To summarise, Iraq al qaeda 9/11 Bin laden.
That's beautiful. The edited speech looked like the rolls of paper that would go through those automated player pianos.
RIP ChronicNecrosis
That was a very interesting read. Why doesn't anyone in the media call him on his bullsh*t? Does he think that if he repeats it enough, people might start believing him?
Check that, it worked four years ago.
Somewhere on a deep ocean vent no man has ever seen, God smites a small colony of tube worms because you masturbate.-JoeBedurndurn, on sin
I made this prediction about two years ago and have even surprised myself with how true it has become. The observation I made was that you could count on the American people to reject the Bush*te message eventually because we are notoriously easily bored. The tired message of "be scared" and "my dick is bigger" is nearly played out with the American audience. All the joystick manipulation of the "terror alert level" with "gut feelings", monotone chanting of "al Qaeda = Saddam", or humiliating searches by incompetent airport screeners can't retard the progress of American ennui.
Bravo America. Sorry, Cheney. We're done with you.
There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism,... those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
Paleo,
You consistently confuse me. I'm a man of the left, yet I find I agree with you regularly.
You make me feel politically bisexual.
Rhymes with 'yidcaff'. I don't use smilies. Imagine a wink and a wry grin at the end of most of my sentences. I don't like using exclamation marks either. I'm more friendly than you imagine.
What is "leftist" in the UK, anyway? Relaxed school uniform codes and Scottish rights?
We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.
I don't think common sense should be a partisan issue.
Did the Bush Administration recently replace a speechwriter with an intern from the Colbert Report?
People on the left in the UK generally want us to pull out of Iraq and to have more government involvement in business, no/less business involvment in government and public services. (Or at least for it to be better managed.)
And I don't think we'd mind if Scotland is independent.
I had actually written out a long post, but I've been online long enough to know that one should keep the detail of one's politics to oneself.

1Dgaf one of the wonderful things about paleo that I have noticed. Is that you cannot put him a bin. I have never met paleo but I highly respect his simplicity of being complex. Multi layered yet laid plainly to see on the surface.
Go for their eyes boo

Just to nit-pick, but the UK covers Scotland so I'm sure there are few there that do mind
Also saying that the left is against the war when the Labour Party voted for it does confused that a little but I do understand where you are coming from.
Basically Souldaddy the whole left and right labels are very hard to apply in Europe. Honestly, it only really works in the US system really. Most politicians are labelled with a mix of these words: conservative, socialist or liberal.
So to clear this all up. The UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland ( Not Rep. of Ireland ). And socialism in Europe isn't Stalin lead death squads seizing private property but free education and universal healthcare.
