In the News...

From MY Way News:

"If the president takes privatization off, if he makes a commitment to the future of Social Security, we're ready to sit down on a bipartisan basis and put everything on the table," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said on NBC's "Meet the Press.""That's the only way to start a good-faith negotiation."


A ‘good-faith negotiation’ for who? The bastard politicians that got us in this mess in the first place by stealing the money in the Social Security Trust Fund and spending it on their vote buying schemes? Dear Senator from Illinois, you put the ‘Dick’ in Durbin.

From TheStar.com on our ‘free’ brothers to the North:

‘If lawful access becomes reality, Canada's telecommunications service providers (TSPs) will be required to refit their networks to allow for real-time interception of communications, to have the capability of simultaneously intercepting multiple transmissions, and to provide detailed subscriber information to law enforcement authorities without a court order within 72 hours.
Moreover, Canada's service providers will be subject to inspections and required to provide the government with reports on the technical capabilities of their networks. These activities will be shrouded in secrecy with service providers facing fines of up to $500,000 or sentences of up to five years in jail for failing to keep the data collection confidential’


If this keeps up, it won’t be long before we have to start enforcing that border, too.

Great upstanding citizen James Brown on Michael Jackson:

'I think he's has been set up like most entertainers. People think you have a lot of money. They've been trying to do that to me all my life - trying to get something for nothing,'


S’up Jimmy, Michael front you an eight-ball?

From DenverPost.com, the President of the University of Colorado resigns:

‘I have spoken many times about my view of principled leadership. It has become clear to me that, amid the serious matters the University of Colorado now confronts, my role as the leader of the University has become an issue.
It appears to me it is in the University’s best interest that I remove the issue of my future from the debate so that nothing inhibits CU’s ability to successfully create the bright future it so deserves.
Therefore, I intend to resign my position as President of the University of Colorado effective June 30, 2005 or whenever the Board names a successor.’


So the man who called those killed in the 9/11 massacre ‘little Eichmanns’ and has called for terrorism strikes here at home still has a job, but...

From Yahoo! News on Syria/Lebanon:

‘The presidents of Syria and Lebanon announced Monday that Syrian forces will pull back to Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley by March 31, but a complete troop withdrawal will be deferred until after later negotiations.’


Hey, maybe that stupid Cowboy Bush knew something after all. Any libs biting?

Again Yahoo! News:

‘‘Taking a baby aspirin may prevent heart attacks in men, but it does little to ward off a first heart attack in women aged 45 to 64, researchers reported Monday.'


Hear that Harvard? Men and women might just be different. Who knew?
