes them feel good , it makes them feel like their bucking the system, fighting the powers that be, and all that stupid sheat they hold so dear . But this is not the time to turn on Israel or the USA. They should be ashamed of themselves. Congratulations Mr. President you are the better man. Your supporters need to wake to fup up.And President Barack Obama did tonight speak out, and he backs Israel!!! He is against... more

NEW YORK – Caroline Kennedy emerged from weeks of near-silence Friday about her bid for a Senate seat by saying that after a lifetime of closely guarded privacy, she felt compelled to answer the call to service issued by her father a generation ago.
She said two events shaped her decision to ask Gov. David Paterson 11 days ago to consider her for the position if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is confirmed as secretary of state: the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and her work for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
In her first sit-down interview since she emerged as a Senate hopeful, the 51-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy cited her father's legacy in explaining her decision to seek to serve alongside her uncle Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy.
"Many people remember that spirit that President Kennedy summoned forth," she said. "Many people look to me as somebody who embodies that sense of possibility. I'm not saying that I am anything like him, I'm just saying there's a spirit that I think I've grown up with that is something that means a tremendous amount to me."
She also credited her mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, with giving her the courage to seek the job.
"I think my mother ... made it clear that you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and you have to have the courage to do the unexpected," she said.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Caroline Kennedy's bid to get appointed to the Senate and extend the Camelot dynasty has run into the bare-knuckle world of New York politics, where a backlash appears to be building against her.
Some politics-watchers have accused the 51-year-old daughter of President John F. Kennedy of a series of missteps last week doing an upstate tour, when she evaded questions and in one case was hustled away by an aide after meeting with reporters for all of 30 seconds.
At the same time, some New York politicians, privately and publicly, have complained that Kennedy is jumping the line ahead of political figures with far more experience and that she has become the presumed front-runner by virtue of her name alone.
As the process has dragged on, political adversaries have had all the more opportunities to undercut her candidacy through various attacks, sniping and newspaper leaks.
On Wednesday, Gov. David Paterson said the bickering sounded "more like the prelude to a high school program than the choosing of a U.S. senator."
"She's a pinata now," said Maurice Carroll, longtime New York political reporter and now pollster for Quinnipiac University. "Until Paterson says `yes' or `no,' she's going to be a pinata for everybody to take a whack at, using anonymous sources."ALBANY, N.Y. – Caroline Kennedy's bid to get appointed to the Senate and... more

WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush on Wednesday revoked a pardon he had granted only a day before — a step unheard of in recent memory — after learning in news reports of political contributions to Republicans by the man's father and other information.
Bush pardoned 19 people on Tuesday, including Isaac Robert Toussie of Brooklyn, N.Y., who had been convicted of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and of mail fraud. On Wednesday, the White House issued an extraordinary statement saying the president was reversing his decision in Toussie's case.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said the new decision was "based on information that has subsequently come to light," including on the extent and nature of Toussie's prior criminal offenses. She also said that neither the White House counsel's office nor the president had been aware of a political contribution by Toussie's father that "might create an appearance of impropriety."
"Given that, this was the prudent thing to do," she said.
The new information came to the White House's attention from news reports, Perino said.
Man I have heard some hard luck stories but this poor guy,hahaha probably wants to Kill his dad right about now.
A story in the New York Daily News said Toussie's father, Robert, donated $28,500 to the national Republican Party in April. It came just months before Toussie's pardon petition, the newspaper said.WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush on Wednesday revoked a pardon he had... more

Probably gonna beat this one. BUT IT CAN'T HURT TO TRY!!!
Unfortunately, not that happy.
There's a reason you've barely heard about it. It's because the whole thing sounds like a pile of crap. Cheney (and Alberto Gonzales) are named in an indictment alleging them responsible for abuse of prisoners in a private detention center. No, not Abu Graib. The prisons are in Texas. And the only reason Cheney's named is because he had a financial stake in the company that owns the prisons. Or something. The whole thing is really hard to figure out and as of press time, we stopped trying.
To make the whole thing even shadier, yesterday the prosecutor didn't even show up to court.
Okay, you got a Dick Cheney indictment through a grand jury and then you don't show up? It's Dick Cheney! We get that it's probably a trumped up indictment and the chances of a win are slim, but come on! Put him on the stand and try that "A Few Good Men" thing where you get him so angry that he starts confessing to shit. The first thing they should teach you in Law School is if you indict Dick Cheney, you can't puss out.
For future reference, if there are any other psycho lawyers who want to indict Cheney on bullcrap, we put together this little guide to make sure you don't blow it. It's after the jump:

President-elect Barack Obama's team had "no inappropriate discussions" with Illinois governor Rod
Blagojevich, according to an internal review.
But his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel talked to Mr Blagojevich about who should fill Mr Obama's senate seat.
Mr Blagojevich has been accused of attempting to "sell" the seat, but says he is not guilty of any wrongdoing.
The review reveals that the US Attorney leading the Blagojevich probe spoke to Mr Obama as part of his investigation.
Patrick Fitzgerald also questioned Mr Emanuel, and Obama aide Valerie Jarrett last week about their contacts with Mr Blagojevich.
No quid pro quo
The internal review was conducted by Greg Craig, a legal adviser to Mr Obama.
He concluded that Mr Emanuel had indeed discussed potential successors to Mr Obama with Mr Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff John Harris, but that at no time had anyone from the Blagojevich camp made "any effort to extract a personal benefit for the governor" from him, or from anyone else on the Obama team.

