[derek]

why!?

If I have to explain....

I kinda hope the "why" was not for but "why would he do that?" And I think the only answer to that is - he's crazy, but clearly not nuts.

But clearly no nuts anymore!

Record-breaking divorce ruling against Maple Leafs Foods president

“There were memberships in three private clubs, private schools for all of their five children, extravagant entertaining – both personally and through business – with the very finest foods and wines available,” Judge Greer said. The couple had an $8-million sailboat with a three-man crew, and were awaiting the construction of an additional $18-million yacht.

Even after the separation, Ms. McCain paid a pilates/yoga instructor $2,600 per month. She listed her personal entertainment expenses as $5,562 per month; travel expenses as $16,395 per month; and basic household expenses – including for food, pet care, dry cleaning and meals – as $12,812 per month.

“I really hope that when people read this, they won’t walk away thinking she is an indulgent, extravagant woman,” her lawyer said. “This is the lifestyle they led. The rich are different.”

Yes they are.

$2600/month for a "yoga instructor".. also a masseuse, and 'personal assistant'..

‘The Administration does not support blowing up planets’: White House responds to petition asking it to build Death Star

http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/01/11 ... eath-star/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Obama administration must, by law, officially respond to any petition that receives more than 30,000 signatures. That’s why the U.S. government needed to respond to calls for Piers Morgan’s deportation. Many of the petitions that get more than 30,000 signatures are silly. But some are deadly serious. For example, the petition that the government start building a Death Star by 2016, required a fullsome response, which we’ve captured in full below or which you can read on the White House website:

The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.

The Administration does not support blowing up planets.

Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

Hahaha,. that's awesome.

“I really hope that when people read this, they won’t walk away thinking she is an indulgent, extravagant woman,” her lawyer said. “This is the lifestyle they led. The rich are different.”

Yes they are.

How on Earth does the fact that "this is the lifestyle they led" and they're rich change the fact that she's an indulgent, extravagant woman (and he was an indulgent, extravagant man)? I wonder how many yoga/pilates instructors on the planet make $2600/month - it's not a huge amount of money, but it's got to be way over average for a fitness instructor.

[mr x]

Lol, I guess she's keeping the economy running, which too many wealth hoarders for not, but you are quite right as well, lol. She is different from you and I, hahahahhaaha......

‘Hurry up and die,’ Japan’s finance minister tells nation’s elderly

[/b]
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the ... le7643799/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

While magazines such as National Geographic rhapsodize over Okinawan seniors – who are among the longest lived on earth – Japan’s new finance minister, Taro Aso, has a harsh message for the nation’s elderly: “hurry up and die.”

Adding insult to injury, Aso referred to seniors who are unable to feed themselves as “tube people.”

Rush fans have waited more than a quarter of a century for the iconic Canadian band to return to Halifax — and now the wait is almost over.

In a newsletter to fans on Tuesday, Rush announced they will return to Halifax this summer.

A specific date for the concert has not been set and the venue has not been announced.

Rush last played Halifax in November of 1987 following a successful petition from local rock radio station Q104. The radio station's website says the petition got 24,000 signatures.

Before that 1987 concert, Rush hadn't played in Halifax for nearly a decade.

Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson has made a few cameo appearances on the Nova Scotia-based television show the Trailer Park Boys.

Last December it was announced the band — including lead singer Geddy Lee, guitarist Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart — would be inducted into the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I've never been so close to heatstroke in my entire life, but getting to throw a bottle of water at Justin Timberlake's head (and actually hit him) made it all worth while.
