    And darn it if that doesn't mean we don't need no stinkin environmental laws!

    It's been just fine for 6,000 years, after all!

    Oh brother (SENATOR...which means large numbers of people actually VOTED for this nightmare).

    My bad.

    Still, a group of people voted for her, which still makes me shudder.

    <---shudders



    (the 6,000 years part wasn't even the worst imo, the simple fact that she dismisses any environmental regulation as foolish because "the Earth's done just fine so far" is just so ignorant and shameful)

He swaggers over to Cain's limp body, a proud smirk on his face. Suddenly, Cain, feigning death, springs to life and buries his sword deep into Abel's chest. As blood drips from Abel's mouth and he slumps to the ground, Cain quips, "No one will know you from Adam."

    Yes sir, I like it.

    Side note, poor Mrs X...her English is quite good (a lot better than my Japanese anyway) but once in a while there's a funny "oops", like the time we were exiting Star Tours and she looked at one of the pics on the wall and said "I had no idea you spelled it that way!". So I take a look and it's a picture of Luke Skywalker on a TaunTaun with the caption "Hoth".

    Urg..."sweetie, that's "Hoth", as in the *planet* "Hoth" in the Hoth system, not "horse", and anyway he's not riding a horse HE'S RIDING A TAUNTAUN!"

    Yeah. Good times.

    That's the second time I've written about an obscure politician who later that day went on to be "Worst Person in the World" on his show!

    Hey Keith! Where's my check!?

    I just saw GD in concert last week. Awesome 2 hour show! Jumped around so much that I was exhausted all weekend. I'm not 23 anymore, that's for sure. ;-)
