Wow!! I can't believe the players are being denied their careers because they play for ICL. They are not doing drugs, they are just playing cricket. What gives BCCI/ ICC or other cricket boards any right to dictate what players can and should do??
This is Ridiculous with a CAPITAL 'R'.
I see the tech blogs rooting for Apple netbooks. I say apple will not and should not get into the netbook business.
In fact, I say they have already have a netbook. It's called iPhone/ iPod Touch. Serves the same market fairly well. They do not need to design and market yet another device.

Though there are no details on how he is going to achieve many of these goals. Love the fact that he is ambitious in setting his goals, I don't understand the talk that he is trying to do too many things. He can hire enough people to drive these things.
May not be successful or if successful may ruin the country, but the fact that he is actually attempting to do what he said he'll do is impressive.

In 2007 Google Earth sleuths found that four unconnected buildings on the base formed an unfortunate shape when viewed from above: a swastika. The Navy says it's spending more than $600,000 to mask the shape.
How can americans of any color talk about race when things that are not even close to being racist are being called so and the person who says them are vilified.
Remember when Bill Clinton mentioned that Jesse Jackson won twice in SC, he was branded as racist. He might be wrong in his purely political calculation, but racist? how??
NYPost's cartoon, their politics not withstanding, is a insensitive comment on the pet chimpanzee, but how in the world can some one come up with the racist theory?
No wonder that Americans are scared to talk about the matters related to race. Can they afford not to be cowards?

One of the fundamental reason for all this economic mess seems to be 'Gluttony' or 'Over Saturation of Markets'. Needless spending as a driver for growth instead of required spending.
A simple look at the USA how wasteful things are -
Hundreds of car models in tens of auto dealerships in each city.
Couple of huge malls for every few miles. A JC Penny next to a Sears or Kohls. A Macy's next to a Nordstorm. A Best Buy next to Circuit City. Office Max next to Staples. 4 gas stations around 4 corners of major cross streets. You see this everywhere.
More houses built than people could afford for.
More TV Channels than people could ever watch.
A new cell phone, an ipod and a camera every year, leasing a new car every 3 years. You cannot continue this for ever. We should realise the fact that growing for the sake of growing is not sustainable.
Spending on things that increase productivity is good, like adding lanes to decrease commute time and save on gas, building high speed rail, spending on next generation broadband network. Invest in R & D and promote innovation.
Instead of investing in rich countries with saturated prosperity, invest in developing countries like India where major portions of people are still struggling for basic amenities and the productivity is criminally low when compared to the developed world. The clogged streets, flood farming, rotten food for the lack of proper storage, dated weather forecasting and many inefficient processes in every aspect of living. Invest in developing world to lift them up and in turn benefit from their spending by selling stuff to them.
Bipartisan - I'll accept your opinion only if you agree with me.
Transparency - I'll give you the details when you can do nothing about it.
Hope - You can't hope for something if it already happened. (synonyms: Catastrophe)
Lobbyists - Lobbyists minus my friends
Healthy Debate - 'I Won!!'
Too Soon??
"Do not have a strong opinion on things you don't understand."
- Right, tell that to our friends in Media.
