"Mr. Blackwing, we notice you have claimed a $50,000 deduction for fraud.  Can you please explain that?"

"Yes, reluctantly.  I was victimized by two people I met online, who used clever aliases and conned me into believing they had a piece of French toast that resembled the Virgin of Guadalupe.  I paid $50,000 for the film rights."

"I see, and what became of the Holy Toast?"

"They accidentally ate it.  They said."

"Aha and you can verify this loss of course?"

"Yes here are press clippings and a police report, the contract between myself and the fugitives, bank records verifying the transfer of funds, also an insurance policy on the toast, and the insurer's written refusal to pay for natural dissolution of a perishable item."

"Hrrm...."

"Can this work both ways?"

I think it has.

"One peacefull sollution would be include georgia within the nato so it will be far less easy for them ignite a war or to be attacked. "

Except that NATO is a promise on paper, and Russia doesn't mind pieces of paper.  Look at the one they signed last week.

"BTW russia even while at war with georgia continues to supply georgia with electricity and other resources needed to keep georgian economy from collapse"

What a crock! They're blowing up Georgian airports, blockading the port of Poti, blocking roads, and Georgia's pipeline doesn't run through Russia.

It was announced on the radio news that they thawed out the body, and it was a rubber suit.  The two "hunters" have vanished with "an undisclosed amount" of their expert's money.  big_smile

"So it really was a rubber suit.

The excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body that built all last week, culminating Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet souffl

MAD is a surrender, it means "you can't win, we can't win"  The hardcore OGs (original generals) go for NUT, Nuclear Utilization Theory

and I say give them their own medicine, hit their oil and rail industry with cruise missles from midocean and deny it.  "Hailstorms".  "Equipment failure"

what will they do? 

Nuke us? Then they die.
Bomb us?  They can't make it.
Sell arms to our enemies--they do that already
piss on us in the UN? --they do that already
invade our friends---they do that already

that whole "last chance for a female President in our lifetime" was total crap.   Apparently you can go from State Senator to 1 term in the Senate to Democrat nominee, so the field's wide open

a lot of that clerks series was too much for me... although I did like Silent Bob's speeches

"Oh, but I think it is... We had a deal with you, on the comics remember, for likeness rights, and as we're not only the artistic basis, but also obviously the character basis, for your intellectual property, Bluntman and Chronic. When said property was optioned by Miramax Films, you were legally obliged to secure our permission to transfer the concept to another medium. As you failed to do that, Banky, you are in breach of the original contract, ergo you find yourself in a very actionable position. "

Michael Palin visited Waziristan, he said snow blocked the passes 6 months out of the year.  Not much we're gonna be able to do in that kind of country except bomb people into refugee status.  Is that Obama's style?

"it required governmental actions wich might be considered leftist-inspired, but the intentions were never leftist. Hitler wanted his economy to boost so that he had a robust economy that could support his international plans, not to make things better for the Germans. Leftist ideas don't equal a leftist government or ideals."

In USA we have a very behavioralist interpretation of political ideology--the ACT matters more than the strict interpretation or intent.  Comes of having onyl 2 serious parties.  "Leftist is as leftist does"
