By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

So the empty suit in the WH is afraid to expose himself, and express his honest opinion about the hugely insensitive plan by Rauf, the Ground Zero Islamofascist, yet in the Gates case, he couldn't wait to tell us the white cops "acted stupidly..."
I guess they belong under the bus along with his "typical white" grandmother...and now Nutsy Pelosi wants to "investigate" me, and the other 70% of Americans who know what our enemy is up to...hmmm, I wonder if she's including Harry Reid...???
Legacy-buying has been with us for a while now.
I have no doubt that ol' Tony is feeling pretty guilty about now. Also wondering how he got so hornswoggled.
Former British PM Tony 'Bliar' Blair has jsut announced that he wll donate the £4.6 million pounds advance and all the royalties from his forthcoming book to a centre for rehabilitaiton of injured service personnel. (thats as much as 8 million dollars)
Blair is reviled by many in the UK for ignoring or manipulating evidence to join GWB in his mad Iraqi adventure. The current enquiry into the entry of the UK into the conflict is revealing a lot of embarassing and humilating accounts of what really went on. Many think that Blair should be put on trial for his actions.
It is a hugely generous gesture, but many are saying that this is Blair's cynical attempt to salve his conscience. He has earned at least 15 million dollars in tha last 2 years from consultancies and speaking engagements. He appears to be highly regarded in the US. Families of the dead and injured are calling it blood money. Is it possible to buy forgiveness in this way??
Tony Blair has a pretty good haircut but his teeth are not so great!
A crooked politician in Chicago? You're kidding, right?
The biggest thing Blag-o (and you Brits should really be getting a huge chuckle out of that moniker - isn't it funny just how appropriately named some people are?) had going for him was that there WAS a jury, albeit not exactly one of his peers. If it had been his peers (conniving, manipulating, slimeball, dirtbag self-dealing politicos) rather than convicting him of anything they would be more likely to pin a medal to his chest, send him down the hall and say "You're our boy!" Well, that's just about what happened anyway now, isn't it?

Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
