Who does the president of the USA call when some lowlife Italian hits on your wife?
Right, he calls the most powerful man on earth.
Chuck Norris, naturally, then takes care of him.


If you look at Silvio's face, you might say it was just a warning...

Fragment form the Daily Show: when was the best time?

Just saw a rather ridiculous movie called Zeitgeist, another conspiracy movie. Especially funny is the part where the creator assumes that all ancient languages have the same phonetics as English, and thus Jesus is not the "son", but the sun god. However, later on in the movie an interesting part follows which at least reflects what a large part of the world experiences: the American IMF/ Worldbank closing down schools and hospitals in underdeveloped countries. Brazilian president Lula proudly announced some time back that Brazil had paid of its' debt to the IMF, to the last dime. With the IMF out of the way, Brazil could now start developing itself. Prediction of this movie is that Brazil will "mysteriously" destabilize, forcing the Federal Government to take loans again, and having to follow IMF dictates once more. Globalization and free trade seem to go hand in hand with income disparity and misery.

20 years after the Cold War ended, I came across this footage from an ABC Television movie which key theme is the effects of nuclear war on families and individuals.  Nearly 100 million Americans watched The Day After on its first broadcast in 1983, a record audience for a made-for-TV movie. The film provoked much political debate in the United States and Europe. 
President Reagan wrote in his diary that the film "left me greatly depressed," and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war". In 1987 during the era of Soviet chairman Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika reforms, the film was shown on Soviet television. During the signing of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty at Reykjavik, director Meyer received a telegram from President Reagan that said, 'Don't think your movie didn't have any part of this, because it did.' This short clip is taken from the middle of the movie, as the unprepared population is caught off-guard by events. Profoundly disturbing.

Having won the Tour 7 times, Armstrong made a strong comeback this year. Above a compilation of ITV4 promo's; Cavendish won 6 legs.

The American Cancer Society, assisted by the Center for Disease Control, is trying to increase awareness in the whole of South America.
The fact that we support them seems to suggest that you should too. Yes, with money, not with with a blogpost.
