Daily News

I am not sure if you have been following the situation in Pakistan but its become quite intense. Basically, Musharraf declared a state of emergency and has put military rule in place. The issue really is that Musharraf is both the head of the army and the prime minister of the country. This is at conflict because at any point if he doesn't get what he wants as prime minister, he could just use the army and become a dictator. So they were supposed to have elections for prime minster but now he has delayed those and is using his army. There is another character, some lady Bhuto and I have yet to grasp exactly the whole situation but they claim that Musharraf is scared that he will not get elected...but yea perhaps you can understand a bit better for yourself... http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1681115,00.html

And then also I am sure you have heard about oil prices hitting crazy new highs.... http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1681362,00.html
it really is a major issue for our generation and one that we need to address soon. its really connected to world peace and stuff also because the middle east conflicts are all really just over oil...

A man bought a parrot. After bringing it home he found that it used foul language. He tried for weeks to correct the bird. Finally, the man decided to take stern action. He locked the parrot in a cabinet for a week. The bird cursed the whole time. Frustrated, the man put the parrot in the refrigerator. He stood close by because he didn't want to harm the bird. The bird cursed for two hours straight. The man removed the parrot from the refrigerator, let it recover a bit and placed it in the freezer. Within a minute the parrot became silent. The man opened the freezer door and the parrot stepped out. The parrot said, "I'm very sorry and I'll never curse again. Will you please forgive me?" The man did. The parrot then said, "I have one question." "Go ahead," the man said. "What did the turkey do?" the parrot asked.
