As usual "Pig Bladder" had nothing of value to say!

And as usual, Clarence takes over the job of "fool" once again,
announcing to the whole world who else it is who has nothing
of value to say.

For the record, I don't care for the french government. They are
every bit as craven and two faced as our current administration. The
current fad by those on the right of shit-hammering the french for
every little thing though certainly seems like there are some out
there with some kind of weird inferiority complex though. I mean,
heaven forbid that other countries look out for their best interest
rather than ours.

I don't know about heaven, but the treaty they signed forbids it after one
of us has been attacked.

What you said applies to Russia though.

Your money doesn't support the French anyway. At least, not
more than 70% of what it used to, ever since George "Economic
Disaster" Bush took over the dollar.

is worth only $210 now. And it only

Poor clueless Democrat. Are you having any trouble buying _anything_
at a good price?

Good point. Most people don't know that French vineyards were
destroyed by rot and vine cuttings from California were sent to France
to re-plant them.

But you know how it is... we bad Americans never bail out the
Europeans ;-)

Hey, speaking of rotten French things, we just had a Safeway Select
Creme Bruille for dessert. Comes frozen in a box with two beautiful
big flat ceramic ramekins with the custard inside, and each has its
own sugar packet. You thaw it, sprinkle the sugar on top, and blast it
with a propane torch to crystalize the sugar. Takes a bit of practice
to get the knack, just like learning to solder. It was *really good*.
And I can reuse the ramekins for my Kozyshack Bruille version.

It was, er, made in France. We had it with, er, Pouilly Fuisse.

Sorry.

The price of the Euro is indeed a disaster... for Europe. I could
either let my products get cheaper in Europe and undercut my
competitors, or raise my European prices and make more money. But
wait... I don't have any European competitors! Guess I know what I'll
do...

Do you ever say anything interesting, or nice, or funny, or
thoughtful, or related to electronics? I thought not.

And why are you obsessed with excrement and urine? Given the choice,
I'll stick with to food and wine.

Excuse me... gotta go stir the grits.

No, that one was in the throat. These would be in the kidneys:

Meat.
Oil.
Houses.
Cars.
Tomatoes.
Leading-edge video cards.
Auto insurance.
Health insurance.

I suppose you blame "W" for bad weather ruining the tomato crop?

And, IIRC, you live out here in my neighborhood in the Foothills. No
more land (and Californicators moving in) does have a way of raising
house prices... something like +25% in the last year.

For attaining the rest of your list might I suggest working for a
living ;-)

Well, you can work until you drop, but that doesn't make the prices any
better.

I don't think prices are high, except maybe gasoline, but it's still
cheaper than milk ;-)

You asked. I answered. You belittled the facts.
But that is how the Republican party works.

"Facts are stupid things."-Ronald Reagan

Facts are to be obfuscated, derided, distorted, denied,
evaded, and invented to suit the persuasive goal.
They are not to be respected as indicators of reality.
Reality interferes with the sophistry that underpins all
of Conservative political philosophy.
And, IIRC, you live out here in my neighborhood in the Foothills. No

You might, but since I've been working for a living since
I was 13 years old, you'd be pissing into your own face.

Milk is now $4 a gallon, bread $3 a pound, and unless you
make my kind of money, you can forget steak exists.

And yes, Bush is responsible for the continuing decline in
the value of the dollar, as it is falling along with the
world's confidence that America will remain solvent, which
is compounded by the rate at which Bush is running up our
debt with no means of repaying it.

Gasoline is actually about 50% cheaper than it should be,
if oil prices were any factor in it.

The question is, why haven't gas prices hit $3/gallon,
now that oil is 100% more expensive?

"Maybe we have too much."
