Iran president Ahmadinejad accepts nuclear deal terms

Of course, that’s the name of their game, “Nouvelle News” with a pinch of sarcasm and a cup of tabloid sprinkled at intervals.

😆 You forgot to say cat hair covered sweat shirt and clawed, holey flannels. As for neat house, I think you must have zoomed into my next door, opera singing, neighbour’s pad. My furry ones can’t stand anything neat, clean yes, tidy, forgetaboutit.

Hey you two, does that mean that I’m now compelled to brush my wayward hair every morning?

I’m quite fond of the left side side standing up to attention when I wake up, I’m sure the neighbours enjoy their morning laugh too.

Seems that your media has absolutely no finesse when it comes to headlines or content of story. For them when they milk the negatives for all they are worth, it eventually becomes a Hollywood “B” movie script instead of news.

I always have this strange paranoia that somebody is watching me. I hope you don’t zoom in when I’m picking my nose?

You can see Tokyo time on Skype too. 😆

Time zones are a tough call, you will never know how many friends I have woken up in the wee hours after drinking a bottle of wine. 🙂

I’m certain it will be as soon as someone pulls their fingers out of their ar@es.

I rely on the Beeb to tell me the truth. I was going to link it on MB, but sleep got in my way.

Hope everything went we well today?

K, I read about this last night before I went to sleep, so your lazy and dishonest media had more than enough time to pick up this story. Amazing really after all the negatives news about Iran for the last few years. Your media are living in the same bubble they peddle for your citizens and if they think it doesn’t directly affect America and therefore not newsworthy, they are bonkers. Out of sight, out of mind!

Everyone Hates Rahm

From what I’ve read about this guy, he isn’t doing the President any favours and should definitely not be the one to have Obama’s ear. Seems to me he’s been taking advantage of the President’s first year year to give him bad advice, which will bolster his own questionable agenda. I don’t think that this man can be trusted as far as the President could throw him.

Un(der)reported News, Saturday Edition

Absolutely horrendous but not surprising and neither is the fact that it hasn’t made the news rounds.

My solution for guys like this is, chop the darned thing off.

The mind surely boggles when a conference represented by 70 countries aims to support Afghanistan is it’s construction and not destruction and yet is not newsworthy enough to hit your main news media. The ballyhoo about the time it took for your President to decide what action to take in this country, was almost non-stop, they even allowed Cheney to run off his mouth on the TeeVee about how dangerous it was to delay. Now that there is reinforced support for Afghanistan, their security and the country’s reconstruction, where are these loud mouthed oafs when the President is shoveling aside their failures which allowed the Taliban to regain a foothold in important regions of the country again, come on Mr. Cheney, what, nothing to say now?

Are We Really Liberals and Progressives?

Same as England but even more so, Japan really doesn’t have any strong alternatives. I wasn’t sorry to see the LDP defeated, their group was full of old men unwilling to change the policies of the last 50 years but Hatoyama was always a weak runner for the crown, his ideas of reform are ludicrous. One idea which has failed in Germany and neighbouring France, is to pay couples to have more children and then help to support those children by increasing the tax burden of those who choose not to start a family or for whatever reason don’t have children of their own, not a very popular idea as you might imagine. Totally off the wall when you add up the number of unemployed university graduates still looking but hardy finding jobs. Hey Mr. Hatoyama, in case you are not aware of it, Japan is still in recession, funny how politicians are always the last to admit it but then again, his Mommy is rich.

As for the anti-immigration nutters, you need look no further than Nick Griffin, an absolute lunatic, every country has one it seems and people in England would rather eat glass than listen to a word he says, unfortunately his sort of vile rhetoric can’t be laughed at on a late night comedy show.

There are so many countries that could do with a sharp kick in the pants for changes to their political ideals but as long as the same losers are elected again and again, there is not much hope for any change any time soon.

I intend to vote in the next election by absentee ballot, thinking that the election of weak chinned Cameron would make me feel guilty that I hadn’t done enough for my family and friends over there.

The working class and the poor have always voted Labour and always will, even in this next election and the Tories in power will not be kind to them. Yes the Labour party is in a mess but to these working class people in the middle and northern parts of England, it’s all they have. Talking about “there must be an alternative” so close to the next election, really does not help the country. There is no alternative at the moment, the Liberal Party are full of wild ideas and suggestions but too weak to be in power. The other smaller parties are fodder for late night comedy shows.

It’s the younger voters who were against the involvement in Iraq who will blindly vote the Tories in and will complain the loudest when they get a taste of what the Tories are good at, replenishing the nest eggs of the rich. They shout have taken the time to read up about the Tories and what, if allowed, they will do for the “little” people once they forget all the promises they made before the election.

We just had a similar election here with younger voters wanting to topple the ruling party the LDP for lack of progress and corruption. Just a few months after taking office they find that Hatoyama and his cabinet are just as crooked and soon there will be calls for his resignation as the investigation of 12 billion yen from his mother and how he has spent it continues. His position of PM was bought and payed for way before your Supreme Court’s decision to allow cooperations unlimited financial contributions to political parties or their choice of candidate. We will see, I don’t like his methods or his socialist ideas and already from the news I hear, neither do some of the people who helped to elect him.

Thank you Cher, this was fun and I read it as a citizen of our world and came to this conclusion. If I were an American or lived in your country, I would be a Liberal but don’t agree with your gun control laws or the right to bear arms.

Reading through the options to call myself a progressive, I would score between 70 to 80% not bad for someone living in a country where I’m not allowed to vote or have a say in the way this country is run. However I take great joy in the fact that this buffoon of a PM will not last long with endless scandals in his cabinet and more noteworthy, his own.

I’ve voted twice in England, both times for Labour and see nothing good coming for the citizens if they go ahead and vote for the Tories, who are notorious for trashing the economy when they are in power. The rich will become richer and the middle class will join the working class as they descend into joblessness and debt.

Is there a kind that doesn’t?

Ouch!! Sorry, delayed reaction, no Oscar for me tonight. 😳

Oh I have those too for the long Ollie hairs all over the house. He molts every day of the year, just what the doctor ordered. 🙂

😆 javaz, my heroine! You have a feather duster too, I love it!

I have a nasty mother of a Dyson, no one would be safe from that powerful cyclone system, the odd tip of a cat tail has been sucked up many times, poor babies.

President Obama Confronts the GOP Head On

I saw it as the President giving them a last chance, either get on board or get out of my way.

Welcome back Emerald, missed you a lot. Hope things are going ok with you, know you must be busy.

» Posted By Kalima On January 29, 2010 @ 5:21 pm

It was an absolutely brilliant move, they can no longer use the excuse that they have been excluded. Major score for the President.
