Is my friend a coward and did he nearly get me killed?
We were waking home. These two guys were harrassing us talking garbage. He noticed one had a knife but didn’t say anything. I didn’t see any knife. Anyway, one of the guys kicked me in the back of the leg and I turned around and told him to FUCK right off or it would get ugly. The other guy asked what I said and I repeated it louder. Then, I turned around and kept walking. The guy slithered (I didn’t hear him) forward and held my one shoulder with his arm and pulled a knife near my throat. I managed to get my hand in the way of my jugular (so he couldn’t slit my throat) and then quickly the situation diffused. He asked how I felt now and I told him to go fuck himself. He walked off.

Still, this doesn’t seem good. Did my friend not say anything because he was scared? He said he thought I knew about the knife but I REALLY doubt that. I wouldn’t have challeneged and then turned my back on someone with an open knife.

So what’s going on?
What’s the deal?
I wasn’t trying to pick a fight (though I would have fought him anyway if he would’ve tried to assault me again when my back was turned, yet I still didn’t know there was any knife.) I thought once I told him to back off it would be done. Not to cower away, but because I thought the situation was over.
That’s why I turned my back, I mean.
Also I would have fought him had he tried ANYTHING more with his knife or movement after he paused with the knife. It was just that we both paused.


What you really should have done was called the police and report an attempted knifing. I’m more concern about the way you reacted to the guy rather than your friend. When someone pulls out a knife, you don’t make the situation worse by telling him to go do something to himself. This isn’t the movies - this is real life.

I think he was just incredibly startled and didn’t know what to say. I know if I saw someone with a knife, declaring you knew it was there would only get you attacked sooner. Though he didn’t use chivalry, you cannot blame him for being frightened. Most people aren’t as brave as you seem to be.

This Is England

This Is England
This Is England (2006)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: Roland Rat, Margaret Thatcher; Rubik’s Cubes, the Royal Wedding; aerobics, skinheads… It’s 1983, and the schools are breaking up for summer. Shaun is 12 and a bit of a loner, growing up with his mum in a grim coastal town, his dad killed fighting in the Falklands War. On his way home from school where he’s been tormented all day for wearing flares, he runs into a group of skinheads, who against expectations turn out to be friendly and take him under their wing. Soon Shaun discovers parties, girls and snappy dressing, and finds some role models in Woody, Milky and the rest of the gang. But when an older, overtly racist skinhead returns home from prison, the easy camaraderie of the group is broken, and Shaun is drawn into much more uncomfortable territory. Based largely on his own experience as a youngster, this is Shane Meadows’ most mature and fully realised film. Handling the complexities of masculinity, violence and race with sensitivity and a lightness of touch, it’s hard to imagine a film that would better capture the mood of the time, or that could have any greater an understanding of the allure of being part of a gang.

How should I start my novel?
Julia Moris is a 21 year old PC in the police force. She starts off at a small station in a small villiage in somerset, where she lives with her father and her brother. Her mother died when she was 10 years old when she was stabbed in the street after a night out with friends. Julia also has a sister who is six years older than her, and after their mother died, she moved up to London to start life fresh because she didn’t get on well with her father, and she left Julia behind. Julias father had become abusive towards Julia after her mother died, and her younger brother, Daniel, took after their father and got in trouble a lot because of truency and bullying.

When Julia was sixteen, she was fed up with living with her abusive father, and moved in with her auntie Janice. Julia decided that when she was old enough, she wanted to become a police officer because of what happened to her mother.
The type of crimes that Julia investigated at the small police station were crimes such as fights outside pubs, shoplifting and domestic abuse.
One day, the station are told of a big drugs deal in a close by town are called in to help other stations. Julia is put undercover as a friend of one of the people involved in the drug deal.
After the drugs deal, Julia is offered a transfer to a station in London, so she goes to live with her sister.

When Julia first starts, she befriends PC’s Liam Taylor and Lucinda White, and Seargent Joshua Winters. Julia feels under pressure as she has to investigate crimes such as GBH and ABH, rape, really big drug operations and fraud..
A few months after Julia finds herself in her first ever murder investigation which she finds very hard to cope with, but Liam, Lucinda and Josh all help her get through it.
After the long and difficult muder investigation, Julia and the others go to the local pub, and to cope with the last few stressful days, she gets drunk. Because of being drunk, Julia tries to kiss Joshua but he refuses to kiss her back, the have a huge argument and Julia storms off.
When she is halfway home, Julia decides that she can’t wait to get home that she takes a shortcut through an alleyway. Julia meets two strangers who want to take advantage of her, they fall on the floor and she gets stabbed.

Joshua and Liam find her, and she gets to the hospital and they are told that she is critical. She is in a coma for three days, she then becomes stable and regains conciousnous.

How do you think I should start it???
Julia waking up in the morning?? In the police station?? During an investigation??
What do you think??


During an investigation
Allie | Feb 05, 2010


That’s a pretty good idea.

Start with flashbacks. Julia is having nightmares about her past, then wakes to an annoying alarm and realizes she’s a bit late.

Trapped Ashes

Trapped Ashes
Trapped Ashes (2006)

IMDB rating: 5.50

Plot: Seven strangers on a Hollywood movie studio tour are trapped inside an infamous House of Horror and forced to tell their most terrifying stories to get out alive.

Directors:

Actors: Bartok Jayce,Gibson Henry,Lowell Scott,Miller Dick,Saxon John,Cox Richard Ian,Heindl Scott,deLeeuw Rob,Mina Mina E.,Rekert Winston,Russell Ken,Taylor John R.,Hiruma Yoshinori,Ishibashi Ryo,Ito Yozaburo,Horror,

I know what the obvious thing to do is, but what is right?
I will brief you on the back story first…..I lived with my boyfriend for one and half years. I found out i was pregnant 5 months ago, and he said he didnt want this baby. He moved into his mums house (as the flat is mine).He said alot of nasty things to me like I have done it on purpose to trap him, and I am using him for his money ( unemployed musician!)ect. So there has been alot of horrible things said both ways, I am certinly not whiter then white, but im not the the one who is in the wrong either.

What i consider the ultimate betrayal is that he has told all of his friends and family that Im mad and a user, and has painted me out to be some crazy sperm catcher! Which is not the case. Dispite all of this he definatly wants to be apart of his child life, and I would never ever prevent that.

Anyway, needless to say we are not a couple anymore. Over the past month, I made a real effort to try and get on his good side. I sent him a photo of us, cooked him a meal, and made it clear I wanted to move past this and try and create a family unit. He on the other hand hasn’t even apologized for the things he has said, he really feels justified in everything he has done to me. After a telephone argument, (where he again tried to convince me i was crazy), i siad to him and vowed to myself that i would never ever get into a relationship with him again. i promised myself that i would never be with someone who had such a low opinion of me. I have focused on my job and pregnancy. ( sorry i know im babbling)..

I had a text from him the other day saying he missed me, and wanted us to be a family. I sent him an email telling him we will never be an item and i deserve better. I gave it all the ‘miss independent i can do it all by myself’ talk.

He has said such awful things to me and about me, and left me when I needed him most, and wont even apologize, even after all of this time.
I know the obvious thing to do is to have my baby alone, and be with someone who wouldnt treat me like this, but another side of me is yelling…. Ash, he panicked, You (meaning I) said some nasty things too, my baby deserves for me to at least try and have a family unit, is it really worth not trying over a sorry? Does me being stuborn help the suituation? He is my first love. Can we get back our tight bond we once had? I am 24, he is 27, we are still growing arnt we?

The betrayle of him insulting me to his family and friends means I feel i can never be around them again, (they have obviously agreed with him and been his support), but then should i just get over it?

Im sorry, i know iv babbled on and on, and I probably sound like a silly girl. And I know there is no shame in being a single mother. My mother raised four of us by herseld, and she is a strong women who i look up to.

I cant belive i have turned into one of thoses women who say ‘but i love him’, but i really do. When we were togeather he was the best boyfriend in the world. Should I forgive him, and let him back in? or carry on missing him, hoping thigs will get easier?

