Y'All Americans are going to have to get used to a more "international" vocabulary under your new Prez. Zagagoolinka [zag-a-goo-lin-ka] v.[Russian]: To suddenly change direction, To swerve unexpectedly, To move in a deceptive or confusing manner. (originally coined during Yeltsin Presidency: "Here comes Boris, zagagoolinkaing his way back from a liquid breakfast!") As President Obama moves into The White House today, the question on everyone's lips must surely be; "Where is the PUPPY"!!?? I'm sure that he said: "You have earned the new puppy which WILL be moving into the White House WITH us". Yet in a recent interview, what did we get..? "We've narrowed the choice to a Labradoodle and a Portugese-Water-Dog (A WHAT!!??), Now we just have to search the animal shelters to find the right dog." Firstly, I would hope that your new First-Citizen will have more pressing things to do than hit the animal shelters. Secondly, I'm guessing that with Labradoodles & P-W-Ds being quite fashionable, there won't be an abundance of such well behaved pups in animal shelters... At least, not unless the Secret-Service pay a few visits to owners first! Then again, perhaps Portugal will swap one of their Water-Dogs for some of the Gitmo Detainee's they say they'll take. In the meantime, I hope we don't have to wait 3 years for the First-Puppy to make an appearance. Mike.

Thanks.

Interestingly, it IS possible that Obama will "Save The World"! Right now, one of the major problems with the economy is lack of confidence and pessimism. IF the wave of Obama-Optimism carries through to the financial markets we could see the crunch / recession being less severe and recovering early. Not by Obama actually doing anything, just by him being. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Or perhaps not: [url http://newsbiscuit.com/article/bush-forced-to-repeat-a-term-after-failing-end-of-year-exams-442Bush forced to repeat a term after failing end-of-year exams[/url] America today woke up to the news that George W. Bush will remain US president for a further four years after officials from the Electoral College ruled that he had failed to secure the grades needed to graduate from the White House. A sub-clause of the US Constitution requires a serving president to be held back and forced to repeat a term if he does not make the necessary progress. ‘There were clear signs during the President’s first term that led us to suspect he may have special leadership needs,’ said a spokesman for the Electoral College today, ‘and the second term did nothing to dispel those concerns. We put in place an intensive support programme, but despite some progress in subjects like walking and eating, the President’s end-of-administration results mean he’s not yet ready to join wider society.’ Told of his lack of progress in English, George Bush said he was ‘disappointmented’ but insisted he would make the grade next time round. ‘I am getting special tuitioning in English and extra helpings with geography. Though I already know quite a lot about the olden days.’ ‘I just don’t understand it,’ said disappointed mother Barbara Bush today. ‘In his letters home George told us everything was going so well – I could tell from all the smiley faces in the pictures.’ But Barbara and George Bush Snr. remain hopeful that their son will make further progress, and that perhaps one day they will get to attend his graduation ceremony. ‘I know there was all that fuss over his entrance exams and whether he got enough marks to beat that Gore boy,’ said Barbara, ‘but since then he seemed to be making real strides.’ The Bush Presidency will forever be associated with the terrible images of September 11 2001, when the nation woke to see its President taking twenty minutes to finish a simple children’s picture book. In related news, the news of President Bush leaving public life has provoked mass suicides among comedians. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

This isn't really fair you know... We don't have any Right-Wing-Patriotic groups over here. Well... We do have the BNP, but they don't have any sexy stuff like Guns and WMDs. They mostly don't even have hair! What they do have is jeans that don't fit (I NEVER wear jeans), tasteless suspenders to keep their ill-fitting jeans up, and Oxblood Doctor Martens with yellow stitching. The whole ensemble is so unbearably tastless you need an IQ solidly in the negative range to wear it. also, with the global recession it's becoming impossible to buy a decent black shirt in the shops here. So I suppose I'm stuck with being a Non-National-Socialist. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

As I said earlier, the main deck gun shells are far cheaper, safer to deliver, sufficiently accurate, and much more anonymous.

