Jedan guverner ne čini...

Britanski časopis "The Banker", čiji je izdavač „Financial Times“, proglasio je guvernera HNB Rohatinskog najboljim regionalnim i najboljim svjetskim centralnim bankarom. Hrvatski Greenspan vukao je u krizi (kojoj je uvelike kumovao i spomenuti Mr. G.) poteze koje sad slijede i mnoge velike zemlje.

Kad već ne znamo gdje nam je glava, barem znamo gdje su nam pare.

Bušmani

Vijest kojoj se svijet nada: tata Bush je najavio da priprema i drugog sina, Jeba, za predsjedničkog kandidata. Sada nije pravi trenutak da se o tome govori, rekao je Žbun senior, ali takve su nam namjere.
Još jedan Bush i svijet je na konju. Dok ne stigne Jeb, evo s interneta nekoliko juniorovih bušizama:

— “I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.” — September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.

— “Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?” — January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.

— “They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the commander in chief, too.” — Sept. 26, 2001, in Langley, Va. Bush was referring to the terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.

— “There’s no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.” — Oct. 4, 2001, in Washington. Bush was remarking on a back-to-work plan after the terrorist attacks.

— “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” — Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.

— “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” — Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.


— “Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.” — Sept. 6, 2004, at a rally in Poplar Bluff, Mo.

— “The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there’s jobs at the machine-making place.” — May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.

— “I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office.” — June 26, 2008, during a Rose Garden news briefing.

— “Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people.” — July 4, 2008 in Virginia.
