I&#039;m not surprised with that soundbite perspective of yours, Baxxter. It&#039;s hard to argue when you know very little. Poor Baxxter.

As for Maltafly, did you know that within just two months after launching in September 2002 it overtook the Times of Malta in world ranking at 20 thousandth?

How&#039;s your site doing, Baxxter? Has it reached 5 millionth yet?

Spain&#039;s bank bailout is nothing compared to the sovereign bailout that&#039;s coming shortly. 

Gonzi should be preparing the half a billion euros he&#039;s pledged to the ESM bailout fund. And since, as Alfred Mifsud reminded us recently, the people have lots of money, we can sponge what&#039;s left of it and forget about local investment. 

Let&#039;s have more debt, for debt is the way forward. The EU told us so. We must raise our debt levels so we can attain European levels, for, as Barroso himself said two weeks ago, this will be a federation where the debt burden is shared by all eurozone citizens.

Ahleb, Guz! The natives know not what&#039;s coming their way.]]></description>

I think Obama is a bloody fraud and the worst sort of demagogue. But Romney&#039;s total and complete subservience to Israeli policy on Iran and other imagined world perils make him even worse. I&#039;d vote for Obama.

You of course, will answer that I should vote for the great Karma of Non-Existent Fist In The Air Age of Aquarius Harmony.

Apart from my being a death-deserving stain, Baxxter, have you any opinion about Obama, or does it coincide with Joseph&#039;s?]]></description>

Your loss, A. Charles. 

Although I cannot guess how you managed to spot the fact-twisting without reading it, I&#039;d advise you to substantiate your allegations whenever you can. Otherwise we&#039;d think you&#039;re another hollow Baxxter, who&#039;s long proved himself by revealing nothing but multi-layered frustration.]]></description>

The government in Italy WAS Socialist, Berlusconi&#039;s party was made of survivors of Craxi&#039;s PSI, wrecked by the corruption scandals during Tangentopoli. 

His populism along with the perpetuation of incestuous capitalism reduced Italy to an economic no-go area.]]></description>

Spain is sill reeling from the disastrous state of affairs left over after two terms under Zapatero.

Apart from his looks there was nothing good about him.

In Italy, you are perfectly right, the government was far from Socialist.

However you must agree that Berlusconi was otherwise occupied.]]></description>

You mean they are all John Prescotts.

The British socialist par excellence and Tony Blair&#039;s deputy prime minister.

While still in opposition he was known as two-jag Prescott.  He had one for himself and one for his wife, each costing over 50000 GBP. 

When in government he spent most of his time screwing his secretary in his office and at Chequers.

The John Prescotts in Malta are notorious.]]></description>