What Scoop Sez! It's basically a move to allow eMail interception to be authorised by a Chief Constable, rather than a judge. The idea is that it can be done (to a target criminal) quicker. It'll make no difference to almost everyone in the UK... Unless you want to buy a battery for your Rolex, or discuss how to Kill Bush! It's the same with the street cameras, since most of us don't go around flashing or mugging, the cameras aren't noticed. Same with speed cameras... Those of us who don't drive around at Mach-2 aren't affected. Those who do ARE! I appreciate that there's the whole; "First they came for..." Thing, But I don't recall the poem including; "First they came for the criminals, and I did nothing, for I wasn't a criminal."

I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about. The worst things happen at sea you know. Yes...

When a government is democratically elected it should be recognized and not denied and blockaded as Hamas was... The FIRST duty of a government is to see to the safety and security of its people. I appreciate that Gaza under Hamas has been blockaded by Israel, however the blockade has been justified by Hamas launching missile attacks on Israel. In effect, had it been ALL Melons, rather than Missiles going through the tunnels, then the blockade would have been long lifted. As such, Hamas has failed to transition from its aggressive roots into behaving as a political party and government is expected. Look to how Sinn Fein has transitioned from the IRA under Gerry Adams & Martin McGuinness too see how it's done. Since Hamas as the government in Gaza has committed wilful hostile acts against a neighbouring country, that's rightly viewed as an act of war, so the Israeli response is unsurprising... War! The closest recent historical parallel is America's 1941 oil embargo on Japan in response to Japanese occupation of Manchuria, Japanese response by attacking Pearl Harbour with expansion into the "Southern Resource Area", and the ensuing war (which Japan lost). Would you argue that America was not justified in responding as it did to Japanese actions in 1941-45?... The Japanese position is effectively identical to Hamas in Gaza. I honestly believe that any endorsement of Hamas actions and condemnation of the Israeli is indefensible on this occasion. The killing of a senior Hamas Gaza Government Official who earned his position by schooling & indoctrinating others as Suicide-Bombers only strengthens Israels position. Regards, Mike.

You Called? What's need NOW is for the UN to assemble a crack team of British Airport Baggage Handlers to insert into the region. We put handlers from Heathrow into the Gaza Tunnels and see how Hamas gets on after their munitions have been routed to Aberystwyth. Meanwhile, Prestwick Baggage Handlers get at the munitions being flown from US to Israel. They'll mix it up with the stuff Scots bring back from America and we get to watch a Gaza School being flattened with 2,000 cartons of Marlboro Lights. Just a thjought. Mike.

Absolutely. Hamas has failed in the first duty of government in Gaza and must be replaced. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Another resounding endorsement for the British NHS: A Swiss man paralysed five years ago in a skiing accident has chosen to end his life early in the UK after shunning the local suicide clinic a few minutes drive from his home. ‘I want to end my life,’ said Max Friedland today, ‘but I don’t want to actually commit suicide. Which is why I have chosen a routine minor operation in an NHS hospital.’ Friedland, has an appointment in February at a London hospital for the removal of a benign mole on his back. ‘I am hoping that this short overnight stay coupled with the surgery will be enough for me to contract one of the many viruses present in NHS hospitals, C Diff, Norovirus, MRSA, I don’t mind as long as death is quick and relatively pain free.’ Asked whether he approved of the plan, health secretary Alan Johnson said, ‘To be able to welcome people from abroad who have specifically chosen the NHS for their procedures just shows how far we have come in recent years. It’s nice to see someone making a positive choice to use the NHS for once.’ Mr Friedland’s family are supporting his decision to end his life by staying in an English hospital; ‘It would be easy for him to make the short journey to Dignitas and to drink a lethal cocktail of chemicals, but he wants to end his life ended without intervention.’ said his wife, ‘We understand that if the superbug viruses don’t get him, then it is highly likely that some poor exhausted doctor will deliver a fatal incorrect dose of medicine to him, which is a nice safety net to have.’ Mr Friedland had originally been planning to end his life next summer but asked for his suicidal visit to England could be brought forward. ‘I was getting fed up with all those calls from Radio 4’s ‘The Moral Maze’. If anything made me want to end my life more quickly it was the prospect of talking to Michael Buerk about complex ethical dilemmas of our time,’ See also Suicides soar as Samaritans put James Blunt on call waiting.