Thank you for reading this. Please respond if u feel to ( try not to b
e cruel).xxxx
just o add, to be compleatly fair, in did used to work, but only a temping job. and that was on off. Also, i have a feeling he said and did all this so he could enjoy himself with his friends for a while, and now he has run out of money he wants to come back. Dont get me wrong though, i dont really have a problem with him getting all the partying out his sysyem but i dont want to be used either. However, saying that, he has and will never lie. and i know he loves me . well he thinks he does. wheather thats true or not i dont know. il shut up now
im not sure how to relpy??
Barbra, your post made me cry. my mum calls him a baby, i think u may be right, and please, by no means am i a door mat. i know thats how it comes across. he said he will set up a direct debit for the baby so, as long as he’s working he will pay, and if he isnt working he will pay ?20 per week.
To be honest i think alot of it is lonliness. im lonley without him. but i think ur right. Just not sure if its the fair thing to do for all concerned


It’s a really difficult one because it depends what type of lifestyle you have. I think you should speak to him to always be there for you and your child even if your not together! He clearly misses you! And i know its such a bad thing he said all that to his family and friends but people do all sorts of stupid things when pregnancy is involved. Maybe hes scared about it? Personally i think you just have to talk to him and ask him to be around for you and the child first. You never know what could happen for the both of you after that! Having the baby may bring you two a thousand times closer together and may change the way he treats you. good luck! xxx

Dear one,

In truth, you don’t love this man. You love stability and since he is the father of your child, he represents stability. Well, you couldn’t be more wrong. You couldn’t be more wrong.

He has said and done some unthinkable things. He can’t support you or your child (unemployed musician). He is a coward and a cad for saying you tried to entrap him and on and on. He is a truly horrid little man. AND he is beneath you.

Insofar as loving you? No. Dear one, face the fact that he absolutely does NOT love you - he loves your apartment and loves it that you are a willing bedmate and care-taker. He loves (as if he could love) himself and his independance. He is a large child. You have a baby on the way - please don’t take on raising another child (namely this horrid little man)

Now then. You don’t want him back - you want your dignity back. I suggest - no, I urge - you meet with a counselor to help you develop the tools you need to build the kind of life you want with your child

Now. I don’t know what the laws are in your area but here in the US, fathers are responsible for paying child support. I suggest you contact a good lawyer to determine what your and especially your child’s rights are. Your ex may be required to pay child support whether he likes it or not - in the US, dead-beat parents face jail time.

So the obvious thing is - yes - move on from this man - but protect your child’s rights.

See a good lawyer.

And remember, you don’t love this man - he doesn’t deserve your love.
Barbara B | Oct 14, 2009


no one can really tell you what to do, it is totally and completely up to you.

its your decision on whether or not you wish to forgive him and move past it (if you do get back together however i would think it a good idea to not bring it up again in future arguements it will only make things worse) if you really truly love him and feel you can forgive him then you should give it another go, but not just because your having a baby but because you love each other.

maybe it would also be a good idea to try to talk to his family and see what they actually think of the situation they may not have taken his side exactly just it’s easy to believe a one sided story (its always better to talk to people who really love and care about both of you and can give an honest opinion)

as for the mean things said, in the heat of the moment things do get said most of the time people do not mean them you said yourself you also said some things to him i wouldn’t dwell on those thoughts too much

i’d just say talk to him see how he feels also and don’t get back together just because it’s your first love and you feel noone will love you as much because trust me from personal experience this is not true! my first boyfriend and i always argued and said mean things to each other but i took him back every time!! mistake… i now have a wondefrul boyfriend who doesnt talk to me like an idiot and actually respects me, as the old saying goes there’s plenty more fish in the sea!

god now i’m babbling!! :) hope this is of some help to you!!
also, just one last thing - i’m not condoning his actions in anyway but perhaps he did get scared it’s quite a huge deal becoming a father! and he needed a little time to get used to the idea… anyway enough of my talk, talk to each other its the best thing!! x

Black Christmas

Black Christmas
Black Christmas (2006)

IMDB rating: 4.40

Plot: Not all Christmas stories are full of cheer - take the disturbing childhood of Billy Lenz, for example. Born during Christmas, little Billy Lenz suffered from Jaundice because of a liver defect, and was unwanted by his cruel mother (who only saw the husband she’d come to despise when she looked at her son). While she let her true feelings be known to him with beatings and abuse, only his father showed him compassion like a parent should. But on Christmas Eve in 1975, his unfaithful mother gave him one of the most cruelest gifts of all, as she made five-year-old Billy observe his beloved father’s brutal murder at her own hands and those of her lover with a claw hammer. Before burying him under the house, she locked Billy in the attic for good, to hold his silence of what he’d witnessed that night. His only contact from then on was when she came to punish him for making a noise or other such trivial nuisances, while she was with her lover and starting a “new” family. As Billy’s mother fell pregnant with a daughter and treated her with love, which Billy had never experienced with his mother, Billy came out of the attic on Christmas Eve 1991, taking a rolling pin to his mother’s head, and a pointed tree ornament to her lovers eye before leaving his sister as disfigured as he was by blinding her. Before he could finish the job police forced there way in and dragged him off to mental institution and his sister a foster home, whose eye sight was saved in one eye… but not the other. Cut to the present where a security guard has been monitoring Billy’s progress since he came into his care, back in 1991. Knowing full well that during this time for fifteen years, Billy has made a break from this asylum, but never succeeding… until now. Far away, his childhood home is now a sorority house, where nine sisters and their house-mother are celebrating the holiday season together …but tonight they’re about to get a surprise visitor… and it’s not Santa.

