Well, the Ruskies dont like us, since they shut down the gas supplies (although - better Russians closing the gas, than Germans letting it), and I already live in a capitalist country... So, how worse can it get?
Oh, and to explain a complex philosophical issue... Beer = good. Too much beer = alcoholism+ beer gut + overall fuckupness = very bad.

The Russians would be choking on their vodka if that happened! Besides, you'll have to live in a democratic and capitalist nation then.
As for Obama, I can almost guarantee his picture will be plastered all over the front pages of several hundred major newspapers this morning. I already checked the two in Philadelphia and he's all over it.
Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing being bad for you?

I havent seen todays newspaper yet, but I have a "hunch" that Obamas picture will be all over the first page (it was on half of the first page when he was elected). And they even broadcasted (and badly synchronized) the inauguration live on the national TV station!!!

Im an Australian and i'm fricken sick of seeing Obama's mug plastered all over my AUSTRALIAN news papers, magazines.... etc. I don't watch the news for this precise reason. It's all full of American politics........... seriously he got first page of the Sunday paper....PLUS a 4 page spread... No offence Americans but he does not run this country, well at least that's what i'd like to believe. Yes, he should get some mention, but he has been all over every form of media in this country of mine for what feels like an eternity now.... I can't imagine what you have to deal with over in the U.S.... it's bad enough here and i am on the other side of the world.... not even in the same hemisphere!!!!!!! You know sometimes i feel that we Australians should have a chance the vote in the American presidential election...... Lord knows we have to deal with the outcomes of it.....

Certainly NOT worthy of this garbage all over my friggin television day after day! There have been 43 others that have done at least as much (or more). Oh wait, is it because he is black??!?!?! AH!!!! And I thought this was not about race!
The Princess has tried to start that, "Oh you are just bitter" crap with me and I am quick to point out that the election is over. Why is it that I should drool over a man that has not done a thing as president, other than have dark skin color??? WHY? Because he is the first? Whoopee. That is not in the job description and will make NO difference when he actually has to do something. For all of this talk (and it clearly was only talk) that he "transcends" race, he and his sycophants are sure quick to scream about his color! Jeez, it is still on the local stations!
I have been in the position of "losing" the election in my life.I can handle that. I did not vote for Clinton either time! I got over it. Sure enough, for all of his hype, he proved to be just what I thought he was. I truly hope I am wrong about Obama. I want him to do well. It will serve me personally and that is important! But this is just too much. It has reached the point of stupidity. (Quoting Message by Head banger from Tuesday, January 20, 2009 3:02:48 PM)
