      James, How about mentioning me and my presidential campaign,it would be VERY nice!BTW, here is the current status:

      $PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT$ As of 3/21/08, ALPHAGNOSIS has OFFICIALLY become the Vice Executive Manager and has replaced bronxbomber! I fired bronxbomber as he was being a VERY bad Vice Executive Manager, and I felt ALPHAGNOSIS could just handle the job better! ranchhand was fired as of 3/20/08, because he was also following the footsteps of bronxbomber. STONERS is leading effectively, and ENGINEER is also doing fine. ~I am still looking for more, message me if you are interested~

            Good article James, but you just hit the extremely high spots. Maybe the economic meltdown will get mentioned next week.

              What is wrong with the pastor's comment? What he said was true, how can you expect the God of all creations to bless America while she is waging unjust wars just because she has all the weapons and money? America has been in the killing business ever since she started killing 6 million native Indians to establish the country called America and Israel is the 53 rd state of the USA, where Israel is supported by the US to kill Palestinians for the last 60 years. Which mentally ill people believe that Almighty, merciful and just God will choose an arrogant and impious people to kill innocent people and drive them away from their homes and make them refugees for the last 60 years? Pastor is in fact telling the truth, people with conscience should curse America for continuing to kill people around the world for world dominance and control of the resources of other countries. Now the wealth and power of America are a curse to the world instead of being blessing to the world.

                          Star, its how the media is portraying him because anyone who is black then want white people to be scared of him for some reason.
