Go ahead and serve your punch. With so many people drinking the socialist kool-aid I doubt anyone will notice.

I dont understand what this guys problem is. We already elected someone to attack American interests. If he plays his cards right, he might get a cabinet position.

At least they're building their own towers instead of buying up our landmarks in the US. For an islamic country, the UAE is remarkably cosmopolitan, but they're making a common mistake among people who get too rich, too fast. They're not preparing for the time when that wealth stops, and Dubai's recent financial collapse is their first warning.

"Gonzalez has been assigned eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay on what she's learned from the experience"

She's learned that the people who should be responsible for her safety have no common sense. Lets face it, while many of them are undoubtedly good people, school safety officers are not the top of the law enforcement food chain. They're training and expertise is on par with mall cops and toll booth attendants.

What really bothers me is that NYPD actually took her away in hand cuffs instead of giving the safety officers a reality check.

"I never touched her, I never touched any woman," he told WLS-TV late Thursday. "That's not my style, that's not me."

So he's gay, too?

Besides, it was in 2005, so Bush was still in office. It's Bush's fault!!!

"US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a Congress committee that Iran faces the prospect of "severe sanctions" applied by the UN Security Council and by individual countries over its atomic activities"

ooooo - Sanctions! We really have them on the ropes now. I only pray that Iran falls into line before a sternly worded email is necessary.

This is typical beaurocratic thuggery. He built his home on his own land, no residents are complaining, and only the beaurocrats are upset. One question that the article doesnt address is what planning legislation would have prohibited him from building it. The house/castle doesnt appear to be anything exceptional that would be in violation of planning ordinances..

I feel conflicted having a French politician as a role model, but this guy is absolutely correct. France, in general, has actually been the voice of sanity in recent months. It's a sad state of affairs when the French show more backbone than we do.

Although I support our troops and the job they do, I dont understand how people in Washington expect us to succeed where Russia failed. There's no central opposition leadership, there's no clear mission. Afghanistan is segregated into tribal areas which makes a collective victory almost impossible. It's a game of whack-a-mole.

Oh gosh, Sarcasm! That is soooo clever!!!
