Hey, it's France. How hot your wife is is the new measure of wealth.
He's been working to set this up for a while now.
Nude pictures of your wife are the new currency.
No more Franc, it's now going to be called the Carla.
Uh, Clifton, you ought to learn something more about Sarcrazy...
Well, how to put this? Um, I think I already said enough.
Hey in Bhutan they use GNH (Gross National Happiness) as an indicator. My wife visited there a couple of years ago and found it pretty intriguing. It's incredibly different than life in the west (or even much of the east): Buddhism permeates almost every aspect of everyday life there.
I thought you guys liked France's model. You seem to support it all the time.
He's an insider who is reasonably controllable and reasonably presentable, which is why he was shoehorned into the French Presidency.
No other reason. So he's just spouting what he's been told to spout. Nothing more.
If he was not an insider-he'd never be the President. He'd be shoveling crap somewhere on some french farm or whatnot.
Like the Premier of Ontario past. Mike Harris. How did a Golf Pro become the Premier of Ontario? Simple. he was a member of the club who was reasonably controllable and reasonably presentable. No other reason.
Now, ask yourself..How did Obama or Bush Junior become the President of the United States?...or...How did an idiot like Harper become the Prime Minister of Canada?
All Sarkozy is doing is signaling buy-sell report timing to the financial flunky writers who do rubber stamp work for the different insider owned organizations. Then the non-insiders do the requisite buy-sell market fluctuation thing (they read papers and watch TV, don't yah know - gotta keep informed!)....and the insiders milk them - a little more. Simple. Like it's always been.
Keep buying and selling with your brain and and you'll continue to do just fine. Just watch for the dancing routine, to check for signals when they are really going to tank things. I think you do all this already, though.
Good name for her, "France's Model." I do like France's Model!
Carla Bruni deserves my support.
I also kind of hoped Linda Ronstadt would be our first lady back in 1976!
It's the set-up cue for the dumping to prepare for the vote in Ireland on the Euro Union-which already has 107,000 laws pre-built and ready to go.
It was also a very powerful astrological cycle point-and the insiders use this knowledge of how it affects the general populace to effect the changes when they want them. Meaning, they plan and time their moves according to astrological cycles. they have always done this and there are always groups out there to tell you it is bullshit*.
*Ground pounder asks question: "Thank god at least someone recognizes it is bull, this astrology crap...just like I want to hear", the general population says. "let's believe in that guy-it satisfies my emotions and what I think I know, I'm more comfortable that way, so it must be right...right?"
Wrong, Son. this is the 'ephemeris' for this current time period, and it shows the trouble times as fitting the pattern exactly--like it always does, with no errors -in and through all known history. It is very difficult to decipher unless you know something about astrology, though. Scroll down to September..and you'll see it outlined in red:

Uh, j_j, you ought to learn more about Carla Bruni. Remember, one man's nut-case is another's genius. And if you think he's crazy, check out the babe... maybe she likes 'em a little whacked out.
Sadly, Linda became a huge pig at the dinner table and a nutcase of the blue variety. Today, she resides at a huge banquet in Tuscon with her adopted children. Eventually, she will be fined by the government for being obese and never make into the R&R Hall of Fame.
I have a great idea, Clifton. Plan a rim to river to rim trip through the Grand Canyon in July. I want to see your name in the upcoming and updated edition of, Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.
Here's part two of the big 'play'. Nice set up:

