I wonder what Hairy, Nom=de-Plump, et al will post to justify the bow.
Don't really care since they are banished from my computer.


It must be nice to be totally happy with being ignorant of foreign
customs, where you can criticize Obama for not being as ignorant as you are.

Typical, unfortunately.

Please tell me how someone, anyone earns the honor of me showing them
subservience.

I bow to no man, or woman (Plum).
I'm not sure but isn't it the tradition at the opening ceremonies that
the American flag is not lowered when passing the host leader? I
wonder if obama will order the flag lowered?
