Writing Task 4

Micronations, microstates, imaginary countries, countercountries, unrecognized nations, or ephemeral states, are all terms for countries which have been declared independent by (usually eccentric) individuals or small groups, but unlike other such attempts, fail to achieve widespread diplomatic recognition. Many have only one inhabitant; others are larger. Most seem to consist of a single Grand Poobah, with or without a coterie of petits Poobahs. Talossa, however, counts over 50 citizens who have been part of its wild multiparty political structure. And there are reportedly 20,000 people with Hutt River citizenship or honours--more than several members of the UN! I got this information from this site

My point of few is that a micronation is like a nation inside a bigger nation. It's like the sub nation.

Bush apology but Rumsfeld stays

The Australian News

PRESIDENT George W. Bush apologised for the first time yesterday for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US troops and criticised Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for not keeping him informed about problems at the US prisons in Iraq.

Rumsfeld and other top Pentagon workers are due to be mad on the abuse today by the armed services committees of both the Senate and House of Representatives. "I told him I should have known about the pictures and the report," he said - an apparent reference to a Pentagon document completed in March, detailing what appeared to be a pattern of abuse. But he called Rumsfeld "an important part of my Cabinet," and said that he would reman so.

Bush said he told Abdullah that the photos made him and others "sick to our stomachs." And he said he made it clear that "wrongdoers will be brought to justice."

Bush made his comments at a joint Rose Garden news conference with the king.
Bush rejected calls for U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign for his handling of the Iraqi prisoner abuse crisis.

"He is an important part of my Cabinet and he will stay in my Cabinet," Bush said.
Earlier in the day, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, demanded Rumsfeld leave office.

"For the good of our country, the safety of our troops, and our image around the globe, Secretary Rumsfeld should resign," Harkin said in a statement. "If he does not resign forthwith, the president should fire him."

Writing Task 1

Blunt Review for starsky and hutch Author Emily Blunt

What a cast! Owen Wilson (who is always entertaining), Ben Stiller (seldom dull) Vince Vaughn, and Snoop Dogg (does a great job as Huggy Bear) Emily Blunt says. Stiller and Wilson ride a different vibe than David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser (the original stars of the 70's show, btw, they cameo). While it's never plain bad, the film is not really plain good, and very seldom plain funny. (Mildly amusing fits.) Though there is this one hands-down-hilarious scene where a small Korean boy defends his father with kitchen steak knives. It comes out of nowhere and cracks up the audience like no other sequence before it or after it.

Those in the know will also enjoy Wilson singing Hutch's pop hit song, "Don't Give up on Us Baby." David Soul recorded it in the 70's. Great to see that famous Gran Torino back in action. I have to admit, I used to pretend to be Starsky when I was nine, and my best bud (the blonde), he was Hutch. But, I'm not nine anymore, and this picture was probably as good as the TV series was -- a or solid B. Emily Blunt seemed to enjoy the movie adn thought the audience liked it also.


Bruce Almighty by Rob Blackwelder.
There first impression of the movie is a bit predictible and they seem to have got a bit bored from it but as he writes he says "The film hits home runs with both highbrow and lowbrow gags" which
means he thinks they have set the movie out really good.
Jim Carrey may be unconvincing as a TV newsman in "Bruce Almighty" He needs a hair cut and a new sense of fashion. he holds his microphone like he doesnt no how to talk into it. God decides to give Bruce all his powers to see how different and hard it is to control everything. Bruce finds out the advantages of it but also the disadvantages. He can lift up girls dresses which he enjoys and he can make his wifes boobs bigger. But he does find it hard to store all the prays that ppl give every day and he thinks to solve this problem he will say yes to every pray. The next day because everything has come true for ppl the world is going crazy and the city is getting torn appart. Bruce panics and goes to see god again and wants him to take his powers back. God does and everything is put back to normal and Bruce becomes a news man and they live happily ever after.
