Only if the country that killed squiggly ends in "m" ... no, wait.

My grandfather was a former alcoholic who drank his way through the great depression and ww2. When I was a kid I used to ask him how much he had drank in his life, and he would always reply, "enough to float this house...."

We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" They're going "You can't claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!" "Do you have a flag ? "What? We don't need a flag, this is our home, you bastards" "No flag, No Country, You can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!...and I'm backing it up with this gun, that was lent to me from the National Rifle Association." --Eddie Izzard

Downloaded music, yes. Turned around and sold what they downloaded, no.

The Yoda touch was nice....

The primary purpose of laws is to either ... expand the public sector or else to advantage one group in the private sector at the expense of another group so less laws is automatically better for the economy.

Not according to Lee Hamilton:

"[the] historic mission of Congress has been to maintain freedom...."

I.e., through bills passed into law. It's mission is simple. It's the people in there that have mucked it up ... well, and ours for putting them there....

I don't think most folks blamed the democrats for a bad economy, so much as they didn't understand why the democrats seemed focused on something that _wasn't_ the economy -- health care reform. Sure, health care needed reforming, but working on that -- while people are losing jobs, houses, can't buy their kids clothes or worry about getting them to school, and hell, just supporting their family period -- instead of working on the economy (jobs!), turned people off to the dems.

If we are under eminent attack, if there is a foreign power poised to take over the globe (i.e., ww2) then that trumps all else. Otherwise, people want/need jobs. Jobs is #1 without a _real_ foreign conflict (and yes, the conflicts over the past decade have not been real). So, each time bill the factory worker who lost his job turns on his radio or tv, it's been about healthcare for the past 2 years. It just doesn't compute to bill. "Healthcare? Wtf are these guys thinking? I have no job!!!"

And I don't know how many of you have visited such towns as Monroe, MI, lately, but it's sad, sad, sad. There's no jobs, no factories, closed-down plants, and every house a street is like this: foreclosed, retired, unemployeed, foreclose, foreclose, foreclosed, etc. You're hard-pressed to find someone on a street with an actual paying job. There's entire, brand new condo complexes -- taking up 2, 3 and 4 blocks -- all vacant.

So, in light of the jobs problem (aka, economy), all this work on healthcare is like a guy drowning, begging you to help and you going, "ok, but first, put your foot up out of the water ... your shoes untied...."

This'll just make me stop going to the movie theater, cuz if I feel like they're watching me pour rum into my diet coke, in order to tolerate their bad movies, then I just ain't goin. And I'm pretty sure the flare from my pipe will be picked up by these cameras too....

Concur. Boobs are cheap, more easily compilable, less guess work and very good for bribery, extortion and not to bad to maintain by comparison. Since intelligence has failed, boobs are the only option....

Or find it very grindly....
