Parice ujedinile Busa, Obamu i Mekejna
Obama i Džon Mekejn, predsednički kandidati demokrata i republikanaca, kao i Džozef Bajden, potpredsednički kandidat demokrata, prekinuli su juče kampanju pred američke izbore da bi u svojstvu senatora glasali o vladinom paketu od 700 milijardi dolara namenjenog spasavanju finansijskog sektora SAD. Revidirani plan, čija je prva verzija u ponedeljak doživela krah u Predstavničkom domu Kongresa, predviđa federalni otkup dela akcija u problematičnim bankama u ime poreskih obveznika, a ne prosto pokrivanje dugova koje su one napravile. Iako bi i u ovom slučaju svakog američkog poreskog obveznika ovakva tržišna intervencija administracije predsednika Džordža Buša i dalje koštala oko 2.300 dolara, mediji procenjuju da bi nova verzija plana ipak bila prihvatljivija za građane, ali i njihove zastupnike u Predstavničkom domu. U donjem domu Kongresa plan je u ponedeljak odbijen uz 228 glasova protiv i 205 za osnivanje vladine agencije za spasavanje banaka. Protiv su bila 133 republikanska i 95 demokratskih kongresmena. Za razliku od Predstavničkog doma, u Senatu je pred glasanje, koje je trebalo da bude obavljeno sinoć oko jedan čas posle ponoći po našem vremenu, raspoloženje prema planu bilo pozitivnije. Bela kuća je juče pred glasanje izrazila nadu da će Senat usvojiti plan, a lideri poslaničkih grupa Kongresa ocenili su da se povećavaju šanse da plan bude usvojen i u Kongresu.
Robert Downey Jr., who plays the title character in the upcoming feature film Sherlock Holmes, joins costar Rachel McAdams for the film’s pre-production press conference at Freemasons Hall on Wednesday in London.“I think me and [director Guy Ritchie] are well-suited to working together,” RDJ said. “The more I look into the books, the more fantastic it becomes. Holmes is such a weirdo,”
Also present: British actress Kelly Reilly and costar Mark Strong. McAdams will play Sherlock’s love interest Irene Adler, Mark Strong will play the part of villain Blackwood, Jude Law (not pictured) will play super sleuth sidekick Dr. Watson and Reilly will be Watson’s love interest Mary. This movie has all the right elements to be a box office hit. Let’s hope they do this mystery drama right!
However, Ledger’s insurance company has refused to pay and has been sued in Los Angeles for not paying out $10 million in benefits to his 3-year-old daughter, after the company claimed the Dark Knight actor may have committed suicide, according to court papers.
“There was never any question about the fact that Heath’s estate would go to Matilda,” Ledger’s dad, Kim said. “Never a question. We are very close to Michelle and Matilda.”
