| Article Title :: Colin Powell`s "James Bond" |
| |
|
Colin Powell is a good story teller!
"He hid the weapons of mass destruction in all sorts of odd places. But we saw him hide it. We took photographs. We recorded discussions. We saw his links with terrorists. It is the most evil empire on earth right now. And he must be stopped!"
This story-teller is not some fiction writer. Or some movie star from Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world. And the scene is far removed from Frankenstein territory. But this story-teller is a former war general turned American Secretary of State named Colin Powell. The scene is the floor of the great United Nations, which some folks who have a bad sense of humor call Talking Nations. Th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 2 Moms and a War |
| |
| "No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology."
- Ronald Reagan
One would think that Reagan's remarks left little room for a mother to tolerate the death of her son in a "war of choice". Furthermore, based upon his words, one would think that he would wholeheartedly support the inquiries and protest of the mother of a soldier who died in a war based on malleable and questionable rationales.
One would think so... that is, if one chose to think.
For Reagan's alleged "conservative" disciples, the opposite seems to be true. Because Cindy Sheehan has not accepted an illusory WMD threat, Bin Laden links, spreading freedom and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The reasons for my low self esteem |
| |
| I have had many confidence issues in my life, all of which I have either dealt with or overcome. I have written about some of these issues below.
1. The Bald Patch
2. My height
3. My weight
4. The stutter
5. My lack of belief in myself
6. My career
THE BALD PATCH
Even though to some people it may seem trivial, I was born with a bald patch the size of a ten pence piece. As I went through childhood and especially the teenage years I became more and more self-conscious and paranoid about it.
It was especially noticeable when it rained or when I went swimming as my hair would become wet. People at school would ri (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 5 Tips To Keep Happy ... Even In Wartime |

Frankenstein foods are flooding the market, cleverly masquerading as innocent potatoes and beets. And everybody is planning a war.Sadam wants to unleash unspeakable biological evils. George Bush II wants to unleash unimaginable military might. Germany and France want to just unleash. North Korea ... need I say more? India and Pakistan want to run a nuclear relay race, and worst of all we won't even know who the good guys and bad guys are supposed to be. And I know why my Israeli friend moved back to New Jersey.

| Article Title :: Hurricane Katrina – IRS Waiving Diesel Fuel Penalties |
| |
|
Obviously, the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina has had a major impact on fuel supplies. The IRS is temporarily waiving regulations that ban the sale of certain diesel fuels to address shortages.
Dyed Diesel Fuel No Longer Banned
Diesel fuel comes in two general forms, clear and dyed. Dyed diesel is not environment friendly. Under laws passed by Congress, the IRS effectively bans the sale of dyed diesel fuel for use on highways. Put another way, the trucking industry must use clear diesel for transports.
In the wake of serious fuel shortage issues caused by Hurricane Katrina, the IRS is immediately waiving the tax penalties applicable to the use of dyed diesel on highway (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Chat with Saddam |
| |
| He never did say why he chose to call me, but for the past few months I have enjoyed some rather lively chats with Saddam. He said he has been wanting to speak to America and the rest of the world and he should only have to call one of us. He said he could have published his thoughts on the Internet, but he prefers the give and take of conversation. Our early conversations were personal enough, Saddam did not want them recorded or published, so I agreed to keep that between us. The transcript that follows is from a recent chat we had and Saddam requested I record and publish.Ed: Hi Saddam, what is happening with you lately?Saddam: Things are great! It is much less stressful (read full article) |

Article Title :: A Cheap Holiday in Other People's Misery
(catching up wit |

| One of my favourite pieces of music is the Sex Pistols' classic'Holidays in the Sun' - a song that begins with the line, 'acheap holiday in other people's misery'. This would have made afitting epitaph for my holiday in Israel, except that the $3000air ticket meant that it wasn't exactly cheap.I went to Israel full of apprehension. Just knowing what we allknow of the backdrop of paranoia and pain that hangs over thatland is enough to make anybody apprehensive, but I also wentcarrying a dark secret - that I was a friend of MordechaiVanunu's, and I was nervous about the reaction I'd get shouldthis truth suddenly become public.My friend Morde (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Clear Direction After Election Day |

| Like everyone else, I was confused by the vast contradictions of the exit polls and the actual results of this election. If I were the news stations, I would want my money back. For all the excitement, waiting and tension, somehow I fell asleep at 10:30. When I woke up at midnight, I was like "Oh hell, here we go." Then, this morning I felt a little better about it. I don't think this will drag out for another couple of months. My sympathies to those who worked so hard for Kerry. They really did, but I think the reality is that the country is going in a clear direction. I was surprised, but it's pretty much in plain view. America is moving to the right.
