George W Bush
The world is a strange place sometimes. And that’s the box we’ll put the alleged friendship between George W Bush and the Dalai Lama.
What in the world could these to have to say to each other? Or perhaps that’s the point. Buddhists are very forgiving.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the Tibetan leader told American news network CNN while he did not admire all of Bush’s Middle East policies, overall he found him a nice man.
“I love President Bush ... as a human being. Not as a president of America. Some of his policies may not be very successful. But as a person, as a human being, very nice person. I love him.”
Awww. Who are among your strangest friends?
George W Bush won a second term as President of United States, today in 2004.
And it’s Wednesday at The Punch. What’s on your mind? Share it here.

Welcome to Sunday at The Punch
George W Bush declared the beginning of the “War on Terror” on this day in 2001. BBC World News reported his message also included a warning to the people of the United States to be “patient” and that “any action could be a monumental struggle”. Got something to say? Share it here.

Can’t agree Helen. As ugly as war is, letting psycopaths plunder to the detriment of their own people and the world is uglier. Read more »

Imagine for a second that you had mastered the impersonation of some forgotten 1960s cartoon character - let’s say, for argument’s sake, it’s Elmer Fudd.
You try it out on your girlfriend, and she cracks up. She begs you to talk to her with your new voice all the time, even during the most intimate moments. For some reason, this seems to make her love you more.
After a few days of this, she cajoles you into ordering a meal at a restaurant using your cartoon voice, so you order the “woast wamb” for yourself and the “wemon chicken wiv wentiws” for her.
The waiter thinks it’s hilarious. You spend the rest of the evening receiving special treatment and leave without having to pay the bill.
At work, your colleagues stop by your desk just to hear you say, “my secwetawy is witing a wetter”.
Even a cop lets you off a speeding fine when you tell him, “But officer, I was wacing to catch a wascawy wabbit!”
Eventually you talk like Fudd all day.

Logic_Will_Prevail, as long as you’re on News Limited forums, you will indeed see a lot of tired Republican talking points - it’s as predictable as hearing talk of hemlines in Fashion week! Try clicking further afield and you’ll find some less biased discussion. Read more »
