Hey no worries, there are buyers waiting in the wings and salivating at getting their hands on the last American auto makers. And they will make an offer you can't refuse: sell to a Chinese company or we dump the dollar.

What a comeback! Nintendo was almost written off during the Game Cube days. And unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo makes a tidy profit on every system they sell. While Sony and Nintendo battle it out for the 14 year old boy market Nintendo has swept up everyone else. Nintendo should have enough market share and cash to develop a better system and better games for the next generation.

Before I settled down I used to find earrings laying around but it was hardly news. Finding the odd earring or Roman coin from that era probably happens almost on a daily basis.

ImperiumMundi Sigh, some sort of gun control is the least thing to worry about. You probably thought it was fine and dandy when Bush didn't follow the constitution, google it, but now the new president can just follow along after Bush and it will only get worse. I get a bad feeling the the last act of Bush will be some sort of world currency announced next month and ran by the same clowns that dug the hole to start with. Yes, I was a harsh critic of Bush, and I think it was justified and I do believe all governments need to be constantly questioned and held accountable. We will see how Obama does but he may have a bit too much power thanks to the erosion of rights under Bush and it looks like his masonic following will shut down all criticisms. I'm taking a wait and see approach but you didn't say anything "when they came for your neighbor."

All I can say is, those that sat back while Bush destroyed the constitution and removed numerous freedoms should sit down again and keep quit.

Perhaps a good choice, I think the first thing Obama should do is sit on the dems that didn't support him and put his foot down on the house dems who are likely to try and pass every crazy pork barrel idea that crosses their minds.

The last two elections would not have stood up to any sort of democratic scrutiny and judging by all the problems with the machines this time it would not either.
It is a complete joke that the most technological advanced country in the world cannot do a simple thing like run an election.
And, I believe, the tyranny of the "ballot box" should not oppress a minority. This is in reference to California prop 8, Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Voters should not have the ability to take rights away from a minority.

If the Catholic church is proposing screening people based on sexual orientation; i.e. homosexual, they will probably violate employment discrimination laws in darn near every country they operate in. The Vatican had better its members to pony up a bunch of money to pay for the discrimination law suits.

How clever is the American army? I think it is possible that they want out as well and the attack on Syria was done to provoke Iraq into NOT signing the SOFA so they could get the heck out.

lol.....before all you "double standards" nuts get too far ahead of yourselves; there was one incident in September of an Obama effigy being hung at a university in Oregon and just last week some guy in Ohio hung an effigy of Obama in his Halloween themed yard and here is the link to that story, too bad youtube removed the video:

Abkhazia and South Ossetia have separated and they are not going back. Why would they want to rejoin a country that according to the BBC committed war crimes against them? But I suppose if some kind of effort was made and Saakashvili was arrested and sent to a war crimes trial Abkhazia and South Ossetia may reconsider.

Well, judging by all the problems with vote flipping that are showing up already, McCain may be correct.

Forget the polls, the best way to judge how well a candidate is doing is by how much money they are bringing in. I've always thought that campaign finance reform was a stupid idea; let people give as much money to whoever they want. Anyway, judging by the number of people that are supporting Obama with their wallets, it looks like a landslide.

"The troops arrived before dawn, during the Jewish Sabbath, a time apparently chosen to prevent protests by hundreds of Israeli settlers who live in several heavily fortified enclaves in the city."
Interesting.
