Was flicking through the selection of Yahoos nine pics of the worst dressed and it seems that the poodles have reason to worry now. Their pom poms have been stolen by a Japanese actress in Hollywood.

I’m sure more teenage boys would show up to church.

As long as she doesn’t have to wear what Pell is wearing. Actually, she doesn’t have to wear that much at all…

Funny, she copped a “worst on the Red Carpet” on A Current Affair’s spoiler report. Just goes to show you.

Helen Mirren is a stone fox. Who would have thunk you could put your jubblies on display at 60 and look hotter than everyone else in the room?

Negative points to Charlie Sheen for attacking his hair with a Flowbie.

Are you sure you’re on the right thread here, Sir Henry?

Unless that’s a very subtle way of saying – Angelina Jolie for President!

In the 21st century the US has no option but to push for democracy world wide. This is an about-turn from its previous policy of maintaing stability by propping up dictators and backward regimes across the planet…it’s just what they have to do…I don’t think that Bush et al are in a state of panic about this…

This is a fideist argument completely unsupported by evidence, fact, real world events.

Indeed, I would argue that the people who are currently in charge of US foreign policy, i.e. a far right-wing faction of the Republican Party, allied with big business (a quasi-fascist construct if ever there was one), are not in the least bit interested in democracy except where it serves as a useful propaganda device. Like Peter Foster they’ll say anything to facilitiate policy.

To judge to what degree that element of the Republican Party has a vested interest in democracy we should look to their own bailiwick with myriad instances of unabashed vote machine tampering and wilful disenfranchisement of blacks and hispanics in two previous presidential elections as well as vote buying with “soft” money (illegal campaign funds solicited from big business) then laundered into “hard” money, i.e. cash donations from individuals.
