U.S. Presidential Election 2012

Now... Who could possibly have been responsible for creating such a distorted view of reality just to convince millions of people they were in the right ?

Who has the worldwide skills of creative massive deception masked as authoritative research based on hard facts ?

Only one answer here folks.

This is clearly the work of the AGW catastrophists led by the IPCC. After recognizing all their efforts in creating seemingly incontrovertible evidence supporting the presence of global warming, the GOP has used them as freelance undercover advisors for the Romney campaign polling centres.

This is just another reason to rip them out root and branch.

Go sic them Wayne !!

Clearly you are obsessed with me. I am flattered but I am a happily married man.

I thought you objected to the inclusion of any reference to climate change/global warming on this thread.
You criticised me for this.
Now, here you are doing it yourself.
Oh, the hypocrisy.

Just a referential joke Julia...

Couldn't resist it.

Wayne could see the point. Well done.

I'd be impressed if an American could name any Australian politician, living, dead, current, former. I lived there. I was complimented more than once on how well I spoke English, when I said I was from Australia. I was asked regularly what side of the country Sydney is on, which incidentally is also the capital of Australia. And on trips outside New York I would often get blank stares when I spoke because people couldn't understand my accent.

I got asked if it was the same year in Australia as the US.

I see no joke, referential or otherwise!


Please explain!

Did this happen on 31 Dec/1 Jan? In fairness to them there is a time difference.

Back in the '80's I remember watching NBC news during the late evening and early morning hours here in Australia. Coming back from a commercial break Bryant announced the time. A relative of mine expressed surprise at the difference. I then explained to said relative that it takes the radio waves that long to travel around the globe from America to us here in Australia. She considered this answer for the best part of a minute before realising that I was "having her on". Some of us simply aren't at our best during the wee early hours of morning!

When my sister was there in the 70s she was asked if we had refrigerators in Australia

It was actually a uni student, really good guy, but he and his friends simply didn't know much about the outside world (it was in Mexico to at the time). I found the further east and north people come from the more inform they become about the world.

The Spy Who Shagged Me... (and who can blame him?) topic...like most of this page)

ONE of America's most decorated soldiers and its spy boss, CIA director General David Petraeus, has been secretly having an affair with his pretty biographer and married mum of two Paula Broadwell.

Hawke, Patreaus, got to get myself a biographer

They don't all look as good as that!!:

 

[basilio]

It just gets better doesn't it.

Now the other woman involved with General Patreaus has been exposed. Naturally she also has a husband and they have been family friends of General Patreaus for 5 years

WASHINGTON: The woman whose complaints sparked an FBI investigation that ended the career of General David Petraeus has been named as Jill Kelley, the State Department's liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida.

Her identity emerged on Sunday as members of Congress demanded a fuller explanation of how and when law enforcement agents learned that the CIA director was having an extramarital affair.

I thought the last comments on this story were a treat. If were wanted any more evidence that the world is morally going to hell in handbasket (or something like that ) here it is. Clearly we couldn't have a functioning CIA if morals clauses were taken seriously.!

While some observers have suggested that a CIA director carrying on an affair might be subject to blackmail, former CIA officials say extramarital affairs are common at all levels of the CIA, and typically are viewed as a security problem only if officers are involved with foreigners or people who pose risks.

Really ??!!

Putting aside the tittillation (which is actually far more fun) this is quite old news. Its just the looney right wanting to escape the clutches of the Osama/ Marxist/Black Presidency.

It would be really great to see the Republican Party stand up and say this is a load of nonsense and we wont have any bar of trying to split the nation.

But that ain't going to happen is it ?

Interested in more tittilation ?

Apparently there was a letter written the New York Times agony ethicist in July this year which looks very close to the situation that has been exposed.

Second letter in the column

Make up your own mind.

MY WIFE’S LOVER

My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort.

That is a really interesting case. He doesn't pay tax, but the ATO has not tried to prosecute him. Makes me think that he may be on to something. They actually introduced legislation so that there could be no more Hutt Rivers.

There's a country in Potts Point too, I forget it's name. I think it's just a one bedder or something.
