I'd definitely have to at least start off sober going there for a few beers, otherwise it might take the cab driver hours to understand my pronunciation of Woolloomooloo.

I bet a lot of drunks do end up there after trying to say where they really want to go and it coming out as "womalolalloloo"

So if the Germans hadn't sunk those two US ships and forced the USA into The Great War, we wouldn't have the problems with the debt ceiling today.

I blame the Germans.

How about passing the budget before moving on to the deficit cap?

It may just be the British press bias but trying to use the annual budget to reverse a policy passed by the same democratically elected bodies seems a little anti-democratic to me.

Edit: With the gerrymandering that ensures Republican control of the house and demographics that pretty much ensure a Democrat senate there does not seem to be an obvious way out of the impass.

It was of course almost 2 years between the sinking of the Lusitania (May 1915) and the USA entering the war (April 1917).

Like all great ships it was registered in Liverpool.

Are you sure that you are not taking a jocular post (and yourself) a tad too seriously :T

No he's just thirsty.

When all you have is virtual money, you have to take every opportunity possible to spend it.

I blame the Germans.

That may have been when the Americans learned about debt control.

But they also learned about punctuality.

Having been 3 years "late" for WW1, and then about 2 years late for WW2, they vowed never to be late for a war again. Instead, they have decided to be there at the beginning. Iraq... Afghanistan....

Where next?

I instead blame the elite of freemasons and mega-rich Anglo-Saxons from the UK and USA, many of them bankers, who really did plan world war one, and by consequence, world war two.
Cecil Rhodes, Lord Alfred Milner, Nathan Rothschild, and many others. These are the megalomaniacs behind much of the misery of the 20th century. They plotted the destruction of Germany as early as the 1890s because it was too much of an industrial competitor and a threat to the dominance of the English speaking peoples and all that rubbish. After WW1 the same group of elitist bankers and politicians helped to finance the genocidal Soviet Union to act as a threat against a German revival. Then they helped to finance Hitler, that other maniac, so that there would be another world war and Germany finally destroyed like Carthage.

Don't forget the shape shifting lizards, they had enormous influence too.
