Just some things off the top of my head: -Living Room Casino: you'll be the
master of all parties with this one. We bought an inexpensive (<$20) 3-in-1 casino set (blackjack/texas hold 'em table on one side, roulette numbers on the other, and a roulette wheel included) at Menard's.

I saw the China 2008 Olympic festival began last night on my television, and immediately turned it off to watch a DVD.

Thats just my opinion, but I thought I'd start a poll to ask how other people here feel about the issue, after ...

whiteness reaffirms my impression that in spite of white clamor for black communities to assimilate completely into American society at least some whites don't believe what they say in public is even possible. Then again, Droop taking issue with Biden'...

I know he wasn't the most political man in Hollywood, at least not that I am aware of, but the great Bernie Mac has died from complications of
pneumonia. After reading about it, I kind of had that feeling of disappointment knowing that there will never be a new Bernie Mac movie. I have always found his characters entertaining; even though his stand up can be a little crude, I have always ...

In August of 2005 I opened a similar topic thusly: QUOTE There are lots of lines of evidence offered for global warming. Chief among these are long term

If Nader was such a big issue back in 2004, shouldn't he be a bigger issue now that he is on the CA ballot? CA is very anti-War and anti-Corporate ? He was only on 34 state ballots in 2004 and this time he might get on 45 state ballots!! Yet the Mainstream (Corporate)
news media is silent? http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation/story/63196 3.html Q. 1) Should the mainstream News media ...
