Not much of a story.
The Americans invaded, we saw, we kicked their butts. And would have finished burning down the White House, but we ran out of rum. Even then, there wasn't good booze in the US. Even the women know it.

In response to whether the public should vote for a Mormon for president, one should know what beliefs a candidate had.
Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman have Mormon roots and they have been vague about their beliefs and loyalty to the LDS church.
Mormon theology includes ideas like their priesthood brethren will become the government leaders, or future kings of the world, in a globalized theocracy, and that their male leaders will take over when a second coming of Christ occurs. They believe they are the pre-ordained leaders to rule over a coming theocratic kingdom.
Worthy Mormon males are temple attending, dressing in white with special learned handshakes, altar rituals, Masonic rites and gestures and do secretive activities different from normal society.
They believe they are the future gods of new worlds in a life after this one. They follow prophets with ever-changing doctrine and change their fictional "Book of Mormon" every time it is found to be un-politically correct.
Their women are taught they are good for breeding, to have large families.
A member of this cult is loyal to its church leaders and to whatever their modern prophets tell them is gospel, which changes at their will.
They claim to be Christian, but Mormon polytheism of many gods/goddesses in a hereafter, rituals that must be performed in their temples, garment wearing and works (not grace) that saves a person is different ideology.
It is debatable whether Mormons are Christians, and they have other scriptures special to Mormonism written by their leaders, not just the New Testament, like their Doctrine and Covenants and Book of Mormon.
To learn about them and their practices, beliefs and personal character will help us determine whether they are the future leaders of Americans. Or are they really stuck in their controversial past?
Ah, you mean the penal colony. The one staffed with convicts who think that their jail is run by somebody called Fahsters!!!!
"Australia and New Zealand share three main commonalities. Firstly, the urban societies of both countries were created by the British in the last three centuries, and built on the invasion of a population that didn't live in cities. Secondly, around 20 per cent of the population of both countries are migrants. Thirdly, both countries are in the same part of the world.
Although both countries share some commonalities, they have been subjected to differing historical and environmental influences that have resulted in significant cultural differences. Specifically, Australia was founded to be a penal colony while New Zealand was founded to be a religious colony. Furthermore, Australia is a harsh land of droughts, snakes and desert while New Zealand is a heavenly land with lakes, glaciers and fertile soil."
Yup, just ask the Lord of the Rings movie makers.
"Australian and New Zealanders both like to insult each other with jokes. Traditionally, when Australians joked about New Zealanders, they would have some kind of lewd twist on the New Zealander's affection for sheep or refer to them as South Pacific Poms (English). When New Zealanders joked about Australia, they would have some kind of twist on Australians being stupid. For example, when former New Zealand prime minister Robert Muldoon was questioned about increased levels of emigration from New Zealand to Australia, he responded that these migrants "raised the average IQ of both countries."" from http://www.convictcreations.com/culture/newzealand.html
Yeah, I at least have the newspaper clippings about it. Funny how the Kennedys turned out to be a bunch of progressives, though.
In 1980 Frank Fahrenkoph was a young Nevada lawyer and a rising star in Nevada Republican politics. Both he and Governor Laxalt weren’t on the Reagan band wagon, they were the ones behind it, pushing. A lot of folks got a free ride but Laxalt and Fahrenkoph did the work. There aren’t very many people who deserve more credit for making Reagan president. Reagan was concentrating on the East and everything that we did, even outside of Nevada, was run through Laxalt and Fahrenkoph. Reagan hand selected both men to co-chair the RNC during his terms. Fahrenkopf now represents the casinos.
In 2010 Fahrenkoph endorsed Reid.
What the hell happened?
I was told that Angle was warned both publicly and privately not to bring Ralph Reed and his anti-gambling politics into Nevada. When she did it anyway, the casinos had nowhere else to go. Reed, if you remember was implicated in the Abramoff scandal when he was paid by one tribe to oppose gambling licenses of another tribe. For a large hidden fee he brought his righteous Christian indignation into play. In 2010 the casinos had a choice, they could buy off Reed and his double-dealing Christ-yuns or they could support Reid who had, at least, been supportive of the industry. The unions, who were already supporting Reid, weren’t half as crooked as Reed’s religious roadshow.
It didn’t make a difference as this election was decided on the Hispanic vote but Clark County Republicans (including Mormons) may have moved slightly more toward Reid because of this. It wouldn’t be because they were Mormons but because they were Republicans, and it wouldn’t have been more than a few points. It was a “Hide your wallets, the Baptists are in town type thing.” It had nothing to do with Reid being Mormon.
I’m sure the old Mormon precincts that I remember are much more diffuse now, as is all of Las Vegas, but the Mormon vote is solid Republican.
Ha!
Why??
This stuff sounds like it could have been put out by the LDS pr department; glossing over yet another MMM incident!
I want to read the REST of the story, as told by a Canadian ex-pat! ;^)
One can TELL that this sign is NOT in Quebec, or else the ENGLISH wording would be printed last or not at ALL!

I guess we yanks DO owe you folks a bit of a favor; for so depleting the British military and treasury in fighting the French, that we were able to gain independence a few years later.

Unlikely. That would force them to find another excuse for losing.
