I've made my point.
    That reminds me of a cartoon I saw (in the New Yorker, maybe?) soon after the Catholic Church said it's okay now to eat meat on Fridays except during Lent:

    Scene: Satan on his throne in hell with the fires burning around... A little devil has come up and is asking "Okay, now what do we do with all those people who ate meat on Fridays?"
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    I'd think Satan would hold a Donner Party Party!


    Tastes like chikin!

    I have to laugh at all the talk about BO 'bowing' to the emir or whoever that joker was.


    I had a good chuckle at the film clip - BO had dropped the keys to AF One, that was the reason for the deep flex in front of that quack.

    I thought back to the rules of flying/displaying the flag and know that no matter what happens, Old Glory never is dipped or lowered for anyone or anything.

    So, the physical figurehead of the country seems to have a spine, but may not know when to make it stiff?

    I have been trying to find the post you made when George W. kissed the king of Saudi Arabia and held hands with him.

    Oddly...I can't seem to find it....

    A kiss and holding hands, IIRC is a sign of respect and friendship in arab cultures. Kissing the ring is a sign of subjegation or that you are beneath that person, not a very good impression for the POTUS to give to arabic cultures.

    They reported on the news today that the Bank of Wells Fargo is making a 3 billion profit this year. They should have them give all the failing banks classes on bank managing. Of just give them the banks to manage.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
