BBC News: Kosovo unveils Clinton's statue
Former US President Bill Clinton has attended the unveiling of a statue of himself in Kosovo's capital Pristina.

The 3.5m (11 ft) bronze statue was inaugurated at Bill Clinton Boulevard - to loud cheers of thousands of ethnic Albanians.

Many of them regard Mr Clinton as a hero for launching Nato's air bombing campaign to drive Yugoslavia's troops out of the Serbian province in 1999.

Humana Trolls College Campuses For Whores | UK Progressive

Humana, Inc., the fine and good corporate citizen that spends millions of its customer's premium dollars to fight health care reform and a public option rather than using them to pay claims, now wants to use even more premium bucks to pay students willing to sneak on-line at places such as Facebook and Twitter to tout the horrors of any change to America's superb health care delivery and financing system.

In other words, Humana is trolling college campuses looking for whores willing to accept money to be on-line promoters of an anti-reform policy that's against the student's own, best interests - or will be, once they leave school and are on their own. Given the state of the economy, no doubt Humana will be overwhelmed with applications.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

For those of you who thought Barbie's boyfriend couldn't be any more emasculated, Mattel is releasing the "Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken".

Let's see if I got this right... Barbie started out in the 50's with her high-school sweetheart Ken, a good boy from Ohio. But in 2004 years ago she tired of him and dumped him for "an Aussie surfer called Blaine". Then Ken got a job as a mortgage broker for a covert subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, made the big bucks, got out in 2007, put his 401(k) into Treasury securities and has been living in Palm Beach ever since. And now that the Great Recession has hit, Barbie is unemployed and needs a sugar daddy.

Mattel: 60 years of wholesome role models for America.
