Of the 84 sane ones, only two were Democrats (Hank Johson and Nick Lampson). Of the presidential candidates, Kucinich voted yes, and Paul didn't vote.

Re: World (4.00 / 2)

I don't know if coffee helps with some of the incredible news today. Maybe Cognac or Wiskey might be more helpful in this circumstance. :-)

LOL. The US is so stupid. What are they going to do? Seize the assets of sovereign wealth funds? Let's see if we can get money flowing out of the US even faster!

The US congress is NOT stupid. Don't you remember when they helped save the world by changing the name of french fries to Freedom Fries?

Re: World (none / 0)

No, what they're gonna do is collect a coalition of the idiots and launch a punitive invasion to overthrow the dictators so that when the local oppressed populations greet them with rose petals they will gladly help the Americans remove all the oil.

It has already worked very well in Iraq, will work brilliantly in Iran, so why not ....?

The US govt is showing signs of becoming mad with imagined power. Nuclear weapons are not bargaining chips for resources cos radioactive oil ain't no good.

keep to the Fen Causeway
