Clinton may have been a lot of things, but damn he was pretty slick, when it came right down to it, and he'd have been a lot of use in that position if he hadn't sleazed his way into the white house.

What we need to do is get these incompetent MORONS *out* of there before they make an even worse mess, and replace them with folks who have enough cultural and psychological knowledge of the people they are dealing with to communicate effectively, and stick it to em for our benefit while leaving them happy about it.

Last figures I heard (can't remember where, sorry) stated that with current usage + estimated increase in consumption, the Saudi reserves will be "gassing out" in 2047. Sorry for the really bad pun.

Why wait though Fredfirma, just put a rope in a box, mail it to prince with instructions on how to piss up it. Might be kind of fun.

If thw White House asked him not to go, and he tried to introduce foreign policy views which are not in line w/ those of the Administration, then yes. Censure, prosecute....which ever. Whom ever violated U.S. law here, ....let them face the music.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is not related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by blood, its an expanding family but related rather by family ties.

Newsom now declares state of emergency in California over homosexuals and the monkeypox
