Police fired tear gas and battered thousands of lawyers protesting President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's decision to impose emergency rule, as Western allies threatened to review aid to the troubled Muslim nation. More than 1,500 people have been arrested in 48 hours, and authorities put a stranglehold on independent media.
Quote by will in chicago: Good morning, bloggers! Raine, I have not heard about our President. However, there are several good analysis articles that have run of late. (Check out the UNN Daily Headlines, which are taking shape for today, for some of the articles.) Here is one blog entry that says a lot: Rice Adviser: Pakistan’s Crackdown on Dissent is ‘Small Favor’ That Makes ‘Iraq Look Pretty Good’. It is all about the image, the money and the power for the Bush administrations and its allies. :(
Rice was in Istanbul, Turkey, attending an international conference on Iraq when her attention was shifted to the upheaval in Pakistan. One adviser traveling with Rice saw a silver lining in the rapid turn of events. "Thank heavens for small favors," the official said. Compared to Pakistan, "Iraq looks pretty good." ad_icon

Quote by livingonli: How about invoking the 26th amendment and removing Bush and Cheney on grounds of mental incompetence. Granted, it will be easier to prove for Bush. But, the executive branch is held by a bunch of sociopaths.

Absolutley Tri! I've been saying this for so long now. I'm tired of the excuses.
Let him put in a nutjob recess appointment. At least then it would only be temporary. But, they would have stuck to their guns.
It's like the game has been changed to Cricket, but our "fearless leaders" are still trying to playing by Hockey Rules.
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

That's it. Force a country. Expose Bush for the tyrant that he is. Show the world that he is a wanna be dictator and should be removed from office. NOW!

An interesting thing happened toling this weekend:
Our Director's friend came to see the show for a 2nd time. This guy is absolutely brilliant, is a film director and "knows people." He is currently directing a film for the festival circuit, which my show's director is in. Ok, so I am standing outside chatting and he walks over and says "You should audition for 2nd City in Chicago."
I just laugh. . . Oh, Michael, you're a stitch!![]()
Turns out he wasn't kidding. I know this because when we got to the bar afterwards he came over and said "You know? I wasn't kidding before. If you want to give a shot I can call some people and try to help you out. You've got talent. I wouldn't just say that."
And, he wouldn't. As much as I love the little old ladies who tell me how fabulous I was, they don't know the people that cast Saturday Night Live.

Didn't he already fail miserably at doing sports? How about giving Ben Stein a shot? It would be just as entertaining... :rolleyes2:

You've got nothing to lose by giving it a go. You absolutely will NOT get a shot if you don't try.

Thanks.
You're supposed to have a year of improv experience, which I do not. But, we'll see what happens. I will now wait for them to post the Annual General Audition notice.
