Headlines and stuff

Most of the headlines are via Lucianne...

St. Peggy is really snotty today...Media people keep saying, as Hillary gears up for her presidential bid, that her big challenge in 2008 will be to prove that she is as tough as a man. That she could order troops to war. That she's not girly and soft.
This is the exact opposite of the truth. Hillary doesn't have to prove her guy chops. She doesn't have to prove she's a man, she has to prove she's a woman. No one in America thinks she's a woman. They think she's a tough little termagant in a pantsuit...
Read the whole thing...she also takes on the flagburning amendment and Barbara Walters.

200 000 evacuated from Pennsylvania...it's Bush's fault...except that the same thing happened in 1972. At that time, the governor had to flee the mansion in Harrisburg, and Wilkes Barre had an old, powerful but corrupt congressman named (of all things) Flood. He flew in on an Army helicopter, ordered the army to get supplies there or he would oppose their funding in Congress....and within two months had mobile homes all over the mountainside.
Now, can you imagine if Mayor Nagin or the tear soaked guv had done that in NOLA?

Hmmm...terrorists kidnapped and killed some Russian diplomats, and Putin is going to get them...no wonder he is a friend of Bush...even though they disagreed over Iraq...
Attention AlQuada: It's the European Union members who pay ransom. The Russians play hardball and make BUSH and Olmert like wimps...

And Israel figures that if Hamas sends paramilitaries to attack and kidnap their soldiers, and Hamas also runs the government, that this is an act of war. And instead of apologizing, Hamas threatens to hit with chemical weapons, so Israel captures their leaders who just happen to run the government.
Wonderful...and where is Kofi Annan in this? Hyperventillating.
Armageddon, anyone?

Gloria got lots of good press in Europe for outlawing the death penalty here.
Bad News: Torture of suspects continue...maybe because of increased atrocities and killing by the NPA
Bad news: Another mayor killed...they are having disaster drills in case someone bombs a mall...the US Marines accused of raping a bar lass are still in the headlines and things don't look good for them...fools...and the big controversy is if the schools will allow sex education.

Finally, UK docs now decide they oppose Euthanasia...so although you might have to wait three months to get your cancer surgery or a year for your heart surgery, at least they won't be pressured to get rid of you to save money...or to open beds for other people...or because your insurance company decides your medical care is futile...if you scroll down, futility is considered if you have Alzheimers and are in a nursing home...and no, it's not from a pro life nutso website, but a philosophical website, and the criteria is from the Hastings center...

Ah but the good news: Women in Kuwait voted...but my relatives always preferred to work in Kuwait than SaudiArabia...because women were treated politely, and they were allowed to go to church...
