Jan 20th, 2015 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
I expect they could have done without a World Cup and Olympics to pay for too.

I saw this coming a year ago.....uncontrolled Government spending, as if the party would never end, and now they are going to tighten their belts, around the necks of the ignorant bastards that put them there for another 4 years....tough titty !

Jan 21st, 2015 - 03:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Welcome back, had noticed your absence. News from VZ gets worse every day. And I, despite the shite, am doing OK !
We get a bit of news here and there on the TV regarding the Olympics (Rio, 2016), and although the infrastructure is still not all ready, seems to be in a better state of readiness than Brazil was for the World Cup. One hears the usual bs from the politicians (from Rio), being interviewed infront of a half-finished structure, trying to convince everyone that everything is going according to 'plan'....but that is just the problem, as 'planning' is not their strong point.
thanks Jack B.

Brasshole's first return from treatments and he can't read what people are talking about. Apparently they gave him talking points of the day, only he does not know when to appropriately insert them.

Jan 26th, 2015 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0what - doesn't really - surprise me, is that after his initial rant he never comes back to contest the criticism of his crazy ideas....but this, I suppose, would require him to have a brain...
