There is no corruption or crime of any kind. As long as we have a police force to whom these crimes are reported, crime doesn't exist.

You're so wrong about everything. The Republicant short answer is: America Love It Or Leave It. And, by the Almighty, don't EVER criticize it, you goddamn hippies. And get off my grass.

That's right. Medical bills on credit cards cannot be charged off in bankruptcy. See I think they saw that when the economy went south all those cards they were passing out like coupons were going to get maxed and trashed. So the growth industry is bill collecting.

And now, thanks to the latest bill shoved through on behalf of MNBA and their ilk, she can bankrupt and STILL be liable for the frikkin' bills.

Clineschickelgruber, I don't know why you Darwin-loving liberals whinge on about the lack of health care for undeserving poor people when this is Darwinism at its finest.

If you don't agree with this, you are hypocrites to your own Theory of "Evolution."

Thousands of Shi'ites protested against the U.S. presence in Iraq, heeding orders from anti-U.S. cleric Moqtada al-Sadr for a peaceful show of force on the first Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Crowds of people waved photos of the reclusive cleric, dancing and shouting, following Friday prayers in Sadr City, a Shi'ite stronghold in northeastern Baghdad.

Several men burned a red, white and blue flag as they pledged support for the reclusive Sadr.

In the southern holy city of Najaf, several hundred protesters turned out for a parallel protest. "No, no to occupation!" read one banner.

The cleric, who is believed to be holed up in the Iranian city of Qom, has asked the bulk of his followers to dedicate themselves to helping poor Shi'ites and countering western influence in Iraq. He also ordered Friday's protests.

Hawaii Church Looks at Obama and McCain

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:12:47 GMT

clipped by: Kelika
clipper's remarks: The National Council of Churches urges churches to look at politicians, government policies and civic leaders through a wider lens and to ask how they measure up to biblical teaching about peace, justice, protection of the weak and the poor, and stewardship of Creation.

A Kailua church will use the National Council of Churches' "Christian Principles in an Election Year" for an eight-week course of study that will bring Scripture to bear on speeches and platforms of presidential contenders Barack Obama and John McCain."

Clip Source: starbulletin.com

"We'll be doing what churches know how to do: ask faith questions about real life," Summers said.

Among the 10 "Christian principles" in the National Council of Churches' guide to listening to politicians are:

» "God created us for each other, and thus our security depends on the well-being of our global neighbors." Translation: Shape foreign policy based on cooperation.

» "Those who follow Christ are called to heal the sick." Translation: Provide health care for all.

» "Christians have a biblical mandate to welcome strangers." Translation: How does that look as an immigration policy?

The national organization provided a list of Old and New Testament passages to use in examining what politicians propose to do when they are in power. Jesus' command to "Love your neighbor as yourself" tops that yardstick.

ANGELS ARE...

A Part Of Our Everyday Lives
In the voice of the stranger
who has said a kind word;
In the hand of the stranger who has helped,
When you needed that extra insight
to make a decision;
Many times we are helped by Angels
that appear from nowhere,
They come to us as poor or rich, tall or short,
But all have the same purpose,
One of love and Heavenly protection..
Do we recognize an Angel when we see on

Do we recognize an Angel when we see one?

Iran Says Oil Price Is Right At $100 A Barrel

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 10:25:06 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: Pressure for a cut in oil output at next week's Opec meeting in Vienna stepped up today when Iran’s Opec governor said an oil price of $100 per barrel was “appropriate”

Robert Laughlin, analyst at MF Global, said today that Opec had played a good hand in its actions — or lack of them — this year, when prices rose aggressively. "But [they] will be alarmed at the downturn in demand and the deteriorating economic backdrop of the global economy."

"Western leaders will be urging the cartel to remain unchanged in production strategy but I fear there is growing feeling in the ranks of price hawks that a cut in production is required and now," Mr Laughlin said

Even the most moderate Opec member, Saudi Arabia, which has indicated that it would prefer output to be left unchanged, has been cutting the discount at which it sells Arab heavy, a poor-quality crude that it uses to calm the oil price, offering large quantities at big discounts.

