| 748056 | 2009-02-16 18:00:00 | 14) You have comedic sports that are of no practical or redeeming value - just like here . American football doesn't even use a round ball and most players never get to touch it That's the way it's supposed to be . Imagine if everyone was allowed to touch the ball - it would be people kicking each other, running in all sorts of different directions and tearing their shirts off to throw at the crowd . Instant mayhem! Oval-pointed balls are better! 16) You drink cold beer . That stuff in stubbies is not beer it's beer flavoured water . COLD was the qualifier here, QUALITY was not spoken of . If you drink midget bottles of anything, you get what you deserve . I need to digress here a moment - Killian's Red is useful for removing rust and bar-b-que drippings only . Foster's is in a category of it's own . 17) If I try REAL hard, I bet I can convert you to our system of measurements and volume . Wish we could adopt back to English Imperial not American Imperial big differenceI would just like to get a true flagon full measure for my favorite ale . :eek: |

If you have been the house guest of ex-football player knife murderer - you can make a career out of it. If a Hollywood star gets caught buying sex in your car - you can make a career out of it. |

| 748058 | 2009-02-17 04:51:00 | OK . . I prophesied that the US was gonna pull in the dinner plates, and here's the first salvo: BEIJING, Feb . 16 (Xinhua) -- The mammoth 787-billion-U . S . dollar stimulus package was finally passed by the U . S . Congress last Friday, a crucial step forward in Washington's ambition to revive the faltering economy . The asserted benefit of the bill, however, was overshadowed by the "Buy American" provisions it included, which barred the use of foreign iron, steel, and manufactured goods in public works projects funded by the plan . The clause easily invited deep concern outside and inside the United States, raising fears of a recurring of protectionism . "Buy American" has become particularly sensitive in a time that the world is facing sagging economy and slumping trade, echoing the Great Depression in the 1930s when a wave of tit-for-tat protectionism choked global trade and prolonged the economic pain . WORLD CONCERNED ABOUT PROTECTIONISM The United States has alleged that the implementation of the bill will strictly abide by its international trade obligations . Analysts pointed out that according to the international government procurement agreement, Canada, the European Union (EU),Japan and a few other countries might be exempted from the provisions . Even so, potential protectionism embedded in the provisions still touched the nerves of these nations and blocs . That's Obamaramadama for ya . |
