History Forum / General / British History / December 2006Yes, Virginia, Many American Democrats Are Actually Socialists
Yes, Virginia, Many American Democrats Are Actually Socialists -- although They Often Try To Deny It. But the Masks Often Slip... Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has flown off to Europe to meet with Socialists there and plan a Joint Agenda. Hilarious! Dean Is Simply Outstanding At Shooting Himself -- And His Political Party -- In The Foot. "Howard Dean, chairman of the national committee of the U.S. Democratic Party, is attending the two-day conference together with the leaders of leftist governments of several countries and party leaders from across Europe." Stay Tuned... DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Veritas Vos Liberabit ------------------------------------------------ European Socialists eager to work with U.S. Democrats Thu Dec 7, 2006 OPORTO, Portugal (Reuters) - European Socialists promised on Thursday to work to rebuild Europe's strategic alliance with the United States now that the Democrats control Congress after last month's elections. Socialist leaders attending a meeting of the European Socialist Party pledged that with the Democrats on the rise, strong ties could be renewed with the United States after years of cool relations with Republican President George W. Bush. Howard Dean, chairman of the national committee of the U.S. Democratic Party, is attending the two-day conference together with the leaders of leftist governments of several countries and party leaders from across Europe. "We are not anti-American, we want the real America, your America," former Danish Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, president of the European Socialist Party, said in remarks directed at Dean. The Democrats gained control of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1994 in the mid-term elections, reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2008 presidential race. "Europe needs an America that is back on track," said Portuguese Socialist Prime Minister Jose Socrates, whose country is hosting the meeting. "We need, today more than ever, to reinforce and renew the strategic alliance between the United States and Europe," Socrates said. "We know that a stronger Democratic Party is key for this to happen." Socialists, or centre-left governments, currently hold or share power in just over half of Europe. Many European governments, not just Socialist ones, have above all been angered by Bush's war in Iraq and what has been seen as the U.S. failure to work with allies in international affairs. They expressed hopes after last month's election for a new era of open dialogue on a more equal footing with Washington and the Bush administration during the final two years of his presidency. Socrates said Dean's Democrats "should know that they can count on European Socialists" for support. ------------------------------------------- Capital! The Wolves In Sheep's Clothing Are OUTED!

The mainstream media, as usual, misrepresented that attack, saying that it targeted four Shi'i civilians, despite the blood that covered the checkpoint and the cries of the puppet "Shock troops" that were heard by local witnesses throughout the attack. A bomb that had been packed in a cooking gas cylinder and planted by the side of the road in the Janiniyah area of al-Ghazaliyah in western Baghdad went off by a puppet "Interior Ministry Shock Troop (Maghawir)" patrol, killing five of the puppet "Shock Troops" and wounding three more of them. The US-installed Iraqi puppet regime claimed that its forces had disarmed a car bomb that was intended to kill innocent civilians in the predominantly Shi'i al-Kazimiyah district of Baghdad.

All that black leather, bulging chests and thighs; prawns being rammed up people's nostrils with naral intent - I don't know if I'll survive the evening, but by God, I don't plan to miss it! So many decisions - such as, do I wear chains or arrive lightly handcuffed? You're a literary sort of chap - when nilita is inserting the prawn into my nose, is she the deflowerer or the deflorist? I've never been able to decide who's who in these perverse extravaganzas... I must say Deirdre has an ingenious turn of mind; I'm hoping I can persuade her to stay over for New Year... I wonder if the restaurant management will book us for a month's run - the only other offer I've had is playing Santa Claus to pathetically weeping groups of tiny Chinese children, who tend to lose control of their bladders once esconced on Santa's knee, while their mothers haggle for a substantial discount on Santa's already pitiful wages in the true spirit of a Chinese Christmas. The fact that Santa's breath reveals that Santa has had a lot of medicine last night does not help enhance the feelings of love for all, apart from the prettier Chinese Mums, of course, who crinkle their eyes when smiling at Santa, causing instantaneous arrhythmia and desperate gropings around for Santa's hipflask and a surreptitious swig of medicine to still Santa's beating heart.... If all else fails, I can usually divert the crowd by lighting my breath and blowing fiery smoke rings at the security men, who watch Santa closely for any signs of child molestation in progress - it's a harsh, untrusting world when you're Santa... I get particularly offended when every second child asks if I'm going to have a baby... The Highlander Faodaidh nach ionann na beachdan anns an post seo agus beachdan a' Ghàidheil.

It's an excellent pilsner beer. Tsing Tao means Green Island, but the old China hands used to swear that it was an acronym for "This sh.t Is No Good To Any One." Makes the name easy to remember. After I moved to Canada, a Scottish friend who was master of a Chinese freighter out of Shanghai (the Chinese had a major shortage of captains in those days, so Europeans got the jobs and they paid very well indeed) used to bring me two cases from Shanghai every month when picking up Canadian grain, along with a case of a pretty nasty Chinese champagne called Daxiang or a similar name. Now Tsing Tao is sold in Canada and is quite popular, although not as good as the original Czech Pilsner, Urquell, while in today's Shanghai everyone drinks Veuve Cliquot, my favourite of all the French champagnes when I can afford it.

I'm madly taking notes here as to how to handle Mr. H. at Dim Sum. I'm gonna have to teach Mr. Highlander some class! And, Mr. H., "class" isn't something you are born into - it's a state of mind, a way of being and behaving! First things first, you're gonna have to put Hines and Tiglath in your killfile because some of their nastiness is rubbing off on you. And they are the paragons of low class. In fact, if there was no such thing as low class, they'd have no class at all! Secondly, pay attention and show respect to the good gentlewomen - Renia, Deirdre, and Sheila (who is currently on sabbatical doing Christmas baking and such no doubt). They truly are on your side, Mr. H. They are encouraging you to shine! They are neither the Witches of Eastwick nor Stepford Wives. They are freethinking courageous women who are not intimidated by men - Scots or otherwise! You have to show them that although you are a rebel, you are also a classy gentleman who is not at all intimidated by but rather an afficionado of smart assertive women!

Currently (and for a number of years) the airfield on Eastern Is. has been closed/deactivated, and the one on Sand Is. reduced to a single runway, 6/24, quaoted as 7900', asphalt, "chump change" in the vernacular of airfields. Asphalt in that sort of climate crumbles quickly unless regularly sealed and gives may to sand, so I suspect that other than the "path" of the abandoned runways, the frigate birds have taken over. Midway is avery poor atoll for shipping to shelter, and aside from the occasional MSTS ship visit and occasional logistics flights, it's a lonely place. The airfield is open to civilian traffic, and one presumbaly can charter an a/c in Honolulu to see the wildlife, requiring only a notification to the local Pacific Island Protectorate office and the Fish & Wildlife folks.
