Depending on how you define a year which is not exactly clear, nor is the concept of a week.

Accepting time clues from people who still use a lunar calendar is not exactly a sane occupation.

older than dirt? well, that can’t be more than about 6000 years, then.

Paraguay is probably a good choice as the laws are subject to influence based on your bank account. Brazil used to be the destination of choice, but they’ve gone left and it isn’t as safe as it was.

Huh. It’s a little harder to whip a yid grannie out of thin air here in the States than it was in the failing Soviet Union back in the late 1980’s, when it was just a matter of bribing the right bureaucrat in the right government bureau to provide “proof” that your grannie was a genu-wine heeb and thus you were eligible for Israeli citizenship. The Bush family tree is just too well known to be able to invent a yid grannie that way. So I don’t think the Shrubbery is headin’ to Israel. But there’s all that stuff about his ranch in Paraguay. Does Paraguay have an extradition treaty with the US?

I know the markets appreciate the change and I hope like hell he doesn’t comment on the G7 meeting which is bad enough on it’s own, John. They decided not to decide, and they don’t need the “Great Decider” chiming in on that failure.

Moi, he is going to need to go into hiding for a couple of years to avoid the angry crowds. He may have to check into Israeli citizenship, or some other country that won’t extradite citizens.

I am just amazed that he thinks people still want to see him. Anywhere in the world….I mean, really. The buttwipe has ruined the economy of the Entire Freaking World….

This well may be why he seems to have shifted to giving his daily White House lawn speech to Saturday morning at 8 am, when no markets are open to vote with their wallets.

Al Capp and Walt Kelly were the forerunners of Gary Trudeau.

Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul that you have to be older than dirt.

Okay, look. I can remember L’il Abner. So, just you not go there.

I responded to your post on this, Rook. The guy is a one-man economic disaster.

In Al Capp’s comic strip “L’il Abner” which is probably well before the time of most of y’all, there was a character, Joe Btfsplk, who wandered around with a small black cloud over his head because he was a total jinx. The Shrubbery is the Joe Btfsplk of economics.
