    Si Possiamo

    Meanwhile in Italy an non famous Italian made black face politically correct by painting his face black and carrying a sign that said "why there is Obama and here is Berlusconi"
    (or something with the same meaning and relationship with correct English grammer)

    and note Carla Bruni said she was glad that she had become French because Berlusconi joked that Obama was tanned (about average for a Berlusconi joke).
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    OK....I've never been to Italy but I've been to Philadelphia.

    My first thought was: I guess Italian guys in Italy hate black people as much as Italian guys in Philly do.
  • rwaldmann · 1 year ago
    Dear Bush_Bites

    All the Italians I know are wildly enthusiastic about Obama. Also
    Berlusconi was not trying to insult Obama. He just thought it was
    funny (he is an idiot).

    ciao

    Tribune staff report
    November 9, 2008
    The Secret Service traditionally has given pithy, private names to those whose lives they protect. The monikers are a throwback to a time when electronic communications were not encrypted, and they no longer serve a security function. Still, they give an occasional peek at the players' personalities, in addition to serving as great trivia questions.

    President-elect Barack Obama: Renegade

    Michelle Obama: Renaissance

    Malia Obama: Radiance



    Sasha Obama: Rosebud

    Vice President-elect Joe Biden: Celtic

    Jill Biden: Capri

    President George W. Bush: Tumbler

    First Lady Laura Bush: Tempo

    "Tumbler"

    Boy, they really got his number.
  • mmedefarge · 1 year ago
    I would love to know what the names were for the recently defeated rethug team---

    any ideas?

    McCain's name is Phoenix, which sounds like a clever double-shot at his home base in Arizona and his rising-from-the-ashes victory in the Democratic primary. His wife Cindy is dubbed Parasol - not that she's been spotted carrying a ruffly umbrella, but her fashion tastes do run on the ritzier side. (If it's not already apparent, each family chooses one letter of the alphabet for their Secret Service codes.)

    Palin has perhaps the cleverest name of all: Denali, the name of Alaska's lovely national park but also of the natural-gas pipeline that major oil companies are building in her home state in a bid to undercut her authority. One wonders what she makes of the symbolism there.

    Speaking of symbolism, Todd Palin's code name is Driller. Yes, he works on oil rigs, but it's still a little bit funny.

    If I'm not mistaken McCain ran in the REPUBLICAN primary.

    France is scheduled for a total economic meltdown which will make our problems look like a glitch on the teevee...

    Quite a bit off track here , but I'd appreciate your thoughts . I am no lawyer so it makes me wonder just how does the state of Ca. see Marriage ?
    Is it a business to them , a legal contract ? I am straight and married 26 years but Totally against discrimination . Can the state allow
    religous " interference " in their business ? Can the state allow religous intereferance in legal contracts ? Beyond the current hope of the legal challenge to the hate prop , this point keeps coming back " How does the State " see " marriage and how can they let anyone intefere with equal use of a basic right ( as in to marry ) . OK my brain is fuzzier than my spelling at 55 but it just stinks of pure discrimination and a denial of basic rights . I mean if they don't want you to marry in their church , no problem but how can the State get away with this ? Is marriage not a basic right of Humainty ? A very confused w3ski

    One of the most amazing aspects of the last few days has been seeing the world's euphoric response to the election. I was just a bit too young to remember the Kennedy election, but there has never been this kind of response to any other election---with good reason. I am struck with the thought that after five centuries of Europe and the USA plundering the world, that perhaps we are on the verge of a new noncolonial era.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Where are our colonies? What country have we plundered? Are you on mind altering medication?
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    That's true.

    Bush tried to plunder Iraq and got his worthless ass handed to him instead.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    You've got the losing argument.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Of course you're wrong.

    Iraq's oil wealth was supposed to be ours for the taking and, indeed, was supposed to pay for Emperor Chimp's Crusade.

    Didn't happen.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    I guess you're too young to know of the history of who found most of the oil in Iraq and how they abrogated the international contracts. Maybe when Barack seizes your IRA and 401k and freezes your bank accounts; you'll understand how that works.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    if you'd stop listening to limpdick you'd feel a lot better...but whatever.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    It's Barney Frank's idea.
  • TampaZeke · 1 year ago
    Have you ever heard of the Monroe Doctrine or the Bush Doctrine?

    Besides, we've been plundering more than our share of the world's resources for years.
  • mmedefarge · 1 year ago
    Thank you, TZ. I guess I woke up a troll...
  • TampaZeke · 1 year ago
    Yeah, JUST like "Yes We Can" in America.

    Sarkosy's wife is now calling for racial equality at the same time her husband and his party opposes marriage equality for gay and lesbian French citizens

    They really are imitating Americans.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    You wouldn't think Sarko would be such a stickler for marriage, you know?

    I mean, most people keep cell phone contracts for longer than he keeps wives.
  • TampaZeke · 1 year ago
    Yeah, especially since, unlike Americans, the majority of French people support marriage equality.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    France is gone. We aren't going to bail their ass out for a third time. They will become the European equivalent of Lebanon...
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Would love to keep debating with you, but I have to work in the morning and you have to go to the mailbox to pick up your government handout.

    Bye, leech.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing.
  • Alrightythen · 1 year ago
    I'd just like to say Welcome back, America. We missed you. Republicans bragging about y'all being the envy of the world. Um, not quite. Some of us like where we live just fine, thanks.
