Iraq Veterans Against the War

Iraq Veterans Against the War: "As many of you already know the Republican National Convention is almost upon us and IVAW plans on making our presence felt. We hope to have speakers spread out to the numerous marches and rallies showing opposition to this horrible war. To do this however we need funds. Our members are scattered across the United States and since they have just left military service can not afford to travel to NYC on their own. Please help us bring the troops home and end this brutal war."

Hillary Rodham Clinton

The Times-News Online: "The highlight of day was, a popular Clinton here is Bill's wife. Sen.Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a speech urging the delegates to support Kerry on the grounds that there are probably worse candidates,and adding. I am definitely available for 2008. Rumor has it -- and if we can't believe rumor,what CAN we believe?"

Well you heard it here! Hillary's throwing her hat in the ring for - 2008 elections!! I always felt she would run for President, and always believed she should. If she does, she will change history as we know it. Hey maybe she will ask, Barack Obama, to run with her never know what could happen. She would be: First female President in History!!... You Go Girl.

Employees' Pay to Performance

Washington Post: "Group Backs Tying Employees' Pay to Performance, With Reservations. A coalition of 30 professional and managerial associations has endorsed the goal of more closely linking the pay of federal employees to how well they do their jobs. In a five-page paper released yesterday, the Coalition for Effective Change announced support for an overhaul of federal compensation, including the possibility of moving white-collar employees off the 15-grade General Schedule, which dates back to 1949, and into pay systems that give agencies more discretion in setting salaries,the coalition said employees who are performing in a satisfactory manner should receive,the minimum,those who don't!- won't."

Think it's about time we start paying all these White-collar workers and government position holders for what work they do. How many times have you went into a office and you needed help for something and they were chatting with a co-worker and ect., and made you wait. Or you had to wait on them to complete some paper-work you gave them because they didn't feel it was a big deal to hurry it in.

washingtonpost.com: "If you think today's teenagers are difficult to live with, consider Tyrannosaurus rex, which at age 15 was gaining about 4.6 pounds per day -- 1,679 pounds per year -- and not from gobbling peanut butter sandwiches. Life was almost certainly a picnic -- all the time:To maintain a high growth rate, these animals would have to eat a lot.' An adult T. rex would have had a five-foot-long skull and 50 teeth. Six-member team that used seasonal rings in T. rex bones to determine the legendary carnivorous rate of growth ultimate teenage growth spurt.Bones from seven of the world's 30 known T. rex specimens, including the Field Museum's own Sue, to determine how fast body mass increased at various ages. They found that T. rex weighed about a ton at 13 but about a year later embarked on a four-year growth binge, to reach about 4.5 tons by age 18, after which it began to level off to an adult weight of around about six tons by 20. Estimated T. rex's life span at 30 years."

Martha Stewart's Plea Letter To The Judge

The Smoking Gun: "This is the letter Martha Stewart wrote to the federal judge who sentenced her today to five months in jail and five months under house arrest. Stating that she was "abysmally confused and ill prepared for...The next step in this process," Stewart told Judge Miriam Cedarbaum that, while she planned to appeal the jury verdict, "I am dreadfully sorry that the perception of my conduct has caused my family, my friends and especially my beloved company so much damage." Stewart closed by informing Cedarbaum that, "my hopes that my life will not be completely destroyed lie entirely in your hands."

Here is a women who has spent years being self-centered in her life,and now, she is begging for some one to feel sorry for her. She just makes me so mad, she must really think she is somebody special if she don't think she should go to prison. I think she should of got a lot more then what she did get. As far as I am concered, if she wouldn't of had all the money she did, she may of got what she should of in the first place. Go to my other two articles on Cassie Jones and read them and see what she got for just telling a witness "to get out of her way and touching her arm" she got 10 yrs. And she is 19yr.and a mother too. So I don't want to hear about, how poor Martha got the shaft. Sorry for the anger mode here click on the link above and read the letter she wrote to the judge and tell me what you think, also go read the other story's about Witness intim. & petition for cassie, and tell me who you think got the short end of the stick..Thanks
