Silver Lining 2
Sunday, February 3, 2013 @ 12:59 PM

Went to see 'Silver Lining' last evening. Funny kind of movie really. I enjoyed most of it but it 'sagged' a bit two thirds of the way through. I suppose you could call it a 'feel good factor' film.

Saw Tony Blair on the BBC this morning. He still talks a good talk, but wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He took us into an illegal war in Iraq, and now that country is a million times worse off than before the war started, notwithstanding that Saddam Hussein was a despotic dictator. Remember 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' and all that garbage? Of course if George W. had half a brain it would be fifty percent more than he has now. If that man had to take a urine test, he'd write the answers on his hand before he took it.The US armaments industries backed his election and payback was the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Lovely oil, construction, and defence contracts worth billions came later of course.

The yellow Tory Clegg, is there no beginning to his talent? He reminds me of the man in the science fiction movie who is first to see the Creature.

I think ninety nine percent of politicians give the rest a bad name.

I asked my wife what she thought of Marx. She replied that she thought their clothes had dropped off a bit but that their food was still brilliant.....She asked me the other day where the Cannes Film Festival was being held this year.....

My wife's sister married a German who complained that he couldn't get a decent bagel in his home country. My wife said it was his own fault. "Why so?" he asked. "Well, you shouldn't have bombed my grandpa's chip shop in 1942. Logic and my wife are distant cousins....very distant.

My brother has the world's oldest globe....it's flat. Africa is moving along at a good pace now. They have a MacDonalds in nearly every town. That explorer MacDonald could never keep it in his trousers.

When the white Settlers and Missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible, and the Africans had the land. The Settlers and Missionaries said "Let us pray". The Africans duly closed their eyes. When they opened them, the Africans had the Bible, and the Settlers and Missionaries had the land.

Of course illegal aliens in the USA have always been a problem, ask any Sioux, Cheyenne, Apache, etc etc etc. Mustn't criticise Americans though, they have the best taste that money can buy, and they always carry that big personality in their back pockets...in their wallets.

Three heavily pregnant Ipswich women were in the maternity ward in Ipswich General together. One says, "I was underneath during conception so I'm definitely having a boy". The second one says "I was on top so I'm definitely having a girl". The third one starts crying, "That means I'm definitely going to have puppies".
