* The Chairman of the Bar Council of India received a lot of criticism for disparaging lawyers who bill a lot of hours to “work like a clerk.” [Legally India]

First! For the 2nd time!
Second! For the 1st time!
1, CONGRATS!!
2?
And Mark Sanford is a man who has to have truly hated his own life!!
What's the over/under for total billable hours in the Michael Jackson estate battle?
Obama talks tough only when it comes to America or her allies.
When it comes to foreign tyrants, Obama folds like a chair.
The only people that will be going to Cuba are sex tourists. Regardless of what Obama says, the Cuban regime is evil.
You ask if "Obama ready to stand" and post a picture of a handicapped guy right next to it? How insensitive...
It would only be insensitive if Elie asked "is Obama was ready to stand" and Obama himself was in a wheelchair. You know, like fun Joe Biden did that one time to the guy in the wheelchair.
Maybe Obama can half-stand. In honesty, I think that's the best route, go 50/50 on this. Make it okay for admitted homosexuals to have desk jobs in the military like cryptologists or lawyers or translators or whatever. But. for now, ask them to "don't tell" if they are in environments where they either shower with other guys or sleep in close quarters like in a submarine or whatever. Until the day the military allows females to shower with males, the military should probably ask gay individuals to keep their preferences to themselves if they routinely shower in close quarters. (I am presuming cryptologists in military intelligence do not shower together).
First to say 8 is a douchebag! Other countries haven't had problems with gays in the military, showering together and whatnot. Hell, we showered with you in high school gym class and all hell didn't break loose.

9: What "other countries" have a military capable of doing anything?
I think you're making 8's point.
