Supreme executive power, eh?

Interesting.

I'm keen to see how all that works out.

The key is, that Sean knows it all, and certainly better than anyone else. Otherwise this system would fall flat on its face.

Why should alleging Cage's non-importance be so important to Asia?

The put on of the century is that this thread is still going.

The Put-On of the Century, or the Asia Rantatorium: I thought we had a brand new thread!   :laugh:

Daniel Asia: my wife has a theory about men named "Daniel" having a tendency, in general, to be Peter Pans, pueri aeterni, who need a good smack in the face (metaphorically, or...maybe an actual one) to get them to grow up!

More than once has the theory been proven true!   ;D

Now, [b} Leo[/b]! You're being unfair to Daniel Defoe & Daniel Webster ...  ;D

Heh-heh!  And unfair to the "original" Daniel in the Bible!  0:)   That's why I was careful to include "tendency" and "in general" !   ;)

Sammy, James I put the boot in where it's due and give credit where it's due; I've visited the US on seven occasions and I basically like it of course.

What a hoot!  You're giving presentations on American culture based on a few visits to our fine nation.  Don't you see anything wrong with this picture?

It's up there with the talk he was asked to do on Le marteau.  (Why should back-of-the-envelope-level knowledge be any obstacle to speaking in front of a group of saps people?)

Over here Americans are given British culture to do and Britons are given American culture- critical distance and all that...
