JDKJ: I hope all those Teabaggers croweded on the Hill do bum rush the Capitol Building as promised and crowd into their Congresspersons' Offices. I'm dying to see that happens. And how the Capitol Police respond.

Valdearg: Oh, and apparently, he's cool with female homosexuals. Only those dirty male homos are mentioned in the bible, but ladies, if you want to dabble with ladies, it's all cool! (Just make sure you let him watch.)

Valdearg: To DEFEAT OBAMA-NATION, we must take a close look at all of the "Social Engineering" contained in the so called 1964 Civil Rights Act, and take legal steps to remove this "Social Engineering" contained in the so-called 1964 Civil Rights Act.

JDKJ: And that's something for which Reagan is guilty. He completely messed up the airline industry with deregulation. And it's never really recovered since.

but i want to know how is shoe going to help inovation?
"Look at my SL avatar. I support technological innovation!"
“Look at my SL avatar. I support technological innovation!”
Yeah... 'Look at me, Look at me!'
I'd rather they stay out. Politicians bring nothing but problems.
I'll have to say that as a resident of the Philippines, our president is grasping at straws here.
Everybody here pretty much knows that Gloria's overall ratings are anything but healthy, and it does piss me off that for all the suffering and strife our country's going through...she's putting money into getting an SL account?
I want my tax money back, you BIR thieves!!!
I keed, I keed. Please don't beat me with the clue bat.
Also regards to language; Phillipinos are a pretty multilingual mob. Almost like central european. Tagalog, english and spanish (or portugese or whatever the original colonialist language was).
...and did you just refer to my people as a mob?
I don't think he meant to refer to us as a mob in a bad way. After all, Philippines has two national languages (the second being English).
Well, that doesn't change my perception of her being a CONNIVING, CHEATING, CHEAPSKATE of a President.
Madam President, if you're reading this, let me tell you that this move of yours pales in comparison to what you did in your administration (ZTE Broadband deal, 'Hello Garci' scandal, Fertilizer Fund Scam, cash gifts, the fact the the PhP is strong but the commodity price is too damn high, among other things).
If I were you, I'd resign real quick.
Yes, God knows we need another power vacuum. You have any suitable replacement in mind?
