Bush's BFF - Nicholas Sarkozy's very public holiday on the banks of the Nile with his new girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni, has been criticised by Egyptian politicians.
The French president has been enjoying a holiday with Italian-born Bruni ahead of an official visit which starts this weekend.
But his romantic break - which has been followed by the world's media - has come in for criticism in the Islamic country.
One politician accused the right-wing leader of being party to "official prostitution".

DWD, I'm not sure what UCF's superlatives are, other than being large. Ex-Mrs. Sinf #2 majored in legal studies, which is a pretty good program, but I don't think it's nationally renowned or anything. I believe UCF has a strong engineering program, IIRC. Education too.

Moonbootica, one can only fervently hope that your new employment is not ended untimely after a brief meeting with your supervisor and an unidentified, silent cigarette-smoking man sitting in the corner, in which you are shown fuzzy but identifiable surveillance photos of you and your Mum hugging Muslims outside a mosque.

Sorry, wrong answer.
The point, besides the one on your head, is that it is pointless (except for the person (NTodd) that is trying to bring attention to himself, to make useless or stupid gestures simply for the sake of saying - Look what I did! Aren't I Great!.

All this 'confusion' makes me very suspicious that another election--this one a primary, like the last Iowa caucus--is about to be stolen. One way or another.
An 80-year-old woman who grew up in Kentucky came into the store today, and quietly said that she and her husband were voting for Hillary. They have spent hundreds of dollars and visit about once a month.
She said she finally got it that corporations were killing the country.
Those were her words. She "finally got it."

Texas Prosecutor Apologizes for Messages to His Secretary
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL
HOUSTON — A day after a federal court slip-up exposed intimate office e-mail exchanges with his executive secretary, Texas’ most powerful prosecutor, the district attorney of Harris County, issued a public apology Friday to his family and others.
“I deeply regret having said those things,” the prosecutor, Charles A. Rosenthal Jr., said in a statement. “This event has served as a wake-up call to me to get my house in order both literally and figuratively.”
Mr. Rosenthal’s current marriage is his second. His wife, Cindy, is a retired agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The issue took on immediate political dimensions on Thursday when Mr. Rosenthal, a 61-year-old Republican who has announced he will run for a third term next year, attacked the disclosure of the messages as “bare-knuckle politics.”
The messages, which had been turned over to lawyers in the course of a federal civil rights lawsuit that alleges misconduct involving Harris County sheriff’s deputies, contained Mr. Rosenthal’s professions of love and longing for the woman, Kerry Stevens, with whom he has acknowledged having an affair during his first marriage.
In one message dated Aug. 10, Mr. Rosenthal wrote, “The very next time I see you I want to kiss you behind your right ear.”
A day earlier, he had sent Ms. Stevens an e-mail message saying, “You own my heart whether you want or not.”
An opponent of Mr. Rosenthal for district attorney, C. O. Bradford, a Democrat and former Houston police chief, said “the personal use of government property by government officials” was “totally inappropriate.”

Yes, by finding some other person to run for an office who, hopefully, won't become a whore and cares somewhat about his constituents and the Constitution.
That you, Zod?
As far as the Constitution is concerned, I'm afraid we're seeing a translation, much like the babble did.

I was in Stockholm in '86, a few months after Olof Palme was shot. Still bloodstains on the cobblestones, flowers and candles. Pretty damned moving, even to a 16yo.

I have a hard time getting riled about a candidate's different positions.

It's made me think a lot about a whole lot of stuff.
War-mongering remains at the very bottom of the list, however.
Othrs who could profit from war will have a different point of view, of course.

Back in 1982, I got out of the subway station at the corner of Yonge and Bloor in Toronto, only to see a pool of blood about 10 feet in front of exit.
A few minutes before I had arrived, there was a demonstration of Sihks protesting the treatment of their countrymen back in India by the government there. Someone had jumped out of car and shot one of the demonstrators.
