US PRESIDENT BARACK Obama took a sly dig at critics of his recently-announced immigration reforms today, as he oversaw the traditional White House turkey-pardoning ceremony.
“I am here to announce what I’m sure will be the most talked-about executive action this month,” he said, to laughs from the crowd present.
“Today I am taking an action fully within my legal authority — the same kind of action taken by Democrat and Republican presidents before me — to spare the lives of two turkeys, Mac and Cheese, from a terrible and delicious fate.”
The two fortunate birds are off to live out their days at a Virginia estate with “10,000 acres of roaming space”.
Napoleon was actually average height for a man of his height. It was British propaganda that falsly alleged he was short.
He was probably an average age for a man of his age too!
Heard that the other day when abusing a mate.. Really took the fun out of it.. Ha
Lord Nelson was a short arse though.
*man of his time. Oops.
How different would the world be if Napoleon had won and defeated the Rothschild dynasty.
Rothschild still one of the biggest players in the world.
Derek, blaming the worlds problems on one family?
Over more than two centuries, the Rothschild family has frequently been the subject of conspiracy theories. These theories take differing forms, such as claiming that the family controls the world’s wealth and financial institutions, or encouraged or discouraged wars between governments. Discussing this and similar views, the historian Niall Ferguson wrote, “As we have seen, however, wars tended to hit the price of existing bonds by increasing the risk that a debtor state would fail to meet its interest payments in the event of defeat and losses of territory. By the middle of the 19th century, the Rothschilds had evolved from traders into fund managers, carefully tending to their own vast portfolio of government bonds. Now having made their money, they stood to lose more than they gained from conflict. The Rothschilds had decided the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars by putting their financial weight behind Britain. Now they would sit on the sidelines.”

A butcher, defeated by an Irishman.
He unwillingly left his willy to a Corsican priest and it now belongs to a lady in New Jersey who wants over $100,000 for it.
