Every once in awhile the people get a victory over the Thugg criminals stalking the land. These Criminals are lucky that the Police/THUGG Army did not catch them first or they may have had to go to the Hospital for "resisting" arrest! The CRIME WAVE that is currently engulfing the whole country is directly the fault of Franky and his band of Gangster Thugg Criminals. They have ruined the economy, sullied Fiji's International reputation and have stolen what was left for themselves. The people need JOBS, they need HOPE, they need a Democratically elected government to restore Fiji's reputation and economy! When The Fijian Peacekeepers are Fired from the UN forces, SOON, then what will they do? No jobs for anyone at all, not even the thugg stormtroopers.

Romney, McCain spar in Florida
We have the numbers and organization statewide to compete in Minnesota," said campaign coordinator Marianne Stebbins. "We plan on surprising many people on Feb. 5."
Back in Florida, the slugfest between McCain, who won in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and Romney, who won in Michigan and Nevada, continued.
In his early morning campaign event, Romney said McCain was best known for legislation co-sponsored with Democrats involving campaign finance reform, illegal immigration and a "cap and trade" system to address global warming.
"Sen. McCain is known for three piece of legislation. Twenty-five years, three pieces of legislation. What are they?" he told scores of supporters at the rally at an airstrip. "McCain-Feingold, which hit the 1st Amendment.
Poll: Governors, lawmakers not getting job done
Louis Post-Dispatch/KMOV-TV poll.But the Legislature's approval rating is even lower.In an illustration of the old political adage that everyone gets dirty in a mud fight, poll respondents gave Blagojevich a "favorable" rating of 42 percent -- one of the lowest of his five years as governor. The General Assembly got a "favorable" rating of 37 percent.Those grim numbers come after Blagojevich and his fellow Democrats who control the Legislature presided over the near-shutdown of state government last year in their protracted battle over spending priorities and other issues. The series of highly publicized showdowns held up funding to school districts across the state for a time, and earlier this month came within days of crippling public transit in Chicago."People are just sick of nothing getting done," said Del Ali, a pollster with Research 2000, which last week conducted the poll with telephone interviews of 800 likely Illinois voters who vote regularly in state elections.
Business Magazines' Issues: Ad Slump, Web, New Rival
It's not a business magazine, it's a magazine about rich people," says Andrew Evan Serwer, Fortune's managing editor. "We're the gold standard." Still, both Fortune and BusinessWeek are responding. BusinessWeek is narrowing its focus by emphasizing core business coverage and retreating from lifestyle areas. The shift is reflected in the redesigned magazine, which sports a cleaner look. Gone is the magazine's "Executive Life" section, which included lifestyle pieces on subjects such as New Zealand spas and powder skiing in New Mexico. In a world of nonstop information and ever busier schedules, BusinessWeek's readers want a concise take on the week's business news, says BusinessWeek President Keith Fox. "Readers want an intelligent filter," he says. Fortune is seen by some industry analysts as particularly vulnerable to Portfolio.
Creeping Fascism: Lessons From the Past
These are the words of Sebastian Haffner (pen name for Raimund Pretzel), who as a young lawyer in Berlin during the 1930s experienced the Nazi takeover and wrote a first-hand account. His children found the manuscript when he died in 1999 and published it the following year as "Geschichte eines Deutschen" (The Story of a German). The book became an immediate bestseller and has been translated into 20 languages-in English as "Defying Hitler." I recently learned from his daughter Sarah, an artist in Berlin, that today is the 100th anniversary of Haffner's birth. She had seen an earlier article in which I quoted her father and emailed to ask me to "write some more about the book and the comparison to Bush's America…this is almost unbelievable." More about Haffner below.