ISTANBUL (AFP) – The maker of the shoes that an Iraqi journalist hurled at US President George W. Bush has had to take on 100 extra staff to cope with a surge in demand for his footwear, he said on Monday.
"Between the day of the incident and 1:00 pm today we have received orders totalling 370,000 pairs", Istanbul-based Serkan Turk, head of sales at Baydan Shoes, told AFP.
Normally the firm sold only 15,000 pairs a year of the model that Muntazer al-Zaidi threw at the US president at a press conference in Baghdad on December 14 to become an instant hero across the Arab world, he said.
Turk said orders had initially flooded in from Iraq, followed by other Middle East countries and finally from the rest of the world, including for 19,000 pairs from the United States.
Formerly prosaically dubbed Model 271, the black polyurethane-soled shoes have been renamed Bush Shoes, he said.
Turk insisted the company was not profiting from the soaring demand to up the factory price from the 27 dollars (19.30 euros) it had been charging, while adding that it was "delighted from all points of view" at its unexpected success.
Throwing shoes is considered a grave insult in the Arab world, but Turk indicated that they would probably not have done Bush much harm had they hit him.
"They look heavier than they are," he said. "They only weigh 300 grammes (10 ounces)."
.........................................................................................................................................................
Last night after playing on Current for a while I wrote President BUSH a letter, in this letter I ask him to forgive his would be attacker and to call the President of Iraq and see if he would pardon the man which tossed the shoes at him. I'll guess we will see if he listened. I think President Bush should be the bigger man , show some compassion, and truly get some Christmas spirit. I mean a pair of Hush Puppies is hardly a I.E.D. What do my esteemed comrads on Current think?ISTANBUL (AFP) – The maker of the shoes that an Iraqi journalist hurled at US... more

Not perhaps since John F. Kennedy's own beach photos has a nation been so stirred to seek out revealing images of the incoming commander-in-chief. Searches are soaring for "obama pictures" and, in a realm normally reserved for prepubescent idols, "obama shirtless." Yes, the man so far designated to stimulate the economy, restore American dignity abroad, and save the planet from global warming, has inspired lookups more befitting a, dare we say, heartthrob.
Reassuringly, other recent Obama searches do dwell on the more relevant issues at hand ("obama inauguration," "obama cabinet picks"). The photo exposé, however, once again underscores the celebritization of Obama (as a John McCain ad once famously pointed out).
The latest act of online voyeurism comes from a confluence of three recent pictorial events: Two include Barack Obama's return to Time magazine's cover as Man of the Year and the release of never-before-seen college photos, in which the future No. 44 posed in a Panama hat, leather jacket, and occasionally with a cigarette for a hopeful photographer's portfolio. That momentous puff induced a teacup-sized tempest as people zeroed in on the "obama smoking" pic.
The third event is his holiday trip back to his home state. The president-elect did what any red-blooded American would do in a tropical isle: He stripped down to his swimming trunks and dove right into the winter surf. The ABC video showed a fleeting rear view of Obama descending into the water, but that was enough to trigger the buzz for "obama hawaii" (+130%), "obama vacation" (+113%) and, of course, the aforementioned shirtless queries.
To those who would defend the dignity of the Oval Office and all its inhabitants, will their brains eventually soften with four years of headlines like the New York Post's "O, My Bod!" (with yet another name twist in paragraph one: "Just call him 'Ab'-bama.'"). Forget tabloids—the Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported regular citizens turning into paparazzi packs. Meanwhile, a true paparazzo snuck a shot, and the hosting site was promptly overwhelmed by political oglers.
His photogenic vim and vigor have long evoked comparisons to the charismatic Kennedy, who similarly inspired a brouhaha over his beach photo. Former Vanity Fair magazine editor Tina Brown, in a CNN interview about Obama's enormous star power, claimed that Obama is aware of his appeal and "he deliberately dials back on his charisma" to spare the masses. (Brown by the way once ventured on Greek God territory and called Obama "Apollonian.")Not perhaps since John F. Kennedy's own beach photos has a nation been so stirred... more

What would you do with approximately 250 bottles of nail polish? Why, painstakingly paint a giant colorful quilt on your car, of course.
According to The Maryland Gazette that's just what Urbana resident Jill Bell did. After finding a dent in her car's hood, she cleverly painted a Band-Aid over the unsightly bump. Chuckle. She liked the idea so much, she decided to paint her entire car with nail polish! I'm guessing (and hoping) she didn't use one of those $30-a-pop lacquers from Chanel's Moscow Collection.
Nope. What she did use? The help of others. "Lots of ladies in my church donated nail polish, and lots of ladies at Weight Watchers, too," she told the newspaper. Bell estimates that 100-250 bottles of nail polish were used to accomplish this feat — a feat that took 13 months to finish. Whoa.
