You may be right. Your alternative, please. Or maybe they're just better at appearing so. Try to look at it this way - illegal immigrants often pay Social Security taxes for benefits they'll never receive. An I'll say it again - we don't have a ton of people lining up to do the jobs illegal immigrants do in this country. If there was not an economic benefit to be derived from them, which we ALL see in lower prices for goods and services, they would not be here.

Hey, at least Hillary tried to do something about health care. She may even try again.

That's what Lucy Mercer used to call him, I am told.

Stock up on the Prozac, then, my friend. Nominations are much more a function of the effectiveness of a candidate's machine than anything else. To be honest, I don't really care Hillary's full of shit. All politicians are full of shit, and if I can be honest, all of us are full of shit to one degree or another. To be even more honest, if Obama's or Kucinich's name shows up on the Democratic line, they'll get my vote. Why? I'll tell you why. Republicanism has nothing for me. I'm not rich, I like gay people, I am unmoved by most displays of shallow patriotism, I believe a woman's uterus and wh

Dr. Edward Morbius: In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the meaning of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space. Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race disappeared in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.

It's in the movie Forbidden Planet. It works as kind of an intellect booster.

That alone makes him one of the greatest Americans of our time.

Have you heard of the Krell Brain Enhancer?

If we keep this up, one of these days Castro might fall. It's only been, what, 47 years or so? -

And hang out with a bunch of Bautistaistas? Bleh. -
Tais toi. There is too a difference between Democrats and Republicans. It was called Iraq, and now you can call it Iran.

No. This isn't Tinker Bell.

Like Obama is going to win?

I keep forgetting to mention that when my nephew and I were watching game 7 of the ALCS, he told me he loves the Red Sox.

Nels was scorching on that clip. Muy caliente.

Thanks again! I listened to some Pink Floyd on my birthday iPod today. God, that thing is sweet.

I am fond of Hammer horror movies, and ones with Vincent Price in them.

Man, The Misfits were the shit back then. "Death Comes Ripping." Sigh.

I liked Prince of Darkness. I prefer Satan-themed horror to zombie or psycho-themed any day.
-
I vote for that too.

Share Our Wealth As an alternative to what he called the conservatism of the New Deal, Huey Long proposed federal legislation capping personal fortunes, income and inheritances. He used radio broadcasts and founded a national newspaper, the American Progress, to promote his ideas and accomplishments before a national audience. In 1934, he unveiled an economic plan he called Share Our Wealth. Long argued there was enough wealth in the country for every individual to enjoy a comfortable standard of living, but that it was unfairly concentrated in the hands of a few millionaire bankers, busines -

I'm sympathetic. I was mad at Gomez for two years for canceling a show the day before my birthday. Something about a "sick relative."
