16951. Macnas - 10/10/2005 11:21:31 AM Try downloading the interview and have a listen, it's not as good as watching it, but you'll get the flavour of it.
16952. PelleNilsson - 10/10/2005 12:23:09 PM It is my sincere conviction that suppliers who pack their stuff in thick shrink-wrap plastic should be shot. 16953. Macnas - 10/10/2005 12:25:06 PM I second that. 16954. jayackroyd - 10/10/2005 2:46:46 PM Bertie, our then and now taoiseach, would be well used to having to fight his corner with the likes of Caroline, and would think nothing of it either.
Someone remarked to me the other day that she wished Bush had to put up with questioning from the Congress the way Blair does from Parliment. He wouldn't last a month, she said.
She has a point. The idea that the president should not be asked difficult questions, and should be held to answering them, doesn't seem all that counter-intuitive to me. 16955. jayackroyd - 10/10/2005 2:47:13 PM Well, I got my negatives all doubled up there, but you know what I meant. 16956. Macnas - 10/10/2005 4:03:57 PM No, I do. 16957. Magoseph - 10/10/2005 5:09:35 PM Wabbit,
I had a meeting with the women interested in eradicating the feral cats and they are as follows: a federal lawyer just new in the area, never married with two large dogs; a married dentist with three children and a thriving practice; a recently divorced real-estate broker with two children; and yours truly. The three women are young and treated me with kid gloves. Foreignness and age have a lot to do with this and we wasted much time because they felt they had to make me particularly welcome. Once they knew when I became an American citizen, the questions ceased. Next meeting, there will be four more women.
Anyway, they are interested in forming a group that will take care of problems in the area like the one about the cats. None of the three is interested in politics because each one is far too busy to think about what is going on--however, they would like to relax sometimes at night and they all know a cozy place where we could chat and have a couple of drinks. I think I committed myself to something I may regret, but then again it could be interesting. I could be the chaperon, the counselor, and the driver, I guess.
16958. Magoseph - 10/10/2005 5:09:49 PM Did you have an enjoyable weekend, Mac? 16959. Macnas - 10/10/2005 5:12:56 PM Very good, went to a clay shoot up in Tipperary, cut the grass at home, nice time with the family. 16960. Macnas - 10/10/2005 5:47:08 PM Home time, yay! 16961. wonkers2 - 10/10/2005 7:34:59 PM Lincoln, Nebraska, recently adopted a feral cat policy with involves picking them up, neutering them, and releasing them. Previously, they picked them up and killed them if they were unclaimed after a period of time. They claim their new approach will reduce or eliminate feral cats in a more humane way. 16962. judithathome - 10/10/2005 7:50:14 PM Yes, it will...they will eventually die of natural attrition and in the meantime, keep new cats out of their territory. 16963. thoughtful - 10/10/2005 11:35:34 PM This is the flag of pakistan
Anyone see why this is an impossibility? 16964. Magoseph - 10/10/2005 11:49:54 PM You mean that no star is on the moon? 16965. Magoseph - 10/11/2005 1:18:39 PM I stole the following:
Theodore Roosevelt Heller