12 Days of Valentines, Stuck at 11!?
My boyfriend had an application on his iPhone around christmas, which he loved.
It was called the 12 days of christmas, and everyday he got a gift.

This inspired me to make a "12 Days of Valentines" surprise for him.
I have some nice red envelopes, and even got some black sealing wax to seal them in an old fashioned way. (Which has been a pain, actually, and messy!)

In each one I am going to have a little picture of us, a reason I love him and a gift. And then instructions to find the nexts days gift, (Im hiding them around his room).

I have a bunch of gifts, varying in price. They include, a couple vouchers, some chocolate lollys, a jigsaw puzzle with a doodle of us on it, some accessories for the ipod and some bath things for his feminine side :P

I have 11 gifts now, I need one more, the last one.
I was thinking of knitting a scarf, because he doesnt have one, but I looked up instructions on knitting and ah, I can see me messing that one up.

Ideas please!


3 ideas:

Make an origami heart (ehow) or a folded rose (bloom4ever) - search the internet or email for the links. YA won’t let me post the links.

Laminate a photo of the two of you, made into a bookmark - so it can be a few small pics or just one, glue it to construction paper, then hole punch the top and put twine through the hole.

Quick Banana Chocolate Chip Bars

1 Medium Ripe Banana, peeled
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
? Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
? Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
? Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Olive or Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
? Cup Chopped Nuts
? Cup Chocolate Chips (or what feels good)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray small rectangular or 9×9 square baking pan with non-stick spray.

Chop or mash banana. Combine with flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, oil, milk, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips to this mixture OR save them to add as topping, sprinkling on top of mixture after poured into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Isabellas (Oatmeal Cookies)

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
Dash salt, optional
Powdered Sugar

Cream butter and sugar until light. Mix in vanilla, then flour, oats and salt. Chill thoroughly. Shape into small balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with a fork, crisscrossing. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-18 minutes (depending on your oven). Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar
Larkin L | Feb 02, 2010


First off, I think this is a brilliant idea!

As for gift ideas, you could always just buy a scarf. However, I can see where you might not want to do that. My best suggestion - fish. I’ve recently found out that you can purchase a beta fish, a bowl, some decorations for the bowl, and food, for under $20. It makes a great gift; they’re gorgeous creatures and they aren’t hard to take care of by any means. You just have to feed them and clean their bowl every so often. (If he has a sense of humor, sea monkeys are great too!)

Another idea is to go to the store and buy two foam swords, silly string, playdoh, and chalk. Draw a big valetine’s message on his driveway before he gets home from school or work. When he gets home, the two of you can spend some time exploring your inner children with the gifts mentioned above. It’s the gift of fun, laughter, and time.

Good luck and Happy Valentine’s Day!

what are the sequel movies to the film: The night of the living dead?
1. what are the sequel movies to the film: The Night of the living dead?

2. Do these sequels have the same director as the original?

3. among these sequels, which do you think is the most scary?why?
(i think the scariest one is the day of the dead, but i don’t know if it’s a sequel of the movie, and i still haven’t watched the other sequels)

4. oh btw, there’s also another one where the characters are trapped into a mall and another sniper is trapped into a store at the rooftop. and then they shoot the zombies down below, and they picked the celebrities like jay lenno & the woman (i forgot her name) who was the enemy of donald trump. What’s the title of that sequel?

5. the dawn of the dead is not really scary. comments?


1. Depending on who you ask, the sequels to the original Night of the Living Dead are either the "Dead" series (Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead) or the "Living Dead" series (Return of the Living Dead parts 1-3, plus sequels Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave). Most people believe the "Living Dead" series is more of a spin-off, since it’s more comedic in tone, and that the "Dead" series is the actual sequel series.

