    The first 675 pages are completely struck out text. Somehow that does not give me any confidence that our legislators have any clue what they are doing, or any real plan. It seem sto go: Blah, blah, spend money, spend more money...p675 uh, strike that, spend even more money, spend yet more money...p1434.

            Good luck. Believe me, when it comes to incompetance among "world leaders" we Brits set the bar pretty high. Brown would be funny if he didn't truly believe the bullshit he spouts..it's truly sickening. :sigh:

            No No, please, the Heavy weight title belt for the champion bullshitters are (in any order you like) Hosni Mubarak, Yasser Arafat, Muammar Al-Qaddafi, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and IMO Dubya. As you can see, Arab leaders have cornered the market. Bunch of greedy fucks the whole lot of them.

                Well, to be fair to me, I haven't had experience with Indian politicians. To be fair to all politicians, they are all bastard, greedy, selfish fucks to one degree or another.

                  I didn't know Australia was that badly hit by the global recession. Actually, from what I hear from my friend in Perth, its only starting to feel the nip of recession.

                      Article:

                      The Prime Tosser claimed that he had called for a stronger regulatory framework in the wake of the Asian money markets collapse in 1999.

                      The Asian markets collapse was in 1997. :rolleyes:
