World AIDS Day 2008
http://worldaidsday.org

The number of people living with HIV is continuing to rise in every part of the world... There are now 33 million people living with HIV worldwide...

WAD: 21 years

Twenty-one years ago, a summit of health ministers realised that a united global effort was required to halt the spread of HIV. As a result, World AIDS Day emerged as the first international health day in December 1988.

The aim of World AIDS Day is to bring to people's attention the worldwide challenges and consequences of the epidemic - ultimately halting the spread of HIV and improving the lives of people living with the virus.

Each year the campaign is an opportunity for organisations throughout the world to highlight the HIV pandemic in order to raise awareness and bring about change   Read More »

On the night of Nov. 22, a group of Israeli settlers descended on the Jerusalem home of Palestinian resident Fatima al-Daoudi while the owner was away visiting relatives, changing the locks on the gates and putting a metal sheet over an open-air porch built in by the al-Daoudi family in 1948. Although an eviction order was obtained by the al-Daoudi family and the settlers removed, the order was only temporary and the settlers are expected to return, eventually to stay as the al-Daoudi family is forced to seek housing elsewhere. Residents of the same house since 1930, the al-Daoudi family now faces the prospect of joining the many other Palestinian residents of Jerusalem who, like those in the neighboring West Bank, have been turned into homeless refugees by expanding Israeli settlements (PNN).

Despite US and international protests, a similar fate recently befell the family of Mohammed al-Kurd and his wife Fawzieh, residents of their East Jerusalem home since 1956. Evicted in a pre-dawn raid by Israeli police, the al-Kurd family was forced to move into a tent on private land rented from a Palestinian neighbor while Israeli settlers moved into their home of more than fifty years. Israeli harassment against the family continued, however, including repeated demolition of the tent in which they had been forced to live despite its location on private Palestinian land. To make matters worse, Mr. al-Kurd suffered from complications related to diabetes, of which he finally passed away on Nov. 23. As Mrs. al-Kurd, her children, and her grandchildren mourn Mr. al-Kurd's death, the family's future remains in question (PNN, BBC, AFP, Haaretz, AIC).

As Haaretz reported prior to the al-Kurds' eviction from their home, the US filed an official protest with Israel for acts against Palestinians including the eviction of the al-Kurd family and harassment of Palestinian residents by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The US complaint was obviously ignored. Such complaints from US officials including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have grown more frequent in recent months according to a separate Haaretz report, drawing the ire of some Israeli officials, who suggest the US is meddling in local affairs that are none of its business. Despite overriding US concern for Israeli interests and massive US aid to Israel, it would seem that the Israelis have little regard for US and international opinion on the human rights of Palestinians. Billions of your tax dollars go to Israel each year, yet even the most restrained US complaints against settlement expansion and abuse of Palestinians go ignored by those who are supposedly America's best friends and a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. Meanwhile, anger toward both Israel and America festers throughout the Arab world.

President-elect Obama has told us that "the time for change has come." Has the time come for this long, sad state of affairs to change?

Fears rise that Democrats will assault Second Amendment rights.

On the neatly stacked ammunition shelves at the Alaska Shooters Supply is a sign: "There is no such thing as too much ammo."
But in recent days, there has been concern about too little.
Over the past week, ammunition has been selling by the pallet-load at the shop. Guns, particularly military-style weapons, are a hot ticket.
And high-capacity magazines were selling so well, the Boniface Parkway shop ran out the week of the Nov. 4 election.
That's no coincidence. Fear of stiffer gun laws after Barack Obama's successful presidential bid and a Congress with a larger Democratic edge is prompting gun enthusiasts across the country to stock up in record numbers.
"Obama is the best gun salesman we've had in the last 50 years," said Jack Murray,

what then?
Is she really as transparent as she wants us to believe she is?

And where is Bristol these days? I notice Willow (2nd daughter) and youngest daughter Piper is on the trail, but where is Bristol? Why hide her? What's up with that? What do you think about this?

Even Joe Scarborough is loving Palin and claiming the democrats are know it all's and they just sit back and watch and laugh at us. Palin is getting painted a martyr today, so fight even harder. She's a drag on John's ticket and on Alaska. She's got another investigation and failed to turn over her medical history. She should be held accountable and should be recalled in Alaska. She's finished, she might think she's not, but she is, the people will have the last word. People here have finally seen the light. She has an aide using $1,000 per day to attend rally's with Sarah. More abuse.

David Gergen made a guest appearance on CNN and informed that $150,000 was spent for a make over: hair, clothing and make-up for Sarah Palin. Wow, I LOVE it! Nothing could change her attitude, or boost her confidence, it's already overboard! Does it look like she got $150,000 worth? Ugly short and tight coats that barely button (appeals to men perhaps), long skirts that make her calves appear fat (as they are); granny clothes! Nothing would soften the looks of that evil festering witch.
I recall the repukes complaining for months on end about John Edwards paying $400 for round trip flight to the winner that got to cut his hair and then got to spend time with Edwards on his campaign.

Let's see, how many years would that get you to spend time with Sarah. Ughh! Thanks, but no thanks! I'd rather purchase a few cars with that kind of money and pay for college for my children. The more that comes out about her...the more I want a piece of PIE!
Sarah projected onto Joe the Plumber, "He thinks this is SOCIALISM." This was her explanation for "spreading wealth" (which was taken out of context and they're reaching pretty far to link nothing).