2. Only the original "Dead" series was directed by George Romero, who directed NofLD, though remakes of both Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead were made a few years ago by other directors, plus there’s at least one or two NotLD remakes. The "Living Dead" series was originally based on a story by John Russo, who co-wrote NotLD, and the first "Return of…" movie was directed by Dan O’Bannon.

3. I don’t find zombie movies scary, or at least haven’t found them scary since I was a kid. That’s why my favorite zombie films have always been comedies (Shaun of the Dead, Braindead/Dead Alive, Army of Darkness). I’m the wrong person to ask about "scary" zombie films, sorry…

4. That sounds like the fore-mentioned Dawn of the Dead remake from 2004.

5. To each his own. I didn’t find it scary either…
DJPowWow | Feb 02, 2010


1.dawn of the dead and day of the dead
2.george romero directed the three original films
3.dawn of the dead was the most frightening for me because i was about 9 or 10 when i saw it
4. thats the remake of dawn of the dead.
5.no. not now.

What do you think of this?? :^)?
Almost every morning, i wake up and my cat, Lumpy, is sticking his head in the toilet bowl like a dog. One day, i watched him. He sticks his paw in the water and licks it. I don’t know if he likes that water or what but he knows he has a water fountain downstairs. I think he gets like drunk or high off the water because even if you scream his name he doesn’t get out of the bowl. You have to pick him up (because his paws are clinging to the seat and his head is in the bowl) and bring him somewhere else. Then, he lays down in the middle of the bathroom and even if you nudge him, he just lays there like a lump (know wonder his name is lumpy, right?). This is kind of a new thing for him since the past month or so. Can you tell me why he does this and if it’s healthy?? Should i keep the bathroom door closed?? Thank you if you answer. :^)
The toilet lid on my toilet is turned the opposite way as decoration, i cant close the lid. :^)


Unless it truly annoys you, no you don’t have to do anything. It is perfectly normal behavoir. I would close the bathroom door to stop Lumpy, though.
Twitter | Jan 31, 2010


If you use some kind of cleaner in the toilet like drop in bleach or something, then definitely keep the door (or at least the lid) closed. If not he’s probably just discovered best place in the house to get fresh water since his fountain water probably isn’t changed out as often as the toilet is flushed.
a | Jan 31, 2010


LOL… I don’t know that I can help with Lumpy, but do know he has a "twin". The only solution I know is to keep the toilet lid down. I let Poppy watch the toilet flush, but as soon as she tries to touch I pick her up and lower the lid… show’s over at that point.
sagacious_ness | Jan 31, 2010


I don’t know a scientific reason why cats do that, but I’ve been told it has to do with fresh water. Also, cats can taste water, unlike humans, so some water sources may taste better than others!
Aras | Jan 31, 2010


I seriously do not have an answer for this one except that he loves toilet water… I am constantly having to keep my bathroom door shut since my cat either gets into the toilet water or lays in front of the toilet. I think your story is hilarious. Just let your kitty be himself, but shut your bathroom door… Kudos to you for addressing a problem we all (cat lovers) have dealt with in such a comedic way!!! I am giving you a star!!!

wondering about a game that possibly doesn't exist?
Ok i’ve been wondering about a game that was featured in an issue of game informer a few years back during the ps2’s lifespan possibly before current gen consoles were even announced.

Details
from what i remember, it was basically a horror survivor game. It had a high emphasis on fog which was a big element in the story i remember.. the main character i guess was looking for survivors in the world. It was similar to silent hill except the creature things were more out in the open and actually there. (sorry not big on silent hill) and i know it WASNT silent hill. I’m thinking it was possible to drive a car if you found one but im not sure. It could have possibly been called "the fog" but i cant find any info under that. if i remember anything from the article i remember that if you were to go beyond the parameters of the "fog" there would be some massive creature that would kill you. That part could have been readers interpretation..

I dont know the name or if the game even came out. Its possible it was cancelled..
anyways any help would be appreciated. If there arent any answers ill try sony forums tomorrow thanks.


Extermination, maybe ?

