Protesters have clashed with police at a largely peaceful anti-globalisation rally in the German city of Rostock.
Rocks, bottles and sticks were thrown at riot police, who used tear gas and batons to try to disperse the crowd.
A police spokeswoman described it as a "massive assault", but it only involved a small portion of the estimated 30,000 people who had joined the rally.
They are protesting against next week's G8 summit of leading industrial nations in Heiligendamm, 25km (16 miles) away.
More than 160 groups of anti-globalisation activists, left-wing groups, students and anarchists had been taking part in the march.

Lawrence B. Wilkerson, the U.S. Army colonel who was Powell’s chief of staff through two administrations, said in little-noted remarks early last month that “neocons” in the top rungs of the administration quietly encouraged Taiwanese politicians to move toward a declaration of independence from mainland China — an act that the communist regime has repeatedly warned would provoke a military strike.

Just proves the theory that when you've got trillions of dollars to throw around it's easy to buy rimjobs.
Linda, if you're here, Wilkerson is one of the few inside the borg with the integrity to speak the truth.
If you youtube Wilkerson, you'll find a 45 minute or so lecture wherein he exposes the corruption and futility of the mic and the wingnuts. Just goes to show there are remnants of sanity. We need to reward them. Not surprising they try to marginalize him like they do everything which threatens their criminality.

He loves to cuss, gets a jolly when a mountain biker wipes out trying to keep up with him, and now we're learning that the first frat boy loves flatulence jokes. A top insider let that slip when explaining why President Bush is paranoid around women, always worried about his behavior. But he's still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can't get enough of fart jokes. He's also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that.

An initiative to give new fathers extra time at home with their babies was under attack last night after it was revealed that by the government's own estimates only 4% of men may take up the offer.
Family campaigners said the admission showed that government attempts to address work-life balance were being undermined and were no longer a priority.
In theory, 239,000 new fathers can take advantage of the move to spend up to six months on paternity leave. But figures drawn up by the Department of Trade and Industry show ministers expect only 10,000 men will benefit, because many are not entitled to leave or cannot afford to take more than the statutory two weeks around the birth.
Truth is all we are asking for. The whole real truth, not someones' version of their "truth."
How can we get anything done when the media will not TELL THE TRUTH? When they repreat lies and never present the the other side, the TRUTH side of the issue??
Honestly, all I want is truth. If it is bad for Dems, fine, but truth will set us free.

It is obvious that Bush has someone typing into his podium moniter "A bird just shit on your left arm!"(Got to be most trusted flack Karl Rove. You see him responding to reading that he has bird shit on his sleeve with a grimmace and then repeatedly wipes it away with a goofy grin.
