Must be.Â* "Hail to the Chief" is played wherever he speaks.






Are you trying to make Fat Harry weep like a snowflake?



Just paying respect to *his* president.




Fat Harry is so mad at his president that he would defect to a

My now-retired Norwegian buddy, who worked 20 years in the oil
drilling and production business and as a union rep and who was
retrained as a teacher at government expense after suffering a serious
work-related injury, just sent me an email telling me his twin
grandkids are starting their college careers soon at the Norwegian
Institute of Science and Technology, tuition-free.

Perhaps you don't know any more about those Nordic countries than you
do about our govenment here. Here's a bit from Wiki:

The Nordic model (also called Nordic capitalism or Nordic social
democracy)refers to the economic and social policies common to the
Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands
and Sweden). This includes a combination of free market capitalism
with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the
national level with a high percentage of workers belonging to a labour
union; and state provision of free education and free healthcare as
well as generous, guaranteed pension payments for retirees funded by
taxation.

Although there are significant differences among the Nordic countries,
they all share some common traits. These include support for a
"universalist" welfare state aimed specifically at enhancing
individual autonomy and promoting social mobility; a corporatist
system involving a tripartite arrangement where representatives of
labor and employers negotiate wages and labor market policy mediated
by the government;and a commitment to widespread private ownership,
free markets and free trade.

The country has the fourth-highest per capita income in the world on
the World Bank and IMF lists. On the CIA's GDP (PPP) per capita list
(2015 estimate) which includes autonomous territories and regions,
Norway ranks as number eleven. It has the world's largest sovereign
wealth fund, with a value of USD 1 trillion. Norway has had the
highest Human Development Index ranking in the world since 2009, a
position also held previously between 2001 and 2006. It also has the
highest inequality-adjusted ranking. Norway ranks first on the World
Happiness Report,the OECD Better Life Index, the Index of Public
Integrity, and the Democracy Index. Norway also has one of the lowest
crime rates in the world.

My buddy has a nice house, a good pension, and top of the line health
care. 21st Century socialism works nicely.



You should apply for asylum in Norway however take note that their
standards for permanent residence have been tightened.




Yeah, I know how it grates on you righties that other countries are
doing a lot better than the dis-United States...
