The Irish Banking Crisis simply explained...
Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day...
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news The Donkey's died.'
Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'
Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'
Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'
Paddy said, 'I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won.
So I gave him his two pounds back.'
Paddy now works for Anglo Irish Bank.

Bipartisanship!
Barack Obama helped elect 255 Democrats to the House in 2008. This year, he helped elect 240 Republicans to the House. Now that’s bipartisanship.

Bananas.................from Rico
Yeah, this is surely "change" and you can 'believe' in it!!!
Food stamps now go to 42.9 million people. Put another way, one-in-six people cannot eat without food stamps.
The percentage of people who have jobs is at a "historic" low.
No jobs = no bananas.
This is what the communist-progressives meant by "transforming" America...transforming it into a banana republic, just without any bananas (save for the monkeys in Congress and their friends, of course)!!
- How does the United Banana States of America" sound to you?
Sing-along with the chorus now (Berry-Nancy-Harry, et al):
"But YES, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today."

Sir Philip Green
London, England
A comment about this post
All these Lefties really don’t get it do they? Like him or loathe him, Philip Green creates jobs with his use of money, makes profits which are then re-invested to create more jobs. Agreed, he makes his whack out of his business as well, but why shouldn’t he? he’s the one risking his own money and that of his investors.
What have the Leftie twats that whinge and sneer on this site ever done for Britain’s economy except bollocks it up for every one else? Lefties NEVER understand business. They think money anyone else earns is for the state to use as it pleases, usually wasting it on a massive scale. It’s easy to fritter away when you’ve never actually worked for it.
F**king Left Wingers should NEVER be allowed anywhere near any Treasury, whether it be in Whitehall or in Local Government.
I don’t know why we even bther to reply to these ignorant bastards. The massive chips on both shoulders and their political bigotry exclude them from rational argument.
Do some Americans think the same about Democrats?
