At least 21 dead in Syria bomb blast
Seeded on Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:19 PM EDT (The Sydney Morning Herald)
This disaster just keeps plugging away. This intended ceasefire is as bogus as the day is long. Assad will not stop attacking untill the resistence to his dictatorial reign has stopped. If Annan thinks that the UN has any actual power in this region of the world, he needs to thin …

Has the republican party become a corporation, they certainly sound like one. Republican candidates are running around from state to state spending money like water on the campaign trail. This is like advertising products and services which they will provide.

Hijack of the American Society and Economy!
Fri Jun 3, 2011 12:59 AM EDT
This is so sad, it is very sad, it should make an American cry. To think that our country is being hijacked because we have a society with open markets, a sense of freedom, and opportunities for our kids. Our society has been hijacked in many ways; economic, ethical, and moral.
