Whenever the deep thinkers of the Republican establishment glance at
their bulging clown car of presidential hopefuls — with out-there Dr.
Ben Carson, exorcist Bobby Jindal, loudmouth Chris Christie and
bankruptcy expert Donald Trump jammed against Sens. Rand Paul and Ted
Cruz, to name a few — they inevitably start chattering about “Jeb Bush.”

Never mind that his father was a one-term wonder of no great distinction
or that his brother is already a serious contender, in the eyes of
historians, for worst president of the past 100 years. And never mind
that on the issues most controversial among party activists —
immigration and Common Core educational standards — he is an accursed
“moderate.”

Lacking any especially attractive alternative, powerful Republicans are
pushing Bush to run in 2016. And he seems to be on the cusp of a
decision. Besides, more than a few Democrats agree that Bush, however
damaged his family brand, would be the most formidable candidate
available to the GOP. They, too, whisper about him as “the only one who
could beat Hillary Clinton.”

I guess we're like France in that respect! OTOH, the Maoris will press
their foreheads and tips of their noses together and share a breath.
That's kind of cool.

What you probably don't know is that eBay won't sell a lot of stuff to
Hawaii or Alaska. I have no idea why. We get treated like we're Nigerians!

For example...

NYC to Lagos (Nigeria): 5,295 miles
NYC to Honolulu: 4,962 miles

.... might have something to do with it...

Oh look, someone else being told what they can call things. Is this going
to be the next Big Thing around here?

It is not normal for an island to call a large land to which it is not
attached, 'The Mainland'? I am beginning to think some people will use
ANYTHING to bully others into doing things the way THEY like. Ridiculous!!
It really is getting out of hand. Maybe they should get a taste of it.

It's the latest craze - let's screw Hawaii and Alaska. It's like
everybody is jumping on the bandwagon on this one. I've even had sellers
in China refusing sales to us poor islanders. That's the breaks.

You are correct - this is a pretty common thing that humans tend to do.
Somebody that lives on the mainland probably wouldn't grasp the concept.
We call the largest island in this chain of islands the "big island." We
call the island we're on the "rock." That big land mass that's East of
us the "mainland." It all seems so natural...

You're just hung up on bullies. Why don't you post about what you've
cooked rather than worry about what someone else says to others?

Probably shipping costs or arrangements. We get the same thing from
the rest of the UK (even affects mainland Scotland in the north, but
especially islands like mine); many businesses just don't want the
hassle of distant customers. My post code (and probably Sheila V's)
often features in a little list of areas we don't serve.

More fool them; more efficient businesses who make a point of serving
the islands, are getting all their customers.

Bad enough when some bozo on the UK mainland doesn't realise UK
islands have ferries and delivery services; or witters they would "have
to pay air freight" It makes me really mad when they try to slap a "long
distance" delivery surcharge on something small enough to be posted;
within the UK postal charges are the same in all areas regardless of
distance.

Yes - IV 27. It covers a vast area, including Inverness, which has a
railhead, an international airport, a seaport, and modern roads.

People in Thurso have it bad, too - for some odd reason they have a
Kirkwall postcode, so are assumed to be on an island.

Nowt so good as being a Yorkshire lass yannow, but the Scots thing is a

You seem to be very au fait with my part of the world, Greg. What is your

I've always presumed it was because of the cost of shipping.

I like the olives too. If you break the feta small enough it becomes
part of the dressing. I don't know if that would be more acceptable
to you.

Don't feel bad, Hawaii's economy is still heavily agri based, can't
drive into California without passing through the Agri inspection
stations.

We are away in our holiday caravan atm and the weather is really hot. I had
brought ham in my wee freezer and pork pie, so I made a potato salad,
chopped cucumber, wee plum tomatoes, etc. Ice cream to follow and several
glasses of dry white wine! Perfect

Living in Hawaii I'd think you'd know... they can't afford any six
legged hitch hikers, and Alaska's wild life has to be protected from
diseases... many vermin arrive in foods and packaging materials.

Donald Trump: “Only An Idiot Opposes The Confederate Flag”


Real Estate Tycoon and business man, Donald Trump, announced via Twitter
that he supported the Confederate Flag. “Only an idiot opposes the
Confederate Flag” read Trump’s tweet. Trump continued to rant stating
that the flag is apart of everyone’s heritage and should fly on every
government building in the south. “Schools, churches, post offices
should all be allowed to proudly fly the Confederate Flag. There’s
nothing racist about it. Black people are acting as if its a KFC flag”
says Trump. The Confederate Flag has been the center of debate following
the racially-motivated church shhoting masacre in South Carolina. It has
been proposed to make flying the Confederate flag illegal at state and
federal buildings.

The logical thing would be to make the shipping charges a little higher
for A&H. I've seen this before. That's OK with with me. The new trend is
no sales to our rock under any circumstances. Excluding some citizens of
the United States is no way to treat us red-blooded Americans. This
makes about as much sense as refusing to sell to people in Montana.
OTOH, I can understand not selling to Montana. Hee hee.
