Jolie: USA Should Extend 'No Child Left Behind" to All World's Children

She's endorsed Gordon Brown and Labour in Britain. I would hazard a guess she wants to be Madonna's neighbour.

Please, would you keep her over there.

I'm a strong advocate for "No wife left behind", Angie.

"Because she is stupid. To say that "Laura Bush should nudge her husband" shows just how stupid Jolie is. "

Sounds the opposite to me. She used an opportunity to politely advance her mission. If you don't like her, fine, but she's far from stupid.

Having been to Cambodia and other third world countries, I think her efforts are quite admirable and I applaud her for them. She's not being ugly with her demands, but she is trying to bring attention to the plight of the worlds hopeless children.

Why in the world would anyone want Angelina "extending herself" to them? Probably been more people thru there than Grand Central Station.

Not enough antibiotics in all the earth to make that appealing IMHO.

Alright, then...how about this:

It's about as likely as David Spade dating Heather Locklear. Nevermind.....that's a bad example.

[D-Chivas]

She's eaten Brad Pitt. Now she's going to try to eat the world.

Would be like throwing hot dogs down a hallway.

Uh, you misspelled KIELBASAS!

"And once we make them legal they will pay taxes." I therefore propose a "excess profit" tax on entertainers and professional athletes of 99.99 percent above 150K per year. Lets treat them like "big oil."

Well there is a legacy to be remembered by

[Sarabeth]

We are suppose to listen to someone who just recently acquired morals? Besides, let her park her jet, and keep up whatever country is the flavor of the moment.

Why is it that the MSM have to run to Hollywood for their opinions? Do they really think we care what Angelina Jolie thinks about saving the world or what Sean Penn thinks of the situation in Iraq??? Most of these people are high school drop-outs.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I would hazard a guess she wants to be Madonna's neighbour.

And a hazard that would be... The Empire is in peril... maybe they could both be camp followers for the Royal Marines after a few pints before they get much more worn?

Though I doubt any respectable Royal Marine would oblige their services...

A Partial Alternative List to Angelina's Priorities:

1. Security against death, harm, slavery, rape
2. Access to sufficient food and clean water
3. Access to medicine and medical treatments
4. Security in faithful and caring relationships
5. Access to an education in skills to earn a living

Whenever I want to better understand world events, I turn to Angela Jolie.

[Montfort]

But let one poor African slip past the security (including live lions) and take up residence in an unoccupied bungalow in that resort she has booked for privacy, and he or she will be booted out immediately.

Look, as a percentage of national budget, perhaps the UK is spending three times our amount on refugee and overseas indigent aid. However, Jolie should have acknowledged that we are spending prodigious amounts of taxpayers money on these issues, that Millenium Challenge would have an impact in the long run, and that the President's anti-AIDs program dwarfs that of other countries.

I don't hold too much of a grudge against her because she does take the time to actually familiarize herself with the issues without becoming overtly political, but it would help if she would remember that Republicans form part of her fundraising base.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Brains, beauty, fidelity.

She must be a conservative........

:-)

[Clovis_Skeptic]

she's pretty .. but what else does she have to offer

I can't post a picture here that shows that!
