  19. Where is the best place to hide a welfare check? Under the work boots.
  20. Could you clarify that last sentence? It may be me. don't know.
  21. This is how a Brit views our current political campaign. Maybe being out of our mainstream media, their view may be more valid than our own. A pistol-packin' Looby Loo: the Left's worst nightmare In the words of the great political philosopher, they all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round. They're all laughing, too, at John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate. They took one look at this pistol-packin' momma and reacted like John McEnroe to a disputed line call--they went nuts. Certainly, the pick came, as the Americans say, out of left field. But Sarah Palin is centre stage now, and suddenly the game is on. Stern, God-fearin', gun-totin' Sarah Palin. Will she get the last laugh? Back at you: Democrats say Sarah lacks the experience for the top job - but neither do Obama or Biden But that hasn't stopped Middle Americans adopting it as an anthem. Mellencamp must be just as horrified as Springsteen was when Ronald Reagan purloined his anti-war Born In The USA as a campaign song. It's not that the Americans don't do irony, as E uropean 'sophisticates' always maintain. It's just that sometimes, my dear, they don't give a damn. A good song is a good song - and to hell with the message. Most Americans were born and raised in a small town. Her values are their values. The mantra from the Obama camp is that she lacks the experience to be VP. In truth, she has more executive experience than either Obama or his Neil Kinnock-impersonator sidekick mate Joe Biden, neither of whom has ever run anything. But, wail the sceptics, what about foreign affairs? Admittedly, Palin has never slagged off her country at a mass rally in Berlin. But Alaska's next door to Russia. She's got more experience of dealing with Russians than anyone outside of corporate hospitality at Stamford Bridge. Who is Putin more likely to be wary of - Barack 'we must negotiate with dictators' Obama, or Looby Loo packing heat? To paraphrase the Duke of Wellington, I don't know what she does to the enemy, but she scares the life out of me. Palin reminds me of the old joke about what's the difference between the IRA and a woman with PMT? (did he mean to say PMS?) You can negotiate with the IRA. What she does have in spades is experience of the energy industry - the number one concern right now. Palin would drill, drill and drill some more - polar bears or no polar bears. And when the oil companies got greedy, she imposed a windfall tax. Unlike Gordon Brown, who'd keep it, she gave every Alaskan a $1,200 rebate. With all the hoop-la, it's easy to forget that she's running for Vice-President, not President. Not yet. Sarah Palin: The next Margaret Thatcher? Time will tell... That's what really frightens her condescending opponents. Not that we've a leg to stand on in Britain. We've got Harriet Harman a chewed fingernail away from the top job - and she's never shot a moose in her life. Remember, they all laughed at Margaret Thatcher. But ho, ho, ho, who had the last laugh? At the very least, McCain has got a wonderful sense of mischief - a quality sadly lacking in most politicians. The way the Left, both here and in America, are contorting themselves is a joy to behold. Sarah Palin is every Guardianista's worst nightmare. It's reminiscent of how they used to patronise Mrs Thatcher 30 years ago. What did this small-town girl know about anything? How could any woman expect to run a country and raise a family? What does she know about foreign affairs? Of course, they weren't saying that a woman couldn't be Prime Minister, you understand. Just not this woman. Shirley Williams would have been fine, but this ghastly, lower middle- class Snobby Roberts woman from Grantham, of all places - AAARGH! It's been hilarious watching the sisterhood tie themselves in knots over Sarah Palin. They've been in full Glenda Slagg mode - dontcha just hate her, dontcha just love her? On the one hand she's a feisty, capable woman shaking up the political establishment, while juggling a family and career. I don't know how she does it. But on the other, she's a Godfearing, gun-totin', good ol' girl. She hunts, she fishes - she's a Republican, for goodness' sake. Sarah Palin is every red-blooded redneck's fantasy figure, every randy schoolboy's Mrs Robinson. She could have stepped straight out of one of long-lost cousin Michael's Ripping Yarns. Cheerleader, beauty queen, dominatrix of the Harper Valley PTA, mother of five, mayor, governor and now a heartbeat away from the Vice-Presidency. You couldn't make her up. Law And Order's Fred Thompson, once a presidential candidate himself, hit the baby seal on the head when he said the Left were in a blind panic over what to do about Palin. Joke's on you: John McCain, displaying a sense of mischief rare in politics, with his choice of Sarah Palin, surrounded by her family, as his running-mate What they are doing is what they usually do when confronted with something which offends their world view - character assassination. Every 'liberal' newspaper and TV network has sent ha tchet men north to Alaska to dig for the dirt beneath the tundra. What they discovered is that 80 per cent of Alaskans think she's doing a great job. A supermarket tabloid is claiming she had an affair, which she denies. Apart from that, the worst the scandal-hounds have come up with is that Palin, as governor, put pressure on a police chief to fire her former brother-in-law. Given that said brother-in-law had beaten up her sister and threatened to kill her father, I'd say that far from abusing her office, she showed considerable restraint. I'm surprised she didn't put a bullet in his head. The big talking point is the pregnancy of Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, who is soon to marry her boyfriend. That's what I call a shotgun wedding! Still, it kills the wild rumour that Bristol is really the mother of Palin's Down's syndrome baby, Trig. You've just got to like a woman who calls her son after a character in Only Fools And Horses. Although it's probably fair to assume she doesn't have a working knowledge of Cockney rhyming slang, otherwise her daughter would never have been christened Bristol. When Palin talks about shattering the glass ceiling, the sisters are supposed to cheer - except most of them suspect her idea of shattering a glass ceiling would be with a both barrels blast from a 12-bore. She epitomises the 'God and guns' mentality at which Barack Obama and his supporters sneer. They use 'small town' as a pejorative term. That's not how Middle America sees it. John Mellencamp wrote his hit song Small Town as an ironic take on Hicksville, USA. He even performed it at an Obama rally earlier this year.
  22. I am really hating this idea of bail outs. I mean if I fail my loan or whatever its up to me to sink of swim. I believe thats exactly what they should have to do, not increase the taxpayers debt and just allow the same idiots to do it all over again with no recourse. Screw them. Sink or swim dammit like the rest of us, and be accountable like the rest of us also.
  23. And third this thread is two years old. So speeds have changed considerably. Reply #10 on: June 20, 2006, 07:55:21 PM
  24. That is the way history works. Opinion of course from elders of the great depression. Times were actually better then. Credit is bad. Unless a house purchase is made. And buying to keep up with the jones' simply needs to stop. When it balances back out, then will times get better. Over borrowing is what caused black friday, and its simply a repeat. Like I and Roco have discussed. cash is king, and will be for a while. Borrowed money will soon be null. So find a solid way to make money I"d say. I figure everyone will always have to have a place to rent. So just hanging in there for now. Not getting ahead, but definitely not falling behind either. Again, just my opinions. But ask some old timers that made it through the depression ok, and there you'll have your answer. Its not in the books or media.
