The grand opening of "Those Wacky Americans" was met with mixed reviews at the newest Madam Tussauds in Beijing ....
racial profiling is real. i was the NCOIC of a honor guard detail while in the Army going to new mexico. upon arriving at our hotel to meet the guide for the area, 5 of us got off our bus dressed in civilian attire, 4 blacks 1 white. when our guide arrived (he was white), he immediatly walked up to the white guy and start addressing him as our Lieutenant assuming he was in charge. while he was talking to him giving him instructions, we all just looked at each other. i allowed him to talk for a few seconds and then told him that the guy he was talking to was not our lieutenant but a private. the lowest ranking member of our detail.
Hey look at my Warrior Two pose.
Geithner shows conservatives that he really does have a leg to stand on
I told him if he can keep that pose for five minutes we'll give him another $80 billion.

So Anderson, please, take the picture for the humorous part of your show!

Well he has the balanced part down. Now as for the budget...
Mr. Qishan ... wait!
Damn! I forgot my wallet.
I can’t remember the last time I felt this way. My heart is soaring!
