Thought we have one of them threads where articles from papers and other news sources could be posted.
Here's a ready made collection from ABC News and their round up of late night comics:
The Tonight Show Conan O'Brien: President Obama, of course, everyone knows, has invited Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and the police officer who arrested him to the White House for a beer. ... This could be trouble, because the last time Obama got a few beers in him, he bought General Motors.
The Tonight Show O'Brien: You know, the meeting got off to a rough start when a neighbor called the police to say Gates was breaking into the White House.
Stephen Colbert: A president should never get involved in a local, city-specific issue. President Bush never did, no matter how flooded a city got.
The Daily Show
President Obama: Nobody is talking about reducing Medicare benefits. ... Tell your mom nobody is messing with with her doctor.
Jon Stewart: You know a sales pitch is in trouble when it starts with, "Look, you've got to trust me. We're not going to kill your grandparents."
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Jimmy Kimmel: I don't want to say that the president can't hold his liquor, but well, look what happened at his press conference this morning.
Reporter: Would you think your administration needs to be taking a harder line with Wall Street? [Shot of faux Obama slumped over his lectern with a beer in his hand.]
Anyone ever been out fishing big fish, like Barracuda?
If not, get an update on YouTube or similar, see how it is reeled in.
That is the game, give and take, but do not let go, ever.
And still, you will not really know what you've got until it's in your boat. But you will value it, because it was your battle and your victory.
This is a metaphor, even though some great guys can be found on the sea with a pole in their hand, I am not telling to start fishing.
Just learn that give and take, the even temper, the calm but focused being going for the big catch.
A fisherman, he listens to the stories of his pals, what waters they've been sailing, what tools they used and what seasons were best. That way they learn where they need to go and when to catch what is their dream catch.
Sure, they will catch a little spoil in the meantime, but they know what they are in for, out there, somewhere.
She is working long hours too. We have a life together. The shops are way better in Bucharest than ever in here in this little town.
And finally, when we first met, I had a long nights work at the office (time-zones can be a pain in the etc.), I left her with some Swedish currency and told her the general direction of where to best get rid of them.
What happened? When I finally were done and came home, she had more money than when I left.
She had seen that if you take the recyclable PET bottles and drop them into a machine, you get a refund in cash. I had a pile of them in the kitchen (Fanta ), she returned them to that machine, and got bingo.
True, and as I said, I am not knowledgeable enough to even compare the differences between the states in US. But surely, someone must have done that already?
What I am thinking of is if a criminal who already overdid his "duties" out there will be less interested in giving in if he is in a place where he risk capital punishment.
Looking at some of the countries where it actually is outlawed, like Sri Lanka, it did not much good, mostly due to unrest and lacking in other fields, but it shows that removing just the capital punishment is not enough.
