Is she attempting some sort of feminist Masonic handshake with herself?
Perhaps I oughta rephrase that but I can't be arsed...
The UK seems to have a problem in that area too. I think Douglas Adams nailed it with his observations about how no one who wants the job should be allowed near it.barkingmad wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:42 amOoops, seems as if the much-derided Orange Man could see the shitstorm coming down the road before he left the crèche in charge of Sleepy Joe;
I just lurve the shocked expressions of the unfortunates on the opposite side of that table as he delicately rammed home the uncomfortable truth about energy dependency!
Though to those of us in the old European fallen empires it’s always been a mystery as to how difficult it is for the ‘murricanes to find and elect a “functioning frontal cortex” out of >330,000,000 citizens, many of whom would pass the proposed intelligence test(s)!
How about if Vlad has a few turns on the clamp? What if he has some dirt on the Bidens (note the plural), and is using it to his advantage?
I am planning to be in Mississauga in September this year to visit a valued client, and sundry intelligent South African emigres. I would be honoured to have dinner with you and your better half. I promise not to bring up the Congo (which is where I went mad)...
Had they listened to the protesters and routed the pipeline away from ancestral burial grounds and other sensitive places, chances are it would have been built by now, I think there was more argument about "don't build it here" than "don't build it at all". However, that would probably have upset rich people who were happy to have the pipeline built but not on their land. There have been enough spillages that the chance of one occurring without the responsible party doing a 100% clean-up and compensation is high enough that I wouldn't particularly want one on my land either.

So far I've managed not to pay more than $4.99, despite driving down to LA and back in the van (which achieves an awesome 16mpg if I drive it properly). That may change in the coming weeks though, several hundred more miles of van driving is planned. I will admit to researching the route and tagging optimal places to fill the tank such that we avoided having to pay LA prices. Not seen anything over $6 even there though.Seenenough wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 1:13 amOne assumes from your comments ,there in San Jose ,that you are quite happy paying for gas at near S7 a Gallon,Ilonllondel wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 12:44 amHad they listened to the protesters and routed the pipeline away from ancestral burial grounds and other sensitive places, chances are it would have been built by now, I think there was more argument about "don't build it here" than "don't build it at all".
