Impotent in his efforts against Mexico’s drug cartels, the police chief in Juarez resigned.

Vowing to fight poverty, climate change and the rising price of food, leaders urged co-operation on the production of biofuels, promotion of rural farming, and free trade (how can rural farming and free trade be part of the same solution?

I mean you tell me how am I to market my house when I live next to a “death house”. My kid was awakened last night by the sound of digging in the neighbors front yard. So the kid comes down stairs all upset when I’m eating breakfast complaining about the neighbors digging waking him up. My other neighbor who happened to be over and who was eating a ham bone at the time asked him to clarify if my son my son saw the neighbors “like grave digging?” In order to deal with this now escalating problem Bruce Dern, Tom Hanks, and myself are going to put an end to the neighborhood problems with the help of C actor Corey Feldman. By this time next year Juarez will be synonymous with Beverly Hills and have less drugs than Rush Limbaugh.
