Ass hole.

Bawbag.

What's wrong with that? Someone has got to spend the money. Can't have just any one learning multiple languages and bettering them selves.   











Btw, why the hell does that program exist anyway? You just know that some douche bag some where is going to abuse it. We need to have rotating elections based on income in both countries. Make it so that people from every economic class are filling meaningful positions. Rich to poor in every level of govt, with term limits of 10 yrs. Shit, I'm liable to get shot by the bible thumping, gu hugging ultra conservatives over here for just saying that.

A political storm is brewing over Sen. Barack Obama's recent statements. Last Sunday, Obama was explaining his difficulty with winning over working-class voters in Pennsylvania and the Midwest, saying they have become frustrated with economic conditions:

"And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," Obama said.

Obama locked my vote in, at that exact minute, just for saying that. 

Geeezzz, a little off topic, huh?

Looks like Hunt's time is up.

As if we didn't already suspect that he was supporting the Murdoch bid for BSkyB, despite the fact that he was meant to be impartial and working in the public interest.
He's a fucking Tory, 'public interest' isn't even on their radar.

[Glamdring]

I signed 38-degree's petition against all this last year. He cannot claim any ignorance of opposition to his dastardly plans.

As per usual an 'aide' is being blamed.
Fucking slime ball, won;t even take responsibility and instead pins it on his underling fall guy.

Prick and half.

[Wooster]

And how feeble is the excuse that the references to 'JH' in the emails is shorthand for the aide...who's name is Adam Smith?

[BarrieB]

Does "totally illegal!" in an e-mail mean I need more m*n*y?

[Wooster]

I'd say it meant 'we'll have to do some serious back scratching for Hunt in return for the information', especially taken in the context that he was previously tipped as the next Tory leader and may well have been again.

[Wooster]

So much for their plans to try and pass off Hunt giving evidence at the Leveson Enquiry as a fitting substitute for a proper investigation. Lord Leveson has told them to go fuck themselves.
