I have NO idea Why FREEREPUB deleted my last post... It was about non-USA (non-American) citizens and their view on USA... (Being that they have NO right to judge OR view OR tell USA what to do)... FREEPER, I NEVER typed a vulgar word that a child of ANY AGE would not, could not, and SHOULD not be able to read. IF you want to ban me after this message because I spoke against your deletion of my last message (which had NO offensive words to/from/about children)... then I SHALL and WILL label you to the same level as wikkipedia...

The scorned husband of CNN anchorwoman Paula Zahn is furious that she ditched him for another business titan, a friend of the couple told the Daily News yesterday. The newscaster, who married megabucks developer Richard Cohen in 1987, recently cheated on him with Paul Fribourg, the married chairman of one of the largest privately held companies in the U.S., the friend said.

"Hell hath no fury like a man scorned."[snip]..... .......[snip]He was widely vilified several years ago when the Fifth...

Then she presented him with a third...and a fourth...a fifth and sixth. But when she fell pregnant a seventh time he KNEW the baby couldn't be his. So how many were?

Fifteen months after her bitter divorce and an appearance on Oprah, Bay Area author Terry McMillan says the younger man who once helped her get her groove back -- only to break her heart by coming out of the closet -- is making her life a living hell. And, from the looks of things, it's about to get worse. McMillan's hairstylist ex-husband, Jonathan Plummer, has signed a book deal with Simon & Schuster for a fictionalized tell-all account based on his decadelong relationship with McMillan, whose own novel and movie about their early romance, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back,"...

Tomkat, Bradgelina Get Pwned In Annual Banned Word ListPOSTED: 12:24 pm EST December 31, 2006 UPDATED: 12:44 pm EST December 31, 2006 DETROIT -- Online video gamers inadvertently stumbled onto a pop culture phenomenon when they began championing the use of "pwn," a misspelling of "own."

"This word is just an overly used Internet typo," said Tory Rowley, of Corunna, Mich. "It has been overused to the point that people who play online games are using it in...

Iraqi TV is now showing edited footage of the execution of Saddam.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi dictator who spent his last years in captivity after his ruthless regime was toppled by the U.S.-led coalition in 2003, was hanged before dawn Saturday for crimes committed in a brutal crackdown during his reign. The execution took place shortly after 6 a.m. (10 p.m. Friday ET), Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie, told Iraqi television. "This dark page has been turned over," Rubaie said. "Saddam is gone. Today Iraq is an Iraq for all the Iraqis, and all the Iraqis are looking forward. ... The [Hussein] era has gone forever."...

<p>The Drop Broke Saddam's neck killing him instantly. At the executions following the Nuremberg Trials others were not so lucky.</p> <p>"..The executions, in a brightly lighted prison gymnasium where three looming black wooden gallows had been erected, were witnessed by a handful of Allied military officers and eight journalists, one of whom, Kingsbury Smith of International News Service, wrote a famous newspaper article, "The Execution of Nazi War Criminals, 16 October 1946," based on his eyewitness observations. Although Smith discreetly omitted mentioning it, the experienced Army hangman, Master Sgt. John C. Woods, botched the executions. A number of the hanged Nazis died, not quickly from a broken neck as intended, but agonizingly from slow strangulation. Ribbentrop and Sauckel each took 14 minutes to choke to death, while Keitel, whose death was the most painful, struggled for 24 minutes at the end of the rope before expiring..."</p>

Israel's and Hezbollah's War of the Rockets has entered a new phase: the War of the Wallets, the race to gain political capital by rebuilding southern Lebanon. Diplomats and military analysts continue to debate The War of the Rockets. The conventional wisdom -- or more accurately, the wisdom of first impressions -- said Israel lost the military war and Hezbollah won by surviving. But the emerging "big picture" suggests the War of the Rockets physically punished and politically damaged Hezbollah, despite its media touts of victory. On the other hand, Israel cannot claim a victory -- at least, not yet....
