You know, I think I may have a future in politics.
Like John Edwards, my old man was a mill worker.
Unlike John Edwards, I don't have $50 millions dollars nor can I talk to the dead when arguing a case in court...
I don't have the stats on this -- oh why can't this place have a resident economist? -- but I'm sure each new set of elections outspends the previous ones. Back in 2000 it was OMG BUSH/GORE IS SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN EVER BEFORE -- WHY CAN'T THEY USE THAT MONEY TO FEED THE HOMELESS?
It's just like when I hear about "box-office" record-breaking opening-day grosses -- part of it is because tickets cost so much...
I loved that movie when it came out, but it's lost its luster for me -- I don't like the ending; way too rushed.
And despite the political messages constantly being played, I love the Lethal Weapon movies...
What -- did you write that article and want more hits or something?
Same place (continent, actually) that has some people believing boinking a virgin will cure them of AIDS...
Not just national boycotts.
FACTOR-LED National Boycotts.
Actually, the only one of those that seemed to "work" was Pepsi and Ludacris.
And for the record, after listening to "Slaughterhouse" I popped in Da Lynch Mob's "Planet of the Apes." Now that was some whitey-hating music...
But anyone could register as an Independent, so that definition is cheezy. I could register as a Democrat if I wanted to -- it doesn't mean I am one though...
Sounds like a cool place.
The thing about rednecks is that if you let them get to you you'll go insane. Just laugh at them and move on, thanking the Lord that he/she made you the way you are...
