I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

Democrats, when it boils down to it, don't really care about Newt's sex life. But they will hammer him on this issue because they know that it will be bad publicity for him.Originally posted by DinoDoc

If Pekka was running for the presidency, I'd bribe myself into the voters roll just to vote for him.

I like it when a candidate takes the bold stance of backing family vaules, because that anti-family values lobby has too much power and they are really starting to get on my nerves.Last edited by MosesPresley; October 14, 2005, 19:49."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed.