Notes on a Scandal

Notes on a Scandal
Notes on a Scandal (2006)

IMDB rating: 7.70

Plot: Barbara Covett is a veteran and cynical schoolteacher who is close to retirement. She is barely tolerated by her less brilliant and acerbic colleagues who know nothing about her private life which consists mainly of taking care of Portia, her aging cat, and spending countless hours alone. The only means she has found to take the edge off her desperate loneliness is writing in her journal. When Sheba Hart, a younger, attractive woman, joins the faculty as an art teacher, Barbara watches her from afar and has nothing but caustic things to say in her diary about her clothing and her care-free manner. Despite her disdain for this woman, Barbara finds herself reaching out to her. Sheba responds by inviting her to dinner at her house to meet Sheba’s lecturer husband, who is twenty years her senior, and their two children, a sexy and rebellious 16-year-old daughter and a younger boy with Downs Syndrome. Instead of opening herself to these people, Barbara immediately sees them as competition to be beaten in the battle for Sheba’s attention. Later, when Barbara discovers her new friend in a classroom having sex with Steven, a 15-year-old from the school who has artistic talent; she realizes that knowledge of this secret gives her power over Sheba which she can use for her own purposes. Barbara promises to not tell anyone but insists that the affair must end immediately. Sheba says she will but finds herself drawn back to the boy again and again. Sheba seems uneasy with Barbara’s friendship and is appalled when she discovers the older woman might have a sexual interest in her. The tenuous relationship between the two women reaches a crisis point when Barbara’s cat is dying and she asks Sheba to go with her to the vet. She chooses to go with her family to see their son in a play instead. In revenge, Barbara sets in motion the scandal that will rock both their lives in ways they never imagined.

So media bias or.. did it just slip their mind?
.. or what is it. So I see major media still reporting on Abramoff and DeLay recently. Washington Post upset that Delay is going to be on dancing because of his involvement in the abramoff scandal. The AP has had two articles this month involving Abramoff. NY Times made sure they slipped in a note about Abramoff in a recent competitive bidding in congress article.
Yet we have Hassan Nemazee indicted 3 days ago after his arrest in a ponzi scheme from banks that received stimulus money. Nemazee was a campaign donor and fundraiser to Obama, Clinton as well as donations and connections to many other dems and the articles are almost not there.
Not one cable network, nationally read paper etc has an article on it in the last 3 days. Well except the telegraph in the uk. although i do see reuters picked it up at least.
A guy who donated at least 100k a year to the DNC as well as donations to invididual campaigns scams almost 300 million and its not a story i guess huh.
I do agree there is plenty of corruption on both sides. but alot of people dont go read for themselves they wait for someone in the major media to put it in front of their face. and if the presentation is largely one sided well that would tend to influence the opinion of how much corruption there is on that one side.
kyrcant I got the 100k per year from the reuters story. as well as one other I dont recall which one. if they are wrong thats fine but im not making up numbers.

bdouglas, I said reuters before you even answered. and I said cable news and nationally read media. Most of those you listed are local/regional. except reuters and wsj and again i said reuters.
and google news is exactly where i was searching.
heres my google news search.
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&re snum=0&q=hassan%20nemazee%20indictme nt&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&ta b=wn
as you can see mostly regional/local or blog sites besides a couple. do one on abramoff and you will get tons.
oh and bash.. i said about his indictment 3 days ago, most of what you link is from the end of august.


Unfortunately, in most things you say, you are right. It seems that if the DNC is involved in any way, no one ever hears about it here. Our government if full of corruption on both sides and needs to be cleaned up and cleaned out.

Just slipped their mind. By the way who cares.
da.yooper57 | Sep 25, 2009


Now you don’t really need this spelled out for you, do you? I think we all know the mainstream media has an ongoing thing for Obama, even though they do grudgingly cover the occasional negative story connected with him if enough of us are looking. They’re not fooling anybody but themselves.

First, I just read up on Nemazee, and it wasn’t a ponzi scheme, it was a case of fraud. Second, he donated only $67k to the DNC that I could find, and they have agreed to donate that money back to charity.

Please list your sources.

Third, BoA and Citigroup, the two banks that he scammed the most from, just scammed America out of many many billions, so this is chump change.

You’re right; none of the news outlets mentioned this.

I know it was a REAL big news week, that UN who-ha and all, but seems to me that someone should have said something.

No story, huh?

Except that it’s been in the WSJ, Bloomberg, Reuters, the New York Daily News, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, among others.

Check Google News before the next time you complain a story is being ignored by the liberal media.

By the way, Tom DeLay’s corruption is a lot more significant than just some donor no one’s ever heard of, being that he was, you know, Speaker of the House.

And as for the comparison to Jack Abramoff, fraudulently applying for a loan is not nearly as bad as Abramoff’s multiple crimes, which have so far resulted in the convictions of 11 people, among them two congressmen.
