Stevens found guiilty?

Wonder what kind of spin the McCain crew is going to give this?

And I wonder what, if any, contact Palin had with Stevens? She should really be more careful, him being a convicted felon and all.

Oh, I misspelled your name in my first post and am correcting it in the second.

I make it a point to not edit my posts (long story) , so the correction followed in the second post.

My appologies!

No problem Mike.

I was talking about the expression. I tried the internet, but still cannot get the right meaning... I guess you were talking about the neo nazi thing thing, right?

Kind of obvious that some morons are going to plot against Obama. I hope they get what they deserve...

"A plot by two Neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Barack Obama"

According to Palin/McCain, since Obama is "palling around with terrorists", can you blame them.

Marcio. "How about them apples" is a colloquialism that means "How about that?". It's slight amazement at something one sees or hears.

Thinking about how media in US treats Iraq invasion by US, it reminded me of an old
TV comercial, is one of the 2 TV comercials made in Brazil that are in the list of the
100 best TV comercials ever.

Please watch while you read the translation I made just for you :)

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=R6oWw8O_1_Y&feature=relate d

This man received a destroyed nation
recovered it's economy
and returned pride to it's people
in his first 4 years of government
the number of unemployed fell from 6 million to 900 thousand people
this man made the GDP grow 102%
and revenue per capt to double.
increased the profits of the corporations from 175mi to 5bi
and reduced a hyperinflation to a maximum 25% per year
this man loved music and painting
and when he was young he wanted to follow an artistic career.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO TELL MANY LIES BY TELLING ONLY THE TRUTH

THAT IS WHY YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH
THE INFORMATION OF THE NEWSPAPER YOU READ

FOLHA DE SAO PAULO

THE NEWSPAPER THAT IS MOST BOUGHT
BUT WHICH NEVER SELLS ITSELF

From the 'ATF Foils Obama Threat" link: The two planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14, he added. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

I must have missed a few 'angry white male' meetings, because I find myself bewildered... what's the deal with the numbers 14 and 88? The article mentions that they're symbolic, but not of 'what'.
