Gee, do ya think the Faux News crews might come up with anything negative to say about the situation then????

Then it would be just typical of the Democrats to so cavalierly insult the memory of an American Hero.

Buckles... had been the last surviving American veteran of World War I.

UPDATE (In the interest of fairness to the "Weeper of the House." )

According to an 03/08/2011 article in the NYT, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has also apparently turned down (or at least failed to take action on) the requests that were made for a Capitol Rotunda honor for America's last doughboy.

Bullshit without the substance. But when they shake their tin cup at you it may be wise to give them something least they give you a blast of their own.

Georgina ( I don`t have to pay for my own bi-weekly holidays abroad do i ?) Osbourne




She unleashes a budget that`ll not only rape our wallets our communities and our national pride ,but`ll also leave us 300 billion worse off in roughly three years time

Result = The corporation controlled media goes wild , pats us on out collective heads and tells us that due to all of his misjudged misery one undetermined day in the far off well distant future we`ll be in clover

You know just like we never all weren`t back in 2006 , when we were the fourth richest nation in the world and had never had it so good

Then again i shouldn't be too harsh of old Osbourne as he has removed an entire whole one penny off fuel


Just a shame that before he did so he increased it by five


Ahhhhh political triple talk , where would we be without it






All a damn sight better off that`s where

Yes, and let's not forget that 2% cut in corporation tax. That means that Vodafone will be paying even less than they are now (not taking into account their tax avoidance schemes that rob Britain of millions (if not billions) of pounds per year). I'm sure there are lots of other corporations that are busy avoiding paying the tax they owe the Exchequer. He's also made sure that banks won't pay less tax as a result. Nice try, Gorgy Porgy, but as banks like Barclays and HSBC have tax avoidance schemes that again rob Britain of millions/billions of pounds per year, it's not going to make any bloody difference to them!

So according to Ozzy, serial tax dodgers will now pay even LESS tax, with the intent of somehow writing off Britain's debt. Great idea Goebels err... sorry, George!

Feedback from the oil companies and the petrol retailers (frequently the same guys) on the 1p cut in duty and the windfall tax on oil production revenues.

Bullshit Alert One:

The levy on increased oil profits will negatively impact on future oil exploration investment and cost tens of thousands of jobs. This is rubbish: investment decisions are based on anticipated returns and even after the tax these returns are higher by far and projected to be higher by far over the next 5 years than over the last 5 years. On this basis, rational investors will invest and pay this tax and still be quids in compared with their predecessors 5 years ago. The structure of the North Sea and British Atlantic oilfield exploration is changing as the biggest fields start to wind down; larger numbers of smaller companies are entering the game, focused on developing much smaller fields which the bigs boys will not explore. Legislation had to be passed to force the likes of Shell and BP to allow these independents, for a fair fee, to use the pipelines Shell and BP built to pump the oil and gas which Shell and BP considered uneconomic to pump. My point is the big oil companies are not entrepreneurial and weren't going to invest in extending the productive life of North Sea oil anyway; increasingly it's much smaller companies which are getting the oil. This poses a regulatory and safety risk (they're poorer and harder to police than BP and look what BP did in the Gulf of Mexico) but they will not be put off by political spite against this levy provided they see a good profit to be made.

Bullshit Alert Two:

The reduction in petrol duty should have been delayed for a week so that the existing stocks, bought wholesale at the old price, can be sold at the old price and the retailers won't suffer an unjust hit. By this same logic, when the wholesale price rises due to commodity speculation or a rise in duty, the retailers would continue to sell the old stock at the old, cheaper price, and raise the price only when they start selling the more expensive new stock. I have heard this point put to the retailers and their spokespeople before and they explained that they set their price as a mark-up on replacement cost, so when the wholesale price goes up, the pump price has to go up right away.

They've confused me in their minds with their other customer: Mr Shit-For-Brains.

Political slavery through being dictated to by supposed democratic leaders who have manipulated and shamed the very word

Maybe it`s time for us fearless forumers to form a movement of our own

This thread seems to be the most appropriate one for posting the advertisement for this little horror-fest that's scheduled for today:



I'd say that the residents of Montara, California should all beware of the dangerous and highly toxic conditions -- which could possibly lead to permanent brain injury -- occurring in the vicinity of 1430 Audubon Avenue throughout the evening of March 24, 2011.

Geez, if I wasn't aware of who conservative talk-show host and former member of Congress Joe Scarborough is, I'd hafta start wondering if every conservative named Joe was a total f*cking moron.
