Someone told him off finnaly

From the BBC

Mr Chavez called Mr Aznar, a close ally of US President George W Bush, a fascist, adding "fascists are not human.
A snake is more human."

Mr Zapatero said: "Former President Aznar was democratically elected by the Spanish people and was a legitimate representative of the Spanish people."

Mr Chavez repeatedly tried to interrupt, despite his microphone being turned off. The king leaned forward and said: "Why don't you shut up?"

According to reports, the king used a familiar term normally used only for close acquaintances - or children.

Love it. This man has been bloviating for a long time. Finnaly someone told him to put a cork in it. I know it will be said that he was a pupet of the US. Any one want to take bets on it.

Let him who is without the first stone.....

An Embarrassment Of Riches:
"When Congress gets involved, however, beware of slippery slopes. These ministries should comply with tax laws. But Senate investigations could go beyond requiring accountability under current law and lead to new IRS regulations monitoring the internal affairs of churches and other religious groups. And that would have far-reaching consequences for the autonomy and freedom of religious communities. Today Kenneth Copeland Ministries, tomorrow your church."

I am not saying that the churches under question have done wrong, or that they are squaeky clean either. Then again, what ministry has not got some misuse under its hat. Mr. Haynes has hit the nail square on the head here. Let the IRS do its job, then step in if and when you have to. Otherwise you are going to open up a can of worms that will not go back in the can easily.

Is it safe to buy books for Christmas presents this year?

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | GHB fears for Chinese-made toys:
"Millions of Chinese-made toys have been recalled in the US and Australia after they were found to contain a substance linked to the date-rape drug GHB. A total of five children were taken to hospital after swallowing tiny beads known as Bindeez in Australia and Aqua Dots in the US. The beads were coated in chemicals which transformed into the banned drug when swallowed."

Well I guess if it says 'made in China' you better not buy it. Cribs are being recalled now also. Crazy
