da li iko osim hilary i ovog crnca jos ima sanse za demokratskog kandidata? jer i jedno i drugo bi bilo zapravo prema statistici, vrlo malo vjerovatno da pobjede a neka igra na ravnopravnost spolova i rasa tesko bi prosla u americi... a kauboj?

a glede giuliania, sicate se epizode u seinfeldu sa njim i po cemu je zanimljiva?

 aj ima jos do izbora pun kua, od republikanaca ja cuo samo da mc cain ima nekakvu podrsku za kandidaturu, giuliani ne bi prosao na stranackim izborima nikada, pa NYC je grad komunjara prema prosjecnom republikanskom glasacu. demokrati, obamu iz barake hebu boje osim sto je pretaman jos je i zelen, a hillary si je gadnu uslugu napravila podrskom invazije, mada je to tada bilo misljenje vecine amerikanaca, sad joj se razbija o glavu. mislim da je jos puno prerano raspravljat o tome, za godinu dana mozda ako do tada bush ne napadne iran pa isforsira polupani loncic (heba vas led iranski jeste vise slozili tu atomsku da krele sjasi s vas).

und mislim da je badlands nacionalni park u americi, ne sjecam se najbolje mozda se rasplet filma odvija tamo. 

tesko da je to znacilo u filmu.. mada se moze gledati kroz tu zemlju koja je dala u to vrijeme neki trend za maco muskarca pa eto..

 Barak da je mladjahan?hm,hm...pa i nije baš...ima isto godina kao JFK u Dallasu 1963.

Ja uporno govorim da bih svu vlast na planeti dao ljudima između 35-50g...jezivo mi ide na jetru ova gerijatrija koja odlučuje na svim razinama.

Ne znam kako je vama na vašim poslovima ali ja LUDIM kad moram nešto dogovarati s osobom koja je 50+...uz časne iznimke-tako su spori,neodlučni,zamrznuti u prošlosti i neefikasni.A s druge strane,s mađim čovjekom sve dogovoriš za 5 minuta. 

 u ovim "mojim" granama znanosti (biomedicina, egzaktne znanosti) to nema puno veze s godinama, svi smo ionako u manjem ili vecem obimu zanesena mularija pa je motivacija ista kod svih kao i na pocetku (nakon studija). sto se brzine, odlucnosti i efikasnosti tice, ja mislim da to sve ovisi o tome koliko je covjek aktivan, nista bez treninga. moj prof je iznad te magicne granice, eh da mi je sad njegova brzina, odlucnost i efikasnost a isto vazi za gro bivsih kolega-istrazivaca u plivundari i drugdje gdje sam radio. ako u cetrespetoj krenes skupljat prasinu i cekat pemziju odnijet ce te vrag u pedesetoj pa ces bit biljkica.   

sto se politicara tice oni su uglavnom ljige bez obzira na godine, ovi mladi su cak nesto ljigaviji (beskrupulozniji, bahatiji). obama cini se ima karizmu i pari da odudara od takvog klisea.  

kod demokrata ce biti ili Obama ili Hilary. Ne vidim nikog drugog ko bi mogao biti neki ozbiljniji kandidat. Naravno jos cekam njihove konkretne planove pa di i ja konacno glasujem za nesto. Za republikance me nije ni briga - svi su isti, sami kapitalisti. Mile, Kauboj, ja, i ostali amerikanci ovdje na forumu cemo na biraliste u balkanskom stilu, svi cemo za Kucinicha glasat

 ljudi ovo morate procitati vidi se da je covjek "naseg" porijekla... najbolji dio je "snitch" stvar

That became obvious a year ago, when Radic pleaded guilty to betraying his flock and secretly selling the church and its rectory out from under them.

He used the money to buy himself a brand-new black BMW and a laptop -- exploits he later chronicled in a cheeky, almost gleeful blog about his double life as a sinner.

"We didn't know anything until we got a call from the bank that he had bought a BMW," said David Prater, who led the church board during Radic's tenure. "He drove that car right down Main Street."

Irate parishioners had been rooting for a long prison term of up to 16 months at his sentencing, set for Thursday.

But Radic's lawyer said last week that the 54-year-old former pastor, who spent six months in jail awaiting trial, will not have to serve any more time behind bars because he agreed to testify about the alleged murder confession of a jailmate.

In the meantime, ownership of some of the church property is still tied up in lawsuits.

Turning the other cheek

"Most of the congregation, being a good Christian congregation, has forgiven him. But there are still things happening to the church that we can't understand," said Judy Edwards, who took over as pastor last year. "If the parsonage was stolen, why isn't it being returned?"

Radic was a respected figure in Ripon, population 14,000, a quiet town of 1940s-era homes and tree-lined streets just off California's Highway 99, where 18-wheelers thunder down the San Joaquin Valley.

"The church was basically senior citizens, people in their 80s, 90s and close to 100," Prater said. "He was their favorite son."

Radic's pulpit was in a wooden, 90-year-old chapel, and he lived in a church-owned house a few blocks away.

"This is a town with a lot of faith," said Navid Fardanesh, president of the Ripon Chamber of Commerce. "People had a lot of trust in him, and unfortunately he took advantage of the situation."

First, Radic faked documents giving him possession of the parsonage, and used the property to take out about $200,000 in personal loans, prosecutors said. Then he forged papers saying he had the power to sell the church, and sold it to a couple for $525,000.

After investigators began inquiring about the $102,000 BMW, Radic fled to Denver. Prosecutors coaxed him back, and he was arrested in 2005.

Pastor turns snitch

It was in jail that Radic met Roy Gerald Smith, a sex offender awaiting trial in the 2005 slaying of a woman in a death penalty case. In Radic's blog on a now-defunct Internet site, the former pastor suggested that as he gained Smith's confidence, Smith confessed.

Radic soon struck a deal: He would plead guilty to embezzlement and be released from prison. And prosecutors would drop nine other felony charges in exchange for Radic's testimony.

Since Radic was not Smith's pastor, the inmate's incriminating statements are not protected by the usual confidentiality rules involving members of the clergy, Radic's lawyer Michael Babitzke said.

As he awaited sentencing from the comfort of home, Radic started blogging about his personal life. He tried to solicit a literary agent for a tell-all book he called "SNITCH" and spelled out the details of how he fleeced his flock.

Describing the proposed memoir as "a kind of new Bible," Radic wrote that "true-crime shall have a container in which to wallow, a boat which, when it embarks, will traverse the major oceans. Like an esoteric prayer, a Catholic confession, a Gregorian chant or a murderer's insouciance, it will hum a tune inside one's bones."

Radic, who still lives in Ripon, did not find a buyer for "SNITCH," but he did sign a deal last month to publish a book called "The Sound of Meat," billed as a "(fairly) truthful" memoir.
