I agree with Triumvere, let's start doing airdrops as there is really no other way to get supplies in reliably. Bypass the criminal Junta and do the best we can to get food and supplies into the countryside. (Arms might not be a bad idea either)

I guess that's service on discount carriers. Pretty funny if you ask me but I think the captain may be parking it in the lav from now on.

I'm sure Ma will figure it out. He may be for better relations with mainland China but I'm sure he's not for reunification under the PRC.

I'm with sailwind on the fact that the girl withdrew the charge and the Japanese police kicked him loose. That said a court-matial should put the issue to rest. I don't believe he is guilty of rape just gross misjudgement. He should be busted down a rank and given some…

Ah yes, Obama the working man's friend. Gonna help redistribute all that wealth form the wealthy ($70,000 a year and up) to the needy (i.e. welfare mothers who will be supporting him in droves) Sorry, I'll be voting for McCain as I don't think the government needs anymore from my…

And one more thing, the high prices are the fault of speculators who have fled the stock markets to commodaties. Someone needs to reign this in as there is no fundamental reason for the high prices, no shortage etc. Just a bunch of traders getting rich while soaking the whole…
