President Ahmadinejad at Tehran conference questioning the Holocaust: Ahmadinejad, who has sparked international outcry by referring to the killing of 6 million Jews in World War II as a "myth" and calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map," launched another verbal attack on the Jewish state. "Thanks to people's wishes and God's will, the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards, and this is what God has promised and what all nations want," he said. (Watch an ex-KKK leader say why he's at the conference ) "Iran is your home and is the home of all freedom seekers of the world," Ahmadinejad said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Radio consolidation is shrinking playlists and creating a homogenized musical landscape, several singers and songwriters told the Federal Communication Commission on Monday. "Big radio is bad radio," Rick Carnes, president of the Songwriters Guild of America, told FCC commissioners in the second of six public meetings nationwide. "You can drive I-40 from Knoxville to Barstow, California, and hear the same 20 songs on every country radio station." Carnes was among several writers and performers who addressed the panel. Most urged the commissioners to put more restrictions on media ownership or at least hold the line on current regulations. Read More

Some people buy in to the philosophies of the President of Iran. He can be charasmatic, but I find him to be arrogant and just as warmongering as Bush. He is currently hosting this conference a Conference which questions whether the holocaust really happened. As a result, I will never listen to anything this guys has to say again - shame on him and shame on Iran.
