Ok now the $64,000 question... every body knows how vindictive the

4. I think the American people have been paying for years,
in lack of jobs, healthcare, in spilt blood, in everything else he has touched that has turned to shit. What more can he do?

13. What more can he do?
Well, here's a few things undoubtedly in the works:

(a) Garnish the 'wages' of out-of-work citizens by sending the IRS out to pick pennies out of their tin cups on street corners.

(b) Charge the homeless 'property taxes' on the cardboard boxes they live in -- of course, if your cardboard box is on a downtown city street, your taxes will be assessed according to the same square footage tax that major corporations and department stores in the area pay.

(c) Levy a 1,000% 'value-added tax' on anything that costs less than a dollar.

(d) Charge all Katrina victims with 'loitering and vagrancy' because they don't have permanent homes to live in.

(e) Charge all detainees at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib 'room and board' - oh, and of course, torture IS extra. (New Etiquette: ALWAYS tip the water-boarders and dog-handlers!)

Because all of the above are or will wind up in jail, with no money for bail and/or legal representation, send them to 'workhouses' where they can earn their own keep.

And guess who gets the no-bid contract to build, maintain and operate the workhouses? HALLIBURTON, of course!

I'm being sarcastic - but the way things are going, how far away from the truth is this?

14. Gee, you made my night, NG!
I'd insert a rofl icon, but I guess the possibilities aren't all that funny. :(

15. If we DO wind up in cardboard boxes, Babylonsister ...
... I hope we wind up in the same neighbourhood!!! Having you next door makes the entire possibility seem much less onerous -- and don't ever hesitate to come over to borrow a packet of sugar (purloined from the nearest fast-food place), or a cup of ketchup soup!

:toast:

9. They have plans for us. Far more monumental than any port deal.
I think they don't give a damn one way or the other about this. They know that when the big one is called - cancelling the 2008 elections - they have their ducks lined up in a row. Klutzy? Yes. But that's all. They have plans for us.

19. Yep - Now the UAE will "retaliate" with a "terra attack" on US soil.
Precurser to Martial Law and the final nail in the coffin of democracy.

16. I fear that Iran will have to pay the price. Dimson will want to prove
his manhood by killing thousands of women and childres ... and a few men too.
