Enron. Sheesh, what a mess.

Amen to that. Still, I don't see Bush or his administration as the type to look the other way if someone is committing a crime, favors owed or not. I get the feeling that Colin Powell would call bullshit on his own mother if she crossed the line.

Why don't you write him a letter? I'm sure he has somehow forgotten about crime, what with everything else going on. He could organize a "Corporate crime task force" to take care of all the theives who are slipping through the cracks. Or maybe it's just that he likes criminals.

Try the folks who flew several jumbo jets into assorted buildings on the eastern seaboard instead. I'll think of your unemployment while I'm over there fixing things. If we are so weak that our economy can be destroyed by a few acts of terrorism that only killed a few thousand people and wrecked a few buildings, then I say we are phukt! I mean, what a soft weak and sheltered people we are if we get demoralized so easily. I think people have been stealing the foundation out from underneath us for some time and all it took was a bit of a tremor for us to notice how shaky things are. I couldn't agree more. I think the American nation as a whole has become pansie-fied. Everyone quibbles so much over whether or not the trees are being adequately taken care of that we've forgotten that there are people who would do us harm, at any expense to themselves. Now I'm not saying that the trees should be forgotten. But for FUCK'S SAKE, lets remember that war still occurs. Entire nations despise us. And everyone got so indignant that we could be attacked on OUR soil. The threat of terrorism is more real today than it ever has been. The age of information people. Instant coordination between cells operating around the world. More attacks will happen. So for all you pampered whining little bitches who think that Bush is just flexing his muscle for show, get over it. Terrorism is a serious problem, and I'm willing to lay down my life to help stop it. I really don't give a shit if it's not the best thing for our economy. I'm just pissed at the rest of the world for not supporting us in the most noble endeavor the world has ever seen. If ya'll can think of a better solution than military action, I'm all ears. Until then, quit BITCHING and show your president some fucking support.

Did ya'll know that apple seeds contain cyanide? If you peel the husk off and mash some up, you have a ready supply.

That's right, 1982. I'm at the ripe old age of 20, ladies and gents. And you're right about the horrible fashions Muffy. Gawd awful.

Ya, what can I say? Very few things came out of the eighties that I can enjoy. There's me, Tesla, and a select group of swiss chocolates.

The Wanderlust has lured me to the seven lonely seas, Has dumped me on the tailing-piles of dearth; The Wanderlust has haled me from the morris chair of ease, Has hurled me to the ends of all the earth. How bitterly I've cursed it, oh, the Painted Desert knows, The wraithlike heights that hug the pallid plain, The all-but-fluid silence,--yet the longing grows and grows, And I've got to glut the Wanderlust again. Soldier, sailor in what a plight I've been! Tinker, tailor, oh what sight I've seen! And I'm hitting the trail in the morning, boys, And you won't see my heels for dust; For it's "all day" with you When you answer the cue Of the Wanderlust. The Wanderlust has got me. . . by the belly-aching fire. By the fever and the freezing and the pain; By the darkness that just drowns you, by the wail of home desire, I've tried to break the spell of it -- in vain. Life might have been a feast for me, now there are only crumbs In rags and tatters, beggar-wise I sit; Yet there's no rest or peace for me, imperious it drums, The Wanderlust, and I must follow it. Highway, by-way, many a mile I've done; Rareway, fair way, many a height I've won; But I'm pulling my freight in the morning, boys, And it's over the hills or bust; For there's never a cure When you list to the lure Of the Wanderlust. The Wanderlust has taught me . . . it has whispered to my heart Things all you stay-at-homes will never know. The white man and the savage are but three short days apart, Three days of cursing, crawling, doubt and woe. Then it's down to chewing muclucs, to the water you can eat, To the fish you bolt with nose held in your hand. When you get right down to cases, it's King's Grub that rules the races, And the Wanderlust will help you understand. Haunting, taunting, that is the spell of it; Mocking, baulking, that is the hell of it; But I'll shoulder my pack in the morning, boys, And I'm going because I must; For it's so-long to all When you answer the call Of the Wanderlust. The Wanderlust has blest me . . . in a ragged blanket curled, I've watched the gulf of Heaven foam with stars; I've walked with eyes wide open to the wonder of the world, I've seen God's flood of glory burst its bars. I've seen the gold a-blinding in the riffles of the sky, Till I fancied me a bloated plutocrat; But I'm freedom's happy bond-slave, and I will be till I die, And I've got to thank the Wanderlust for that. -Robert Service

My home is Alaska. I'm going back ASAP.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was saying that if the school systems already are checking incomes, then what is this new bill supposed to do?

I have to say, DFA, when we aren't talking politics you crack me up.

Yee HAW!

My dad is a good ol fashioned redneck. I've got a million. "It's raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock." "Shit fire and save the matches." "Colder than a well diggers butt." "Useless as tits on a boar hog." "I poked some fun at her and she took me seriously." (he told me that one on my birthday.)

That's funny shit, man. They need one of Reagan on there too.

There was also that shitty remake of AC/DC on the Varsity Blues soundtrack. I think it was Sprung Monkey. Can anyone make a puking graemlin?

Because covers kick ass! Especially unlikely ones, like NOFX's cover of "All of Me". Lovely, just lovely. Cheers to that.

Tesla is the shiznit yo.

ROCK ON BUDDY! I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND WHILE I'M SITTING IN THE DESERT 3 DAYS FROM NOW!

US Navy?

WOO HOO! We could invest it for ten years and get enough for a latte. At the end, we could just make up some findings and publish them as fact.

I've got the free/reduced lunch form application in front of me right now. Each application requires the social security number of the adult household member signing the application. Without one, the app doesn't get processed. The SSN is then used to "verify correctness of information on the application." (This includes the detailed information about income that is also required on the application.) The verification process is a mix of "audits, program reviews, and investigations that may include contacting employers to determine income" etc. Accountability is in the system already. "The school system has been abusing the lunch program for years." -Such rhetoric really has no basis in fact that I can see. well then wtf are they talking about??? Are they just not verifying EVERYONE'S income?

So that when you crap your pants on some runout alpine kitty-litter chossfest avalanche-gulley couloir serac buttress, it cleanly evacuates out the third hole? You have that problem too???

That was fuckin cool. How did you do that?
