www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/11/berlusconi-belly-dancer-45000-beauty-centre*quote from article *denied accusations that he paid a teenage runaway for sex. The Italian prime minister said on Monday he gave €45,000 (£39,700) to Karima el Mahroug, a belly dancer who uses the name Ruby, to help her launch a beauty centre, complete with a laser hair-removing machine, so that she could escape a life of prostitution *Berlusconi repeated his claim that he had mistakenly believed Mahroug could be the granddaughter of former Egyptian leader, Hosni Mubarak. He told police so after her arrest to avoid "a diplomatic incident". *. Arriving on Monday for a hearing in his trial for fraud at his TV company, Berlusconi was greeted by a group of 200 cheering supporters bussed in for the day and handed free salami sandwiches.

just when it gets bad.....it seems to get worse! www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/23/syrian-forces-kill-6-in-c_n_852844.html"BEIRUT -- Syrian security forces fired at tens of thousands of people joining funeral processions Saturday after the bloodiest day of the monthlong uprising against President Bashar Assad, bringing the death toll from two days of violence to more than 120 and prompting two lawmakers and a local religious leader to resign in disgust over the killings. The resignations were a possible sign of cracks developing in the regime's base in a nation where nearly all opposition figures have been either jailed or exiled during the 40-year dynasty of the Assad family."

Israel to Christians: Christ is a Monkey on a Cross www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA6vRC1xW_c I want to see if they will do a TV show with the same girl in a bikini openly mocking Allah and Prophet Muhammad as monkey and see how it goes. I bet they would not dare insulting Islam the same as they insult Christians. Go and do this with Judaism. There will be pounding and hollering and calls to racism anti-semitism in all the media worldwide. Double standard if you ask me.

Osama bin Laden is dead Osama bin Laden is dead Osama bin Laden is dead ......gosh it feels good to type that Just finished watching Obama's address - well done Mr. President! Even better - no Americans nor civilians were killed in the effort to capture bin laden! Even more so, America needs to be vigilant and not let their guards down. So my prayers are with my country and the men and women who serve our nation.

Amen! I couldn't even understand my daughter when she came in screaming that Obama had been killed. I don't mean to celebrate anyone's death but a heck of a lot of our men and women have paid the price because he declared war on us. God bless our Seals and the Delta Force - apparently, they were in and out in 40 minutes. Incidentally, Al Jazeera English reported that Bin Laden and his oldest son were killed and that Bin Laden was using his youngest wife as a human shield. COWARD! They shot her too...along with two operatives in the compound. Supposedly this is just a mile or so away from the Pakistani military academy. I was a little miffed when one of the Al Jazeera reporters said that they had given us a "great gift" in hopes of better relations. The crowds outside of the White House, in NY and even here in Houston (in several places) were quite large. It's late in the evening on Sunday (now Monday morning, just after midnight) - most people don't even know. Wait till people hear in the morning.

Talk about Karma! Also concerning 9-11, Osama bin Laden was the real evil mind behind it instead of Sadam Hussein that GW Bush went after - just because it was easier to attack Iraq and Sadam.

Incredibly sad to hear of a deadly earthquake in a part of Italy I visited moons ago, Pescara or more precisely Silvi Marina but I did visit neighbouring and pretty Pescara. The nicest people live there and the beaches on the Adriatic Sea are superb. I hope they recover in spite of losing landmarks. Courage.
