'Mormon' term often misused
It seems like just when the mainstream LDS Church gets some accurate media attention, another "Mormon" story blasts onto the scene, spawning a flurry of sound bites that often confuse those who live outside Utah. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for years has waged a vigorous public relations battle to gets its message across with award-winning TV commercials and well-received interviews of President Gordon B. Hinckley by such television personalities as Mike Wallace, Tom Brokaw and Larry King. Then comes something like this week's arrest of Warren Jeffs, the leader of a secretive polygamist sect that in no way is connected to the LDS Church but considers itself the true standard bearer for the beliefs set forth by LDS Church founder Joseph Smith. Jeffs, who has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, faces criminal charges in Utah and Arizona that center largely around his alleged insistence on presiding over "marriages" between underage girls and older men who practice polygamy.
Tottenham end nine-year jinx in style to book a place at Wembley
Nothing has been lost in translation, there will be no corrections, amplifications, clarifications or hasty adjustments in the stop press. Tottenham scored five goals and Arsenal one: fact. Tottenham were in a different class: irrefutably. The best team won, without a doubt. Go on, pinch yourself. This is no dream, we promise. True, it may only have been half an Arsenal team who lost at White Hart Lane, but it was also half an Arsenal team who contested the final of this tournament last season and came damn close to beating Chelsea at full strength. Whatever gambles Arsène Wenger took last night, he did not expect to lose in such humiliating fashion. No team is comfortable going down by such a mighty margin to its bitterest rival. After such a long period of domination for the red sector of North London, bragging rights accrued from this match will be brutally exercised and Arsenal fans will feel let down.
Mike Luckovich
I am absolutely astonished that Senator Klinton, a leading candidate on the Democrat side, says she wants to surrender in Iraq, she wants to wave the white flag. After all the sacrifice we've made in this surge, which everybody knows is succeeding, she wants to surrender and bring the troops home, and set a date for withdrawal," McCain said. "I have never, never in American history heard of a leading candidate for president of the United States that wants to surrender to the enemy."$$$$ I got to give the guy credit, that was right up her fat as-s. $$$$When the discussion finally turned to the subject of Iraq, both Romney and Giuliani went out of the way to take shots at Hillary Clinton. Romney said it was "audacious and arrogant" for Klinton to have asserted earlier in the week that progress in Iraq is due, at least in part, to the Democrats pressing to get US forces out as quickly as possible.
Republican rivals open final assault in Florida
Look closely. Obama gets house for $300,000 below market value? How many people even have a house in America worth $300,000? He took this money from a slum lord that he himself has said is a friend of over 15 years, but somehow only performed 5 hours of work for during this time? The person is a known slumlord and influence peddler under indictment and is a recipient of over $43 million in taxpayer's dollars in Obama's area for repair of the slums of the poor. And Kennedy and Obama are supposed to be supporters of the poor. Kennedy is no supporter except of Kennedy. He is anti-everything that he could not have (real political power) and pro-anything he thinks he can stir up. Stirring up can be a good thing, I like change, but change to inexperience and a willing recipient of gold from the corrupt are not qualities of a President.
ARMENIA: PLANNED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION EXIT POLL CREATES CONTROVERSY
The United States has offered to organize and finance a first-ever exit poll in Armenia as part of an effort to promote a free-and-fair presidential election on February 19. The initiative has been endorsed by the election favorite, Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian, while causing serious misgivings among his main challengers. The main source of opposition candidatesÂ’ concern is the apparent willingness of US officials to rely on an Armenian polling organization with reputed close ties to the Armenian government. Its pre-election opinion polls have long been criticized as misleading by Armenian opposition and civic groups. Since the Soviet collapse in 1991, most elections in Armenia have been marred by serious instances of fraud, and strongly criticized by Western observers. Western monitors deemed the most recent, parliamentary elections, held in May 2007, to be more democratic than the previous ones, although the divided Armenian opposition again alleged widespread irregularities.
