The fingerprint part of the bill,
added by the Senate, is hidden in the lengthy bill, which appears to be about bailing out troubled homeowners.
The databased would encompass mortgage lenders, loan originators, and real estate agents.

Come this Fall, the current administration will be movin' out of the spotlight just as Oliver Stone's movie about it is heading to theaters. As
reported earlier this month,
W. will be released October 17, 2008 so it's no wonder the casting news continues to break at a rapid pace. They've got
George and
Laura, and even found their
British Prime minister and National Security Advisor-turned-Secretary of State but one of the most buzzed-about casting slots left to fill was that of Vice President Cheney.

Oliver Stone is trucking right along with his George Bush biopic, W, for which
Josh Brolin has already been tapped to play the current President. Today there's news about
the woman Stone wants to portray First Lady Laura Bush: funny lady Elizabeth Banks.
This just cracks me up.

Though President Bush makes no secret of the influence his faith has on his agenda, rarely has the president mixed the language of faith and God so closely with talk of war and terrorism as he did yesterday in an
address to the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Tennessee. Bush defended his actions in Iraq and Afghanistan with a 42-minute address attributing his faith to his foreign policy.
Coming just one day after
spritual leaders protested President Bush's veto of limits to US interrogation techniques, his speech tying the war to a spiritual quest could raise eyebrows.

An unauthorized cellphone video of the American President-turned-American Idol has leaked on the Internet. Last weekend at the Gridiron, an annual roast attended by political journalists, President Bush sang a lighthearted ode to his time in the White House.
