Contempt

In a broadcast on French radio Jose Manuel Barroso, the President of the European Commission and former prime minister of Portugal, said that some British politicians had recently said to him, “If we had the euro, we would have been better off." He claimed the current poor economic situation had emphasised the importance of the euro to the UK, although he added he believed a move would not take

Does anyone else notice what's going on in our nation right now? Has anyone else out there reached the same troubling conclusions that I have? This VP debate moderator bias scandal -- and it most certainly should be called a scandal -- is just the latest example of the Democratic Party's ability to ride roughshod over the rights of the American people. Here is the typical scenario: The Democrats

I thought the flavor of McCain's recent ad campaigns seemed familiar. Looks like his campaign is now primarily being run by W's old campaign staff....From the WaPo:a handful of McCain's longtime allies -- including his closest aide, Mark Salter, and two former lobbyists, Rick Davis and Charlie Black -- continue to hold senior posts in his campaign, many of his advisers from his first presidential

A deranged R.Kelly supporter was arrested last week for shouting "Free R.Kelly" at jurors as they stepped off an elevator near the courtroom. The lady "Debra Triplet",48 was charged with contempt and a bail was set at $50,000 dollars. Lets hope that this trial doesn't turn out all the circus freaks like the Jacko trial. If there is justice i hope it comes in form of a castration. In Saudi Ara

There’s a story in today’s Des Moines Register that should become the focus of a national firestorm and the touchstone of a national debate. The byline: Jane Norman, of the paper’s Washington bureau; the headline: “Harkin: McCain ‘too military’”. Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s family background as the son and grandson of admirals ha

(Dalia)Itzik said "it is not a moral question in any sense. Both the tent and the house should be destroyed. She added that she had turned to Attorney General Menahem Mazuz, asking him to examine the legal possibilities. A politician with courage. Usually those two words don't appear in the same book let alone the same sentence. That is, unless it's an attack on the politician's lack of courage.

This is Christopher Hitchens on Free Speech. This is the tail end of twenty minute speech given in Canada in November 2006. The reason I am posting this video here is because I would like to point out that Hitchens does not advocate hating Christians, Muslims, or other religious people. It is religion itself that he says should be hated. I think that hating individuals because they are infected with religious delusion is just as bigoted as hating people who are infected with a disease, or who are ignorant, or who are mistaken about something. I left Christianity when I figured out I had been duped by an ancient, well supported, propaganda campaign machine. I was angry about it. I felt deceived and cheated. But feeling anger, in my mind, is not hatred. When Christians try to evangelize me,

Ahmed Restaurant11349 S Orange Blossom TrOrlando, FLWhere is it?From the main entrance, traverse the length of the cooler counter (filled with frozen foods and other takeout goods) that runs along the right-hand wall until you hit the back wall. From there, look for a three-dimensional American flag with a bald eagle sticking out of it that's hanging above a closed door. Go through the door, which will bring you to a long, spacious, stretching hallway that extends all the way to the back of the restaurant and is filled with colorful large-canvas art.Ironically enough, the doors to the bathroom are found immediately on the right after passing through the door, so there's no need to go down that hallway, even if you feel like you should.What's it like?The restaurant itself is spacious, modest, homey and relaxing, and the place serves some of the best Indian food and kabobs in town.But the bathroom is a very small place indeed, with barely enough room to fit the toilet, sink and other

Amita Legazpi of GMANews.tv reported on Bedol’s “failure” to post bail, will spend night at the Comelec instead of the Manila city jail all because the commissioners “failed to meet” on the specified time for the bail motion consultation. It seems that the uproar by some solons on the “light” (do they want a death penalty for indirect contempt?) sentence may just trigger another “angry” stance

A federal judge yesterday abruptly dismissed a Louisville lawyer's demand that Jefferson County Public Schools leaders be held in contempt and jailed unless they could prove students weren't still being denied a school choice because of race.In a sharply worded ruling, Chief U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II chastised attorney Teddy Gordon, who successfully challenged Jefferson County's student-assignment policy."Defendants need not respond to such an outrageous motion, couched in such unprofessional language," Heyburn wrote in a ruling that was issued before school district lawyers even had a chance to respond.This week, Gordon filed a motion asking that an estimated 2,800 Jefferson County students assigned for the 2007-08 school year be given the option to attend different schools because they had been denied their school choice because of race.Gordon argued that failing to do so violated the Supreme Court ruling, and he asked that school board members and administrators be h

SYDNEY rugby fans are set to be shortchanged again with South Africa selecting a second-string squad for their Tri-Nations Test against Australia on Saturday week. The Springboks’ action comes after local fans recently had to shell out up to $99 a ticket to watch a weakened Wales side. It has led incoming Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O’Neill to launch a strong attack on South Africa, saying its decision was "simply not in the spirit of the game". more…

White House contempt - The HillExcerpt:"House Judiciary Committee Democrats warned yesterday they would pursue a contempt of Congress motion if the White House fails respond to subpoenas for testimony and documents related to the firings of U.S. attorneys last year.The deadline for a response is Thursday, June 28. If the White House does not comply, it opens the possibility of a constitutional showdown between the two branches. In an ironic twist, the Department of Justice (DoJ) would be called on to enforce the contempt motion."http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/white-house-contempt-2007-06-22.html

Men at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping. Job 12:5 Ain’t it the truth, Lord! When we have never walked a mile in the other bloke’s moccasins, it’s so easy for us to blame him for the roughness of the road. So often I’ve heard well-meaning Christians say that the sick aren’t healed because they don’t have enough faith. Or that the poor are poor because they don’t know how to handle money. Or that just about anyone who is having a rough time is going through it because he/she is out of Your will. Yet, Lord, as I read Your Word, it seems to me that some of Your choicest saints suffered, sometimes terribly. And, as I look around the world today, I see the same thing: those who are most passionate for You, who are most on fire with Your Word and most bold in their witness, are the ones who are most likely to face persecution from man and fierce opposition from the demonic realm. It seems that the kind o
