SUPERTAX!!! British bankers are furious that any bonus they get over GBP40,000 this year will be taxed at 50%. Entitled, moi?
AFGHAN WOMEN PROTEST KARZAI!!! He’s not doing enough to stem corruption, they say. Although it came out “hmmh herhh hehhm hhmmm mmmm mmm,” thanks to the Burqa. That’s right, Davis. Tell a “joke”about Islam.

OBAMA’S DRIVE THROUGH NOBEL!!! He’s too busy surging troups in Afghanistan to stop for long. Speech was “quite good,” says Gawker:
“But perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars. One of these wars is winding down. The other is a conflict that America did not seek; one in which we are joined by 42 other countries — including Norway — in an effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks.”

Oh, what? Nothing about the enlightening and valuable discussion that continues on the Mary Volm thread? It just keeps going on and on.
The $8.9 million and CCC takeover of that BK is going to be a redemption story beyond Hollywood.
It’s perhaps the most important development in poverty politics in the state’s history.
Matt, can you convert 30 stone to pounds? And I thought “awfully sorry, dead chap” was hilarious. Call me sick, I guess.

The BK story is spend $9.8 million to bring 1300 MORE bums to W Burnside.
Whatta makeover!
