There is a great picture of Ted Kennedy (huge tits). Be sure to launch the visual maps. Be patient, it takes a few minutes to load. It's interesting to see where all the money comes from and where it goes. I would guess that the political left has about ten times more money that the rightous right. So, get with it, counselor.

I personally feel this appointment is typical of the Bush administratrion when it wants to send a big FU to some organization like the UN. If you read Molly Ivens book "Bushwacked" you would note that Bush appointed a Christian Fundamentalist Non-Doctor as the US representative to the World Health Organization. FU WHO!

Mark Franchetti, Moscow March 08, 2005 SMARTLY dressed in suit and tie, the young lawyer cut an incongruous figure as he was borne through the streets of Moscow alongside crowds of impoverished pensioners in a red sea of hammer-and-sickle flags. Although several decades younger than most of those around him, Yuri Vassilyev, 33, was happy to admit to their common cause: a fondness for Joseph Stalin, the dictator whose purges are blamed by Western historians for the deaths of up to 20 million Soviet citizens. "Look, everyone makes mistakes," Mr Vassilyev said. "Stalin wasn't a saint, but he was a great man who built up a strong state. "After years of lies about him, the truth is coming out. We owe a lot to him. He turned the Soviet Union into a superpower that was feared and respected. A man like Stalin is what Russia needs now." Increasing numbers of Mr Vassilyev's countrymen are taking a similarly sepia-tinged view of the dictator in the run-up to May...
