    This has to have been the best day in American politics for what? Eight years?

    Oh, and sarge, "When my taxes go up, I'm going to charge the difference to all the Obama supporters here."

    Just how much do you earn on that paper round? I'm sure Obama can get…

    Love this bit:

    McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov Sarah Palin, also referred to Biden’s comments and said Tuesday that Obama’s own foreign policy proposals would spark the crises that would test him as president.

    And of course, should a president mcain leave this mortal coil palin would be well equpped…

    Thailand is a country still comining to terms with democracy. Not so long ago bringing out the army was the norm when people showed dissent. Perhaps it is still happening now. But in my view, give Thailand a decade or so and the will of the people will shape the…

    Perhaps i haven't been paying close attention but did not some former "defence" secretary talk about the dead enders, no-hopers and the remmanents of Saddamists? Some years ago perhaps? So now we are at the same point? But this time it is the AQ imploding? How I miss the days…

    I recently left Japan after nine years. And as one earlier poster said - you turn it on and it is there. Worked just fine and then a bit better for me (apart from the time the provider called me up and told me to stop using e-mule from whence…

    Hmmmm. Vietnam led to bombings in Cambodia. This is similar. Puppet and frequent white house "good friend" dictator Musharaff has gone and the US now feel free to bomb yet another country. A religious school - sounds dangerous. Guess there were no weddings on that day.

    I can't help but ask of those people who are now claiming that she is the obvious choice, wonderfully experienced etc - if someone had mentioned her name to you last week would you have known who they were talking about?

    And just to add one more thing - when NZ made it to the finals in 1982 they got there by beating China in a play off, not a South American team. Quite a feat when you think about it - nation of 3 million beating a nation of one…
