What the hell is a “trollip”? LOL

When you try to insult someone the goal is not to come off looking dumber than your target.

Try again and get a dictionary.

The lack of education and brain power among the trolls is very amusing and very telling.

…that stupid dress. Very overdressed and very wrongly dressed for the occasion. Hey Angelina - Washington DC ain’t Vegas.

===================

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and you certainly don’t know what is appropriate attire in Washington. Do you really think that women in Washington don’t get dressed up for evening galas. The only ones who don’t are women working until the last minute and racing to get to the event from work - and they usually manage to pull off an evening dinner suit like the woman on the left.

This was an evening gala awards and fundraising event at the Kennedy Center. All the other women were wearing evening wear as well. Jolie’s dress was perfectly appropriate.

Stop talking about things of which you have no experience or knowledge. Again, you come off like an ignorant hick.

ANGELINA! YOU GOT SOME BIG ASS LIPS BUT GOT THE BODY TO BACK IT UP AND I COMMEND YOU ALOT FOR TAKING ORPHANS INTO YOUR HOME DOING SOMETHING THAT THE BABIES REAL MOMIES AND DADIES WERE TO SORRY TO DO.

Thanks JJ;)

The Next President and the ‘Surge’

The Next President and the ‘Surge’

The “new way forward” in Iraq is now a waiting game. In testimony before the U.S. Congress on April 8 and 9, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the coalition commander in Iraq, called for an open-ended suspension (AP) of troop withdrawals scheduled to begin this summer. While security has improved, he said conditions in Iraq rule out the kind of withdrawal timetable put forth by the two leading Democratic presidential candidates. President Bush endorsed that view Thursday. “I’ve told him he’ll have all the time he needs,” Bush said. That means roughly 140,000 soldiers will remain on the ground at least through the summer. Bush also announced a reduction in the standard Iraq tour to twelve months from the current fifteen, something many senior commanders have been lobbying for.

For Iraqi civilians the situation is equally tenuous. The International Organization for Migration estimates a total of 2.7 million Iraqis have been displaced within Iraq since 2003, with an additional 2.4 million forced abroad. Angelina Jolie, who cochairs CFR’s Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, says Iraq’s child refugees need special attention (Video).

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) - It’s considered one of the Bush administration’s biggest debacles, but this year’s presidential hopefuls - even Democrats - have been mostly silent on rebuilding the Big Easy and the rest of the Gulf Coast.
The subject rarely gets a mention in debates. Candidates don’t usually discuss Gulf Coast rebuilding unless they’re in the region. And all three remaining hopefuls bury discussion of it on their Web sites.
‘I would have thought Democrats would be pouncing on this issue…I’m shocked they’re not.’
— Jeff Crouere, New Orleans political talk show host
Sen. Barack Obama gives the issue the most prominent play, but it still plays second fiddle on his site to such issues as “Family” and “Faith.” His Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, and presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain challenge even the most ardent Internet surfers to unearth the two candidates’ plans for the region.
“They’ve all ignored us, really,” said Jeff Crouere, a political talk-show host in New Orleans. “There’s a statement here and there. They fly by.”
What surprises Crouere more than anything is that neither Clinton nor Obama seem to be paying much attention to Katrina response, widely acknowledged to be one of the Bush administration’s worst blunders.
“I would have thought Democrats would be pouncing on this issue,” he said. “I’m shocked they’re not.”
It’s quickly becoming apparent to New Orleanians that 21/2 years after Katrina deluged three-fourths of their city, a slew of problems with slow-footed bureaucracies, patchwork hurricane protection, exorbitant insurance costs and skittish residents afraid to rebuild may not be resolved with the next presidency - regardless of who wins.
Officials in New Orleans and Louisiana are conceding much of the nation has forgotten the images of families being airlifted off the roofs of their waterlogged homes, ignored for days in crowded and dangerous public arenas and evacuated to far-flung parts of the nation.
They’re not expecting a lot of sympathy. And it seems clear that while some candidates may be more sympathetic to their plight, other issues such as Iraq and the economy may divert their attention for some time.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards opened and closed his now-defunct presidential bid in New Orleans, highlighting the region’s plight as well as perceived Bush administration failures, but little mention has been made since.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican who took the statehouse reins from Democrat Kathleen Babineaux Blanco in January, says some of the locals have been keeping tabs on how often the presidential candidates mention the recovery effort in their campaigns.
“Nobody’s doing really well, I’ll be honest with you,” Jindal said.
He says he isn’t giving up, though. Charitable efforts have not slowed down, and that should translate into demands for more federal action.
“More important to me is the commitment after the election,” Jindal said. “If I had to choose between somebody who talked about us a lot and did nothing versus someone who didn’t talk about us but came through on our priorities, I’d obviously choose the latter.”
Katrina hits
New Orleans’ troubles began the morning of Aug. 29, 2005, when Katrina smashed into the Louisiana coast with a storm surge that reached 20 feet in some places, sending water over the top of levees east of the city, and completely submerging structures in areas such as the Lower Ninth Ward and St. Bernard Parish.
The storm also created a surge in Lake Pontchartrain north of New Orleans, filling up canals that stab into the heart of city’s northern and western neighborhoods. Faulty construction caused walls at three of those canals to give way, pouring in water that rose up to the eaves of many homes.
Reconstruction has been slow, hampered in large part by bureaucratic snafus relating to the federally funded Road Home program. Designed as aid to homeowners who needed help rebuilding, the program struggled with difficulties in processing roughly 150,000 claims. Those problems drew the ire of residents, and played a role in Gov. Blanco withdrawing from a re-election bid last year.
Michael Olivier, former Louisiana Economic Development secretary under Blanco, says that has had an indirect impact on businesses not damaged in the storm. Now a regional president in nearby Gulfport, Miss., for Future Pipe, a maker of fiberglass conduits for the oil and gas industry, Olivier says workers continue to struggle with getting a permanent home.
