Just another example of what it costs when we decided to be the world's policeman. Costs must now increase because we have decided to impose democratic principles and Christian values on the world. Imposed as specifically stated in George Jr's "State of the Union" speech. Costs that increase when we invent myths (ie Saddam's WMDs) and then decide to impose our will (and myths) on others.

Nations that solve problems with military action rather than using negotiations must create and massively increase Fatherland Security. We could have been smarter. Instead we could have supported and concluded the Oslo Accords rather than subvert them. Or protected and used our massive popularity for rescuing Kuwait. Instead, we created even more enemies. Those costs are a microcosm of costs we incur when we unilaterally impose our extremist will rather than let the world chose to be more like us.

And then are the Rush Limbaugh, et al suggestions that all but encouraged the assassination of Obama. In reality, the greatest threats come from domestic wacko extremists encouraged to kill people in the name of their wacko politics or religion. These wackos even encourage to assassination of abortion doctors - and then openly praise it.

No offense to you, classic. I'm glad it was brought up.

Really, it's ridiculous, but people run around like sheep going "BAH? Bah? Bah bah bah? Well, Bah!" Shocking.
There is an awful lot of that going around right now. That rudderless ship needs a serious tune-up, its almost as bad as Gov't Motors.



Ohh......

So, what do you reckon happened after the date?

I tell you, if I take a girl out and spend upwards of twenty grand showing her a good time, helicopters, planes, limos etc, damn I expect some ACTION afterwards!

You know it totally ruins the mood, when your mother-in-law lives in the same house with you.

Paris date in a little nice bistro, no wine was served.

300 euros

about $425.309 USD for one meal. I can't ever think of a day I spent that much for a meal the size of French portions.

Me too! I had a friend in college who went to Italy for the summer and came back skinny. She said all she ate was pasta but they walked up and down the hilly streets so much it was good for her.

Let's all eat a bunch of pasta and walk around Italy!

The pasta you may have, but you leave those poor snails alone. Sicko.

(Couldn't find a snail-screwing smiley).

I don't believe he can do it. Not without much more spending. So far the job creation promises have been a complete failure.

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Eager to show action on the ailing economy, President Barack Obama promised Monday to speed federal money into hundreds of public works projects this summer, vowing that 600,000 jobs will be created or saved.

Created or saved.

Loophole alert. How are you going to count that?
