They may all have that feeling that there is soon to be a nuclear event somewhere in the world (take your pick-Pakistan/India?), so spend, spend, spend. Or maybe it's just because Congress is so close (Rep.-Dem.) that they are bribing like crazy for votes. No matter, it is LOW, and we are sliding into Never-Ending Socialism. Hillary will put the icing on the cake in 2008! Bye Republic!

Vote Democrat, liberal Democrat. Start the revolution sooner rather than later.

I'm wondering now if that's even true. Clinton at least made some feeble attempts at welfare reform and even signed some bill on it, meanwhile Bush is throwing more money at social problems than is imaginable --he wants to entice more 3rd world immigration by people unable to succeed by promising food stamps to immigrants who fail, he wants the US taxpayers to provide a welfare program for all the people in the world now.

You are all so ignorant about Bush and his policies. He is just trying to spend our assets on us before Mexico takes over. Give the man a break.

The lumpia is at Via's, and the street vendors are grilling the monkey meat. I could sure go for a frosty San Miguel with ice crystals in it, a plate of lumpia and a 10 piso bag on monkey meat right now.

"As a Drunken Sailor, I can tell you that no one can buy more booze with less money, anywhere in the world, than a drunken sailor."

"Spending like a Drunken Sailor" is actually a misnomer. It only applied to the first night in port for me. After that, I was able to pace myself and return to the ship with a couple of bucks still left in my pockets.

The first night ashore though, I would walk into a bar and throw 30-days back pay in the air. What stuck to the ceiling, I would save. The rest of it that fell to the floor would go towards contributing to the local economy.

The lumpia is at Via's...
I liked the ones served at The Beggar's Banquet the best and the beer always had ice in it.
A volcanic ash graveyard now.

I think the best liberty I ever had in Subic was right after the big ereuption. Sitting at tables out in the streets piled with ash from the roofs, the beer cooled with ice from who knows where cause there was no electricity, bars lit by candlelight and no a/c, constant earthquakes...the whole atmosphere was a blast to me.
