1. Bono is an easy target. Watch him grab headlines while world leaders and politicians slip under the radar.
  2. "passive, minority investor"

    somebody talked him into writing a check. he probably forgot all about a small chunk of a mall in Lithuania...


  3. Yeah, looks like they're feasting upon Lewis Hamilton currently. Have to admit have seen a little clip from tonights Panorama expose and the whole Lord Ashcroft thing looks hilarious.

    Yeah, I saw a figure earlier of £40k or thereabouts, not particularly shocking shocking or gargantually huge, unlike some of the higher echelons of the 'elite' no doubt.

    that's a "drunken favor" check.

    That was last night

  7. Sometimes I just wish Bono or someone would "leak" how much he actually pays in tax in a year and how much he gives to charity. Not that he should have to as its nobody's business but his own but it would be good to shut people up, this just gets so old.

    I dont know if it would. I think when you start thinking your opinions are so much better than everyone elses and you tell them so is when people really get annoyed. Bono could show everyone how he spends his money but when he starts saying what countries should do with theirs or what version of a countries politics are correct he is always going to annoy alot of people. Notice how the other 3 members arent nearly as scrutinized.
