(CNN) -- The U.S. commander in Afghanistan on Monday criticized a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Quran on September 11, warning the demonstration "could cause significant problems" for American troops overseas.
"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan," Gen. David Petraeus said in a statement issued Monday.
The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, plans to mark the anniversary of al Qaeda's September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington by burning copies of the Muslim holy book. The church insists the event is "neither an act of love nor of hate," but a warning against what it calls the threats posed by Islam.

Burning Bridges
Good riddance to former phony, two-faced "friends". "Friends" who are snobs. Cowardly "friends" who have nothing better to do than to gossip about me, rather than say things to my face. (Thanks for that, S.L.) "Friends" who have ulterior motives for "friending" me on Facebook. "Friends" who have lost their sense of humor due to supposed maturity. Male "friends" who are hen-pecked and listen to whatever their wives decree, forgetting what my "shtick" used to be, and still is. If certain individuals can influence you that much, regardless of how well you SHOULD know me, and THEY don't, then you essentially don't exist as far as I am concerned. "Friends" who have to bring their wives/husbands/girlfriends/boyfriends with them wherever they go. Here's a tip...if she/he/it is not specifically invited, DON'T bring her/him/it. That sure would save a hell of a lot of trouble.
I don't need your shit. You have no idea what a relief it is to be free of you if that's the way you have become, or always were, unbeknowst to me.
Believe you me, when the realization of how you were, or have become, took shape, there was not even a feeling of loss for you sad and sorry individuals.
BTW: Notice that no names were mentioned here, but if the shoe fits...

Wyclef Jean Fighting to Get Name on Haiti Presidential Ballot
(CNN) -- Hip-hop singer Wyclef Jean said Sunday he will contest a pronouncement from Haitian election officials ruling him ineligible to run for president of Haiti.
"After careful consideration and much soul-searching, I have made the decision to contest Haiti's board of elections' pronouncement stating that I am ineligible to run for the presidency of the country," Jean said in a statement. "I will be seeking a solution through legal channels, and I urge my countrymen to be patient through this process."
Jean's name was not on the list of 19 approved candidates released Friday night by Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council. At the time, Jean said, "I respectfully accept the committee's final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same."
Hey Rich...
Did you find whatever you were looking for? You seemed to like that Rhode Island posting, among other interesting things that you looked at. Gee, if I didn't know better...ah, never mind.
If you're looking for dirt, just ask. I'll be glad to let you know anything that you desire.
