The Swiss-based multinational food company, Nestle, has apologised to Azerbaijan after a free gift attached to a breakfast cereal backfired.
The CD-ROM featured information about countries around the world but the data on Azerbaijan caused outrage there.
It said that Azerbaijan had started a war against neighbouring Armenia and that the hotly disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh belonged to Armenia.
Nestle has withdrawn the cereal and promised to seize the offending CDs.

Derby day, and no one has mentioned Barbaro.
That was a subject last year as I recall.
Some dickweed tried to say the war in Iraq was more important.
The "Mission Accomplished" sign was put up by the crew of the aircraft carrier that had successfully accomplished their assigned mission and was steaming home.
The writers at the New York Times, like all other liberals that have never served a single day in the military, seem to have no clue about the difference between what a "mission" is and what a "war" is.
Then why did Rove and Libby paddle out to the carrier beforehand with a bulky, secretly-wrapped package aboard their swank canoe?

We take our recyclables to the "convenience center" (e.i., dump).

Apparently Fandorin gets married (again) or at least heavily involved with a woman in Japan, and picks up the manservant (not to mention knowledge of ninja techniques) we see in "The Death of Achilles". For reasons unclear Bromfield hasn't gotten around to translating that one, yet...

The writers at the New York Times, like all other liberals that have never served a single day in the military, seem to have no clue about the difference between what a "mission" is and what a "war" is.
The freeper writing this has no clue at all how these things work, and has obviously not been in the military or they would understand how these things work.

Civil War cannonball kills Virginia relic collector
CHESTER, Va. (AP) - Like many boys in the South, Sam White got hooked on the Civil War early, digging up rusting bullets and military buttons in the battle-scarred earth of his hometown.
As an adult, he crisscrossed the Virginia countryside in search of wartime relics - weapons, battle flags, even artillery shells buried in the red clay. He sometimes put on diving gear to feel for treasures hidden in the black muck of river bottoms.
But in February, White's hobby cost him his life: A cannonball he was restoring exploded, killing him in his driveway.

Union and Confederate troops lobbed an estimated 1.5 million artillery shells and cannonballs at each other from 1861 to 1865. As many as one in five were duds.
Some of the weapons remain buried in the ground or river bottoms. In late March, a 44-pound, 8-inch mortar shell was uncovered at Petersburg National Battlefield, the site of an epic 292-day battle. The shell was taken to the city landfill and detonated.

People are forgetting that when Bush decided to give that speech, his team was actually in an embarrassing pickle in Iraq. Saddam had vanished into thin air along with all his henchmen, and none of the military people or the State Department people had cue cards for that. Oh, and all the Iraqis they were telling that Chalabi was their next "President" were just giving them looks of horror.
Bush decided to change the focus from the "WTF now?" on the ground in Baghdad with the 'Mission Accomplished' speech. He succeeded at changing the focus, that's true. Not the state of WTF???...which has now lasted five years....

I worked across the street. After the first plane hit we evacuated the building. I had to walk down 24 flights of stairs. I was watching the North Tower burn when the second plane hit. I turned to run away and broke my ankle.
And this is why I love NY. Everyone was running away and there I was on the ground unable to get up. An orthodox Jewish guy and a Chinese guy were running like bats out hell. They both looked at me sprawled on the sidewalk, and looked at each and sighed. You could see from their expressions their identical thought. "Well, shit, I guess we *have* to help her. The Asian guy stayed with me all the way to the hospital.
I left the hospital, untreated, cause they wouldn't let me stay on the ground floor. After the second Tower crashed I decided we were under attack and started heading for my mom's, about three miles away, facing the East River.

Katie Couric apparently slept with a Kentucky Derby horse. She described the relationship a "colicky".

Some people say resolute. I say stubborn, inflexible, and rigid.

A real dog.
Oh, I thought you said collie-icky.

We're at the tail end of the equine puns.
Let's put it out to pasture then.
And let it wither away...

How is it possible that ABC News Senior National Correspondent Jake Tapper, who lives and works in DC, does not know that DC has 3 electoral votes because of the 23rd Amendment?
The one that was ratified in 1961.

How long did that take you?
Marcellina
A long time.
Made it though.
Kids & Mr. ql were home in Queens and there was no way for me to get there as traffic was closed off in that area of the city. My mom made me a chicken pot pie in the microwave and served it with Budwiser. My older girl made white russians and linguini al fredo herself, Mr. ql and her sister, figuring WWIII had just started and they might as well live it up while they could.

I haven't seen anyone mention one important thing:
The gas-tax abatement is supposed to be for this summer's driving. The summer season begins in about a month and ends after three more. The election is in NOVEMBER. Summer will be long over.
How is it that people are all caught up in this discussion without noticing that?

We went to Key West and spent a 8 day's, walking, biking, kyaking and didn't drive even once. I guess that could be called a "gas tax holiday"
Hey! Now I have more money to send to the candidate I stand with, Hillary!
