2006-09-18

#12  Strange Leftists, lying in Cantinas with half-empty bottles of fermented agave catus juice, is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical tequila-saoked ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some drunken tart called you el Presidente! I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some drunken Commies bestowed a title on me, they'd put me away!

(apologies to Monty Python)
Now, if I went

#6  Can't wait for Obrador to meet with the US President Kerry and his predecessor Gore in an Hemispheric Conference to cover the need for other vehicles to validate the legitimacy of their election and office. Best scheduled for Saturday to be followed by a blitz in the usual suspects sympathetic MSM Sunday morning news programs.

#2  Guess we now know why Moud extended his hand to COLUMBIA, whilst CHINA has offered to sell air defense systems to Mahico and Panama - Clintonian Amerika's Waffen Soviet Male Brute SS Airborne can't save the Panama Canal by land iff land routes are denied to the USDOD. SUNBURN + SILKWORMS, etal. are prob next on the products marketing list.
