>>Such intelligence you have. You can call me an idiot but I call you a cold blooded liar on so many level that it makes you pathetic.<<

You have yet to point out anything even incorrect, much less a lie. I have reported you accordingly.

>>I think we ought to lay off persona attacks as to appearance, etc.<<

When a fat person tells everyone else they are too fat AND attempts to use the power of her husband to force people to change how they live, then personal appearance (i.e. fat-eosity) is very much in play.

And it ONLY applies to said fat person — not to those who comment on that person’s hypocrisy. Some idiots on this thread (not you) can’t see the difference.

>>For those who don’t know, you can’t get a Kiwi fightin’ mad by dissing his mother, but call him an Australian and Mohammed Ali would have to employ rope-a-dope to defend himself.<<

You mean NZ is NOT part of Australia? Who knew!

Well, for all practical and geopolitical purposes it is just a suburb of Australia (they even share the same accent), so I will continue to think of them as one entity.

I hope the Aussies out there will forgive me for dragging their country down...

...first of all, Limbaugh didn’t attack her for her weight, he thinks like most Americans, government has no power to tell us what to eat, how or when. It’s the LA times headline once again skewing what he said...
The first lady has no power to make policy...so why is it she has an initiative to spend 6 billion dollars we have to print for her health kick, while knocking down high calorie ribs? It’s the ole do as I say,not what you’ll soon not be able to afford, line that plenty of people are getting tired of....
It’s the weekly lying, that opens up “comments”.

We’re OK here in Auckland, as the earthquake happened on the other island, in Christchurch. I have three Guardian Angels in Christchurch, all are OK. One had a very close call and is lucky to be alive.

Evidently you didn’t, but that’s not an uncommon thing for some Americans, mate. We’ve never been invaded by you Yanks, so it is understandable that your NZ geography might be a bit shaky.

> Well, for all practical and geopolitical purposes it is just a suburb of Australia (they even share the same accent), so I will continue to think of them as one entity.

That’s a very good, convenient way to think of Oz. Here in NZ we refer to it as “West Island” (to match our “North Island” and “South Island”), and we are in a gradual process of colonizing it. So far, we’ve managed to sneak in about one million Kiwis into Oz, and they haven’t noticed it yet!

This probably also explains why they sound similar to us: they usually learn how to speak English from one of the New Zealand teachers we’ve sent over there, because Australian English is unintelligible to the untrained ear.

> I hope the Aussies out there will forgive me for dragging their country down...

On the contrary, our Australian brethren will be highly complimented. Every time a Kiwi leaves New Zealand to live in Oz, the average IQ of both countries goes up.

Let’s just bury the hatchet.

You know I didn’t “lie” about anything.

The point has always been Rush was right about his point out shelly’s weight when SHE was the one using her husband to take rights away from Americans (through taxation). The weight (or heft) of the commentator is not germain.

Rush has a big frame but he is not obese by any current standard.

So, I forgive your accusation and laugh with you on your commentary about Kiwis and Aussies.

We’re both FReepers — even across the world we have bigger fish to fry than this. We have the Freedom of Western Civilization at stake. And I ain’t joking about that!

Amigos, mate?

Let’s put a shrimp on the barbie (I am 100% sure both you and your Aussie cousins HATE that by now) and call it a day.

But, this does let me post one of my favorites — International Alert Levels:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”.

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”. The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance”. The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards”. They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”. The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender”. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing”. Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides”.

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs”. They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose”.

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies “just in case”.

Canada doesn’t have any alert levels.

New Zealand has raised its security levels - from “baaa” to “BAAAA”. Due to continuing defense cutbacks, New Zealand has only one more level of escalation, which is “I hope Australia will come and rescue us”.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, mate”. Three more escalation levels remain: “Crikey!”, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and “The barbie is canceled”. So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

(BIG GRIN!) That’s great! I might just “borrow” that one for future use.

(I’m not a fan of NZ’s defense cuts — at all. They are terrifying.)

I wouldn’t call her “fat” but meechelle does not have a body that anyone would desire to have....other than the morbidly obese.

I will certainly agree that I am not envious of her body in any way but I still say she is not fat.
