Ucant
The University of Conneticut has bowed to pressure from several Israeli funded self interest groups to reconsidedr plans to open up a university branch in Dubai. This is because the UAE does not accept people with Israeli passports into its territory.
I just loved this analogy: Asked if Cuban nationals would be allowed easy access into the United States, Fleischmann admitted that it would be hard "but possible", saying the comparison was not fair.
I dont care that much about the Palestinian issue. But this is funny. It proves one thing, this is a joke. You wail and cry about free trade, and how we should not be socialist and communist, and then you hypocritically allow your corportations to practice ethnic selection. Israel and its lobbies have you by your dog collars, to do with you as they please. No one will take America seriously until it stops taking these people seriously and stops trying to punish its allies.

Liverpool need a ‘keep Kaka quiet' campaign
Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, and footballing miracles of the kind Liverpool enjoyed two years ago in Istanbul, when they came from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan on penalties, are just as rare.
If Liverpool are to survive without another miracle this time, it's obvious they are going to have to find a way of limiting the influence of Kaka.
To do that, Rafa Benitez must consider setting someone to man-mark the Brazilian – a player to dog the Brazilian's every step, to snap at his heels, to obstruct and distract him. Someone fast.

Entertainment Weekly interviews Miyamato
Entertainment Weekly's Geoff Keighley recently conducted an insightful interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in which the two discussed movies, social issues in gaming, waning Japanese interest in the Zelda series, and even Halo.
While everybody else is talking about his ‘I could make Halo' comment (which I think is being taken a bit out of context), I got a far bigger kick out of what went through his mind while watching Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima: “They were very good and thought-provoking films. Although I wanted them to superimpose a little picture-in-picture on the screen so you could see what was happening in the other movie at the same time!''
Who on earth would think of that while being captivated by an intense and contemplative war film? That's why I love Miyamoto — he's unpredictable.
