So, why would Mr. Zamora be of any interest to them? It appears to be a case of mistaken identity. The dealership told him the OFAC flag listed him as Colombian. He’s never even stepped foot in Columbia. When WFAA looked into OFAC’s listings, they saw a Jose Hernan Zamora listed and speculate he’s the real person of interest. As you’ll recall, Mr. Zamora’s middle name isn’t “Hernan,†it’s “Luis.†Yup, thought it'd be something like that... rOZZ Music Pictures |

Wrong. You said it yourself: "The powers of the Queen and the Governor-General are limited by constitutional constraints". She does what she is told. BY LAW. And the G-G usually does it on her behalf. Recent example here in Canuckistan: A few years back the PM prorogued Parliament to let some seedy little scandal involving government members blow over. (Without proroguing, shutting down requires agreement from all sitting parties.) The process is - the PM "requests" the G-G to prorogue, then the G-G declares Parliament shut down for x days. The G-G of the day objected to this on moral grounds (as did many Canadians) and sent off to Buckingham Palace for further instructions. She was still waiting for a reply when the PM (and his lawyers) pointed out that BY LAW the G-G's only options were prorogue or resign. (A replacement G-G is named by the PM in the event of resignation, and BY LAW must be accepted by the Crown.) Parliament was shut down, without any peep from old Liz. Or from any of her numerous kin that the UK so kindly keeps fed and watered on our behalf. If you want any of the Commonwealth countries to drop the Queen in a hurry, just have her try to interfere in local affairs. |

Old Liz is my Queen too Chris. By my allowance. BY LAW she has the options of following the Canadian Constitution in Canada affairs, or resigning. She gets to keep her UK gig if she resigns, I believe. I wish she could give old Stevie boy the heave ho. It is not that easy. And you may not believe this, but most of my friends and relatives consider me a "staunch monarchist". At least by Canadian standards. |

Now this has to take the cake for ridiculous "fringe benefits". Cops firing blanks in sex exemption debate POLICE in Hawaii are facing the prospect of losing an exemption that allows them to have sex with prostitutes while on the job. Cheers. |

I just find that ridiculous Chris that cops have to have sex with the prostitutes 1st before they can book them for soliciting. What's the world coming to. Cheers. |

I suppose it depends on what you're parking I guess. Cheers. |

I just find that ridiculous Chris that cops have to have sex with the prostitutes 1st before they can book them for soliciting. And there was me thinking, they got this place so they could have an unpolluted mountain top view of the night sky. |

I just find that ridiculous Chris that cops have to have sex with the prostitutes 1st before they can book them for soliciting...... Second verse of the "Gendarmes Duet" Famie/Offenbach "Sometimes our duty's extramural Then little butterflies we chase We like to gamble in things rural Commune with nature face to face Unto our beat then back returning Refreshed by nature's holy charm We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes." This is nothing new [Edit] Malcolm Mc Eachern & Harold Williams - Gendarmes duet [/edit] :D T.A. |

Look, lets all be be totally honest here. There was only one reason that the USA annexed Hawaii, and that was to stop all the typical Yank tourists from cluttering up the American mainland. FAKE, that is Ireland. Give it a break aka_s. http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/top-ten-ways-to-pass-as-irish-tips-for-tourists-in-ireland-171511571-237753811.html |

Gilbert & Sullivan and Offenbach were great competitors in the world of comic operettas in the late 1800's T.A. |

I just find that ridiculous Chris that cops have to have sex with the prostitutes 1st before they can book them for soliciting. Sounds to me like they have a really good union. |

No 13 is the only one worth noting, however, they forgot one that should be in that list... Shirley Bassey. |
