“Call in this debt” 12:38?? Sounds like something the What would say
How on earth can you still call the US a super power when most of our enemies own all our debt and have us by the shorthairs. If they should call in this debt we will be in major trouble. Also , you must be kidding about Bushie. He can barely read books, reading people is out of the question.
That is a great photo.
Why not? Last guest fling.

Take the Iraq war for example. OK, so he got us into Iraq in the first place. But for Pete’s sake, he’s the leader of the world’s only superpower. He needs to take decisions, even if sometimes they have nasty consequences – which is far better than we do in Europe, where we enjoy dithering not as a means to
