Looks like Bush keeps electing Zionists to run the economy.

They make up 2.5% of the US population, yet he keeps appointing them!!! Does this prove the old wives tale/anti semitic rant that jews are good with money??!?!

By the time he leaves office, he'll have given every Zionist in the place a job.

On a totally unrelated note, it appears Paris will be housed in the 'special needs' unit of prison Linky Dink

Hmmmm a diary of a whole three weeks, should be interesting reading about how she sits in a cell for 23 hours a day :? The appalling thing is it will probably be a best seller. Her comment about wanting to be an example to others made me want to take my shoe off and throw it at her head.

Doesn't this worry people? Since the Holocaust it seems that Zionists get just a wee bit too much credibility.

Hell lets elect some KKK to look after the health service, and put Al Quida in charge of prisons. :?

I think people have gotten cynical (including yours truly). When you get to the level that we're talking here, people don't get appointed because of their outstanding ability but because it suits those doing the appointing. There was no way, for example, that Bush would've appointed a liberal democrat to the job for many reasons.

Apparently the German press have given the McCann family a bit of a grilling. Can't wait to see the slummy red-top headlines tomorrow.

Since Maddy was taken there's apparantly been over 800 kids going missing in the UK alone. I reckon it would be safe to say that had she gone missing from a housing esate in Aberdeen then the parents would be most probably be called bad parents for their litte act whereas with the middle classes on holiday it becomes something totally different and much more tragic because they are not expected to do something so irresponsible and are somehow more sympathetic.

Thing is the meida campaign comes from a press office and from her parents who are clearly aware to keep in he news they need to do things like meet the pope, so in that regard it's a combination of between money hungry press and parents who want to keep a high profile.

Murder is good for news editors, but the mystery which comes from abduction means a loger narrative. Having said all of this there is no chance that so many papers would be sold if there wasn't a demand for these stories. The supply fits the demands. People care about this missing child and when profit is the bottom line press go where the cash is, not the other way round.

U2's Bono Is Going Cellular (WNEM)

Bono is getting into the wireless phone business.

Treo phones.

The private equity firm, called Elevation, is acquiring about 25 percent of
Palm's stock.

Regarding Madaline McCann, whoever stole her obviously has a cowardly streak, or he would do it when the family was in the house. Now what would a cowardly guy do when it turns out most of Europe is doing its bit to find her? I have a few guesses.

I heard the German Media accused them off doing it themselves and they got rather pissed off at them

Rightfully so of course

Well, Paris Hilton is already out of prison and is home under "house arrest" for the remainder of her sentence. :roll: So, of her 30-40 day sentence, she served what, 3 days? It must be just totally disconcerting to be under house arrest on a huge estate, complete with swimming pool, sauna, spa and servants. I just don't know how she will manage.
