When a man is so far up his own arse he doesn't understand that he's not shafting Europe by being best pals with communism, he's starting the end of the US as a super power. Trust me, those guys will join forces, bye bye USA

I feel we way beyond the final scene, we're beyond the epilogue and, to make it worse, when the villain is finally dead, there are others even more mad to take over unless the people of the US realise how not great they've made America look when it really was a great nation.

In the UK we don't like talking about salary, it's a taboo to mention it in a job interview and most employers give a rough range on offer. Even couples don't share their salary with partners and, we don't like talking about it, why is this?

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
