					<description><![CDATA[Greetings from Prishtina.  Here are some more excuses from an all-time classic:
&quot;I ran outta gas. I had a flat tyre. I didn&#039;t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn&#039;t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts. It wasn&#039;t my fault!! I swear to God!!&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[“I am here because I believe: I believe that every little girl should have the same chances of success in life as my own daughters.&quot;
Said by Joey of &#039;&#039;hemberger fame&#039;&#039;.. How condescending can one be?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You have got to be kidding. Where and when did he say it? How successful can a couple of toddlers be, for heaven&#039;s sake? Oh, I see - he&#039;s taking it for granted that they&#039;re going to be successful. Well, let&#039;s hope they learn to dress better than their mother and have better manners than their father. And let&#039;s hope the fool learns how dangerous it is to predict your children&#039;s future and their choices in life. I&#039;ve lost count of the number of parents I know who were brought up short by a gay son after banging on against gays for years, or who have had to cope with anorexic daughters after running down other parents for having one, or being faced with sons with a cocaine problem after dismissing the neighbour&#039;s son as a useless drug addict. Predict success for your daughter when she&#039;s one year old and before you know it, she&#039;s 16 and pregnant or 18 and running off with a loser. Too, too risky, but only a git like this wouldn&#039;t see it. You&#039;ve got to wait until they&#039;re at least 20 to get any kind of indication as to how they&#039;ve turned out.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
