Thats what happens when you let left wing nutters get voted into local Govt.

In Alabama?

Danyl: Don’t be silly — it’s obviously totally irrelevant that while Democrats hold solid majorities in both houses of the State Legislature, that the Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Auditor and State Treasurer are all Republicans. (As well as both US Senators, and four out of seven Congressmen.) While they may be nutters, I don’t think you could fairly characterise any of them as being of the left wing variety.

Oh, and thanks to a quirk of the Alabama consitution governments at the county level have very little autonomy. So I guess it doesn’t matter that Cleburne County (of which Edwardsville is a part) is dominated by registered Republicans as well.

I wonder if the same pastors who told their congregation to go to the bank and pay to god they will approve your mortgage will reach in to their silk lined pockets and help them out?

Will we see a drop in falcons and holdens on the road soon with possible closures in Australia? what will bogans drive in 10 years time?

Let’s not forget that Clark’s Labour was hot to trot on tax-and-spend pork barrel projects.

Anyone for a $4,000,000 Chinese Garden in Dunedin?

It’s not all Bush’s fault that the US economy is in the crapper. But it could well all be Obama’s fault that it stays there for the next 4 years. Someone should tell this prick that governments don’t create jobs. Well, not meaningful ones anyway. It’s easy to create the illusion when you have the ability to steal from the taxpayers.

The countries that will come out of this global financial mess the best will be those who’s governments realise they can’t spend their way out of this one.

radar, none of the Right Wing Cheer Squad here is prepared to acknowledge the success Shrub has had in emulating his father.

Bush snr trashed the US economy, Clinton rebuilt it and Shrub has again destroyed it. US unemployment is now the highest it has been since the seppos kicked out Bush snr.

Left wing, anarcho syndicalist, or frickin’ libertarian, you’d be stupid not to ask for free government money for your city, especially when they’ve rather loudly announced they’re going to give a lot away.

Can’t they get the money from the UN.

Perhaps someone should tell them that the money is either being printed or borrowed (once again!) and let them reassess their demands.

After the last 8 yrs I find these stupedous claims forgiveable.

I am though concerned at the intelligence of Americans.

They have yet to realise the affluence bubble for the middle class in the US has been busted.

The middle class will struggle to survive from now on. It has been targeted and the coup d’grace administered.

The American dream is dead. Simple as that.

The police have stated they’re ‘targeting’ Motor cyclists here now. They’ve had there way for far too long persecuting drivers in 50 K areas where there are little or no accidents and ignoring the high ways where there are.

Have you noticed the public get no recognition for lower road tolls. Its all the police or Transit. The people are all children who have been taught to listen.

My own bailout proposal would be:

* Blue-ray DVDs of all cool TV programmes.

* IMAX Theatre.

* Google-Porn account

* Personal Predator Drone with unlimited Hellfire missile refills.

* Stryker for transport with the understanding that the cannon will only be used against SUVs

* nuclear weapon arsenal (once giving it to me, they’ll have to spend billions in a credible deterent)

And lastly but not the least (but certainly the cheapest)

* Letters of Marque
