You know … I vote, I speak my mind, and I will always question the decisions of government… but I look at the US government’'s actions from a very limited vantage point. The media cares more about Brittany’s custody case (God, please bless the children), and quick sound bites because that’s what gets the American populace to watch, than a resonable debate about the various candidate’s plans to fix the “issues” facing the US! (and I’m as guilty as as anyone) Oh, but that’s because the candidates don’t: A) wnat to be tied down should they get to office and things aren’t what they seem: B) or, they don’t really have a clue to begin with.!!

I wrote a long dissertation on the various candidates (since deleted), but when I got down to the end it boiled down to this… who of them has esposed a detailed, even moderately detailed, program that begins to address the issues or at least one of the major (terror, financial, social) issues facing the US and the world???

I submit not one of them… not a single one of them… ad hoc ad hominum… thats what I hear!!!

Maybe one of them will …maybe they all will… until they do I reserve judgement! Until some else has the job I wish him luck, health, …'cause if any one needs it he does…

Well enough of this off to my cup ( a good strong Bourbon and water) and then to bed…

Dubya is still to explain how a fully laden passenger aircraft could crash into the Pentagon, leave a hole smaller than a cruise missile would cause and yet the only wreckage retrieved was an impeller disc from a gas turbine, coincidentally used in a cruise missile gas turbine engine and a wheel hub assembly, coincidentally used in a cruise missile variant. Of the seventy plus passengers on that flight, not one body was found. Exactly who is fooling who? Someone voted this person and his war mongering partner into the oval office. Let us hope that the old saying once bitten, twice shy is taken to heart, as the last thing America needs is another Ronald Rayguns type personality in the oval office. At least under Clinton the only things blown were cigars.

Tim,
You said - “At least under Clinton the only things blown were cigars.”

I think my memory is a little different than yours. I remember a first atttack on the WTC, two embassies and the USS Cole having headlines with the word blown used in them in the 1990’s.

Ric,
sorry, the words were a play on the White House aide episode as exampled in the lead posting photograph. Of course, there were many terrorist actions perpetrated in the Clinton years, however, the emphasis was on the aide.

A friend of mine is a bit miffed at me all because I sent her the link to the bumper sticker pic… Her response was “I LIKE Hillary”…and then I said “If anyone could do a WORSE job than Shrub, I think she would”…hehehe

Stevo doesn't sweat it, he just perspires profusely. :lol: :lol:

BTW one of our neighbours has a different kind of bumper sticker, I just have to wait 'til it gets a little warmer today, at present minus 18ºC! Good thing it wasn’t that cold on the weekend!

That is hilarious! OOOOH! Sorry, Warren, I should’ve just said “funny”. Don’t want to upset you, mate!

My current favorite is the one I found on a place called stickergiant.com … Kind of sums up my opinion of underemployment.

Letterman had a tongue in cheek comment the other night as regards the death of Sir Edmund Hillary, ‘conqueror’ of Mount Everest in 1953?. Letterman had a purported response to Sir Edmunds death with a supposed response from Bill. Bill’s response was along the lines of ‘like Sir Edmund, I also had to mount something cold and frigid, Mount Hillary.’ Now that would make an excellent bumper sticker.

Mik, we have a saying where I use to work: “What do our employees and circus elephants have in common? They both work for peanuts”.

Warren, our manager was complaining to me one day that we weren’t worth what she paid us “to sit on (our) butts in a chair and smoke cigarettes” (I don’t smoke, and am usually too busy to sit, at least for very long)… then in the next breath she griped how she couldn’t find enough people she could trust for the job. (We work unsupervised)…nothing like wanting it BOTH ways.

You don't seriously think your boss WANTS to pay you, do you?!!
