The only remaining question is what kind of hallucinogens was the Russian Orthodox Church on when they canonized him as a saint.
Because those godless commies got him. The way things were going someone would have got him sooner or later, it's not like they were the only ones trying to get rid of him.
I've got elevation envy. Y'all get all the damn snow. Bouncing temps are pretty standard, though.
Got some flurries, that's it so far. That, and crazy bouncing temperatures. Yesterday low 12F, tomorrow night low 44F, two days later it's down to 14F again. This year all the snow was dumped on New Brunswick and around the lakes.
Well if you remember, he didn't have much in way of positive feedback for either the Pharisees nor Sadducees. So why he have any for the Democrats and Republicans.
Yeah, not much of turn the other cheek, judge not, love thy neighbour etc. going around in america's political caste. Especially the overtly christian ones. Then again, they follow Republican Jesus, not the biblical one ( who would probably go with Sanders if he absolutely had to pick one ).
Because he just enjoys trolling the pundits every four years. It's not clear why anyone really thinks he has any intention of putting his business empire on the backburner long enough to make a serious run. Then what if he actually won? Look at this from his point of view. Sure, he could set policy to help his business and others like it. However, the megalomaniac won't want to allow someone else to run his corporations in his stead.
Pulling a Palin and raking in campaign contributions, while generating publicity for his businesses.
Nice to see your own equivalents of Upstairs downstairs aristocrats are still active!
We do have our would-be nobles and you have your actual inbred European ones. I'm not hatin', though. Just because a guy's sister is also his aunt is no reason to disqualify him from House of Lords. The mental retardation from centuries of this going on just makes them 37.297 percent funnier
Most of them are appointed on merit these days, there's a bunch of more or less retired politicians, actual scientists and whatnot in there. Supposed to be more or less a council of experts that don't have to pander to the Great Unwashed, which actually sounds like a fairly decent idea.
See, your scores in something that's supposed to measure your intelligence are improving, therefore your intelligence is improving ( as opposed to your skill at solving a particular class of logic puzzles )
A cynical fairy tale, trying to legitimate a war crime.
We are just going to have to disagree on what a war crime is for the period.
More than 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians and an equal numbers of Chinese with 30 million other Asian peoples dead from German and Japanese occupations. You have to stretch things quite a lot to say something done in the effort to stop these regimes was too much. It is sad even two nukes can't compare. On that I'll agree.
"there are worse people than me" is rarely a successful defence for some reason.
Our governor Sandoval shows signs of sanity from time to time. I think it's the Southern Republicans, who are more descended from the segregationist Dixiecrats, that keep up the lunacy in the GOP than the Western ones.
Even Haslam does, occasionally. Has to play to his base though.
Normally one would expect a person with the Pope's responsibilities to be more diplomatic in is pronouncements, but his choice of words today 'Curse my mother, expect a punch' is probably the worse thing he could have said; whether he likes it or not, he justifies the use of violence if someone says something another does not like.
I still content the reason Obama is president is that every candidate that could have beaten him in 2008 (including that year's version of Romney) destroyed each other.
Yeah, the lone, sane republican got something like 2% in the primary.
I would suggest that General Eisenhower WAS German. But, don't tell anybody. It's a secret, OK? Just you, me and everybody else who bothers to check history.
The name looks very much German with just a little bit of spelling adjustment, by the look of it, to preserve the sound value. Popular thing to do around the late 1800s to early 1900s ( especially the latter - world war I made Germans kinda unpopular in the US ). In fact it looks more German than mine
Hmm, I wonder how much of chart #1 takes things like inflation, differences in cost of living etc. into account. Especially cost of living. Even $10 a day won't get you anywhere in the US or .de, but it would buy significantly more food elsewhere.
Well, you'll be pleased to hear that I'll be over in your neck of the woods in September, if everything I have planned goes according to said plan. Have to supervise and sample the various wares of Oktoberfest after all.
Getting anywhere near civilization, I mean Berlin?
I'm thinking that Americans have had enough of both the Bushes and the Clintons for awhile. It's not terribly likely that either will win their respective party nominations--- though Hillary does stand a somewhat better chance than Jeb does.
Compared to the freak show of the last two elections he looks almost sane, so, not going to happen.
Then at least the right-wingers would have an actual left-winger to freak out about
Crap. Now they won't know what to do with themselves. Imagine if he managed to win Now they won't be able to call someone a communist, socialist for implementing their own ideas. What will they do with themselves?
