"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

That blonde “volunteer” is some kind of scary. Last time I saw a mouth on something like that, it was attached to 15 feet of scaly body and tail, and was trying it’s damndest to get to my dog…
It is a good thing I didn’t have any coffee in my mouth when I read that…
Great one, Byron
That blonde IS rather scary. Capable of scaring a Badger, anyway.
Rage Girl?
It’s all part of the stimulus package. What? You didn’t see the “Shills for Bills” line item in there?
Alarming morning…
Hope all is well at Chez Lex.
Well, I happen to LIKE bacon.
Scott … My husband claims that bacon is one of the five essential foods, and it’s all that’s keeping him alive and well at 84.
That puts me in my place …

Marianne,
Wish you both lived out here. Bacon? We have that. Some of the best I’ve tasted. http://bit.ly/mXEPh This bacon is in the European style, rather than the Southern style, best sold by the slab and cut thick. Don’t cook to crispy — just past transparent will do nicely. It tastes like smokey butter.
Smiles do come to the children’s face when we cook bacon, grits and eggs for breakfast. And yes, we do live in California.
Live long and enjoy!
Of course you can trust your government. Just ask any American Indian, I’m sure they’ll tell you all about it.

Native Americans were granted U.S. citizenship and the right to vote, 54 years after African-American men were formally enfranchised in 1870 with the 15th Amendment, and four years after women received the same right with the 19th Amendment.
Nevertheless, the Native American Indian still has a number of obstacles that deny him participation in our democracy. Despite several recent legislative acts, there incredibly remain many obstacles for Native Americans to vote to this day.
Cry me a river for the Native Americans. No pun intended.
Guess what? Lifes a bitch, it moves on, no guarantees, and it ain’t fair.
Get with the program.
Gosh! None of that sounds right! We have the Bureau of Indian Affairs which labors night and day to look after all those good little indians and they have the Indian Health Service and their own schools and everything provided to them through the generosity of the American government. I’m sure that if they have voting problems that ACORN can straighten them right out and make sure they vote the way they’re supposed to. Why heck, the Indians in this country are a testament to government supervised everything!
Now we get a chance to sign up for the same kind of care!
Lets not forget those hundreds of casinos the Indians have built to expropiate the white man (and several skin colors) of their ill-gotten gains…
