    Default Czechs reject new US radar base.

    Residents of a Czech village have voted against hosting a US anti-missile radar station, fearing it will make the village a military target, amid a gathering of anti-war protesters in the nation's capital.

    Only one person in Trokavec was in favour of the US plan, in voting on Saturday, while 71 residents rejected the radar station.

    Do they fear that North Korea or Iran will strike that radar first to launch the second rocket safely directly to Washingtone?)

    What they personally should consider first is the high-intensivity radiation of the micro-wave generator which is unavoided company for the radar of that mighty range type.

    One now wonders whether or not this symbolic vote will make any difference.

    Disney and McDonalds do not enter places where there is no market. Use your head.

    And good for the Czech Republic. We wont have a radar base in the Czech Republic now. Anyone pissed about Wisconsin and Texas losing in the tournament? Anybody watch Grey's Anatomy last Thursday?

    Oh right, a smartass nitpicker.
    Apparently, they do. Use yours.

    It has withstood mudslinging, cash crunches, strikes and bouts of anti-Americanism. But now Disneyland Paris, 12 years old and slowly being strangled by debt, is undergoing the challenge of its life. The biggest tourist attraction in Europe is facing a standoff with its creditors that could send operator Euro Disney into bankruptcy.

    Yep, who'd want their kids - or themselves - anywhere near that?
