In a country where free speech allows Bush to give speeches that make us much sense as that guy from the Goonies having actual speaking parts in a movie, our police force is worried about a bumper sticker. Meanwhile, we have people actually breaking written laws. In fact, was the officer tailgating in order to read the bumper sticker?
Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word “talaq,” or divorce, three times in his sleep, according to the report published in newspapers on Monday.
When local Islamic leaders got to hear, they said Aftab’s words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as “triple talaq.” The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.
The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days. Sohela would also have to spend a night with another man and be divorced by him in turn.
And this is where we are sending American jobs???
“Because the — all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There’s a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It’s kind of muddled. Look, there’s a series of things that cause the — like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate — the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those — if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.” —George W. Bush, explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005
Has anyone notice the technological revolution occurring in our society? No, I’m not talking about the internet, or automobile manufacturers, or even the space program.
I’m talking about the cosmetic industries technological resurgence! The number of eyeliner thingies that can create an illusion of having more eyelashes than you actually have. Volume that rivals that of supermodels? Available at Wal-Mart? Kiss me in the morning and just walk away.
And let’s not forget the technological innovator that Gillete has become. They have managed to use fusion (they never specifically say what they are fusing…or maybe I just forget) in creating the best razor that money can buy, ironically called Fusion by Gillette. And here I was thinking it couldn’t get any better than the sports car infused Mach III.
Want fuller lips?? Screw genetics, and surgery. Just get you the newest volume maximising lip stick. It creates lips where before there were none!
Seriously, how is it that the cosmetic industry can just make any old claim they want to and not be checked on it? They all mention ’studies that show’ this or that but they never actually mention the name of the study. Put it on your website, let me get informed, I wanna overstand!
It’s all just false advertising if you ask me. Which you didn’t…directly anyways but by reading this you are….so there!