Clip Source: business.timesonline.co.uk

Oil market analysts expect Opec producers to vigorously protect the $100 a barrel price at next week’s meeting against a backdrop of rapidly falling crude prices and the strengthening dollar.

Crude oil prices are now at a five-month low and could yet fall through the $100 a barrel level, first breached at the beginning of this year.

“Continuing worries about the international economic outlook, a firmer US dollar and, possibly, market speculation that Opec may not move production levels following next week’s Opec meeting left oil prices softer,” David Moore, commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said.

Predictions earlier this week that the world’s leading economies were at a standstill and that the UK could be in recession by the end of the year have heightened concerns that global demand for oil will fall back, sending prices plunging.

Venezuela has led demands for cuts but Ecuador's oil minister, Galo Chiriboga, has said that output levels should remain unchanged.

Longest lived ruler of England

Of all the people who have ruled England, from earliest Anglo-Saxon times to the present day, which one lived the longest? Most people, after a moment's thought, used to say Victoria, though clued-in folk nowadays know that the present queen has actually beaten Vicky. Nobody ever remembers poor Richard Cromwell, though he beat them all, living to nearly 86.

Everyone does better with Dems in the White House

Why McCain and the GOP Are So Afraid of Discussing the Economy

Over the last six decades, whether rich or poor, everyone has done better with Democrats in the White House.

From 1948 to 2007, the average annual growth of real gross national product was 1.64 percent per capita under Republican presidents versus 2.78 percent under Democrats.

Blinder notes that this 1.14-point difference over eight years would yield 9.33 percent more income per person

Alan S. Blinder, in the New York Times, drew recently from Unequal Democracy, a new book by Princeton political science professor Larry M. Bartels. His takeaway could be a game-changer:

real per capita GNP grew 69.5 percent faster under the Democrats

Families at the 20th percentile (the poorest) did significantly better under Democrats t

The best-off families

fared almost as well under Republican

Income inequality

trended substantially upward under Republican presidents but slightly downward under Democrats

McCain acceptance speech: I WAS A POW

McCain Uses His Big Speech to Give Us a Tour of His Vietnamese Prison Cell

Number of sentences in John McCain's acceptance speech about his experience as a POW in Vietnam: 43.

Number of sentences about his 25 years in the House and Senate: 8.

The convention ended as it began: a commemoration of McCain's hellish years in a Hanoi prison cell four decades ago. The political equation was a simple one: POW equals patriotic hero equals a fighting president. Before McCain walked down the long runway at St. Paul's Xcel Center, a baritone voice declared over the P.A., "When you've lived in a box .... you put your people first." Case closed.

And for McCain, it was on to the final battle, the old soldier, faith-tested and faith-proved, accompanied by a stylish hockey mom representing small-town goodness -- against those whose mettle have not been tested, whose love of country has not been tested, whose America is rather different from the America of the Republican convention.

Sarah Palin’s Family Values Aren’t Mine!

I can’t stand Obama. I think Joe Biden is a poor excuse for a politician. Plagiarists don’t sit well with writers, even if I’m only writing until I can get through film school. I don’t think Obama can change anything. I don’t think he has the skill to fix jack shit. He can’t fix what Bush has done and he’s the most inexperienced presidential candidate ever second only to Bush.

But….I hate Sarah Palin. I don’t mean I dislike her. I HATE that stupid bitch. I cannot stand her. She is the biggest hypocrite on the planet. John McCain made a huge mistake in picking her as his running mate. He wanted the “Hillary” supporters and the Evangelicals all in one vote, but seriously, he’s about to alienate both groups thanks to choosing this woman.

I agree that USUALLY a politician’s kids should be off limits, but:

-When a person is trying to force “beliefs” on a nation that do not even work in her own home she is a fuckin’ hypocrite
