The Medium Lobster Reaches the Bottom of the Slippery Slope (Jun 15 2004 15:59 GMT) - Only the Medium Lobster carries the arguments for torture through to their logical conclusion: Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog.: The Medium Lobster has been disquieted of late at by the latest round of Iraq torture scandal news. There has been much uproar - among that irritating minority which have not been studiously scrutinizing the week's top story, the beatification of Ronald Reagan, at least - regarding the powers of the president and the incompatibility of torture with a liberal democracy. |

The Newdow 'Pledge' Supreme Court Case (Jun 15 2004 15:58 GMT) - I'm sure everyone knows by now that the Supreme Court rejected Mr. Newdow's petition to have the words "under God" stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance. I'm sure that everyone also knows that the reason had nothing to do with the merits of the case, the court instead decided that Newdow didn't have standing to file the case. I think the justices of the Supreme Court are shirking their duties here. I don't even particularly care whether they decide that having "under God" in the pledge is constitutional or not, I just want them to stand up and decide. |

I am from Eastern Europe and the banking system is very slow and expensive. Last year I started working with affiliate programs. Getting the commission revenue in here it takes long and sometimes the money are not getting where they supposes to. I want to know if any of you can point me to some offshore banks that can make my work easy. |

abel : Natacha et Audrey (Jun 15 2004 15:57 GMT) - [L'Abel de qualité : tout est là] Natacha et Audrey La semaine passée a réveillé des sentiments d une tendresse profonde pour Natacha (cf. ici, ici, et ici). Dans la nuit du samedi au dimanche, après six jours d un beau travail effectué au sein d une équipe, elle me ramène en voiture chez moi.

My Fantasy (Jun 15 2004 15:56 GMT) - Snuggled in bed and thinking of youVisions of you gazing into my eyesA slight smile sneaks upon my faceMy eyelids feel like weights and I soon drift away…(The room turns black…)(I hear your laughter)A beam of light cuts through the roomI see the tiny dust particles follow the lightLeading me to your beautiful graceI look into your mesmerizing eyesCapturing me, pulling me closer and closerLike the force of a magnet just dragging me inSurrounded in darkness except the light that you give offI feel the heat as you drift closer to me…The knots in my stomach twisting tighter and tighterMy heart racing faster and fasterSuddenly you close my eyes…The room has darkened… |