All on the same day as the head of Rockefeller is found with a headshot in his car:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601110&sid=a0G8EFwMkukE
I guess he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed.
I hadn't seen the Rockefeller story yet!
Self inflicted, yeah, I believe that.
I think that's extremely nasty, wishing ill on someone else. I guess I should expect it here, though. Audiophiles do seem to lack skill at human interaction.
But the book you cite, is that the companion to "Deaths in Yellowstone"?
How this relates to someone's ability to govern I simply don't know. By this standard, Larry Craig would be president.
Larry Craig's wife isn't hot.
Maybe you mean his Minneapolis boyfriend?
And, Sarkozy's bird can sing.
Larry Craig may say he's got everything he wants, but his bird can't sing.
J_J, Larry Craig?
Do you have a Madeleine Albright fetish?
Probably is a companion. It was in all the gift stores in the Grand Canyon park.
***cough*** Well, you did miss the point, but I think, rather, that you avoided it on purpose.
Sounds like it. A good book to get incautious pre-teens to browse through the first night there.
Which , rim, Lamont? I have been to both the North and South Rims, without feeling any urge to jump. "...rim to river to rim" makes no sense, in July or any other month. There is no one "rim" -- merely an endless, variagated maze of nonlinear entrances into the canyon. Have you been reading too many topographical maps, again?
The French Police were right.
J-J, what could YOU possibly know about "the ability to govern"? Suggestion -- YOU run for President. Of anything. Be sure to create a Ministry of Derisive Laughter.
It's actually a very good and informative book. Lots of things get people killed in the Grand Canyon. Nearly all of which is avoidable. Bad judgment is the prevailing factor from falls, the elements, flash floods, typical drownings, aircraft, rock falls, poisonous wildlife, freak errors and accidents, suicide, and even murder. I had been seeing the book in all the gift shops throughout the area. I didn't get a copy until I fell over backwards trying to feed a squirrel on Hermits Rest. I didn't have to go far. There were copies for sale at the gift shop at Hermits Rest. 30 yards from where I fell down. Luckily, the only thing I fell into was a cactus instead of the abyss. It is bad judgment to feed a squirrel close to the rim with a sign right there stating not to feed wildlife. Incidentally, while we were there they found the body a 43 year old male that must have gotten lost off Yaki Point. He'd been missing several days. Hiking alone is bad judgment.
"rim to river to rim" makes perfect sense if you get the right permit. It means actually what it says it means. Down the south rim, across the river, up the north rim or vice versa you dumb senile shit. Of course, you've been to the Grand Canyon. There was never a doubt in my mind. Like Johnny Cash you've been everywhere, man. I was just hoping you try to get across so the ascent would kill you because if a fall didn't get you a cardiac would. You're so wrapped up your ass that even the simplest shit has to be explained out in great painful detail for you. All your posts refer to yourself is the main problem but you do at least read entire posts by others. Get it? It's the Clifton show!
Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer said he was told in a late-night call from US President Barack Obama that the shield would not go into place in the Czech Republic and that Poland had been given a similar message.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090917/twl-us-to-scrap-plans-for-missile-shield-2802f3e.html
The real reason they are scrapping the shield is that we will just do it unilaterally with our secret satellite and ground based system - same outcome, without causing a fuss.
All part of the vast machine.
Now, for my next trick, I will cross London without being photographed by government cameras.
Okay, nitwit -- you wish I would commit suicide by trying to fly. Just say so.
And I wish you the best, too.
For you, Johnny Cash (in some twisted way) images the man who has been everywhere, like "the world's most interesting man." Does Cash, too, swig Dos Equis? Do you? Or are you still stuck with white lightnin'. Where have YOU been, Carolina Cretin?
North Carolina is not "everywhere," although it may well be a major destination for all the minor simians of this world who are looking for a tribal center.
Or course I have been to the Grand Canyon, nitwit. I live out here. Duh.
Wish me a more probable death. Like trying to get out of the left bunker that lines the 17th hole at Pebble Beach. Or humping the rocks lining the East Walker River, while trying to land a 7-pound Cutthroat.
If your death-fantasy is to try to fly across the Grand Canyon, feel free. You could save more than a little time by skipping the trip down and back up.
Actually, I hope you live to be a hundred-thirty. Perhaps your shrunken brain will be an object worthy of a National Geographic TV special. "The Idiot Who Survived -- How Does Low Cognitive Ability Correlate with Longevity"??
It has been wonderful talking to you again, "NCDrawl." I am taking notes for a detailed monograph on whether or not morons try to think. You have been a great help. Give me more.
I don't know what you are getting at, Cliffy, but lamont is most certainly not me. He is his own guy..ive been on stereophile hiatus for a bit. Oh yeah, as far as JC and NC go, watch your goddamned mouth..JC was the man above all men, a God. NC= a hell of a state.
Weve got Bob Moog, Tom Wolfe, Nicholas Sparks, Eva Gardner, Andy Griffith, Micheal Jordan, Linda Lavine, hell..the list goes on and on.
Hell yeah. It's Johnny H. Cash to you, dammit!
Sorry, not too often I get to make JC jokes and keep it inoffensive!
But...Linda Lavin?
Jessy Helms and Strom Thurmond, you say? (Sam Ervin was a great American, though!)
Liz Dole! The red version of Hillary!
Maya Angelou.
Get ready: David Brinkley and Edward R Murrow!
The good: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Andy Griffith, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Howard Cosell, Richard Petty (I know him a little and he is a jewel.)
The bad: Clay Aiken, Michael Jordan.
The good far outweighs the bad!
Then there's ncdrawl.
Clifton, its a hiking permit not a flying permit. Nitwit....
you dont like Lavin? Not a mels diner fan? I actually just pulled her name out of my ass because I couldnt remember the other names..:). she did a hell of a Diary of Anne Frank on Broadway, though. I've worked for her in Wilmington, doing shakespeare in the park. cool lady.
oh yeah, Randy Travis..Kerouac lived here for a bit. Dennis Hopper has a summer home here. Ben Vereen, Ronnie Milsap, Ryan Adams, Nina Simone,Warren Haynes, Tori Amos, Roberta Flack..
. but, since you mentioned me, I want to point out that *my* being a resident of this state immediately nullifies any negatives.
Yes, we can agree on that.
Although I admit not having have been farther east than Banner Elk and Boone...
But I suspect we might discuss what your descriptive phrase means
New Japanese government declares war on powerful civil service
The new Japanese government has set out to stamp its mark on the country with gusto, targeting the all-powerful bureaucracy for its first broadside.

Hang onto your hats. Keep all limbs inside for the duration of the ride.

This one just keeps going!
Former Japanese finance minister Shoichi Nakagawa found dead
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6860536.ece
Mr Nakagawa was, in many ways, a typical senior member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) which ruled Japan almost undefeated until this year. He graduated from the law faculty of the University of Tokyo and became a banker.
