Not every politician is a crook, but it is hard to remain neutral when there is so much money at your disposal. I think McCains heart is probably in the right place. His head is unfortunately up the Republican Partys A$$ that he is just a figurehead. He did not nominate the Moose. His party did.

Baracks Wall Street Problem is Now Americas
by misocup inmisocup, good article.. once again, in this totally insane atmosphere of partisan politics, the most straightforward facts, such as the obama/democrats involvement in the freddie/frannie (fraudy and foney)mess is being distorted all out of proportion.
of course the republicans are involved also!
but the truth is it is a 20/80 situation and the dems are the 80. ironically, it was john mccain who called for closer regulation 2 yrs ago and was ignored by the democratic congress, many of whom, like obama, were involved up to their eyeballs in receiving personal gain from these two companies.. don't expect any lib/dems on this board to acknowledge any of this.

What happened on Friday was nothing less than socialism at its worst. Bailing out private enterprise with public taxpayer funds will only cause many more problems than currently at hand. Bailing out folks in ravaged cities with hurricane relief-bad. Bailing out Wall Street-priceless vote buying. So much for Republicans being "free enterprisers". Hypocrites. All of them.

Cool computer tool
by free2beme ini work in the internet business and often hear people tell me that they have this great internet speed and then complain how their computer seems to go slow on the internet.
while it can be viruses and spy ware, often it is you not getting the speed you were promised or pay for from your cable, dsl or wireless provider.
test it from time to time and call your provider if you are not getting what you were promised.

I complained a few hours ago and in an instant I was offered an ultra high connection with ten bucks less a month for 1 year plus a free first month. She completely avoided the issue about slowness. Crafty little Filipinos at the command post in Manila.

For Those Who Donate Blood: Do You Feel It's Your Duty
by Nosferatu intoday, i decided to go donate blood for the second time ever.
it's really weird.
i don't normally volunteer for anything, but i happily volunteer to donate blood.

The first time I donated was just a few days before Christmas. I figured the best gift I could give someone was to donate at an extreme time of need. Donating blood helps keep 3 people alive. It also helps me in many ways. They check your blood for abnormalities every 56 days or so. It also forces your body to replenish it's supply.
My JW co worker asked me last year how much they paid me to donate. That's just about the dumbest question a JW had ever asked me.
I have donated 41 times and will donate 2 more times this year. Yes, the needle does hurt a bit, but its discomfort is only momentary.

The mag specifically states "images", including crucifixes, and so on. Aren't pictures a type of image?
