However, overall it's an above-average performance for him.. the questions are good (better than the questions in most political interviews, for sure...), and sometimes his answers actually answer the questions.
Part of the interview:

It certainly is true that these issues are incredibly difficult... Russia invading Georgia, China's human rights record, China's support for the government of Sudan (eg. supporting the violence in Darfur), etc... the question is, on the one hand we can say "don't do that" or "that's bad" all we want, but when we're doing our own horrible things like Iraq, it gives them a slightly better excuse to ignore it than they would have otherwise.
But of course, with how they always do just ignore us when we talk about human rights, how much is the issue worth pushing? I think it is justified anyway, though it would particularly be so if we actually could hold up a higher standard on our side instead of one nearly as bad, and the Chinese government certainly doesn't like it given how they much prefer to avoid such "troubling" issues. But then the question of course becomes "well, should we follow that up with action, and if so what?"
Here Bush of course is opposed to doing anything. Either he still believes the delusion that capitalism will inevitably lead to democracy or he just doesn't care (about how China is an autocracy). I'd bet on the latter of course... but any serious actions we could take would hurt us very badly too, so there's good reason to not try them. So yes, certainly very difficult issues... it's good to see Bush actually have to answer such questions once in a while.
On the other side of course, it's notable that Costas doesn't say a word about Iraq. Asking about Darfur and Georgia while dodging our own disaster? He mostly did a good job, but it's too bad he didn't even mention it.
So get this, the upcoming Banjo game will be released along with the original Banjo game. (If you preorder, you get the original free.)
Further more, in an act of utter surprise and "we DO eventually do everything we say we'll do"-itude they have made the old game's stop and swop actually WORK. Things you do in the new game will unlock brand new content in the old game.

yo guys Im a very "faithful" christian and I guess I have a few questions on my mind.. I've been thinking a lot about dating.. but im not sure where to go with that. My buddies have been telling me christian dating is the way to go.. so I've done a little studying on christian dating site The below is a little article I found on google"Online Christian dating can be an effective way in which to meet other singles who have the same religious beliefs as yourself. However, you should be on the lookout for unscrupulous people who join such sites with less than honorable intentions. Not everyone signed up at a Christian dating site is going to have the same morals as yourself. Do not be fooled into a false sense of complacency or security.Think about the ages of the people you would like to meet and date. You can always adjust the age range up or down to get additional matches. Most sites match you with people whose age ranges overlap with yours. If you are a single Christian woman under 30, think what life would be like in 20 years if you date and marry a 55 year old man.It will be good if you wear some good fragrance on your body but it will be better if you use the Christian cologne. This will make your date more pleasant and successful.Christian dating is popular way for Christian single men and women to connect with each other and find out if they might share a life together as husband and wife. Finding a soul mate, making a lifelong friendship and developing a relationship for marriage takes many different routes. Here a few steps to consider.There are quite a few singles who feel Christian chatrooms are a total waste of time. However, many of these folks have had bad experiences because they never learned how to converse in a Christian chatroom. While this does not totally apply to Christian chatrooms, you might find it quite helpful. As one single girl recently told me, "Nothing is quite as annoying, boring and depressing than people who pop in with nothing to say."" What do you fellos think? Any advice? God Bless
I know you'd have to pay the DVD consortium of calamatous intent an extra fee, but wrap up that fee in the price of some special wii-ware channel rather than the price of the system (the same as MS did with the "DVD playback set" for the original XBox) and that won't be a problem.
That said, I honestly don't care about DVD playback. All I'm saying is that Nintendo has no good reason to make a brand new version with a feature the other one technically already has.
I know that americans are annoyed when people tell them who to vote, So I am not going to tell who to vote for.
I do think you should make sure that the leading 3rd party candidate gets the opportunity to debate the Dem/Rep, Having only two parties and two candidates at the presidential debates is complete malarkey.
