The oil billionaire was found dead in his bathtube in Surrey, England.Roman Abramovich Russian steel tycoon was rumored to have been arrested/We are so screwed: Army says no to more tanks, but Congress insists. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have set aside almost half a billion dollars over the past two years to spend on upgrading the military’s Abrams tank, a move which senior Army officials are not very excited about. Army officials reportedly said “No thanks,” to the government‘s choice to spend $436 million on the tanks,  important because the Abrams production line helps businesses and creates good paying jobs in areas that have political significance. Ohio is home to the country’s only tank plant and it’s probably no coincidence that state lawmakers are in favor of spending heavily on Abrams tanks. Rep. Jim Jordan, Sen. Rob Portman and Sen. Sherrod Brown were all in favor of investing in the tanks By Evan Bleier ABCyc/Tourette Syndrome was denied boarding a plane after he said bomb nyp/bossip Do White People Understand White Privilege? conversation is heated!-Apparently, being born with a measurable IQ and looks that range from passable, to beautiful is a privilege.

"Only about 10 percent of Muslims are fundamentalists, and only 1 percent of that 10 percent have a radical understanding of Islam." "Hey Jonny boy, pull up a chair right here between Bob and me and let's debate this thing," Bolling said. "You got the cojones?", "I was a liberal activist and a progressive before you were out of your Pampers," Beckel said. "You may get on a TV show and talk liberal politics.

The chimpanzees are usually contained by a moat and a high fence to keep them from running amok, AND to keep them under control. So it is also with the right-wingers. They are also permitted to run loose within a closely monitored zone where they are allowed to express their inferior creature perversions. But, they will NEVER do any damage beyond being offensive ybac/James Everett Dutschke, 41, Arrested in Connection to Ricin Letters Probe-Williamson County, Tennessee, are up in arms at the school district over the use of a textbook that classifies Hamas and Hezbollah as "political parties." The United States considers both extremist groups to be terror organizations. One passage from the "The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography" by James Rubenstein asks: “If a Palestinian suicide bomber kills several dozen Israeli teenagers in a Jerusalem restaurant, is that an act of terrorism or wartime retaliation against Israeli government policies and army actions?” The book is being used by high schoolers who are taking an elective college-level course on human geography. Rubenstein tells Fox News that the passage is meant to help students understand why terrorists attack, not justify violence against Israel-Isn't attacking civilians even in war against the Geneva Convention? This author may disagree with Israel's policies, but nothing justifies attacking civilians and this kind of lame reasoning doesn't belong in education-Lawrence Technological University So college kids need a textbook to 'explain' why people commit acts of violence? Do they also need a textbook to explain why people steal, cheat and lie too?-Terrorists attack because they are adherents of a demonic religion...and they are like cockroaches following the trail of bent Jihadis to do damage to decent people-Forsythe Law Firm, Memphis, TN Why hasn't the jerks that approved the propaganda books been fired?-seized the opportunity to make a light-hearted jab at his relations with the press during his presidncy.

Elected officials must serve a cause greater themselves. The political winds blow left and right, polls rise and fall, supporters come and go. But in the end, leaders are defined by the convictions they hold.

There's no defending how he filled his cabinet with GE, Goldman, Monsanto and the like. The unholy matrimony of government and big business is the root of all our problems-Ex CNN reporter Amber Lyon revealed that during her work for the channel she received orders to send false news and exclude some others which the US administration did not favor with the aim to create a public opinion in favor of launching an aggression on Iran and Syria. quoted by the Slovak main news website as saying that the mainstream US media outlets intentionally work to create a propaganda against Iran to garner public opinion's support for a military invasion against it, the scenario used before launching the war on Iraq is being prepared to be repeated where Iran and Syria are now being subject to constant 'demonization', stressing that the Channel receives money from the U.S. government and other countries' governments in exchange for news content-the proudest corporate welfare ankle grabber in America whining about corporate welfare!- burying of a lying leader's record with a lying version of history, believe Bush should be facing criminal prosecution instead.

Sadly, that cult is coming dangerously close to having complete control over the Republican Party and much of the political discourse in our country. GOP/NRA/Ayn Rand model, we should have let them break even more laws, since "there is nothing we can do!", and bad guys like those on Wall St. can be trusted to regulate themselves according to "private morality" unhindered by public conscience, corporations and the wealthy began using the Treasury as a private piggy bank to bankroll their Welfare for the Wealthy state, we were doomed.
