Even Politicians Think It?s Wrong!!
2009-09-09 16:09:00 I just came across a Huffington Post article written by someone running for office who just discovered that life settlements didn’t go away in the 1980’s. She was mortified to learn that their city retirement investment pool included what she called “death bonds”. She would probably be even more mortified to know that life settlements ...Post from: Ed Hinerman On Life InsuranceEven Politicians Think It’s Wrong!!
As people flock to conservative/libertarian banner, fewer politicians seem
2009-07-04 08:45:00 In the past month or so, as polls have shown increased public dissatisfaction with President Obama’s policies, revealing that the American people have a predilection for the small government ideas the Republican Party ostensibly champions. I say “ostensibly” because in the past few years (as many have noted), the GOP has lost sight of its ...

People and Politicians of Punjab
2009-06-24 18:21:00 Change of Thinking It is the rule of nature that people come and go but the life goes on its way. Like it people come on the centre stage of every political party, stay there for some time and then disappear with the one blow of fate but political parties keep on their natural business. It is the irony that Congress party that was responsible for Operation Blue Star and anti-Sikh riots has returned to power after 25 years of the Operation Blue Star. Some people have started to say that Sikhs have forgiven Congress for its crimes. Their views are based on some facts. In the Punjab assembly elections of 1992 and 2002 people of Punjab had elected Congress Party to form government in the state. And in 2004 and 2009?s Lok Sabha elections Congress and its allies have been elected to form government in the centre. It must be learnt that in all these elections Sikh voters have voted in favor of Congress party or its allies. Now some people have started to ask the quest...

Has The Time Come For Politicians 2.0?
2009-06-08 06:58:00 If you could go back in time and ask the Twitter founders what they think of their service, they would have told you that it’s a micro-blogging service for friends to communicate with a quick exchange of 140 characters. Ask them now, and they would tell you that Twitter can be used to leverage a business, to get instant feedback and create a buzz that any other media platform can never even dream of. And they would be right. No one’s yet sure how Twitter and other social media services are going to have a profitable business model in the future, but like millions of others, I am hooked. And it’s not just me, recent times has seen celebs giving themselves an online voice through social media. Remember the good days of our beloved A.P.J. Abdul Kalam maintaining his official website? And how can you forget the (failure?) online campaign by L.K. Advani during the recent fiasco. The success of Barack Obama’s online escapades on the American shores? Under Obama, the White Hous...

Politicians, I Just Don't Trust Them
2009-05-04 06:00:00 I consider myself to be like most American citizens. Contrary to what the national news media portrays, I believe that most Americans families, while flawed, still retain some core values. I understand that we are on a downhill slide morally and we are losing our children with breaknecking speed; however, I still cling to the somewhat antiquated idea of the quiet, small town American family who leads a typical, traditional life. I don't believe that everyone has a meth lab in their basement. Neither do I believe that most postal workers live with suppressed and untreated psychotic tendencies, just waiting to slaughter unsuspecting patrons and co-workers.No, deep down I hold the conviction that most Americans believe in God ? the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that is taught in Sunday schools around the country. I trust that most Americans want a job, and a home, and a family, and I trust that most of us want to work for those things. I dare say that most Americans hold dear firew...

Sort of like the progeny of South Park and Mad Magazine, or The Daily Show meets The Onion, SuperNews! has been hatched live and raw to expand on that age-old tradition of satire.

Mixed Reactions from Arizona Politicians on Foreclosure Plan
2009-02-25 14:04:00 The proposal of $75 billion foreclosure crisis plan by Barack Obama drew mixed remarks from Arizona politicians. Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, a Democrat, said that Obama’s housing prescription was solid and predicted Arizona will be one of the greatest beneficiaries. He added that Arizona is desperately in need of the kind of lifeline that the president threw out today. Most of the communities in Arizona are in crisis because of large numbers of vacant houses. Goddard said on Wednesday after Obama’s speech in Mesa that most of the home prices have gone down. Rep. Harry Mitchell, D-Ariz., said that he was honored by Obama chose his congressional district to announce the plan. This plan aims to stabilize home values by helping millions of struggling but "responsible" Americans refinance their mortgages, lower their monthly payments and save their houses. But Mitchell said he will wait for more details before deciding whether to support all aspects of ...
Politicians 'ignoring' polygamy
2009-02-20 13:00:00 BBC says,' Baroness Warsi says more needs to be done to prevent polygamy in the UK Cultural sensitivity has prevented politicians from discussing the issue of polygamy in the UK, a leading Muslim peer has told the BBC.

"There has to be a culture change and that has to brought about by policy makers taking a very clear stance on this issue, saying that in this country, one married man is allowed to marry one woman," she added.

During the match between his Knights and the Mumbai Indians in which his knights were R.A.P.E.D, he [SRK] was snapped chain smoking cigarettes openly as his Multi Million $ cricketing team got out for a meagre 67 runs. Now NOTE is crying foul once again over this. Their argument: SRK should instead have behaved like a true sportsman by trying to raise the morale of his team, instead he himself got bogged down himself and smoked in full public view.Personally, I feel that stars like Shahrukh khan are humans themselves and have their own private lives in which they can do what they like, they did not come on this planet with a single purpose of living for the public.
