So, New Zealand.
I hear it's just lovely this time of year. What's the popular jingo, nationalist, fundie catch-phrase: "America: Love it or Leave it"?

I'm gettin' ready.

to divert from all the beheading talk.
Anyone seriously considering a move out of the country if Chimp, Inc. wins in Nov?

4. Kewl!
:thumbsup: Thanks for that.

ps I like your sig-line. That's a hilarious bit.


Arthur: I am your king!

Woman: Well I didn't vote for you!

Arthur: You don't vote for kings!

Woman: Well 'ow'd you become king then?

(holy music up)

Arthur: The Lady of the Lake -- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!

7. How about...this version.
Bush: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
Democrats: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?
Bush: I am your president!
Democrats: Well, I didn't vote for you.
Bush: You don't vote for presidents.
Democrats: Well, how did you become president, then?
Bush: The blacked robed supreme justices appoint you. That is why I am your president!
Democrats: Listen. Strange unelected individuals living in ivory towers distributing power to one egotistical maniac is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical judicial appointment by people who run around in black robes who are themselves appointed by people in power.

11. "You live there, I take it?"
No we have friends in Australia (Brisbane) and stopped over in NZ back in 97. So we left Texas it was in the upper 90s lower 100s. Get off the plane in Auckland and it a cool 57°.

8. Vancouver B.C.
It's on the Pacific Ocean so it won't freeze up. And it's a major international city. I would love to live there.

9. I don't have enough immigration "points" to get into Canada
I wonder if they'll take the evil liberals under some political asylum program if W gets in again.

12. I am thinking of moving to Vancouver
I have been planning a job change anyway, and my kids are in college (and thus draft age), and they will need somewhere to go. The fact that anyone would vote for * is a very bad sign for the country.

13. Vancouver is a beautiful city
I noticed the talk about it, and I have to agree. It's gorgeous. I wouldn't mind living there if I had the chance.
