    3. I hear that he wants to raise taxes in 'White Neighbourhoods'. I don't think he should be bringing 'race' into his plans.

  13. He sure has 'hottie' looks as well as making most appealing promises. As long as he holds onto the latter I'll cheer him on - and keeping the former would be v.nice too.

    So - finally it looks as if the ship may be turning back to heart and inclusivity, and turning back for the better; to finally have signs of hope and positivity for America at this moment has to be a good sign. 24 hours may be a long time in politics, but if nothing else these Democrat victories are signs of the real heart of America starting to show itself again. Fingers crossed for something better than now.

    1. Didn't know that about his mum (Yes, I saw 'Salaam Bombay' on the 'big screen' and liked it a lot). Adds to his being most 'interesting'.

  18. OMG my inner child and my adult self are celebrating the democrats' wins! We have hope for the first time since last year, that this SHITHOLE of a government will be able to recover from the ransacking of our values and beliefs by the spurned toddlers with power. I am more than cautiously optimistic.

    Please, please cite examples of socialism working. Mandana’s family is wealthy, his wife’s family has even more money. People!

    2. Canada is a constitutional monarchy with universal healthcare. Hardly socialist.