Who gives a crap what JOE thinks, he's NOT running. If Barack responds, guess what? Palin's going to say that BO is attacking poor Joey. So why did she even bring up his name, other than to bait Barack and blame Joe the Plumber for saying, or thinking this. WHO CARES!F@! That is so messed up. Her tactics are 527 smears and she's taking down anyone to make a point, this reflects poorly on McCain for not vetting her. I hope she keeps this up...

UPDATE: She had a broken hip, not sure if she was stabilized.

You can tell from this picture that she adores her grandson and his cheek bent towards her head shows he's loving her back.

She loves him, he loves her…Grandma. Aren't grandma's simply wonderful? He says that she gave him everything, so that he could develop into the person he is. She acted as his surrogate mother when Baracks mother went overseas to study and assist women get financial aid. Madelyn continues to do a wonderful job with her life and with his. Thank you Grandma Tutu! And stay strong. You’re America’s Grandma and sweetheart - we love you!

October 20, 2008, the Obama campaign announced that he would suspend campaign events on October 23 and 24 to attend to Dunham. His communications director told reporters that she had fallen ill in the preceding weeks, and that while she was released from the hospital the week before, her health had deteriorated "to the point where her situation is very serious.

Anne Pressly's personality made her a hit with television viewers. Now, police want to know whether her celebrity made her a target.

The popular KATV anchorwoman, who had a small part in the new Bush biopic "W," was in critical but stable condition Tuesday after a severe beating in her home. Investigators aren't sure whether she was the random victim of a home invasion or a target because of her high-profile job.

"(It) is possible that it is something other than robbery," police spokeswoman Cassandra Davis said. "Our detectives are talking with co-workers because she was a public figure, because she was on the news, in the media."

She's in stable condition and thank goodness her mother went to check on her. Hopefully, she can identify the attacker(s)! Sounds like a hate crime to me.

Add up the Palin couple's 2007 income and the estimated value of their property and investments and they appear to be worth at least $1.2 million. Most average American’s have nearly $10,000 credit card debt and are they worth this amount?
http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/story/543404.html

The Palins invested in five lots along Safari Lake, an undeveloped area near Denali State Park. They bought the property, once owned by the state's Department of Natural Resources and valued at $30,000 in assessment records, with friends Scott and Deborah Richter in 2004 and 2005. The Richters have since divorced.

This statement above is the information that The National Enquirer broke, where they connected the dots about Palin’s property shared with the Richter's and the affair with Brad Hanson. Take a serious look. She's not an average American as she and McChip paints her.

Palin's 'Radical right-wing pals' in Alaska
http://community.adn.com/adn/node/132520

 

Believe her? I don't. Her credibility is shot, bagged and field dressed already. 

Today: Palin's future son-in-law meets the press Levi Johnston, who's having a baby with the daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin, has dropped out of high school and taken a North Slope job as an apprentice electrician. He would be a senior had he returned to school. http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/newsreader/story/554608.html

My son is a senior, and he's worked for NOAA, as an apprentice his entire junior year, and did Field and Track and helped build a Science Sphere, now housed at Lena Point (modeled after one in Washington DC). I don't see why his parents would let him quit school to work on the oil slopes with Todd Palin.

These Palin's (Todd and Sarah) are 'loyal to oil' only,  and Alaskans are left out, Alaskan issues are left out, they're being duped, as well as the right wing party. They're all about building the oil corporation, look Sarah's mission is to plant miles of pipeline that will eventually corrode and cost tax payers hundreds of millions. It's already happened on her beat on the North Slope (Prudhoe Bay)...oil spills and fires. I keep asking "what's wrong with tanking the gas?" Trucks are easier to maintain and not a national security issue. And what's wrong with a kid continuing his education? Most girls expecting, HAVE to complete school and go to alternative school to receive a diploma. HE's not expecting, BRISTOL is. There's been no mention of Bristol, only that the Palin children are going to the Juneau school district, which is a big hairy lie too. They are NOT in Juneau, maybe in Wasilla, or Anchorage area, but not registered in Juneau, as they claimed. If I were Levi's mom, I'd be pleading for him to stay in school, or he's just going to become a survivor, and holding onto the hem of Palin's skirt. He'll never be independent. He even said that Sarah better win the election. Why? What's in it for him? His life should be separate from DC politics, so the statement was strange. It just makes me wonder if he were taught responsibility of using protection, both in relationships and in governing his life (school). We know Sarah didn't teach her daughter, but what about Levi's parents? Didn't they teach him either? What's wrong with those CONSERVATIVES up north? Ever heard of being conservative with relationships until you can be responsible for one?

Bill Ayers Palin is Accusing Obama of Palling With Terrorist
http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/545855.html

Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of an association with a former '60s radical, stepping up an effort to portray Obama as unacceptable to American voters. Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, during the Vietnam War era.
Obama, who was a child when the group was active, has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities. (He was probably in Indonesia or Hawaii and was 8 yrs old when this MAN did was part of these acts against the government).
In 1970, the group was blamed for a pipe bomb in San Francisco that killed a police officer and injured another. Three members of the group were killed in 1970 in an accidental explosion of a bomb in their Greenwich Village basement.
While it is known that Obama and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood, served on a charity board together and had a fleeting political connection, it's a stretch of any reading of the public record to say the pair ever palled around. And it's simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts.   Read More »
