Drogba inflicts pain on Liverpool 10:40am on 05 Oct 2009 I was at the game and yes, Terry was fantastic. However, there were two center-halves playing for Chelsea and both of them did amazing. Why does everyone ignore Carvalho? I thought he was just as brilliant as Terry yesterday.
Time to say goodbye 11:40am on 19 Aug 2009 Thank you for your blogs Justin, sorry you had to move back to the UK, although I hope you warm to it(not literally given our weather)again.

Best wishes
Farewell Sir Bobby 2:58pm on 03 Aug 2009 @ 21

Why do you assume he was comparing Mariner to R. Addlington? Perhaps he speaks of another? You concluded he was referring to the Gold medal winning Addlington, but why? The fact he mentioned Addlington-nose and you assume it is a) an insult and b) about the swimmer shows you have some form of prejudice yourself!

Chill out, you wouldn't be complaining if he was talking about Gary Lineker's ears would you?
Why America deserves three cheers 12:15pm on 17 Jul 2009 MarcusAureliusII - An inspiration for birth control

We need another blog post methinks.
Replacing Obama in the Senate 10:08am on 09 Jul 2009 "socially liberal Republican"

Surely a paradox Mr.Webb?

"Which is why Obama didn't want an election in the first place - a rather cowardly refusal to do the right thing it always seemed to me"

Let it not be said forever more that Mr.Webb is an Obama supporter!
'Obama is a Quaker' 4:22pm on 07 Jul 2009 #113

Not to mention extremely small. I'm sure that plays a part in it. More doctors per head perhaps?

"Europeans live longer than Americans"

Think that might be something to do with gun laws rather than medicinal care....

I jest.

Best of luck Mr.Webb!
Where is Obama? 4:11pm on 03 Jul 2009 O great, I think I just poseted a blank comment somehow. Apologies moderators please delete post #187!

#182

"President Obama's message is entirely different, quintessentially American, and at its core the same as President Bush's"

Surely thats the kind of thing you want to hear?

"It says we can live as well as we do now and better but to do that, we will have to be smarter and more inventive. We will have to find new and better ways to achieve higher standards of living for more people. This is a traditional American perspective."

I have to admit, I'm not American but that's the kind of philosophy I hold. Technological and scientific improvements mean that we can maintain a good lifestyle. To say that it is only an American view point I tihnk is wrong, because I think a lot of people around the world see the benefits of innovation. The only problem is that this is only ever a long term solution.

"The message of top down tax the rich until everyone lives at the lowest common denominator and squelch individual initiative and inventiveness by robbing its rewards through taxes and other disincentives is a European message Americans reject entirely"

I think you are exaggerating there, the rich are still rich even with a higher tax, because proportionately they are still better off. That will never change. Everyone hates taxes, for sure, but they are as inevitable as death, to misquote whoever said something along those lines. Cheney will never loose his wealth by tax, Michael Jackson never lost his wealth from high tax. Tax will never stop rich people getting richer or sustaining their wealth.

"more taxes he promised he would not impose when he ran for office."

I seem ot recall he said he would impose taxes, but on the higher earners?

"We do not like being taxed by government and as Californians are deomonstrating once again (that's what prop 13 was about) there is a limit to what they will put up with"

Well to be fair in CA they went overboard with spending. It was inevitable taxes would have to increase. They might not like it but they have to grit their teeth and deal with it.

"I think that's one overlooked reason Republicans lost this last election, overspending the government's budget. They forgot what it means to be conservative and responsible. "

I agree with you on that, apart from the overlooked bit. I'd say the economic recession and budgetary mis-management was the second biggest reason that the republicans lost out. First was Palin, of course!

Owen worth Man Utd gamble 10:07am on 03 Jul 2009 The problem I see with this move is that I don't see Owen being able to partner anyone up front other than Rooney. Imagine if Berbatov an Owen were together? I can't see them two working at all well.
