Finally, something I care lesss about than the Michael Richards performance.

I didn't think it was possible.

Goddamn it's a slow news week!

[UpAllNight]

--First Daughter Barbara Bush had her purse and cell phone stolen as she had dinner in a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, even though she was being guarded by a detail of Secret Service agents, according to law enforcement reports made available to ABC News.--

Those guys are sharp. I was dining with some friends in Mexico and they got the purse of one of them and she was a resident of Mexico City. Those guys have the waiter paid off along with the bus boys and they all work as a team.

Don't forget the Secret Service man who broke up a gang fight Saturday in Annapolis -- he was shot in the process.

And didn't another SS type get involved in a PS3 altercation?

In response to your question, this is on the net, but whether true or not is questionable.

Bush buys land in Northern Parguay

Snip: Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.

It is one reason why they will never make a first world country. That and their holiday break of two months coming up in about 5 weeks.

I cannot believe that there are so many ignorant, cruel, and just plain stupid people in this world, and they're all at DU! It's depressing to read their comments on ANY subject. I just shake my head at what losers they are. It's sad.

I thought it was pretty good.

4. White House staffer beaten and robbed in Wikiki
What in the heck is going on?!?!? "

You forgot about the problem with Air Force One.
Has Hastings already made a difference?

[Grizzled Bear]

Are you sure you told us absolutely everything?

;)

I never had any trouble in Argentina with thieves either. In fact, I have never had any trouble in ANY Latin American country - Ecuador, Argy, Panama, Venezuela, Mexico. OK, I got kidnapped in Mexico.

But that was 1986!

Hey, AM - can we get word limits on posts?!?

[California Patriot]

Not good, and the president's daughters shouldn't even be in countries like this except under very tight circumstances. It's a national security issue. If they're kidnapped, it's everyone's problem.

[Cementjungle]

OK, I got kidnapped in Mexico.

Kidnapped!!! Wow...Gotta hear about that one!

[Eva]

It was probably someone serving the table, that just bent over and removed the purse along witn the empty glasses.

Google found a link - in just a few seconds ... It was to a copy on BuildAnArk.net, stating that the original came from FrugalSquirrels.com, which is consistent with mentions of posting to "Frugal" in the article.

Some SS guys are likely going to find themselves working in Montana by month end.

Actually- I can think of a worse detail than that.

It's in New York. (((shudder)))

[Accygirl]

How about some of the posts linked to the article?? Outside the one fake id incident and some apparent moaning and sulking incidents on the part of Jenna,they've kept a low profile, and neither strikes me as being Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton.

I'm sure if I was Bush, I would feel very comfortable about the event. /s Totally unsat.
