Don't forget the blood-sucking French banks either, willi, who've got to keep on giving to support this third-world-esque, corrupt state.
The banks will be passing the cost of either loss on to us customers anyway.
Vive la Révolution.

Jackson knew what he was doing, he can hardly be painted as the victim in this. If Murray hadn't agreed to it, and army of sleaze-ball Hollywood Quacks would have been jostling to administer the drug into his arm.
Malpractice would seem more logical than manslaughter.

Heh, the same could be said the other way 'round, Super.
Obama is right in singling our banking system out but I agree with Chrisitna that it's a bit hypocritical as many Euro-banks were caught up in the American problem having taken US risks.
The Greek problem isn't just going to go away, French and German banks have too much to lose after giving them ridiculous loans. Why we keep bailing them out I don't know, it's time to kick the Greeks out of the single currency. Beautiful place but as corrupt as your next third-world country.
I'd like to think the banks would be held accountable instead of passing on the cost of their mistakes tot he customer in the time-honoured tradition.

I agree, it's hardly the cowardly, ladida "sport" of fox hunting, the matadors risk their lives against a magnificent beast in fury.
I breed dogs and care for my animals, but bull-fighting is well down the list of man's inhumanity to beast.....there are how many events on the calender?

"Is that vanity or stupidity?"
Heh, it's stupidity.
Stupidity born from acute partisanship, since most of them probably haven't a pot to piss in. But I imagine those uber-rich who are concerned by any tax hike have a little smile about said stupidity.

Farmboy,
I couldn't believe anyone woud want to pick up the pieces after GWB. I guess many have realized this 4 years on and are waiting for better times before presenting themselves.
The Repub line-up for the minute ranges from the amusing to the quite frightening at the minute.

After the "intelligence" that sent you to Iraq? Seargeo?
Pu-lease. That call took real balls, and if you doubt, imagine the fall-out from a botched raid on a target un-ananounced, in a soveriegn territory that already has a good part of an un-educated population that despises everything America is?
Bush failed to catch da man, despite igniting the bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan that America can't afford to pay for.
The car was out of control, despite the change of pilot. A chain-reaction, even when a better technician is sent to the controls, is still prisoner to the explosion inevitabilty.

The Dems won't rock the Obama boat. Hilary is the obvious answer but she'll wait in my opinion. I'd like to think the Repubs haven't got a credible candidate, but then the double dubya election sends a slap to the face of any kind of expectations of voter reason.
The Dems simply don't know how to get as down and dirty like the Repub Slime Machine, and are therefore for that reason not competetive IMO.

More to the point, why would a clearly fanatical Republican attempt to pass itself off as a Democrat, albiet poorly?

Heh, Americans elected Bush junior too, twice, remember. Only not just Americans paid the price.
I think Obama was given over high expectations, but I concur that he has failed to deliver. I don't think it's fair to say it's all his fault mind, he took the proverbial wheel in opposite-lock steering while the car was in a nasty four-wheel slide...
OBL in a bodybag and that gutsy call (read political balls in titanium) is enough for me to see the man is a leader.
The Democrats in the US a poor at their own PR in my opinion.

I just checked him out too :)
Maybe the colonel could try taking himself hostage at the end, a la Blazing Saddles. I have to say he really is showing his shared DNA with the cockroach for just simply existing still.

Heh, whatever happened to old Comical Ali? I hope the Americans didn't hang him too. Gadaffi could use hime right now as he's clearly going to fight down to the last line of his coke stash.
But yeah I agree, resistance is futile. Why anyone is prepared to fight to the death when the inevitable is obvious is beyond me, mad dog Gadaffi aside.

Obama inherited a mess, anyone stating otherwise has no grasp on reality.
His performance however is up for debate. Personally I think 4 years is slightly too short a term...
Especially when the media hysteria and the mud-slinging commences around US election time.

Racism? Heh, this is now your argument?
Wow. I'm stunned. You are that far gone.
At no point have a talked about the original case, nor proclaimed his innocence, merely pointed out that there is certainly reasonable doubt.
He's dead. Be happy brother.

Medvedev as premiere, Putin as advisor with special powers?
Give it up.
Gorbachev had it wrong but he was a true statesman. Russia is has becomza a capitalist dictatorship, probably the first of its' kind.
