super delegate - "As Bush's presidency nears its end the ankle-biters, in the terminal phase of their collective BDS, are chasing and biting their own tails."

I wonder if the machine can tell if a child is wearing a mask of Prime Minister Fukuda?

My experience (not that I've had a lot) has been mostly positive, although I have been stopped on suspicion of being blonde a couple of times.

The problem isn't police per se. The thing about any society that values harmony and authority over competence and fairness is that it's easier…

Gogogo - Watched or read the new for the last few weeks? Actually it has been announced for a long time already.

Super Delegate - looks like Australia's presence was - like Japan's - just for show to convince the American public that there were actually other countries that supported your government in the so-called "War on Terror."

"Remember the Crusades?"
