Apparently Hillary Clinton 'listened to her heart' last Monday while blubbing into her skinny latte. Tony Blair has taken a part-time post with US investment bank JPMorgan. Mr Blair, who stood down as UK prime minister in June last year, has been employed "in a senior advisory capacity", the bank said. It is not known how much JPMorgan will pay him, but some estimates say more than $1m (£500,000) a year. The bank said he had a "unique perspective".It's only half a mill but then we all know part-time work doesn't pay that well.
Not one news story about this week's latest chapter in the administration's ongoing effort to gin up a crazy war with Iran--the so-called "provocation" caused by Iranian naval speedboats approaching within 200 meters of a US destroyer--mentioned that the US, which sits some 7500 miles away from Iran, has sent a whole fully-armed armada into the Persian Gulf just off Iran's coast. Or that the Vice President actually flew out to an aircraft carrier that was part of that US armada, and threatened, from the flight deck, to have the US massively attack Iran. Just who is provoking whom where?
Last year's bundle caused a frenzy in the Mac community, selling over 16,000 copies in a week. This year, we're setting our sights a little higher, with a larger bundle, a two week sale, and what we believe to be a stronger collection of apps. Simply put, this is the best Mac software deal in history.
Bill O'Reilly is offering a rather high-flown explanation for the incident in which he shoved the Obama staffer in order to get access to the Illinois Senator during a rally in New Hampshire: He did it in the name of freedom... ..."I had no choice, ladies and gentlemen, but to uphold the Constitution," O'Reilly says, adding that his zeal to defend the "freedom of the press" explains why he went on to shove the Obama staffer, shout at him repeatedly, and call him a "son of a bitch."
Well I've had six kids and, yes, things have been drooping for quite a while now but even at the risk of a straying partner I'm certainly not shelling out for plastic surgery to provide me with a minor's minge. For one thing, where would I put it?Once you've had your breasts enhanced, your thighs sucked thin, your skin stretched taught over your cheekbones, and your lips pumped full of cow's tissue, what better way to finish off that perfect Barbie doll look than to have your genitals surgically remodelled and your pubic area waxed smooth? And if you're worried that your partner might be tempted to stray because you've had a couple of kids and things have started to sag a bit, what better way to guarantee his fidelity than to transform yourself into a porn queen lookalike with the fanny of a pre-pubescent girl?
Crunchgear:HD DVD’s booth at CES was a sad, sad sight to see. You could tell by the demeanor of everyone working the booth. They knew. Blu-ray’s booth was less than 20 yards away and they were rocking out and people were milling around trying to watch demos, take pictures with Captain Jack Sparrow and the Spartans from 300. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in HD DVD’s camp, but how are they going to recover from Warner Bros. departure?
Allowing people to spend their own money on their own treatment will not destroy the NHS: it’ll destroy a particular vision of it, for sure, but that vision of it is one in which you get only what the Government thinks you should, not what you might actually want...So why shouldn’t I be allowed, even encouraged, to top up my treatment from my own money? Well, except for the point that it is better that we be dead and equal than alive and unequal?
