| China can build things. Why can't India?
Doing a Chinese style makeover would throw the country into chaos. China is experiencing the biggest mass migration in history, but trying that in India would result in big problems and civil unrest. China can politically afford to ignore the "rabble"; India doesn't have that luxury. India will have to take longer to transform itself than China. .

I received a very nice email letter from Brewster Selectman, Ed Lewis, declaring his support for the Cleon Turner's re-election. Besides mentioning the $10 million in increased funding that Cleon spearheaded through the legislature for regional schools, Mr, Lewis goes on to say-"It is the opinion of many individuals in and around town government that Cleon has been the most committed legislator to ever represent this district. He has communicated well with the local town administrators and the local boards and kept every promise he has made regarding his ability to get special legislation passed that benefited our area." Well, too late, Kerry Healey has found out that she did a fantastic job at sending negative perceptions of her into the stratosphere.

Sure, sure, it's all been done before, but now I get to do it. Without further ado, here is my all-name team. 20 - Rod Smart - Who the Hell is Rod Smart you ask? Well he is none other than the fool who called himself "He Hate Me" and pretty much epitomized the debacle that was the XFL. 19. Elbert L. "Ickey" Woods - Running back his entire carreer for the Bengals. Hey, how many guys not named Humpty Hump have a dance named after them. The Ickey Shuffle remains high on the all time celebrations list. 18. "Chocolate Thunder" Darryl Dawkins - Perhaps more appropriate for wrestling or porn, but still has a nice ring to it. 17. "Pistol" Pete Maravich - LSU grad was a known practicioner of yoga, a part time ufologist, and could also play a little basketball. Died of a heart attack in 1988 at a young age.
Obama Trounces Clinton in Wisconsin and Hawaii to Make It Ten in a Row
Does Michelle Obama dislike America? That is the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo." Not as much as the neoconBushcultists, it turns out. By April, it will be "Does Michelle Obama HATE America?" During the summer, we'll be treated to "Why Do the Obamas hate all of white America and most Latinos, too?" In the fall, it'll be, "Does Obama hate America so much, he's planning to rename it New Africa?" Hell, McCrazy is already accusing the Dems of pre-genocide… .
Indy – The Tease Begins
This May sees the release of Indy IV or, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to give it its full, hoarding-filling name. And you thought Quantum of Solace was a mouthful? With the whip-cracking adventurer making his way back to the big screen, the revealing of the first snippets was only a matter of time... And it was 2pm yesterday to be precise. After a quick premiere on American breakfast TV, the trailer went live on the internet. Things start with a quick recap on Indy's previous adventures before the (much older) Jones comes into view. With the sun behind him, that hat goes on, that familiar silhouette is cast... and then THAT music kicks in. Brilliant. After that it gets frantic. The whip is clearly in evidence, Shia LaBeouf looks like he's going to be busy as, we assume, a young Indy protoge, and Cate Blanchett looks suitably icy as the villainess.
Mesa centers will offer retail, office, living
Together, the proposed Red Mountain Commons, Val Vista Retail Center and another unnamed center will bring to market nearly 800,000 square feet of space, roughly the size of a regional mall. At 427,000 square feet, Val Vista Retail Center, planned at the southeast corner of Val Vista Drive and Thomas Road is by far the largest of the three developments. Plans call for an undetermined anchor store, such as a JC Penny or Target. "We're out there right now combing the earth for potential anchors at this point," said Charles Carlise, president of Phoenix-based De Rito Partners Development, which is buying the property. De Rito is also planning several smaller "junior" anchors, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet, and smaller, infill retail stores.

Still, anything concerning an afterlife remains only speculation and a matter of beliefs including those of Jesus. For me, life on earth is enough of a living hell without the prospect of being plunged into the eternal flames of the "lake of fire" when I die. And no one sensitive to the amount of human suffering throughout the world can fail to understand my thought on the subject. Sure, I can hope this is only purgatory rather than hell; that the evil I have done will be purged here rather than being consigned to the fiery pit and I may yet rejoin loved ones and friends in a heavenly hereafter. But as I said, no one has come back from the other side to either assure or condemn me, and I consider religious people of whatever belief system pontificating on the subject to be delusional at best.
