This makes perfect sense, and lefties ought to be shouting it from the mountaintops. People don't "hate us for our freedoms" or because we do nice things; they hate us because we treat the rest of the world like sh*t. Cheney is exhibit one.
I always thought that it was Bilge-O's obsession with teenies and crack pipes...
Teenies with innies or outies?
acting families, dynasties really, is the family of Sir Michael Redgrave. My heartfelt condolences to family and friends of Natasha Richardson, granddaughter of the great Sir Michael. So young.
This is a reminder for all of us to appreciate each day we are given.
Life (and death) is so unpredictable.
and, did i read correctly, that it was during a ski lesson? a lesson?
... truly bizarre. And incredibly sad.
But keep in mind 5000 people die each day in the U.S. from various causes.
but I'm sure they didn't die the way Natasha did.
According to reports I've read, she was offered paramedic assistance immediately after falling and declined to go with them. She went back to her room instead.
In that one hour, until she had a bad headache and felt badly, paramedics could have been monitoring her for signs of an intracranial bleed. Not that anything could have been done in time, but I do think her chances would have been perhaps a little better, as she would have been that much closer to a surgery center.
Someone else also mentioned that perhaps she had a mini-stroke that caused her to fall, rather than the actual fall causing the head trauma.
All this is akin to a choking victim in a restaurant. Many times if a person is choking with NO air exchange, rather than make a "fool" of themselves they'll get up and run to the bathroom where many times they just die.
So, if anyone is ever choking and they run to the restroom, FOLLOW THEM! and do the Heimlich maneuver and GET HELP right away!
I just keep thinking of the 40 plus years that just vanished from Natasha Richardson and her family.
Boy, you never know.
I have to admit I've only seen Michael Redgrave in one of my favorite horror movies, the English Dead of Night, as a deranged ventriloquist.

"Obama DOJ may revive anti-trust enforcement"
not only is this crucial, but the insurance industry can no longer be exempted (see, McCarran-Ferguson Act) from antitrust laws (Sherman Antitrust Act).
also, the 'too big to fail' nonsense about banks needs to be looked at, imo, in monopolistic terms...
!
One could say Sherman's been tanked,
Or better yet not say anything at all.
George Bush is writing a book about his decidering. They have a huge PR strategy already planned.
;)
do you know who is illustrating it?
personally, i am hoping that it will be in a pop-up book format... maybe with a easy couple puzzles at the end, like word-search.
Is R J Crumb still alive?
Or how about Maurice Sendak?

Good work by Media Bloodhound, Glenn Beck is an ass, and Richard Cohen might be the stupidest columnist in a major paper there is (there are several other contenders, but most aren't falsely labeled "liberal" as Cohen is).
