Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson just ' officially' pitched his hat into the run for the White House.

I like him, I think he is the most qualified person of the whole gang, Rep & Dem, but he did one thing that I think will hurt him.

He would give a few sentences in English...then repeat the same sentences in Spanish! Didn't bother me in particular but I'm afraid others will be put off by it.

You can include me as one of the others! :lol: Would not even give him a consideration now!

For me Richardson is out for speaking Spanish in announcement, McCain is out for supporting the current immigration bill, Hillary, Edwards, and Obama are out because they are Hillary, Edwards and Obama. At the current rate by the time of the election of 2008 I will have no one to vote for.

I think I will just write in Jigs as President and kolanuraven as VP. That should make for an interesting ticket :lol:

Why Its Important To Understand English

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to
exchange, so I went to the currency exchange window at
the local bank.

Short line.

Just one lady in front of me. . .an Asian lady who was
trying to exchange yen for dollars and she was a
little irritated . .

She asked the teller, "Why it change?? Yesterday, I
get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty??
Why it change?"

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Fluctuations".

The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people, too!"

A friend of mine who lived in Jonesboro, Arkansas said pretty much the same thing to me in 1992, concerning his governor............... :shock:

could you please supply a link to that fact? i have not been able to find one, in fact it seems a lot of scholars really question the fact that it really ever existed, and its exact location is still under debate by those that study those things. possibly southern Mesopotamia possibly Uruk possibly the Sumer region and not excluding Babylon
these locations cover not only Iraq but also Syrian, and some parts of Turkey,

It's the story that has the lesson. Where it was it what has happened to it since has no bearing.
