"reminiscent of Austria’s Josef Fritzl......."

I haven't heard anything on this before.....I-Desk is a step ahead of me.

"She’s faced criticism that she is getting preferential treatment."

Unlike rest of Hollywood stars, these people are doing good stuff. But seems like people always able to find something scandalizing anyway.

Concerning the North Korean rocket launch – not yet on your blog but widely discussed on I-Desk

There is no difference whatsoever between a rocket with a satellite on it and one with a weapon. They are both missiles. What matters is 1) does it work and 2) what is the payload (weight) it can launch into orbit or send intercontinentally (ICBM.) There is no reason to misinform the public or to induce hysteria. North Korea is only beginning to be able to fire a long range missile and its current payload capacity is hardly big enough to launch a morse code set, let alone a clumsy "atomic" (the first North Korean bomb was, at best, a fizzle) weapon that probably weighs as much as WW II's Hiroshima bomb. Just observe and learn , don't feed their hunger for publicity.

Just I don't get it. American people have not been paying for every American's contrivance. This is a whole new ballgame.

Hello,
Big 3 Auto makers are giving out good deals to get American people to buy their cars. For all the money given to the auto companies and still not make it.....NO, I will never buy an American made car now!!!!!
To think, that money could have been given to the American people, then they could have went out and bought an American made car out right and that would have helped the auto makers, right? Duh!!!!!!
I have posted comments on here and not many were posted. I guess the truth hurts and you don't want other people to read what I wrote. That's ok......I am sure I am not the only one who feels the way I do.
I said also, that Madoff should be out of jail, because he, Capitol Hill and Wall Street are no different and Madoff is the only one being punished. Madoff did the American people wrong, but then so is the Government and Wall Street. You won't post this, cause it is not in your best interest to post it, but thanks anyway.

Why do we get so worked up at the North (North Korea) for a launch? I just had breakfast here in Tokyo with a South Korean pilot, who simply said that they are use to such things and that the politicians are the ones (and the U.S.) that make these actions international incidents. Give it a rest and don't give the North so much attention.

When the American car makers can match the mechanical quality of the Toyota or Honda is when they will get out of the mess they are in now. Why don't they address that situation to solve their problems.
