The star of “Nation of Whiners” Phil Gramm who is a former U.S Senator and Lawmaker from Texas who is also a past presidential candidate have stepped down from his role as a co-chairman for Mccain’s Campaign. This is after his controversial comments on the economy and calling USA a “Nation of Whiners”.
Here is the clip of Phil Gramm’s “Nation of Whiners”:
Here is how the story broke on Countdown, actually it was 2 minutes before the start of Countdown on AP:
I was watching Countdown, and Rachel Maddow is doing a great job while Keith Olbermann is on vacation, anyway, the segment am talking about here is when Rachel showed clips that goes back to 2003 showing how Mccain was always a big supporter of Bush on the Iraq war and not what he claims now that he did disagree with him before. Why do these politicians lie like that don’t they know that there is Internet and people can easily find out the truth? Or are they still thinking that this thing called Internet is a new invention and not many people have access?!
It is being reported that Barcelona and Ronaldinho have decided to take 2 to 3 days to decide where he will go, so it is 100% sure now that Ronaldinho is leaving, I know it seems naive but some people still had hopes that he will stay at Barca. Manchester City is leading as reported by Barcelona themselves stating that the Manchester City’s offer is more “attractive”.
In my opinion if Ronaldinho really wants to play and get better and achieve higher goals he should sign for AC Milan, although am an Inter Milan fan, but am also an Arsenal fan, so to be totally frank he shouldn’t move to Manchester City. If his goal is to go to some club and become pampered and the king and play is minimal effort then Manchester City it is.
When I first read this I imagined I was reading it on the “Football Manager 2008″, its a Football Management game on PC, anyway, if you told me a year ago that this kind of offer was possible I would have laughed hysterically. Now some people think that Barcelona are desperate to land Adebayor, I really doubt that, I think they are desperate to offload Eto’o, and I think Arsenal will take this deal.
I came to know about this from a video made by Congressman Ron Paul, he was talking about a US House of Representatives Resolution (H.CON.RES 362) that requires a naval blockade on Iran. I later came to know that it has been pushed by the American Pro-Israel Lobby. It asks from Bush to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also “demands” that the President impose “stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran.”
To those who do not know, Stumbleupon is a website that allows users to rate websites and share them with their friends and with other users who have the same interests as them. Just by installing the Stumbleupon toolbar on Internet Explorer or Firefox the user sets his interests and by just clicking “Stumble” he will be able to jump from one website to another, so for example if one of his interests is gardening he will come across gardening websites, then he can rate it and like that Stumbleupon will understand what the user likes and dislikes to refine choice of websites to be stumbled.
I have been hearing about it for a while now, but never saw it or thought it is that bad, well for two weeks in a row now the Dubai International City, especially the England side of it, got flooded by sewage. Car parks and roads are all filled and covered with stinking sewage. Only a meter separates the sewage from the entrances of some of the residential buildings in the England area. So the people are driving through the pools of “Sewage”. Of course there are tankers pumping out the water, but they sort of create even more hassle.
What really amazes me is why this was not taken care of while building the city? This is a newly built city, what?! they FORGOT about this thing. I know every time it rains here Dubai gets pools and pools of water in the roads and car parks. But we sort of understand that this is happening in OLD DUBAI, although still not acceptable and should be solved, but this is NEW DUBAI !!!!! I know it is different, but why this was not correctly planned for from the start?!
Olbermann: Sen. Barack Obama is going to suffer political attacks no matter how he votes on the FISA bill but he can still stand on principle and score a political win by promising to take advantage of a loophole in the bill.
Kaz Hirai the president of Sony Entertainment confirmed that the new PS3 will be smaller and quieter, the reason is because of the new 65nm cell processor which will be used rather than the older, more expensive and less efficient 90nm silicon. He also mentioned that they are cutting costs by using a lesser amount of components, and that the plans are set that by autumn the graphics processor of RSX “Reality Synthesizer” which is developed by Nvidia will be changed from 90nm to 65nm.
This was the final of Euro 2008, which has been a fantastic tournament. Everyone was hoping for a thrilling game, with Germany the favorites to win the tournament. Spain had won all their previous games prior to this final, beating Italy in the quarter finals and Russia in the semi finals, so came in to this game on top form. Germany, however, had been struggling a bit in the previous game against Turkey, who they beat with a last minute goal in the semi finals.
Germany soon took control of the game, playing intelligent football and putting together a couple of good opportunities, but around half way through the first half, the game became more open, and slowly Spain began to take control. It was not long after this that Torres jumped higher than the German defenders to head the ball on to the post, with Lehmann well and truly beaten.
