"Potentially problematic and certainly embarrassing video of the General Services Administration's infamous $820,000 Las Vegas conference has been obtained by The Huffington Post, showing well-dressed employees singing Frank Sinatra, downing margaritas and making light of lavish spending. Video of the 2010 party, provided by an administration official on Friday, shows GSA employees in colorful tuxedos, putting on magic shows and enjoying mock Vegas-style entertainment -- all in the name of team-building...".

It isn't a secret that Serbia is obsessed with joining the EU - this is a country that has had a psychopathic sense of itself that now wants to be seen as a normal member of a weird world. 

As the man suspected of overseeing the Srebrenica Massacre is imprisoned, an unanswered question keeps confusing me: Why does Serbia want to join the EU?

This is an organisation that is at it's knees bailing out its idiotic member countries. 

An organisation that is almost entirely dominated by France, Germany and the UK.

And an organisation that has no hesitancy welcoming a new member, like Poland, but then not giving it full membership privileges like free movement of people and labour. 

Yep, welcome to the party, hope you're ready to pick up the tab.

They were no more strong and pertinent than in Mexico where the question of the legalisation (or the decriminalisation) of cannabis is intimately linked to the burgeoning drug trade - by Sean Maguire . . read more
So it turns out that Osama, the world's most wanted outlaw, wasn't treated to a fair fight by his cowboy vanquishers. No siree. No ten paces at noon or nothing, a plain and simple cold blooded killin'. Seems kind of weird to me - by Sean Maguire . . read more

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -- Ronald Reagan (1986)
