      I was writing to hopefully get another mention for my store noagendacovers.com, my school project is a fully functional t-shirt store already featuring 22 album covers available for shirts and other merchandise.
      I plan on running it for the next couple years and even have a business plan with long term goals to go with it.
      I know John mentioned no agenda gets a good cut from shill's store. These figures are just for you and john from mine. The album art merchandise has a mark up of $9.99 which between $5 and $7.50 goes to no agenda depending on the artist. The rest goes to me and or the artist if they want a cut. Most don't.
      The rest of the store has $6.66 mark up of which between $3.33 to the full $6.66 goes to no agenda once again depending on the artists.
      I believe the album art is easily one of the most iconic images associated with no agenda and to have people out in the world wearing them will do loads to help propigate the message.
      If you have any questions or would like to see the business plan please let me know.
      Thanks

    gitmo pat down request
      Im leaving gitmo nation hula and they were only using the naked body scanner, the metal detector was blocked off, so naturally I opted out and during the pat down I started singing the national anthem and I was detained and questioned for being defiant towards national security because I made a scene and caused others to opt out. I received an applause from an older couple while I was being escorted to the questioning room. I was allowed to pass after they deemed me not a threat to my country. Overall everything went better than expected. I'd like to make a request of miss Mickey to do the "laugh" on the Sunday show. Thanks guys.

      Delay "Plan Greece 'by arrest Strauss-Kahn - World - UK
        The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn may be some delay before a Greek rescue plan of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) yield. That a Greek government official said today.
      Greek crisis according to Strauss-Kahn
        "The reality is that these people, they are in deep shit," the managing director of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn said recently. "If we had not come they would have fallen into the abyss. Two weeks later the government would not have been able to pay civil servants' wages."

        Gathered at the 18th century former paper mill, which served as an artists' retreat during the Nazi occupation, were finance ministers from Germany, France, Italy and Spain ’Äì the euro's G20 members, Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), and Olli Rehn, EU commissioner for monetary affairs. Top of the agenda was the fate of Greece, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) ’Äì on the hook for ’Ç¨30bn of the original ’Ç¨110bn rescue ’Äì demanded that the EU come up with a new strategy as the Mediterranean country continued to plunge into debt and recession.
      The competition - Francois Hollande - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
        Shortly after his split from Sˆ©golˆ®ne Royal was announced, the French website lepolitique.com published details of a relationship between Hollande and a French journalist, Valˆ©rie Trieweiler. Many considered this to be a breach of France's strict stance on politicians' personal privacy. In November 2007, Valˆ©rie Trieweiler discussed openly her relationship with Hollande in an interview with French weekly Tˆ©lˆ© 7 Jours.
        He is seen as a leading contender for the socialist nomination as candidate for the 2012 presidential election.[3]
      Leftist
        "Can one be leftwing and very rich?" asked Jean-Jacques Bourdin, a commentator on French radio station RMC. "If Sarkozy represented for many the 'bling-bling' right then Dominique Strauss-Kahn is, whether he likes it or not, a representative of the left 'vroom vroom'.

      "We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest."
