Dear widdle world...
Sep. 15th, 2006 08:56 pmDear Norwegian government,
when I voted for the "red-green alternative", I wasn't really expecting too much difference from the conservative lot and indeed, I've been right. And I wasn't expecting you to fulfill all your promises before the election, as no one ever do. But fuck you, you said you'd raise the minimum level on tax when we import from 200 NOK to 1000 NOK and you BETTER DAMN WELL DO IT ALREADY. You realise when I order DVD boxsets from abroad I often have to pay more in fees than I do in tax and for the boxset itself because getting it through customs is a tiresome inane process? These are minor purchases. Our country is already effing rich. You can afford to fulfill this particular promise and raise the limit. YOU PROMISED WHINE WHINE WHINE.
Your disgruntled voter,

Dear Norwegian government II,
AWESOME
I love the fact that Norway could actually buy Manhatten. Could we buy all of Trump's holdings for nefarious socialistic purposes, please?
Much amusement,

Dear "glowinginjesus",
who the hell are you and why are you telling me you've changed your e-mail and then quoting the Bible at me? You can't know me too well, surely.

Dear Doctor Who fandom,
for all the hate, you're still like a cute little lovable puppy. Only you do bite a lot of shoes and drool all over the carpets. And try not to dig up all the buried skeletons, yeah?

Dear Bush,
you want to 'redefine' the *Geneva Convention*? Dude, even people of your own party is telling you it's such a bad, bad idea. You do realise that if people could just redefine that one on political whims, the convention is pretty much nul and void? There are always incovenient parts in an international treaty. You being so fond of democracy and all - those things aren't at work just at the national level, you know. Sometimes, even your country has to bow to an international majority. Yeah. It's a bitch like that, democracy and international cooperation.
I'm looking at you too, Norway. Actually, I think I'm looking at every bloody country out there.
Much disgust,

Dear certain Aussie Idiots,

Date: 2006-09-15 11:46 pm (UTC)you could accidentally lose them while on holiday in the Australian desert? Your country would be ever so gratetful, I am sure. Might even not vote for the Tories come election. (And you don't want the Tories back with all their kinky sex. Um. I think. Do you?) Or those Lib Dems, which I'm not sure what stand for, but that's okay, because they don't seem to either.
Hmm. Well, in the name of Labour brother- and sisterhood, you may come. As long as you don't bring George. There are limits to solidarity and all.

any use for a lackey who isn't in powertime for fjord swimming.Yours in swimwear,

That so needs to be put in an icon. It seems like most of the world is batshit insane. Although Norway should buy Manhattan, well Donald Trumps investments anyway, I'm fed up of golf courses.

I mean, I wouldn't know the current leader of the Democrats if I bumped into them in a dark alley, and when it comes to the Greens, I'm just hoping they're going to bother with fielding a candidate or two. This carries on for much longer, I'm going to wind up having to vote for the Citizen's Electoral Lobby, and they're a bunch of wingnuts.

Dear Dubya,
Man, you're even starting to scare the fundies. And giving a ranty, whiny, "If you don't do it my way, I won't interrogate the pris'ners at all!" schpiel on CNN is not going to convince John McCain, a former POW--who annoys me at times but at least doesn't make me want to vomit--to let you chuck the Geneva Convention out the window with your pity little rewrite solely on your word of "Have I ever lied to ya'll folks there?"
Jon Stewart got it right--nothing is more scary than George W. Bush saying, "Trust me."

Dear Norway,
You have an enourmous amount of oil money, yet your government will not use anything but the interest, even to build new roads, and your taxes and so on are some of the highest in the world. I have severely underfunded schools, but my government (and the governments of my states) have a habit of using any over-budget money to cut taxes, even if debts are outstanding. Do you suppose that there are any governments which have managed to find a happy medium?
Wistfully,
America
