If someone is bored and wants to write up a quick thing and let me know whats giong on in the world, I'd love that. Thanks!

Nah... she got out a little while ago and "vowed" to be a "new" person (or something like that).

[Matt]

Yeah she is going to help fight breast cancer, MS, and help women who have just got released from prison get their lives together. Also, she has never been drunk or done drugs. Jail was awful and she has ADD.

:rolleyes:

paris is not important news. paris is not what's going on in the world. you should focus on some real news instead, such as the terror plots in the UK.

[luiswtf]

i think in general, though, people are more interested in paris. sadly.

So it seems like this has been whats going on:

UK terror plots

People are hating Bush more and more

Anything else?
