You do realize that there's a clause in the Canadian Pledge of Allegiance about football having only 3 downs, right?

Canada has two official languages—English and French. You need to have adequate knowledge of one of these two languages in order to become a Canadian citizen.

The citizenship knowledge test and your interaction with CIC staff will be used to assess if you have an adequate ability to communicate in either English or French. CIC staff will observe

    * your ability to understand basic spoken statements and questions, and
    * your ability to communicate basic information or respond to questions.

For example, as part of your interaction with departmental staff or as part of your written test or your interview with a citizenship judge, you will be expected to:

    * answer simple questions on familiar topics, using short sentences;
    * show that you know enough words for basic everyday communication;
    * tell a simple story about everyday activities;
    * speak about something you did in the past (or will do in the future);
    * give simple everyday instructions and directions; and
    * express satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

I wish we had that.

I think he's the worst we've had since Carter.  I never thought we'd have a president that would make me miss Clinton this much.

He's a complete Clinton clone, if there's any difference he's further to the right.

It should mystify you-- because I didn't say it.  I don't fear a Bachmann presidency like you guys do.  She's not my first choice, nor is she my second, third, etc.  But I agree with her politically a lot more than I do Obama.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Republicans hated Clinton so much they blew up a federal building.

MIM, there is nothing in the constitution about needing a debt limit.

I know. I think it's unnecessary to have it at all. And I don't like the idea of it if it's intended as a method for the Congress to devolve some of their powers to the executive. The McConnell thing goes farther in that direction. That's why I have distaste for it.

McVeigh was a registered Republican, though he was leaning toward Libertarian.

So what?  When a black person robs someone, they are robbed by a black person, not the Democratic Party.

How many black robbers are actually involved in politics enough to be registered?

Presumably all of them.  Blacks are still driven by machine politics.

Still, it doesn't matter.  When someone commits a criminal act, it's a stain on their personal honour and not that of their political party, especially in a country like the US where there are only two political parties.

Strike my last post;  my vote cancels out dergoof's.

Joke's on you, then.  My wife will vote as I tell her, so you need to come up with another vote to cancel out my two :contract:
