Was Blagojevich framed by the Bankers

Was Blagojevich framed by the Bankers?
Maybe the following will shed some light on this frame up of Blagojevich. Just don't piss off the Bankers or try to stand up for working people in neoliberal dystopian Amerika. From WIkipedia: "Blagojevich threatened to stop the state’s dealings with Bank of America Corp. over a shut-down factory in Chicago. On December 8, 2008 (the day before his arrest), all state agencies were ordered to stop conducting business with Bank of America to pressure the company to make the loans. Blagojevich said the biggest U.S. retail bank would not get any more state business unless it restored credit to Republic Windows and Doors, whose workers were staging a sit-in. John Douglas, a former general counsel for the FDIC and attorney for Bank of America, called Blagojevich's gambit dangerous."

How would you say these things in Japanese

How would you say these things in Japanese?
How would you say the following things in Japanese? 1. My father was born in April. 2. My father is 31 years old. 3. My sister works as a waitress. 4. My brother went to school in the US. 5. My mother is Malaysian. Would it these be correct? 1. Chichi wa shigatsu de umaremashita. 父は四月で生まれました。 2. Chichi wa sanjyuuichi-sai desu 父は三十一才です。 3. Ane wa jokyuu de shigoto shiteru. 姉は女給で仕事してる。 4. Ani wa daigaku ni amerika de ikimashita. 兄は大学にアメリカで行きました。 5. Haha wa Mareeshiajin desu. 母はマレーシア人です。 *I think 2 and 5 are OK, but I am not sure how to say "go to school". Also, I think it should be "shigatsu ni umareta" but I am not sure. Thank you.

I think the kanji is correct for #2 but the romaji might be "chichi wa sanjuuichi-sai desu." [but this is from my personal knowledge]
2 :
1. not 四月で but 四月に 父は四月に生まれました。 Chichi wa shigatsu ni umaremashita. This is fine. But more commonly: 父は四月生まれです。 Chichi wa shigatsu umare desu. 2. more common to use 歳 instead of 才 父は三十一歳です。 Chichi wa sanjuuissai desu. Note: not "ichi-sai" but "issai". 3. The word 女給 is not used at all these days. Use the transliterated word ウェイトレス. 姉はウェイトレスの仕事をしています。 Ane wa weitoresu no shigoto wo shiteimasu. This is fine. But more commonly: 姉はウェイトレスをしています。 Ane wa weitoresu wo shiteimasu. 4. 兄はアメリカの大学に行きました。 Ani wa amerika no daigaku ni ikimashita. Note: If you mean that he went to the school like everday not just visited once or several times, then you should not say "ikimashita" but say "kayotteimashita(通っていました)". 兄はアメリカの大学に通っていました。 Ani wa amerika no daigaku ni kayotteimashita. 5. Good!

How do I get out of capitalism? I'm serious.

How do I get out of capitalism? I'm serious.?
I lived for six years in an income-sharing egalitarian commune and that wasn't bad, I didn't handle money for months at a time, and I didn't have to put up with any kind of boss lording over me all day. I had a lot of control over my own life and personal freedom on a day to day basis, much more than I do know working in corporate amerika. Only problem is it was basically only one of two large-scale secular communes in the country thats not some sort of crazy cult or has some hierarchical power structure with a charsmatic leader, etc and I decided I wanted to live in more than one place in my adult life. Since I don't see the proletariat taking over and establishing a classless society anytime soon, what is one to do? I don't feel much better off than a chattel slave right now. I hate hierarchy. Please don't tell me to move to Cuba ( I don't want Castro lording over me, either) or try to shove your bourgeois ideology down my throat either.

There are no alternatives. You could live in the wilderness by yourself, but that would kind of suck. And you'd probably die, if you lack serious survival skills. You could always start your own community. But that would take a lot of work, and some initial capital to get going. Capitalism isn't so bad if you have an education and a useful skill to offer. But that's the catch.
2 :
well there arent many options. you can go back to the place you used to live, now that you've lived somewhere else. so its more than one place i your adult life
3 :
no one can have it all. when we work for a company we are there for our protection, really, for wages, insurance 401K, holiday pay etc. we dont work just for the money, it really has to become a lifestyle. unless you have tons of money.
4 :
denmark would be your best bet -- since that country was voted the happiest in the world some of that happiest should rub off and you might enjoy it there!!! good luck on you happy trip!!!

Osama bin Laden is now dead, can we finally bring our kids home

Osama bin Laden is now dead, can we finally bring our kids home?
My son works for Army intelligence in Kuwait and he says they intercepted a secret message from Al-Qaeda to all the terrorists to stop fighting because the Jihad is now over. It said that when Osama bin Laden saw that Hillary Clinton or Obama could be our next President, he died laughing. As he was rolling on the floor , he ordered his men to send out the message to Al-Qaeda to stop fighting and start making contributions to the Democrats. "Nothing could be worse for Amerika than that. Allah will be very pleased" he said. In his last official act , Osama gave his top luitennants the keys to the beach house in Yemen and declared the Jihad to be officially over. As he was being buried in Pakistan , reports said that there was a "Go Hillary" bumper sticker on the casket.

So is Hitler; shouldn't we bring our troups home from Germany? No, unfortunately we benefit from helping a region stabalize (see japan, germany, south korea) and when we don't, both countries lose (see samalia, vietnam, etc).

you shouldn't be posting shit like this cant u get in trouble with the gov since that info is classified or are u just joking
12 :
There is so much more work to be done in the middle east! Osama Bum Layer was just the tip of the ice burg over there. We need to send more troops over to clean up the other rif raf!!

Well the dems certainly need his support to win, dead or alive.
14 :
Damn, you had me going there for a minute bro. I hear you though, I'm voting for McCain.
15 :
'luitennants' ive never seen it spelt like that before
16 :
Reading this kinda joke, I knew McCain created this one because he tends to make lame jokes (I forgive him since he's pretty old). Be careful "A little person", McCain may denounce you once the media covers up this story.
17 :
DEAD? don't be so sure about that i think hes in the jekuzy with bush having some good time together
18 :
poor son your a careing father i think bush should bring our kids home
19 :
omfg i <3 u thats friggen amazing!!!!!!!!!
20 :
bush and cons don't care about terryist's, its all about growing lots of poppies to poison our voters and oil control
21 :
As he was being buried in Pakistan , reports said that there was a "Go Hillary" bumper sticker on the casket. Do you know that is true! But since he is dead and they were on his casket someone (Obama) must have placed them there attempting to dis-credit Hillary Clinton - know any closet Muslims?
22 :
I heard Hillary was there in the cave (sitting on her flack jacket) when the latest Rasmussen polling arrived and was nearly struck by a stray bullet as the Al Quaeda rank and file unloaded their clips in joy. She thought she had locked up the nomination when she annouced later that Obama was dead. Later she corrected herself and allowed she mispoke.
23 :
If Clinton and Obama are jokes then Bush represents a 2 hour stand up comedy routine. Bin Laden is not a subject that bush supporters should be bringing up given the complete failure that the administration has experienced.
24 :
Nice! yes they'd love her or the no back bone Obonga in office, they could come here and take this country over on bikes! Yeah, and steal Obama's followers of their tricycles...and pinch them and give them murphys....and call them real bad names like "stupid head"...and the flock would run to mommie or daddei, and need some KOOL AID fast!!!
25 :
Yeah, sure!!!
26 :
Can't be true. Last official poll said Terrorists for Obama running at 99%.
27 :
Sadly there are idiots that will believe you, Even though you can't spell America among other words. That alone should get you banned from voting. You really have no respect for our millitary.
