  Jaracz sounds more than a little like Rasputin.....

  Nah, Rasputin was at least charismatic. LOL!

  Wow...such unabashed hatred for boy bands! I love all types of music (and have the CD collection to prove it) but there's just something about a well-crafted pop song that I'm a sucker for.

  Syn,

  Just my two cents, but there is one thing that Lance Bass can bring to this expedition that neither Tito nor Shuttleworth could provide: massive, mega, ultra-publicity. I couldn't tell you more than a handful of people who had heard of either man before their space expeditions, but Bass has a built-in audience.

  Not that I'm an N'Sync fan or anything (nah! ) but I think this might just be the smartest move the Soviets could have made. It will increase interest in the space station exponentially and the audience for the launch should be massive.

  "...as we examine how Jehovah's Witnesses protect pedophiles and put children at risk."

  So few words, yet the power those words hold. Don't imagine that much sleep will be had at headquarters for quite some time.

  Lobby BBCAmerica To Air Panorama!!!

  bbcamerica has a page where one can submit requests for specific programs:______.

  http://www.bbcamerica.com/about/contactus_email.jsp.

  i have no clue whether this is intended for "other programs" aired by "other bbc affiliates", but it would seem to be worth 5 minutes for everyone to take the time to fill out a request that "suffer the little chidren" be aired on bbcamerica.

  vent on.

  i can't possibly be the only one feeling this way.. here's a self-professed maybe ex jw pedophile whose made upwards to a billion dollars selling records now using the race card.

  michael jackson...using the race card.. could it be sour grapes because the album he spent 50 million producing was a complete and utter flop?

  I was a big fan of MJ for a very, very long time. For quite some time he could literally do no wrong musically, but come on...$50,000,000.00 for a single album? That kind of figure just boggles the mind. Where in the world could you possibly spend that kind of money on an album?

  IMHO, Sony has no one but themselves to blame for that kind of cash expenditure. They certainly had to be getting some sort of financial accounting for the album's cost as it was underway.

  One of my personal faves is the episode where Sideshow Bob breaks lose, yet again, and attempts to kill Bart. It's the one with the whole "Cape Fear" take-off.

  Favorite scene from the episode:

  As Bart and Bob are on the back of the boat as it careens down the river, Bart stalls for time and asks Bob to perform the entire score of 'H.M.S. Pinafore'.

  Bob: Very well, I shall send you to heaven before I send you to hell.

  That show is absolutely brilliant. I've probably seen each episode six times and I never get tired of it.

  Oh, oh, oh! I second Simon's suggestion of Nicole Kidman, but could we possibly add Ewan McGregor in there somewhere, too? I'm sure they'd be willing to work together again.
