Sounds like another colonial outpost is trying to get itself a vote.

It worked well for Hawaii, not so well for Puerto Rico or Guam.

How are your pineapples?

I buy mine in summer, in cans from the supermarket shelf.

Some Britons think Australia, and New Zealand, are indeed still colonies.
/colonial outposts.
I discovered this from a forum in Britain.
They were astounded to learn that Australia, and New Zealand are both independent self-governing countries with their own national anthems and all.
And have been for a very long time.


Like a century.

No great surprise really, given some of the questions asked on the  information line for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

"Do you have milk in Australia?
Do you have trains and buses in Australia?
Do you have jewellery in Australia?
Do you have  perfume in Australia?"

Kind of understandable though, given that the global internet wasn't what it is today.

I just Googled "are there trains and buses in Australia?"

Answer: "The transport options available in Australia include buses, trains, trams and ferries. Your access to these transport services will vary depending on where you live."

Would've been no need to phone the hotline...if Dr Google had been everywhere.
So many immigrants pouring in, there's not a seat for everyone on said public transport.

Break out the carriers!
Break out the Stealths!
Break out the missiles!
Break out the lasers!

According to a report in the Mirror by Will Stewart and Anthony Thrower, Russia is threatening to send in its mercenary army and invade countries seen as NATO's "weakest links", according to a key insider.

A top pro-Putin parliamentarian and reservist general says Wagner is set to be used to take an area known as The Suwalki Corridor - a 60 mile strip of land straddling the border between Poland and Lithuania.

It has massive strategic importance for NATO and the EU - as well as Russia.

Should be interesting if NATO loses.

If NATO loses there is a chance you will still get paid though it hardly matters with what the Ruble is worth these days.

I imagine you waddle like a pregnant woman. If you had the balls to take public transit I am sure some polite immigrants would make the mistake and stand up to offer you their seats out of sympathy.

Luee has earned the right to make a complete and utter fool of himself all day every day.

Could he have that right without exercising it? Sure. Would that help him make a point now and then? Sure, but that would only matter if he knew what the points are that he is trying to make.

I think it is a good thing that Luee constantly makes noise. It lets me know where he is.

Luee is not the kind of person you ever want to let creep up on you unobserved.

Are you still beating your wife?

Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan, as all presidents since 1949 have done.  That's not invading China.  Show me where he said he wants to invade China.

Moscow bombed by drones...Putin blames Ukraine for the "terror attack".
If it was Ukraine, then that is only fair, as Russia has been blowing Ukraine to bits.
When bombs start falling on Moscow, maybe then the Russian people might rise up against Putin and co.
