Yes, I think that was her. A blond haired lady. She's pretty muich nailing all the history related categories.
when even Scott Pelley can no longer cover for him (but he sure tried…the media is at the point of being a joke now, a dangerous joke), it's over for the One.
Read a commentary that went something like this. What would you do if you were in a professional business meeting and someone started acting like Biden?I would probably demote or fire the guy (or send him for drug testing) These clowns are toast and I predict a landslide for Romney.
It is a long test. I did about 30 questions, missed 2.Phid, in what way does your problem solving question have to do with citizenship?
If he wins the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, then yes.
So, since he's won neither (and Afghanistan is now worse than it was 4 yrs ago), then no. We need a conventional warfare type General now.

I remember joking around with some British friends telling them I have to work on my British accent before I visit. They just laugh and ask “which one?” I imagine they are correct because if they said they need to work on their American accent, I'd ask which one as well.Here is a list of the most popular British accents.List of Cool Accents 2008/9 1. Queen's English 20% 2. Scottish 12% 3. Geordie 9% 4. Yorkshire 7% =. Cockney 7% 6. Northern Irish 6% 7. Welsh 5% 8. Scouse 4% = Mancunian 4% 10. West Country 3% 11. Brummie 2% We probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between some of these but I'd be willling to bet they can tell who is from Liverpool and who is from Porstmouth.
There are as many different dialects of the British accent as there are American accents in the states. You can even tell the difference between Daniel Craig and Jason Statham. Statham is more blue-collar where Craig sounds more aristocratic. I get a kick out of some of these rugby guys who play like beasts and look dumb as a rock, but then when you hear them talk they sound like they have a PhD.I thnk the Aussie/NZ accent is a cross between a hard core Boston (Bahston) accent and a British one. The Aussies drop their R's like we do up here in New England. It's a shock not a shark.
Like any large city there is a huge diversity. Just go to NYC you'll think you're in Beijing. I always hear this about London (who was that author who wrote Londanistan?) yet I see no evidence of it whatsoever other than oil shieks owning some of the big soccer teams, yet ironically it's predominantly European players who are the bigger stars. Name any foreign player who is more famous or more well liked than Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, or Steven Gerrard. The Olympics certainly didn't hold back on being pure British. Look at the sport culture too. Again, very British in nature. And proudly so. There is no PC affirmative action crap on the Oxford or Cambridge crews. Whenever I read about or talk to British people, I don't see a dying culture, I see a proud nation. There is far more criticism of the Empire from those in the US than those who are British.
Just examine the way they handle their Muslim extremists with kid gloves.
Give me an example of this. I see them acting tougher on terrorism than we do sometimes.
I positively love the British accent and wish I could pull it off better (I usually end up sounding Australian instead). I too like British historians the best but they tend to use superlative words a little too much.And what does using British words have to do with cultural devestation? If anything, it preserves the culture.
