People die all the time, and Show business people are not better than the rest of us. It is spooky though that it took such a long time for someone to find her. It seems she has more friends now than when she was alive.

Fwiw, I find "double" sounds creepy. Double what? Double heads? Double legs? Why do people think that some politically correct newspeak like this would fix any problem that there is?
"Half" is simply a description. My father father half-Polish, which makes me 1/4 Polish.... and not "one and a quarter" or such nonsense. Sheesh!

Victim mentality. If you look for discrimination, you´ll always find it.

This bean counting is ridiculous. How do they define "fighter"? Every madrassa student is a potential Taliban fighter.
What the Taliban has is a complete ideology which calls for eternal war on the kuffars and the kuffar lifestyle (that is us, and our lifestyle), and does not accept defeat, never ever.
And we have decided that we must not take on this ideological challenge. So however more troops Obamas sends into this mess, the Taliban comes out on top.

No, it is a factual statement. Obama not only inherited it, he campaigned on expanding that, and is doing exactly that now, by sending 17,000 more troops (and more to follow) on a wild goose chase in Afghanistan.
It is OBAMAS WAR, and see how splendidly it is going.

Welcome to Obamas war!
But don´t forget, the war spending is now a "stimulus" and therefore a good thing.
Never say that paradigms don´t change...

It is a stroke of genius! Every democrat pork and pet entitlement program is not considered a "stimulus" and therefore a great thing! Doesn´t matter that the money isn´t there; they just print it up more govnmt bonds and ask the Chinese to buy them.
I wonder why the Reps couldn´t think of it. Bush could have sold the entire Iraq war as a massive "stimulus bill" which would lead to wealth.
The pure simplicity and audacity of this scam is astonishing.

Indeed! So how do you feel about being accused of something by cellphone message and then dragged out of a bus and into the police station?!
I find this story scary as hell. If this sort of thing escalates, we need male-only trains where we are safe from such stealth accusations.

Umm.... hold on a second here. I thought government spending is a "stimulus" and the way to prosperity? Isn´t that what we are being told on the trillion bucks now spending announced by Lord Obama?

The fact is that if a government could borrow and spent a country to prosperity, then Venezuela and Greece (and even the ex Soviet Union, North Korea, and Cuba) would be wonderful success stories, and Hong Kong and Singapore would be basket cases.
Obamas wonderful prose does not change reality.

Ah, Obamas war is going splendidly.
He is going to send 50,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan on a wild goose chase... 50,000 more targets for the jihadists.

Maybe he really did that, and maybe not. I find it scary that now you can be arrested on the basis of a cellphone message. Be careful on the trains, folks. You don´t know what the person next to you is texting.

I am all for courage and doing the right thing, but chasing a knife-wielding guy who wanted to rob a conbini? That is plain stupid.
