#1 Don't they know it takes from 30 years to possibly forever to build a new refinery? That's the time factor here in the US...

#2 2013? I thought Dinnerjacket was planning on 2012 for when the 12th Imam would pop out and show himself? You mean I'm going to have to get a 2013 calendar? And what about health care; it's supposed to kick in in 2014?

#3 The Mahdi returns in 2012, we all either convert or are destroyed and therefore those healthcare costs the Tea Partiers are complaining about never happen.

#4 A refinery is a dangerous place. Flammable chemicals, high pressures. Lots of potential for accidents.

Indeed. A pity we don't have an intelligence agency that can still carry out ops in the middle east. Guess we'll have to let Lev do it.

#10 Darn it, if only we'd stayed in Brussels another year, I would have some idea of what was going on!

#11 Rough translation....are you have a few fries short of a happy meal? A few screws loose? Etc.

Ah. I would have had to come to Rantburg to learn that anyway, then -- they don't teach that in the kind of language classes I take.

#13 Of course, TW - the French authorities frown on McDonald's, even if the people seem to enjoy purchasing their products on occasion.

#14 I can't speak about the authorities in Belgium or Germany, but all the mothers of small children that I knew in both countries -- most of whom were not American -- loved to hang out at McDonalds. The little ones happily ran between the little McD playground and the French fries on the table, while the mothers got a chance to talk without worrying that they had to guard against rougher big children.

#16 I wish our dumbass government would push for us to be able to tell the arabs FOAD and produce our own gas. But no, they want to play with health care, wall streel, and GM instead...
