The moronic rhythm of the same two resolutions was sure to throw me into a seizure. Same promises, year after year, and not even original ones. The same resolutions millions of Americans make, all Mon, 14 Jan 2008 19:00:57 +0000 http://www.mixx.com/stories/62931/down_in_the_dumps_washingtonpost_com thingy_62931 rwp http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/10/AR2008011003137.html Discovery of a lone survivor of an unknown Indian tribe in Brazil set off accusations of murder and a struggle over ownership of one of the world's last great wilderness areas.

Fenty said today that he will fire a division director and at least five other child welfare employees for inadequately responding to warnings that four girls were being held captive by their mother and could be in danger.

Most interesting point I thought was about the restaurant that couldn't sell a bottle of wine until they raised its price to over $100.

You have to start somewhere, and medical research like this is not why "millions of Americans do not have health insurance."

Howard Dully's father should have divorced his stepmother and spent some time with the poor kid after his own mother died of cancer instead of allowing that wretched woman to have a lobotomy done on him. I also didn't realize that Dr Freeman is the one who operated on Rose Kennedy for "mild learning disabilities" and that that was what caused her to be incapacitated for the rest of her life. As the parent of a child with learning disabilities I am just sick at the thought of this going on for so long.

I think it is just too open to negative feedback. Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:13:07 +0000 http://www.mixx.com/stories/62140/website_wins_booby_prize_for_a_great_idea comment_21845
