Pitt and Jolie have a 70 million dollar estate in France. The actor visited Congress to pontificate about rebuilding efforts in New Orleans, and the importance of 'sustainability'.

Investors just don't have confidence. And there is little about this administration and the Dem majority that would inspire any.
You have to laugh, and maybe weep a little after, to read about tax cheat Tim Geithner, Obama's Treasury Secretary, "boldly testifying" last Tuesday before fellow Democrat (and tax cheat...) Rep. Charlie Rangel’s Ways and Means Committee, promising that the Obama administration intends to propose “a series of legislative and enforcement measures to reduce...tax evasion and avoidance.”

What kind of religion fears, to a degree that can make some of its followers homicidal, the game of cricket?
Then again, how on earth could such a cult become the professed belief of over a billion people, other than by the very sort of mindless, apparently pathological tendency to extreme violence we read of in this article:
Up to 12 men attacked the convoy of officials, coaches and players , firing automatic weapons, grenades and a rocket launcher as the vehicles approached the cricket ground in the city of Lahore. The attackers fled without a trace.
The new footage, captured by closed-circuit cameras, shows two suspects wearing rucksacks and ambling down the road, apparently untroubled after the carnage took place. They then jump on motorbikes and speed off.

Me, I got out back in early 2007. I kept reading that Bush was henceforth "a lame duck."

Tens of millions of Americans vote every day.
It's called investing. Check the stock market if you don't believe me.
Americans don't like the direction Obama is taking the country.

Since the whole issue of life after death, with imagined possibilities ranging from an existential terminus to the traditional notions of afterlife or even rebirth, can basically be thought of as a spectrum of belief, I'd have to say it's not a yes or no answer so much as it the degree of certainty expressed that most interests me.
Agnostics admit of their doubts and uncertainty. Holy rollers too often seem to work out theirs on other people. But I find the absolutism of atheists to be the intellectually laziest, solipsistic, and most tiresome of all.
At least with holy rollers you get private or even public admission of their failure to live up to or practice what they preach.

Let's all hope as many of the anti-liberation crowd here as possible get to one day meet a free Iraqi and his family, perhaps while transiting through O'Hare or LAX or Narita or Heathrow.

It's depressing to go to some of the celebrity sites out there and see people asking, apparently in all seriousness, what the singer Rihanna did to "bring on the assault". This, mind you, in the same week that the media was sputtering in faux indignation over a cartoon in the NY Post they unaccountably insisted was advocating the assassination of the president.

This must be the new administration's code speak for "all 12 million illegal aliens must also have coverage."
You "folks" can pay your deadbeat neighbor's mortgage and provide health care for foreign nationals.

"Transpired"?

It is astounding how woefully ignorant people are about Mohammedism, even after 12,000 plus documented cases of terror done in Allah's name worldwide - on every continent - since Sept. 11, 2001 alone.
Islam is not a race.

You might want to google the source for
“On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”
“Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”
"There will be [at some future time] people from my Ummah who will seek to make lawful fornication, the wearing of silk, wine drinking and the use of musical instruments [ma'aazif]. Some people will stay at the side of the mountain and when their shepherd comes in the evening to ask them for his needs, they will say : 'Return to us tomorrow'. Then Allaah will destroy them during the night by causing the mountain to fall upon them, while He changes others into apes and swine. They will remain in such a state until the Day of Resurrection."

Unfortunately for people of Peshawar the Taliban are here simply emulating the founder of Pakistan's state religion.

Rush Limbaugh's reply to President Obama:
“If these guys are so impressed with themselves, and if they are so sure of their correctness, why doesn’t President Obama come on my show?
. . . I am offering President Obama to come on this program — without staffers, without a TelePrompTer, without note cards — to debate me on the issues. . . .
Just come on this program. Let’s have a little debate. You tell me how wrong I am and you can convince the rest of the Americans that don’t agree with you how wrong we all are. You’re a smart guy, Mr. President. You don’t need these hacks to front for you.”
