[BITList] dubba -ya and the home guard

[Colin t]

highly amusing, hugh

true - "GWB is holding things up because he hasn't finished colouring his book yet".

additionally, he is having his trusted ones go round trying to persuade people that, although his rating is about the worst of any president, he kept americans "safe", (avoiding the fact that 9/11 happened on his watch) and that he always had the well-being of the democratically  minded at heart. that he and the gang of three waltzed off with millions is also not mentioned.

however, it is looking promising for the gang of three to be charged with war crimes a la milosovic, etc............................that should keep them all pretty close to home.

what a useless irrelevance dubba-ya turned out to be - but it should have been no surprise to us. It is said he has an MBA from Harvard; that's what money can buy - it was certainly not obtained for his intelligence.

agree about the al gore quote.

PS     you made the name of the home guards town up - didn't you?

Colin,

Potential Pulizer Prize winners all of them.  However, I have seen the Keppel Enderberry imports quote and the Al Gore pollution quote attributed elsewhere to GW Bush - let's give the man credit where credit is due.  Incidentally, and on the latter, it is the custom for outgoing presidents of the US to take their books with them and endow a library somewhere to place them in - is it true that GWB is holding things up because he hasn't finished colouring them in yet?

>From today's Herald.  

The family of a retired Ayrshire miner, to mark his 90th birthday, applied to the Ministry of Defence for the medals he was due for serving in the Home Guard in Cumnock during the war.

The MOD was interested in the claim that he had been wounded while serving, until told by the family of the circumstances, that on the first parade night in which they had actual rifles rather than pickaxe handles, he was accidentally shot in the knee by a comrade.

The MOD explained that, as this came under the category of 'friendly fire', there would be no citation - even when the family wrote back to tell them: "When a man from New Cumnock is wounded, even accidentally, by a man from Cumnock, there is no way this can be described as 'friendly fire'."

Hugh,
