How do you define optimism?

I went to the ATM this morning and it said "insufficient funds".
I'm wondering is it them or me?

Government unveils 'Big Brother' plan: Now they want to snoop on every phone call, email and text message. What with. They cannot afford it.
US troops 'to leave Iraq in three years'. Pity so many will be 'left behind'. Let's hope Iraq can look after itself.
John Prescott: 'Cherie Blair is a snob'. That's the only thing he called her that can be printed.

Typical Socialist Solution.....
...nationalising an industry (or a bank) has never worked in the past. What makes him think it will work now.
Who will be the new Ghostbuster?
Rumour has it the Bill Murray wants a female to join the team in 'Ghostbusters 3'. any suggestions?
Somewhere in the Gulf....
In addition to communicating with the local air traffic control facility, aircraft are required to give the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute "heads up" that they will be transiting Iranian airspace. This is a common procedure for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder code, type aircraft, and points of origin and destination.
This from a guy who overheard this conversation on the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai. The conversation went something like this...
Air Defense Radar: "Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself."
Aircraft: "This a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace."
Air Defense Radar: "You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch an interceptor aircraft!"
Aircraft: "This is a United States Marine fighter. Send 'em up!"
Air Defense Radar: (no response ... total silence) and of course, no interceptor...............

Story of the Day...
Norfolk Police refuse to investigate one in four crimes because they are "unsolvable". That's if they bother to turn up at all. Bunch of useless fools.

NHS trust to buy £400,000 yacht. Now that is creative budgeting!
NHS trust spends £12,000 treating staff privately. Private Healthcare should be made tax deductable.
10,000 jobs go as crunch hits the public sector. The public sector especially Whitehall needs to lose 500,000 jobs, only then will it have a chance of being efficient and properly run. We do not need bureaucrats.
Royal Navy will tackle pirate scourge. What with? The Royal Navy is half the size it should be.
Zimbabwe riot police use violence to quell fresh protests. We either intervene or let millions suffer and die.
